KABANATA 6

I gritted my teeth as I looked at him, nasama ko siyang tinignan. He gives me the looks that I’m giving him right now.

“What the hell is your problem?!” I exclaimed.

Ano bang problema nitong lalaking to? At first I let him look at me like that, kasi niligtas ‘nya ko kanina.

But now? I was getting pissed on him already, cause a girl's freaking attitude is something.

He’s already bullying me, with that look and this action that he’s giving me? Heck, hindi ko ‘to papalagpasin.

At saka bakit siya nanghihila nalang ng bigla? And take note babae ako! He should be delicate with me.

Hindi yung basta niya nalang ako hinihila without knowing na what if masaktan ako right?

What if my shoulder got hugot-hugot ‘edi mawawalan ako ng shoulder, imagine I couldn’t write anymore, what if I looked ugly without my shoulder?

I’m having goosebumps just by imagining it. Kapag nangyari talaga ‘yon, I’m going to file a case, no that’s too nice! Maybe killing him is enough.

I glared at him. “Look, I don’t know what the hell is your problem but can you be gentle with me!”

Napalunok ako ng ilapit niya niya ang muka niya sakin. I can even feel his breath, I gulped and looked away.

“The problem is you.”

Doon ako napatingin sa kaniya. “that’s ridiculous!” I fake my laughed.

“I’m the problem? Like how?”

He stared at me and said nothing, he’s close and I could feel my heartbeat doubled. I’m pissed but this feeling won’t leave me, and the fact that he’s handsome when he’s mad.. I’m going crazy.

But fuck, I’m still pissed now. I pointed at myself and bit my lip. I took a real deep breath.

“Mister look, I don't know what the deal is but—"

Nagpupumiglas ako ng humigpit ang pagkakahawak nito sa braso ko na nasa taas na ng ulo niya ngayon.

Napalunok ako at hindi magawang muling kumilos o magpupumiglas dahil sobrang lapit ng muka nito sa kaniya. If I move my face a bit he will end up kissing me.

“Can y-you move a b-bit, you're t-too close kasi..” Nauutal na sabi ko habang pilit na itinutulak siya, para kunwari ayaw ko

I bit my lower lip. “So what ba kasi? Ano bang paki mo honestly? You’re quite getting scary na, so please j-just..”

I can no longer continue what I wanted to say when his face crouched on my neck. I could feel a sensation on my neck and bad news, it’s my weakest part.

I moaned, my eyes widened and I immediately closed my lips and covered my mouth. I heard him laughing, and god lord his voice is sexy!

Malandi na kung malandi, but girl he’s handsome. Feeling ko triple na yung beat ng heart ko. Is it even normal?! Mamatay na ba ako? What about my plan na paglaruan siya?! Sayang, omg!

Huminga ako ng malalim bago pumikit ng mariin. Dying early without getting this handsome is a waste.

So I would conduct my research on him when I come home, secret agent kaya ‘to. Kapag handsome lang, pero ‘pag hindi, nevermind.

I’m gorgeous kaya, that's why hindi dapat bumaba ang standard ng mga goddess na katulad ko sa mga hampas-lupang mga lalaki.

“Don’t flirt with my friends.”

Kumunot ang noo ko. “Why do you care if I flirt with them? Ikaw ba yung nilalandi ko?”

I crossed my arm so my boobs got emphasized. Tumaas ang kilay nito at bahagyang bumaba ang tingin bago nag-angat sa kaniya ang tingin. Kunwari pa gusto ‘rin naman pala.

Napatili ako ng suntukin niya ang pader. My eyes widened, I gulped and secretly trembled in fear.

Nakakatakot siya for real, but I think that punch added my fantasy to him. Baka kailangan ko na rin ng chrck up from a psychologist?

I've been living in the men’s field, I play them as much as how they played women. But this guy in front of him.. he’s too handsome, I mean sayang naman if one week lang right?

He can be useful for five months I guess?

Pero sa ugali niya, kailangan ko maging strong na woman para maituloy ko ang plano ko na akitin siya.

His quite scary type kasi, medyo strict din siya yung titignan since his eyes are a bit sharp. Yung parang ikaw yung maghahamon pero ikaw din yung tatakbo sa uri ng tingin na ibibigay niya sayo.

And, true naman kasi na siya ba yung nilalandi ko? It’shis friend naman ah, not him. At tsaka mind his own business, hindi niya ba alam ang saying na ‘yon.

Mag-reklamo siya kapag siya na anf nilalandi ko, well soon, hindi na siya makapag-wait? gagawin ko rin ‘yon sa kaniya e.

Medyo palilipasin ko muna ng ilang araw para mag brain storm ng plan on how to get him.

I smirked.

Operation: seducing the greek god handsomely man.

Pero napatigil ako ng may biglang pumasok sa isip ko. He was mad because I was flirting with his friends. Is he perhaps jealous?

I grin. “Are you jealous?”

His forehead furrowed. “What the fuck? Where did you get that idea?” Asik nito.

Napanguso nalang ako. Hindi ko ‘din alam obviously, basta nalang pumasok sa utak. Well, ganito talaga kapag brainy.

I shrugged.

“Don’t know.” Sabi ko.

Napansin ko na sobrang lapit niya pa din at naamoy ko ang mentol niyang hininga. Bahagya ko siyang itinulak para magkaroon kami ng kaunting space.

“I am serious, don’t even think of flirting with them.”

Napangisi ako. Is he…

“Bakla ka ‘no?” Naghihinalang sabi ko.

He keeps saying na don’t flirt with his friends. Bakit ba affected siya kung nakikipag-landian ako sa mga friends.

Unang pumasok sa brain ko kanina na siguro nagseselos lang siya sa mga friends niya kasi ang ganda ko tapos na sa mga kaibigan lang niya ang atensyon ko.

But now something comes up with her again na what if bakla siya.

Is he jealous because he wants hid friends only for him?

At saka kung titignan masculine siya for a gay, but come on, there are lots of gay na masculine. Yung hindi talaga halata na gay pala sila.

Baka ganon siya right? May mga feminine kasi na gay, but on the other side there are masculine too.

It’s a massive news, lalo na at handsome siya, I bet he’s famous too with his looks, I’m sure he is.

“What the fuck?!” He exclaimed.

Napatakip ako sa magkabila kong tenga dahil sa pag-sigaw niya. Bakit kailangan sigawan ako?

“What the heck! Why do you need to shout?! You m-moron!” I shouted back.

Akala niya siguro papatalo ako, akala niya ba bingi ako at hindi ko naririnig ang sinasabi niya para sigawan ako.

Kahit siya pa ang bagong traget ko, hindi ako papayag na basta nalang niya akong sigawan. Pinaghirapan akong buuin ng mommy at daddy ko, tapos sisigawan niya lang ako?

Cursed him! fuck him—oh nevermind, I differently will.

“If you want to fuck, fuck anyone not my friend, I don’t want you to inflict them disease.”

Parang may tumusok na karayom sa puso ko, pero hindi ko pinahalata instead I smirked. Why do I feel hurt? I’ve been used to it, pero bakit kapag galing sa kaniya nasasaktan ako?

May kung anong mabigat na bumara sa lalamunan ko. Kumunot ang noo ko at pinigilan ang sariling mangilid ang luha.

What is this? Why do I feel hurt, dapat sanay na ako e, hindi lang naman siya ang nagsabi niyan sa kaniya pero bakit masakit?

I took a deep breath. Pag ako nainis sa lalaking to masasampal ko talaga ‘to, the worst I would file a case.

Sa inis ko tinulak ko siya, halata naman na nagpaubaya ito dahil kahit nga siguro sipain ko siya hindi siya basta nalang matutumba. Humakbang ako at tinalikuran siya.

Ayoko na makita ako ng kahit sino na mahina, umiiyak, at higit sa lahat nagpapatalo sa mga masasakit na salita. I’m stronger than this. Hindi nila deserves ang luha ko.

Lumunok ako at pinakawalan ang mabigat na hangin sa dibdib ko. I fake a laugh and wipe the tears at the corner of my eyes.

“This is ridiculous!” mangha kong sabi habang nakataas ang dalawang kamay bago tumawa ng malakas.

I grinned. “You know what, you’re funny pala no?” bago siya tumawa muli.

Wala siyang natanggap na kahit ano mula dito. At wala akong paki sa mga sasabihin niya, mas malala pa ‘nga ang sinasabi ng iba sa kaniya. Kaya bakit siya maapektuhan, right?

“You know what, this is why I hate men.” I said, and fake a smile.

“It’s easy for you guys to say a woman is a slut but aren’t you one too? Like you fuck women everyday, para na ngang damit kung mag-palit kayo ng girls e. But you heard something from us calling you names? None right?”

“If you think I’m trash aren’t you? Come on, you fuck girls too like a playboy right? You call me bitch, whore, slut? E ikaw ba, what do you call yourself? A bastard, or a man whore?” hindi ko alam kung bakit ko sinasabi sa kaniya ang mga ‘to. Pero hinyaan ko lang ang sarili ko dahil naiinis na talaga ako sa kaniya.

“Sure—” I cut him off.

“Yeah, yeah! I know! Okay if you want me to avoid your friends I will, but in one condition,” a smirked was plastered on her plump lips.

“Wala na kayang libre ngayon,” pag-irap ko.

“Do you think I will let you play me?” Malamig na aniya.

“I know you will, you like games right?” I grinned, shrugging my shoulder.

“Playing games huh,” he said, smirking.

Maarte kong tinakpan ang bibig ko at mahinang mapanguyam na humagikhi, “you already know what it is right… mr. playboy?”

He smirked coldly. “well I dont.” He shrugged.

My mouth formed an ‘o’ I playfully cover my mouth. “really?” mapag-laro kong tanong. “cause I heard that you got three fuck buddies.”

Well that’s a lie, wala naman akong naririnig na chismis na may three fuck buddies siya. I just need to make up something since I'm taunting him.

“Well I also heard that you’re a social climb—” I cut him off.

Her jaw clenched. “Shut up! You don’t know me!” naiinis akong umirap sa kaniya.

“And you don’t know who I am too,” ngumisi lamang ako sa sinabi niya.

“Then starting today I’ll get to know you, gusto mo i-follow pa kita sa i*******m, or f******k” I smile naughtily.
