Chapter 3

"Shan, wait!"

I stopped from walking and looked back where Patrick is. He's now stepping forward as his back hand's busy removing the lipstick of that girl he was kissing. I raised my brow when he is already in front of me. He smirked and snake his arm on my waist like he didn't do something cringe a while ago.

I divert my gaze to the girl who is still standing where they kissed. Her lips parted while her eyes were sets on my waist where Patrick's arm placed. I shook my head a little as I'm removing his arm around me.

"Step back or I'll punch you?" I warned him but he gave me a smirked and snaked his arm back my waist.

"Huwag kang maarte, Shan,"

he whispered softly leaning his face on me. I stared at his grey eyes, they were beautiful.. I shut my eyes off and pushed him a bit. Sobrang lapit na ng mukha niya sa akin. I could feel his heavy breath with a mixture of mint cigarette and alcoholic drinks. He is probably drunk. Natatabunan lang ng facial expression niyang mapang asar.

"Ang baho ng hininga mo, Rye.." I said and placed my index finger horizontally on my nose.

I heard him chuckled because of what I've said. I saw the girl rolled her eyes on me as she is walking on her way out. I don't know if she has a crush on him or she's just mad at me dahil nasira ko moment nila ng lalaking tumatawa ngayon sa harap ko.

Patrick Rionne Iland, the womanizer but never tried to enter in any intimate relationship. A feeler dumb ass.

The sun's rays reflects on my window in the next morning. I brush my eyes using my back hand before totally opened it. I tried to stand up but then, I went back sitting the edge of my bed because of I feel my head spinning. Sht! Seems like naparami ang nainom ko kagabe kasama ang mga pinsan ko, ah. Umaga na kami nakauwi kaya naman tanghaling tapat na rin kung magising ako.

Nilihis ko ang mga mata sa pinto when kuya step in with him is a food tray with glass of water and medicine. I furrowed my brows as I stared at him.

"I'm not sick, Kuya."

He raised his brow at me too as if it wasn't obvious, "and who says you are sick, huh?"

"Eh, para sa ano ang gamot kung ganoon?" I crossed my arms below my chest, never leave his eyes.

"Baka para magkaboyfriend ka na?" he said with sarcasm.

Ngumiwi ako sa sinabi niya at tumango na lang bago ininom ang gamot na dinala niya.

"Just put it back downstairs, Kuya. Doon ako kakain. Maliligo lang muna ako," I said and stood up, leaving him alone inside my bedroom.

I tried to remember what happened last night and it only made me groaned in frustration when the memories of Patrick kissing that girl was the first thing came up to my memory. Wala talagang habas ang pagiging babaero ng lalaking 'yon. It only minutes I took bathing before I went out and go downstairs to eat my lunch.

Nang makababa ako, medyo nagulat pa akong narito ang designer ni mommy para sa debut ko bukas. I almost forgot my birthday for damn sake. I shook my head secretly as I put a curve on my lips while walking toward them. I only wear my tank top and pair it to my short shorts. I walk conciously in front of them.

"Hi," I greeted my parents and mom's hired designer.

Mommy grabbed my waist making me move closer to her. I smiled to daddy and he only gave me a small smile. It's okay though. Minsan pa nga hindi niya iyon sinasagot.

"Hello, Shan," she greeted me back with her smiling face. She's beautiful I really love to see her here with her big headband at the top of her head. Bangs fell organizely. She's wearing high heels with her fitted branded dress.
