Amber Alert (El Vicente Series #1) [COMPLETED]

Kabanata 26

Hunter Lucas Cullen.

The man that visits me often in my dreams is now a few meters apart from me. After five years of being away, I never thought I'd be this upset once I saw him again. No, this is more than upsetting. This is frustration!

I thought I'd be fine... I thought I would just shrug it away. Tama pala... manginginig pa din ako pagdating sa kaniya.

Cold gray eyes, narrow nose, grim bow-shaped lips, and very sharp jaw. His hair is pushed backward and it's on his clean cut very away from how it is before. He's breathtaking in person. He's a fucking definition of seduction and a god.

May hawak siyang itim na mask sa kabilang kamay at nakasabit ang wayfarer niya sa itim na long-sleeved polo. His dark jeans is making me drool. And oh god, those Balenciaga shoes.

Of course. Stupid, Amber. He is a walking million dollar now. I don't recognize him at all. All I could feel is a thousand deja vu.

"Nice hair, Krish! Comeback ba?" the second guy said. Hindi siya pamilyar sa akin.

They didn't notice me. Kaagad kong tinakpan ang mukha ko gamit ang magazine na sila din naman ang nakikita ko. They passed by me and obviously, went to the girl at my back.

Kating kati na akong umalis at nagsisi kung bakit ba ako pumunta dito. Why the heck is this happening?

"Ang ingay mo, Geiko. Walang comeback!" she giggled.

Tumawa din iyong baklang mukhang naga-assist sa kaniya.

"Damn, this is stressing. Nakakaurat iyong mga paparazzi sa labas. Wala tuloy akong lusot makipag-date!" I heard Ruther. "Pasuyo naman, Krish, pilitin mong makipagdate sa'kin..."

"She doesn't want to be linked with you, Ruther. Alam mo kung bakit?"

"Bakit?"

"You have tons of ex-girlfriends! Sisira ng pangalan niya ang pakikipagdate sayo."

"Eh, nagawa naman namin dati, ah?"

"I heard pinikot mo raw siya noon.

"Ouch!"

Hindi ako mapakali sa upuan ko. The mirror on my side might show my side profile and I don't want them to notice that I'm here.

Dahil bakit? That would be hella awkward. What should I do? Greet them? Hello, it's been five years since I broke your heart. Gosh, no!

Baka mapahiya pa ako rito. I really shouldn't went here.

Tinignan ko ang paa ko at katatapos lang ng isa. He's quite fast but that's not enough. I want it to be faster. Para makaalis na ako rito!

"Hunt, ano? Do you want to come with me to the shoot on Friday?"

There. She asked!

"I'll check my schedule."

Humigpit ang kapit ko sa magazine at halos punitin ko na. I guess my hunch is right. They've been dating when I left. I was so sure that Krisha liked him.

He changed a lot. Even his voice, I can't almost recognize. I don't know him..

I guess he moved on from me now. I left him without a proper goodbye.

Wala akong sinabi. He didn't know I was leaving. I left him with so many questions. Iniwan ko siya na walang dahilan. Or probably, I had reasons, and it was all a lie.

I can still remember that time. All too well. It was my jealousy, my pain, my pride, and all the traumas built into one. Natalo ako.

I tried to hurt him just so he could set me free with open arms. Just so he would be mad at me. Gustong gusto kong magalit siya sa akin at itaboy nalang ako. That would be easier, I thought.
