Ace Of The Beauty (El Vicente Series #3) COMPLETED

Kabanata 8

"Damn you, Hunter!" bulalas ko nang magpakita sa akin si Hunter kinabukasan matapos ang katarantaduhan niya kahapon.

Rashid left me with this motherfucker. Ramdam ko ang inis niya nang iwanan niya ako at hindi ko na nahabol nang umalis. Kaya naman pagkaalis niya'y puno ng pagmumura ko ang shop ni Lerwick.

Hunter covered my mouth and peeked outside. "He's fucking mad at me, do you know that-"

Sinipa ko ang paa niya. "Ofcourse, he should! Nakakainis ka. Sabi ko na nga ba't palpak ang mga plano mo!"

Tinulak ko siya palayo sa akin. I don't know why he had to pull me out of the blue and hide me in a dark area. Someone might think something weird if they saw us here. Sumandal siya sa kabilang dingding at natatawa sa inis ko.

"Galit siya sa akin, Gianna. Do you get it? My plan is working." pagyayabang niya.

I combed my hair and laughed sarcastically. "Do you want me to rejoice because of that? He's mad at me, too, Hunter. Dahil sa kagaguhan mo."

"That's easy. Important is.. he's reacting towards my plan. Halos suntukin na ako kanina ng gago. See? He blew his mind away. I wasn't even trying my best." humalukipkip siya.

"At anong gagawin ko ngayon? Tanga ka talaga."

"Write him a love quote, tutal doon ka naman magaling-"

"Fuck you."

"Just kidding!" Humagalpak ang tawa niya at iiling iling. "Puntahan mo. He's just a small fierce kitty, Gianna. Yes, he's fierce but he's just a kitty."

"I have to attend my class, hindi ko siya mapupuntahan."

Ngumuso siya at tumingala, tila nag-iisip. "I think he'd drop off the tattoo shop this afternoon. Agahan mo, baka maabutan mo." he pushed himself out of the wall and walked in front of me. Yumuko siya. "You're welcome, Gianna."

I rolled my eyes. "Fuck off."

He bit his lips and in a quick move, he sniffed my hair. Suminghap ako at tinulak siya palayo.

He chuckled playfully. "Sungit." pagkatapos ay iiling iling na umalis sa harapan ko.

Iritado akong umirap. Ang tarantadong si Hunter ay hindi na matapos tapos ang kasalanan sa akin. Hindi ko maipagkakailang may tulong naman siya kahit papaano pero nakakainis pa din talaga siya.

Even add my annoyance towards my father at home. Nakauwi na si Mom kagabi at ang sabi niya'y tulad ng dati, sa opisina siya nagpalipas ng gabi. We didn't talk about our fight but atleast, I told her I was sorry. Meanwhile, my father, didn't come home. Mom was guessing he was with his mistress, either the first or the second one, we don't know.

Hindi ko nakita si Rashid maghapon. Balak ko din sana hanapin pero may iilan akong schoolwork na tinapos. Hindi man halata pero nag-aaral naman ako ng maayos. I ignored Julian, iyong manliligaw ko na malapit ko nang bastedin. I planned to text him but I was really busy, isa pa ay wala ako sa mood dahil iyon nga, hindi ko nakita si Rashid buong araw.

"So what's going on with you and Rashid now?" Shae asked out of the blue while walking since we're both out.

Nilingon ko siya sa biglaang tanong. "Nothing. Asa ka namang meron.." ngumuso ako at biglang nalungkot.

"Wala pa ba? So it means, he's still single?"

Kumunot ang noo ko. "He's always been single.."
