Chapter Seven: conceited (A Woman's Heart)

Flare's POV
"So, how's the whiskey?"

I continued to ignore Olivia while sipping the whiskey from the glass slowly. It's just been two minutes since we got here but I got bored quickly enough.

I almost dozed off while Olivia is talking about her experiences in many countries and how many times she killed a person when we were young. Yeah. A professional killer's story alright.

"Nakikinig ka ba sa akin, Flare?" she asked. I just glanced at her and sip through the glass. "Hey! I'm talking to you!"

I put the glass on the table and looked at her. "It's boring here. Can I go back to the house, please? A parrot just keeps on talking about her experiences," I said sarcastically.

She raised an eyebrow. "Excuse me? Pinaparinggan mo ba ako, Flare?"

"Who do you think it is?" I stared at her coldly. "You're just one who keeps blabbering your experiences as if it was worth listening."

"Because it is!" She sighed. "Well, if I were you, I would appreciate all the experiences my fiancé has."

"But I'm not you. And I'm not just anyone who wanted to listen to all your boastfulness and your achievements. Please enjoy your own entertainment," I said and stood up. I put on cash between the plate and the table. "Pay the cash. Enjoy your meal. I'll get going now."

Then, I left the restaurant without knowing her reaction.

Olivia's POV
THAT MAN REALLY PISSED ME OFF TO THE CORE NOW!

I hate it. I hate that Flare hates me, but I'm just doing this for our own good. Can't he see? Ginagawa ko 'to para sa hinaharap namin! I want our marriage to continue so we could have a better life, far away from the old life we had.

Tinawag ko ang waiter at saka binayaran na ang pagkain gamit ang iniwang pera ni Flare bago ako umalis ng restaurant na 'yon.

The food sucked anyways. 'Di pumasa sa taste ko.

Nang makalabas ako ng restaurant, nakita ko si Flare na hindi kalayuang naglalakad papalayo sa lugar kung saan ako nakatayo. Tumakbo ako papunta sa kanya. Good thing I didn't wear any heels on today. Nang makalapit ako sa kanya ay tinanong ko agad siya.

"What's your problem? Why did you leave me there? Pinahiya mo ako!"

Huminto siya sa kanyang paglalakad at tumingin sa akin. "Pardon? For your information, I didn't embarrass you. Your talks are not worth to listen. As a smart professional killer, you seem more a 'bobo' kaysa kay Mavis."

"Are you insulting me?!" Ginagago ata ako ng lalaking 'to.

"Yes. Yes, I am," sabi niya. "I don't like your company with me as always." Nilagay niya ang kanyang kamay sa paketa ng kanyang trousers. "You're making me sick."

Ouch. That hurts. Parang may tumusok sa aking dibdib ko nang sinabi niya iyon. "Don't you wanna act that you're kind to me for a moment? I invited you to be my date!"

"This kind of date has no meaning. It's a purely acquainted date that you wanted to do with me. If you want to say something when we are in the restaurant, say it right here," he said coldly. "Let me tell you something. I don't like you."

That froze my heart to the core. Napakalamig niya sa akin. Hindi ko alam kung papaano ko pa siya babasagin sa kalamigan niya.

"I don't want you. For those ten years we've been engaged, I have no feelings growing for you. You took away Mavis from me. You made me do all of the disgusting things I do not want. You drugged my drinks. You faked your sincerity. You faked your genuineness. So, how can I love you?"
