"Are you planning to leave the house?" I stepped forward and glanced at her luggage before shifting back my gaze at her. 

I am angry at my Mom and Dad and there is no doubt about that. They hurt and disappointed me. That is what is etched on my mind right now but I just can't ignore the fact that the queen of this mansion is already leaving. Not because my Dad cheated or they will soon be divorced but because my mother wants to live with someone else already. 

Mom is leaving for a new man, Dad will soon let the Marquezes live here, making me squeeze with nowhere but my room. 

She gave me an awkward, forced smile. "Ah...about that..." 

Mom cocked her head to the side and avoided my gaze. She removes her hand on the luggage and hid i

    People will really deceive you. How many times did I say this?

    "Farrah, let's go!" Uno's deep voice thundered. He eyed the bartender with his sharp orbs and reached for my arm which I immediately wiggled for him to remove it."Let go of me! What do you think you are thinking?!" I yelled and attended to the man lying on the floor. I pulled him up and checked his face. He had blood rolling down the side of his lips. The man loosened his tie and unbuttoned two buttons of his polo. He's still wearing his suit but his hair was disheveled."What the hell are you thinking?!" I angrily shouted at him, my drunk ass already vanished as fury surged up in me. Dylan, who's now sitting and wiping the blood using his thumb tried to stand up."Dylan I'm sorry I didn't know—""No, it's okay. Your boyfriend is here, I think

    "What?" Uno stepped forward. His lips pursed in a grim line as he tilted his head and eyed me with his sharp, deadly eyes."Pardon, Farrah but I think I heard you—""No, Uno. You heard it right," I breathed and bowed my head to avoid his gaze."I don't want you anymore..." I repeated. I licked my lips like I am marinating the lies I will utter after this."I don't want you anymore, so can you now leave me alone?" I lifted my face and glanced at him with firmness in my eyes. My heart is hammering loudly like it wants to burst out of my ribcage.Uno's eyes were still dark and he remained silent. He just stared at me for seconds."Y

    Chapter 33:"The heck girl? You really did that?" Vanessa furrowed her plucked brown eyebrows and showed me a disgusted look. "You are a really horrible dog, Farrah."I rolled my eyes and whirled around to face the wall of my room. I pulled the blanket up and covered my body up to my shoulders, hiding from the cold air blown by the air conditioner of my empty, lonely room.It was three days after that heart wrecking scene I had with Uno but it was still etched on my mind in a crystal clear. His tears, his sorrowful eyes, and his shrunk shoulders. His desperate begs and repeated blabbers that I love him.I heaved a deep, long sigh and shut my eyes close. Please, go out of my mind already!Vanessa's hand pulled my blanket out which ma

    Funny how a man will tell you they love you and will wait for you even if it takes a lifetime and then goes out with another woman the day after he said it.They will buy you flowers, take care of you when you are sick, cook you healthy foods, fetch you, and then...they will vanish like a ghost. I know it's a bit famous for teenagers right now but heck, I didn't know I will go through it! I didn't know Uno is the type of person who will go with another girl when he lost his chance and that is so annoying!But come to think of it, Farrah. You fucking asked and begged him to leave you so why make a fuss about it?I was about to take a step back and turn my heels to go back to where Vanessa is when my pride talked inside. Why would I back out after blabbering shits? I internally rolled my eyes and stopped myself from slapping my cheeks.

    I hate it. I really hate how Uno can hurt me and at the same time make my heart flutter. The man who made me sleepless for days is also the same man who runs in my mind right now, in the middle of the night where I should be sleeping soundly!It's been days since I last saw him, and as usual, I locked myself up. Of course, I don't have a face to show him when he clearly humiliated me the last time I saw him! Those bags aren't for Aliya but for me...and I hate how he looked so triumphant when he saw me startled!I put a pillow on top of my face and groaned as I roll my body. I put my feet at the wall of my room, making me lay in the middle of the bed horizontally. I glanced at the ceiling and gawked for minutes with all the things running in my mind.Uno didn't fail to call me after that scene. It was crazy! I mean, he will always call telling me if I already ate or did I sleep well, anything that annoys the hell out of me to the point of not answering any of his

    The thing I am really sure of? I am poor and I need money to pay for our debts. My idiotic hell of a father did not do the right things and made himself a fool which led us to be chased by loan sharks.Seven years ago, when I chose to build my guard up and pushed all the people that I love away from me, the only thing that mattered the most is money. I have been so dependent on the comfort that my riches have given me that I already forgot that it runs out when you use it excessively.I partied all night, drank as hard as I could, and go home with nothing but a Farrah who will puke at her bathroom and then go out without her pumps and lay against the white, soft sheets of her bed. Sleep soundly that midnight and then wake up at lunch the next day, eat alone, and then plan for another night bar hopping.I completely go back to my old life, putting aside everything that has happened to me. Every time I am in a loud, crowded place, I somehow forgot all the things t

    My mouth was left wide open when I heard the man's reply. His face screamed arrogance with his neatly done hair, sharp eyes, thick brows, and lips curved in a proud smirk. His glasses reflected a combination of green and violet lights when the fluorescent light struck in as he stared at me behind his glasses."What the fuck? Are you insane?" The chair made a loud thud as it crashed against the floor when I stood in a haste. I put my hands at the side of my waist and rolled my eyes."You really want to marry me?" I darted my sharp eyes at him. My lips pursed in a grim line. He shrugged and smirked more which only pissed me off more."Why did you sound so disappointed? You thought I'll never agree?" He chuckled shortly and lingered his eyes on the paper, his forearm placed on top of the armrest, then he shifted his gaze on me and arched a brow."You are unbelievable! Don't you have a girlfriend?" I angrily asked and threw him daggers."I didn't know

She whispered.

    "I told myself I will take this slow but this girl is impatient." I murmured when she asked about what I am doing. I have been purposely following her around, sometimes she doesn't notice it, but she did when I came inside the new coffee shop near their place."Uno, what are you really up to? I know how it hurts to see me. I know how hard it is to have lunch with me or even share a table while sipping coffee, so why are you doing this? I thought you don't want to see me because you are being reminded of our child? I am doing everything to give you time, but why are you making me confuse? Why are you giving me hope?""I am here because I still couldn't admit to myself that I no longer love you.

    She knows I love her that much that's why she is not worried g about being left behind nor think of what I would feel.That was what I realized after spending time inside my room without having to answer her calls and texts. It may look and sound like a gay, but I really hate how she can make me cry.When I came to school and talked with the juniors, she suddenly showed herself and looks like she will talk to me so I marched as fast as I could–not wanting to talk to her.

    Farrah.That was her name.With her black hair, brownish-red lipsticks, artificial curls, and narrow nose, she got me. I know from that day that I like her. This was the first time that I felt this kind of attraction.I normally have crushes on celebrities and artists, some from my past school but with Farrah, it was different. I spent some months just watching her and occasionally approached her. May it be for a small pageant she won, a contest whom she said she doesn't like but is competitive enough to win and her birthday. I will sometimes greet her every time we will see each other, but I just found that a bit weird so I stopped myself from doing it and just smile when our eyes will meet.Until I no longer like how boys hold him. She was a boy magnet! Every boy from the hallway would always turn their heads the moment she walks in the middle like a ramp model!
