The Magnetic: Loving The Womanizer

Chapter 9

Chapter 9: "And like the moon, we must go through phases of emptiness to feel full again."

She hasn't done anything wrong but for some unknown reason, I don't like her. I just gave her a small smile as Vash introduced me to her. Her face had a friendly smile, but I just didn't feel at ease with her. 

"Finally! Ang tagal ko ng gusto na makilala ka. But your boyfriend here.." she said, rolling her eyes.

Vash just laughed. Pasimple ko siyang pinagmasdan. She's quite liberated when it comes to her fashion style; short shorts and midriff. I had to admit that she's sexy. She's pretty but not striking. Her charisma though is another thing.

"Do you want anything, Mahal?"

"Wala na-"

"Mahal?" gagad ni Joey. "My goodness! Ang baduy mo, Vash!"

"Don't be so bitter just because you don't have one," he responded teasingly.

She scoffed. "It's by choice, man. By choice," she said in a sexy way then winked at him. 

I knew that it was just a friendly banter, but it pissed me off. He sat beside me, laughing, and put his arms around me. I didn't like the fact that she was flirting with my boyfriend. Regardless it was a banter or not.

I looked around their studio then my gaze went to his friend and bandmate, Calem, who has a stunning, beautiful face but quiet and aloof. Pero ang sabi naman ni Vash ay mabait siya hindi lang sociable na tao. 

"Quit staring at him."

Bumaling ako sa kanya at bibiruin sana siya pero bigla akong umurong ng makita ko ang ekspresyon ng mukha niya. Wala siyang kangiti-ngiti, and when he's like this he could be pretty intimidating. 

"Napatingin lang ako sa kanya."

"Napatingin? You were staring at him." Napanganga ako ng inirapan niya ako. 

Niyakap ko ang braso niya. "Mahal, na-curious lang ako sa kanya."

Bad move. It seemed I had added insult to injury; I couldn't paint his face anymore. "Why are you curious about him?"

Hinila ko na siya sa labas bago pa kami mapansin ng mga kabanda niya. He put his hands in his pocket and leaned against the wall, looking away from me. I scratched my forehead, thinking how I could pacify him. 

"Look, it was nothing. I just got so curious because he was so quiet unlike your other bandmates," I explained calmly.

"So what?" Pagsu-suplado pa rin niya at inirapan pa ako.

Why did it slip my mind that he was possessive? "Sure, he has a beautiful face and quite mysterious, as well. Pero-"

Natahimik ako ng iniharap niya ang mukha sa akin, wearing a poker face. "Beautiful face?" He scoffed.

"Oo. Pero-"

"Vash, let's start! Oh.. sorry, did I interrupt something?" Nagpalipat-lipat ang tingin niya sa aming dalawa.

Hindi ako natuwa sa biglang pagsulpot ni Joey pero hindi tamang mabaling sa kanya ang inis ko dahil sa hindi namin pagkakaintindihan ni Vash. Pinilit kong ngumiti ng tipid at umiling sa kanya.

"Let's go inside," he muttered coldly.

Hinawakan niya ako sa siko at iginiya papasok sa studio. Umupo na lang ako sa pwesto ko kanina. Kumunot ang noo ko ng mapansin na nilapitan ni Joey si Vash at mukhang may sinabi. I didn't hear what she said. Pero nakita ko na tumango lang ang huli. Tinapik pa niya sa balikat si Vash.
