CHAPTER 5.2

"Might! God I miss you so much!" The girl giddily hugged him. 

He was taken aback, but was able to pull himself after a snap. Mabilis niyang tinanggal ang braso nitong nangunyapit sa kaniyang leeg.

"What are you doing here?" He asked coldly in listless. Ngunit tila hindi naman nito pinansin ang kaniyang sinabi. 

Nag-umpisang uminit ang ulo niya nang bigla na lamang itong pumasok sa loob ng kaniyang unit.

"Les, you're not welcome here. And how the hell did you know my address?" He frowned in annoyance.

"Mighty, I am your fiancee, that's why I'm always welcome here."

'Fiance?'

The insolent brat sat on his sofabed, crossing her legs. Her back was straight, and she looked proud. "And... I have my ways to know your whereabouts," dagdag pa nito.

Luscious face darkened. He's not liking her tone. "Les, You. Are. Not. My. Fiancee. I don't have anyone actually. And can you just leave me the f*ck alone?" he bellowed in gritted teeth. Dumadagdag sa inis niya ang tila pagsunod nito sa kaniya. She's like a freaking stalker, and it creeps the hell out of him!

"I am your fiancee! Remember, we had s*x! Four years away from you is already enough! Binigay ko sa 'yo ang kalayaan mo ng apat na taon, Might!" His jaw clenched as the woman stomp her feet. 

This girl isn't just a brat, but an effin' immature as well!

"How many times do I have to tell you, Les, wala nga akong alam. I don't even know how the h*ll we happened to be on the same bed! Kaya pwede ba tigilan mo na ang paggamit ng excuse na 'yon sa 'kin! I'll never marry you," Luscious roared dangerously.

Nakita niya ang sakit na bumalatay sa mukha nito. But he will never give a d*mn. He knew this trick of her, and he will never fall for that again!

Tama na ang ilang taong pangengealam nito sa buhay niya. Hinayaan niya ito noon dahil akala niya sadyang makulit lang ito. The Leslie he knew was also sweet and kind. Not this cunning woman, standing in front of him now. 

Napatunayan niya na iyon nang isang araw ay magising na lang siyang kasama ito sa iisang kama. Ito rin ang laging dinadahilan nito kung bakit dapat niya itong pakasalan.

His face was emotionless. His eyes stayed blank. "Just go, Les. Leave. Me. Alone." 

Kahit pa naiirita na siya rito ay ma-ingat niyang iginiya ito palabas habang hawak ang siko. 

Leslie cried aloud, "No Might! You're mine! You'll marry me!" She tried her best to struggle against his grip, but Luscious was far stronger than her.

"Just go, Les. And stop pestering me. Huwag mong antaying masagad ang pasensya ko. You know I'm not that patient." His lips formed into a thin line. 

Nang lumuwag ang pagkakahawak niya rito ay marahas nitong hinaklit pabalik ang siko. Nagngi-ngitngit siya nitong nilingon ng may ngisi sa labi.

"Not happening, Might. Just wait and see. You'll have no other choice, but to be with me." May diin sa bawat salitang binitawan nito.

Hearing Leslie's nonsensical blabbering, Luscious tsked, and slammed the door in her face! Napahilamos siya ng sariling mukha, dahil sa labis na iritasyon. Now he had to move into another place. Alam niyang babalik ang babae at hindi niya na gugustuhing makita pa ito.

Leslie is still a woman. Kahit papa'no ay nirerespeto niya ito sa kabila ng mga ginawa nito. Kaya mas nakabubuting lumayo na lamang siya kesa mapagsalitaan pa ito ng masama.

He dialed Wrath's number and after two rings, the call was connected.

"Hey," sagot nito sa kabilang linya.

"Wrath, prepare my mansion. I'm moving in."

"Wow! Just wow! I'm your secretary for the meantime, bud, but not anyone who can do all your sh*ts!" his friend hissed.

"Just do it, man. I'll pay you five million for the job."

Wrath sighed from the other side of the line. Alam niyang hindi ito tatanggi dahil may bayad.

"Now we're talking... But still, d*mn you!" 

"Yeah, whatever," he sighed.

"By the way, why are you suddenly moving?"

He puffed a loud breath and hissed, "She's back." 

"Who?" Wrath asked in curiosity.

Luscious tsked. He was about to tell who it was, when Wrath cursed as if the idea finally dawned on him. 

"You really need to move out there, bud," he scorned. "Should I call the gang for a drink?" pang-iinis pa nito sa kaniya.

"G*go! Just do what I told you to f*cking do!"

Narinig niyang malakas itong natawa nang bahagyang tumaas ang kaniyang boses. Wrath is no different from his other friends. They really like getting into his nerves!  

Mabilis niyang pinatay ang tawag. Sigurado siyang iku-kwento nito sa iba pa ang problema niya. And he will surely be roasted to ashes before his friends stop.

Luscious groaned at the thought.

Wrath was also a businessman. He's one of his weirdo friends. Kung ano-ano ang ginagawa nito sa tuwing walang matinong magawa sa buhay, kagaya nalang ngayon. Nang malaman nitong wala siyang secretary ay  nag-apply agad ito sa kaniyang kompanya. 

Napa-iling na lamang siya sa kabaliwan ng kaibigan.

Luscious fired his previous secretary that time. Why? Because he had s*x with her. And the woman never stopped flirting with him after they did it once. 

Gano'n naman madalas. Walang tumatagal sa kaniyang babaeng sekretarya dahil kadalasan ay iba ang habol ng mga ito. They're just working to get his attention. Sanay na sanay na siya sa bagay na iyon. At hindi niya rin alam kung kailan siya makakakuha ng matinong sekretarya. Or better if he will just hire a man as his secretary. 

'Not a bad idea.'

ANGEL WAS eating with her friends in the dining table. After a week of resting, she's finally okay. Hindi na sumasakit ang kaniyang katawan, especially her precious cherry between the legs.

"Jas, sasama ka pa ba sa 'min pabalik ng Singapore," tanong ni Joy sa kanilang kaibigan. 

"Gaga, at bakit naman hindi?" balik nitong tanong.

Joy shrugged. "Well, mukhang nagiging okay na kayo ni Kaj. Baka ito na ang continuation ng love story niyo."

Angel saw how Jasmine stiffened at that. She gaze her side, and secretly smiled sadly. 

Alam niyang darating ang panahon na magka-kaniya kaniya silang magkakaibigan. At hindi naman niya ito pipigilan kung anong ang sa tingin nitong magpapasaya rito. Ngunit bago niya hayaang sumama ang kaibigan sa lalakeng 'yon, ay kailangang masiguro nilang hindi nito sasaktan si Jasmine. Dahil talaga namang maghahalo ang balat sa tinalupan 'pag nagkataon.

She clasped her hands before speaking. Nakapatong ang dalawa niyang siko sa ibabaw ng mesa. "Don't get pressured, Ja. Nagtatanong lang naman si Joy. And besides, we'll be staying here while she's working with her annulment. You still got a lot of time to think. Marami ka pang panahon para masiguro kung ipaglalaban ka na ba niyang lalakeng 'yan."

"I know. Thank you," maikli nitong sagot nang nakatungo."

"Eh ikaw, Gel. Anong gagawin mo habang wala kang ginagawa dito?"

"I have a plan to make sure that Kaj will never cheat on Ja." Mataman siyang tinitigan ng dalawang natigil rin sa pagkain. "Only if Ja allows me to do it." She raised an eyebrow.

"Game ako d'yan." Joy snapped, then clapped her hands profusely.

"Ano bang plano mo?" kagat-labing tanong ni Jasmine sa kaniya. 

Angel saw a tinge of hesitation in her eyes.

Uminom muna siya ng tubig bago magsalita. "First, kailangan kong maging malapit sa kaniya para masiguro kong mababantayan ko ang mga kilos niya."

"Mukha naman akong walang tiwala no'n sa kaniya," matamlay nitong wika.

She wanted to roll her eyeballs at her friend's response.

"Jas, ginagawa lang 'to ni Gel para masigurong hindi ka na gagaguhin ng lalakeng 'yon. Kundi puputulan ko talaga siya."

"Kung hindi okay sa 'yo, Ja, okay lang naman. It's your call."

Jasmine sighed in surrender. "Fine. I know you have a point. Tsaka ayaw ko na ring masaktan uli 'no."

Tipid siyang napangiti sa sinabi nito. Angel smirked, and explained the idea she had in mind. "I'll apply as his secretary. I'll be his regular employee tutal mukhang matatagalan ang process ng annulment ni Joy. Then I'll report everything to you. Tapos you decide kung mananatili ka ba sa tabi niya. Kung worth- risking ba ulit ang ipaglaban siya. Remember what you heard from his 'ex-fiance'? I don't think titigil na 'yon sa paghabol sa lalakeng mahal mo. Bukod pa do'n, ito ang gusto ng Mommy ni Kaj para sa kaniya."

Jasmine nodded firmly. "You're right. We'll do this to make sure that this time, he will stand for our relationship. I trust him. Pero alam kong may lamat na ang tiwala ko lalo na dahil sa nangyare sa amin noon. Tapos parang may hindi pa siya masabi sa 'kin. But one thing's for sure. If he really loves me, hindi siya gagawa ng kahit anong kalokohan. And his ex-fiancee will never have Kaj without a fight with me."

"Fierce!" Natatawang sambit ni Joy.

"I'm scared." She smirked 

Matamis naman itong ngumiti sa kanila. Mabuti naman at marunong na itong lumaban hindi katulad noon. 

Well, in her opinion, Jasmine really had to stand strong this time. If she's really persistent to work things out with Kaj, she has to fight with her all even with the risk of failing.

There's no certain in this world. And love is not an excuse.
