Fascinated by You (GM Series #1)

23

Two weeks. It had already been two weeks since her misunderstanding with Maverick. At hanggang ngayon ay hindi parin siya kinakausap nito. Kahit noong minsang magkasalubong sila, tinignan lamang siya nito saglit tapos ay umiiwas na.

Naiiyak naman siyang bumalik sa room n'ya nung araw na iyon. Kinalimutan na ang pagkain kahit gutom na s'ya. Ang ending tuloy, nahimatay siya sa kalagitnaan ng gym class at kinailangan pang dalhin sa ospital para i-dextrose dahil dehydrated din siya. Mas nagalit tuloy lalo ang Kuya Jordan n'ya at nalaman na ng daddy nila ang sitwasyon n'ya.

"Hindi parin ba kayo okay?" Van asked her. It's still three weeks before their moving-up ceremony and luckily, she was able to comply with her requirements with the help of Vanellope.

She shook her head. "Ayaw n'ya na ata sa akin..." she answered, tears are aiming to fall again.

They were in the field and from their spot, they could see Maverick together with his friends. They were happy, laughing at what Gavin was saying.

"How could he laugh like that when he's aware that I'm hurting?" she asked Van.

"I don't know, Jordyn. But as I can see it, maybe you should start moving on as well. Look at him, parang wala lang sa kanya ang nangyayari sa inyo! Ni hindi ka man lang nga binisita kahit na-ospital ka na," ani na sabi ni Van. "I used to like him for you, but seeing him right now, I regret it. Sana pala ay tinulungan na lang kita sa Kuya ko," dagdag pa nito.

She shook her shook. "Baka hindi niya lang alam na na-ospital ako," sagot niya.

Van cursed. "That's impossible, I had a talk with Easton and I told him about you being hospitalized. Sobrang imposibleng hindi n'ya malalaman 'yun!" sabi pa nito. Nasaktan na naman siya sa sinabi nito.

Alam niya, pero hindi man lang siya nagpunta. She said to herself.

"Mag move-on ka na lang, Jordyn. Ipakita mong kaya mo rin ang ginagawa niya," sulsol pa ng kaibigan n'ya.

She shook her head. "I don't think I can, Van. Masyado ko siyang mahal para kalimutan na lang nang hindi kami nag kakaunawaan," she answered.

"Huwag kang tanga, Jordyn. Kaya mo. Hindi ka na deserve pa ni Maverick," Van said.

Agreeing with her friend, she still waited for Maverick. She even tried going to their house one weekend only to find out that he's out of town with his friends. Determined to see him, she called Van to ask where Maverick is through Caius. But she was disappointed to know that Caius isn't with Maverick and it's not them that Maverick is with.

She didn't know that he has other friends aside from Caius and their other friends.

When Monday came, she went to their department again. Only to get disappointed even more. He wasn't there and no one can tell where he is, even Connor whom she luckily bumped in with.

She had tried all the means she could to contact him but none of them worked. His phone number was out of line when she just saw him talking with someone using his phone. She tried to approach him but he went into his car and sped up. He also blocked her on Facebook and when she asked Van to check his account, his status was already set as single.

That's a super ouch for her. Knowing that he has already decided on their relationship with her, not knowing it. The fucking audacity.

She was fuming mad that when she found out that he's in Tagaytay with his new friends, she didn't think twice of following him there. Using her brother's old car, she drove to Tagaytay alone. She was licensed less and she barely knew how to drive but she still risked it. For her heart's peace, she did.

Thankfully, she got to the place safely. It was a spring resort somewhere in Tagaytay, she was sure that Maverick was in that place because she saw his car in the parking lot. Determined, she went in and asked the receptionist where she could find him, pretending that she was with them and she's just a late comer.

The receptionist told her that the group rented a private room. She was also guided to the door of the room.

She was nervous and her hand was shaking as she held the doorknob. One deep breath and she twisted it open and she was beyond surprised to see what's happening inside.

"Jordyn!" Maverick blurted, he immediately moved away from Eureka and wore his boxer shorts.

She was stunned. With all the scenarios that came to her mind, this wasn't part of those. She never thought he could actually do that to her.

She covered her mouth as sobs started to come out from it. She was also shaking her head, dismissing the fact that's been offered to her.

"Jordyn..." Maverick went to her, trying to hold her but she moved away.

"How... how could you do this to me?" she was able to ask as tears fell from her eyes like waterfalls.

She also glanced at Eureka and the girl won't even show regret. She was still on the sofa with her bra only. She was confused the two ended up together when she thought it was Easton she was dating.

"I didn't mean to h—," she cut him off.

"You didn't mean but you were on top of her? Pleasured as you fuck her?!" she couldn't help but shout. "How dare you cheat one me like this?" she added.

Maverick's eyes darkened and a smirk appeared on his face. "Cheat? Me cheating on you?" He laughed. "Isn't it you who cheated first?" he said.

Her eyes widened with his accusation. "Don't accuse me of something you've done, Maverick! I never cheated on you! I'm too in love with you to even do that!" she answered.

But Maverick just laughed at her again. "In love with me? Stop fooling me, Jordyn. I know what you did with my fucking best friend!" he shouted as well.

"The fuck are you saying and why do you have to involve Caius with our problem again?" she asked.

"Why not? Did you think I won't know how you were flirting with my best friend while we're still together? On how you kissed him on your fucking birthday and how sweet you two were the day you had your visit to our room? Kunwari ka pang ako ang pinuntahan mo, pero ang totoo s'ya naman. Because you are fucking having an affair with him," he shouted on her face.

She slapped him. "Huwag mo sa akin ibintang ang bagay na ikaw ang gumagawa. I never had an affair with anyone. I never flirted nor kissed, Caius! Kalian ba papasok sa utak mo na ikaw ang mahal ko at hindi ko 'yun magagawa sa'yo!"

Maverick laughed and took his phone from the near table. Showing her videos of her and Caius, one was from her birthday when she slipped and the other one was from when she visited him in their building and she was harassed.

"You could have asked me first before believing in that bullshit!"

"For what? To give you chance to lie more? Huwag na, Jordyn! Sa'yo na ang eksplanasyon mo!" Maverick spat before slumming the door to her face but before it could finally shut it, she put her arm to stop it. She squealed from it but endured the pain.

"What the hell are you doing, Jordyn!" Maverick shouted again, attending to her endured arm.

But she pushed him, putting a distance between them. "I slipped and he was there to catch me. I didn't mean to be in that position but I can't do anything about it since it's done," she started. "In the second video, I was harassed and he saved me. I was crying and he offered me his handkerchief but I declined. He wiped my tears because it kept on falling and I couldn't accept his handkerchief," she added.

Her tears kept on falling as she said that, really hurt from all the things he did; from not trusting her, accusing her of cheating on him, and actually cheating on her. She didn't know she could feel so much pain from one person.

"I never cheated on you. I'm too in love with you to even do that," she said before turning her back and finally leaving him, surrendering.

Maverick tried to chase her but she's already in her car and drove it. She was driving so fast that it terrified him.

Jordyn drove her way home fast, eyes full of tears. Not knowing that after a blink, her life will change drastically.
