How to Date the Gangster

Chapter 21

Pyra Salazar

"Pyra, can we please talk?"

I rolled my eyes as I heard his voice behind me. It's been three days since that incident and I'm doing my best to avoid him. I don't even know why, but I get irritated whenever I see him.

Liam was furious when we got home but I calmed him down and simply made an excuse for Alexander. I have too much on my plate, I can't have him telling my grandparents that Alexander is 'apparently' a cheater,

I don't know if they already talked to each other. Knowing Liam, he would have already said sorry. Bahala sila!

I ignored him and continued to walk, wala naman kaming dapat pag usapan. I know my place and I shouldn't demand anything from him. He's already doing me a favor, that's already enough.

"I'm sorry..." he sighed as he continued to walk behind me.

It's been days and ganto lagi ang setup, hindi ba siya napapagod? I smiled at him that night to show him that we're good.

Parang wala din siyang balak lubayan ako hanggat di niya ko nakakausap, he can be really persistent. My God!

"I have nothing to say, Alexander," I whispered as I faced him and stared right into his eyes.

"I do! It was a misunderstanding—"

"Liam misunderstood. I already talked to him, he said sorry," I cut him off.

"She's just a business associate..." he calmly finished his sentence.

"Even if we're just pretending to be together, I won't cheat on you," he added as he fixed his glasses on his sharp nose.

"Did I ask?" I raised my eyebrow at him.

"Huh?" He looks confused.

"Did I ask who she is?" I clarified my question and stared coldly at him but he just chuckled.

My brows automatically furrowed, why the hell is he smiling?

"You're the only one I'm courting, I'm sorry if I made you feel otherwise," he still can't hide the smile on his face, and that's pissing me off.

"Shut up," I turned away but he quickly caught my wrist, ang kulit naman nito!

"I want to make it up to you, please?" I can feel the tingling sensation in my chest as he moved closer.

He's looking intensely at me, pleading for my positive answer. Damn, I'm still pissed at him but why can't I completely ignore him? It's only been three days, and I'm on the verge of 'forgiving' him. Though, he didn't really do anything wrong, masyado lang talagang malisyoso si Liam.
