SPADE (GXG)

Cinco

Gorilla - Bruno Mars

Victoria Madrid

I'm peacefully laying in my bed when my thoughts came running back from what happened between me and Spade earlier.

Ugh!

Just by the thought alone of Spade kissing me is sending me a disgusting type of shiver. I can't believe I let that Happen. For fuck's sake, it was my first kiss! I let her steal it.

I wanna slit her throat open! And how come na naka punta ako sa expensive penthouse niya? George texted me na may announcement daw siya kaya kailangan niya ako pumunta sa Condo na 'yon. And how come na kumpleto kami, at sa bahay niya pa.

Truth be told, I envied her, of course hindi malala ang inggit ko sa kanya because come on, I'm Victoria Madrid, I have everything. Well, except independence. For all my life napaka strict at protective ng parents ko, lalo na si Daddy. I always follow what he told me what to do. I can't disobey Dulce and Silverio Madrid. I've always wanted to meet their expectations.

Ever since I was a kid, laging dinidiin sa akin ni Daddy na ako ang magmamana ng different businesses namin sa Spain maging dito sa Pilipinas. I'm an only child kaya no choice ako na kunin ang lahat ng pinaghhirapan na kumpanya ng mga magulang ko. Lagi akong na pepressure sa kanila dahil marami silang expectations na hindi ko kayang mapag sabay-sabay. The only thing that I can do that is not against my will is being a cheerleader. I've always wanted to be one.

I've always wondered kung ganito rin ba ang nararanasan ng isang Spade Laurent. I know she has siblings kaya mapag sasaluhan nila ang company ng parents niya. But what made me impressed about her is yung time management niya. She's a Volleyball player, an outstanding student, I also know na paunti-unti na rin siyang nagpapa takbo ng company nila, and most of all Babaero. How come na nagagawa niya pang makipag landian sa iba na marami siyang ginagawa?!

Nag-init naman ang ulo sa kaisipang babaero si Spade. Ugh! Sa babaero ko pa nabigay ang first kiss ko. Wait, No. I didn't give it to her. She freaking stole it!

I can't sleep because the image of us kissing inside the school gymn is clouding inside my mind.

"Ugh!" Hindi ako mapakali sa kaiisip kaya naisipan kong tawagan muna si Isabelle. Siya nalang ang gising pa sa oras na ganito. After a few rings sinagot niya ito.

"Bakit gising ka pa?"

"I was just- I don't know, marami lang bumabagabag sa akin?" I stood up from the bed and walked to my balcony. Tanaw mula sa kinakatayuan ko ang malaking swimming pool sa baba.

"Cut the crap, tell me."

"Something happened today." I exhaled. I pinched the bridge of my nose.

"Ano nangyare?" Teka boses ni Claude yun ah?

"What the fuck?" Paano nakapasok si Claude sa tawag?

"Oh chill, I didn't put them in the call. You were calling sa group chat." Depensa ni Isabelle. Them? So nandito sila lahat? I checked my phone and tama nga, present sila lahat... maliban kay Spade. Thank Christ!

"Damn, I should be careful next time."

"Spill." Tuya ni Zuri.

"Nevermind, go to sleep everyone." Ready na akong ibaba ang tawag. 2AM na rin at kailangan na matulog.

"Hep! Hep! Hep!" Pahabol ni Andrea ng ibababa ko na sana ang tawag. "Spill!"

"Okay I'm gonna tell you pero blind item lang, baka asarin nyo pa ako eh." Mahirap na eh kaibigan din nila si Spade. "What would you feel if nahalikan ka ng tao na kinakaayawan mo sa lahat-lahat, and worst, first kiss mo pa talaga." I took a deep breath as I let out my angst against Spade. "And the much worst part is that you reciprocated from the kiss? And... and... you somehow felt- fuck! I don't know, it's just." I exhaled. "I can't describe it because I felt all the emotions at once."
