When Playboy Meets The Odd

CHAPTER TWO

SAGE

Bad day! Super!

Sabi ko na nga ba wala talaga akong magiging magandang araw with that guy. My happy thoughts will always vanish whenever he open his dumb mouth!

Nanggagalaiti ako sa paghahati ng steak ko. I can't even enjoy this delicious food with him looking at me at the other side of the table.

Iniisip ko na siya itong hinahati ko, and the sauce are his blood!

"Hija..." I sudddenly stop when I realized na hindi nga lang pala ako at ang mokong ang nasa mesa. Their whole family is in here.

Bigla akong nahiya. I slowly put down the small knife at isinubo na lang ang kakaunting kanin sa plato ko. I made an awkward smile at Tito Dos, Mom's husband, bago ako hindi sinasadyang mapatingin kay Mama na nakatingin lamang sa kinakain.

She's unusually silent today. Sa buong hapag ay hindi siya nagsalita miski isang letra.

Kanina pa ako nahihiya because I keep on noticing their glances on me.

A man with his flirty smile suddenly caught my eye. Pano ba naman kasi ay siya lang ang malikot sa mesang ito. He's busy talking with the girl besides him. Not just talking ha, but flirting!

Yes, I am talking about Monsy.

Hindi ba't pinsan niya 'yan? Is Monserrat into some incest relationship now?

Yuck.

"Ewan. She's a sociopath daw eh..."

A little voice caught my attention. Isang salita pa lang sa sinabi niya ay alam kong ako na agad ng tinutukoy. But whatever! Everyone thinks that way naman eh.

Natapos na ang nakakasuffocate na breakfast and I am here with Monserrat's cousins. Tito Dos insisted me to go and have fun with them. Ayoko sana and I'd rather feed the cows or go fishing sa dagat pero I need to follow his order.

Kanina pa nililipad ang palda ng dress ko at nabobored na ako dahil wala pa ang bangka. They want to have some tour on the sea.

"Ericka, we should go island hopping! Nakakabored kung isang island lang!" A girl in his blue polkadots dress said.

Monserrat's cousins were composed of four girls and three boys. Napapansin ko rin ang kanina pang paninitig sa akin ng mga lalaki. I just disregarded the thought. Maybe they're not just used to my presence.

"Should we? Monserrat?" One of the girls said. Ito 'yung kanina pa kausap ni Monsy. This girl may be his closest cousin. Hindi na sila mapaghiwalay! Kung hindi lang talaga magpinsan ay maiisip ko nang may relasyon.

Or maybe they have?

Oh, silly, Sage! Don't be a judgemental bitch.

A small yacht caught my attention. Nagsimulang magsigawan ang mga babaeng pinsan niya. That surely is an expensive yacht. First time ko pang makakasakay sa ganyan. I might as well enjoy this tour na talaga.

"Alessia, this is my dream yacht!" Isa-isa na silang nagtakbuhan para salubungin ang yate.

Even I, couldn't hide my smile anymore. The presence of the yacht made the sea more beautiful and I...

"You should buy me yacht Monsy!" A sweet flirty voice said. Napalingon ako sa babaeng kasama pa rin ni Monsy. She's really pretty and has a nice smile. Mukha namang mabait, but what is she even saying?

"Too early. What about a watch?" I almost puke at that tone. Monserrat Antonio is truly a flirt! Obvious na naglalandian ang dalawa. Do their cousins know about them? May relasyon talaga! They're even thinking about giving gifts to each other na hindi kasama yung iba?
