Chapter 5

Five.

This is not my first time to attend a party, but this is the first time I attended this freakingly annoying 'OLDY PARTY'. It's so grossy! Nakakastress! The party seems like a meet and greet of Oldies! Totally prick! I can't stop frowning as I roam around my eyes.

"Is this really a party?" I asked Kuya Jam who is wearing a very formal suit, but it totally suit him. He looks like a prince who lose his princess.

"Uhm. I guess," simpleng sagot niya na kung hindi ko talaga siya kilala mapagkakamalan kong anti-social din siya. May mga kaedad naman kami kaya lang mas marami talaga ang oldies. Ugh. As usual! Ako na naman ang pinakamaganda!

Hindi ko maiwang mapangisi habang nagtitinginan ang mga tao sa amin. O well! Mukhang ako lang ata ang hinihintay nilang makita. I confidently smile as we both walks on the red carpet. The invitation looks very fancy and sophisticated but the party is awfully disgusting.

"Mr. and Mrs. Luivega, good evening," magalang na bati ni Kuya Jam, nag shake hands pa sila ni Mr. Luivega, he looks intimidating. Binalingan niya ako ng tingin. I didn’t know kung nahalata sila na nagulat ako.

"Happy Birthday po," muling sabi ni Kuya Jam kaya nakigaya na rin ako.

Parang gusto ko na lang umuwi. This is so damn boring. I can't stand the atmosphere.

"This must be the youngest Cassidy. Hi hija." Binalingan ako ng tingin ni Mrs. Luivega saka niya ako nilapitan at saglit na niyakap. How could she be this beautiful at the age of 50? O freaking come on! I maybe look like her too in the future.  "You're so gorgeous." Hawak hawak niya ang kamay ko at mukhang wala siyang balak bitawan ito. "You're fabulous!" tuwang tuwa na sabi niya ng mapasadahan ang suot ko.

I don't want to sound rude and ruin her day, so I just faked a smile.

"You're beautiful than me.... po." Narinig ko ang bahagyang pagtawa ni Kuya Jam sa tabi ko. Sasamaan ko sana siya ng tingin kaya lang naalala ko ang paalala ni matandang pabibo na talagang bibilhan ko ng death insurance kapag may chance ako.

"You must be Damian's daughter," ani Mr. Luivega na matamang nakatingin sa akin. Sadly. But wait! I saw that eyes before — where? "How's your father, Hija?" Natigil ako sa pag iisip ng tanungin niya ako.

I don't want to talk about him, but fine. "I think he's fine living his life off," I answered still faking a smile.

Hindi rin nagtagal ang batian na nauwi sa business talks and stuffs. Naiwan si Kuya Jam kay Mr. Luivega at inalok naman ako ni Mrs. Luivega na sumama sa kanya dahil ipapakilala raw niya ako sa mga amiga niya. O freaking geez! I'm not born pretty gorgeous to meet an oldy pricks! Tatanggi sana ako kaya lang sa tuwing gagawin ko iyon naririnig ko ang pagbabanta ni Oldy. I'm getting piss na here! Buti pa si Kuya Jam mukhang nag e-enjoy.

Boring! "Excuse me Tita. Comfort room," paalam ko.

"I'll accompany you." Tumayo pa ito.

No thanks. "Don't bother po." I just want to get out of this hell! Nakakainis! So stressful!

"You sure?" Tumango ako bilang sagot.

"Mom, Kuya isn't here yet." May lumapit kay Tita Charmaine na isang batang babae.

"Rion, have you check his suite?" tanong niya sa nakasunod na  — Rion? Sounds familiar! Where did I heard that name before? Where? Freakingly! Why do my brain cells aren't working diligently?

"Mom, if that jerk isn't here, as usual he's not in his suite also," she said as she rolled her eyes. "Yuri, let's go. My friends are waiting," she rudely added. She seems pissed too. Tinignan niya lang ako saglit.

"Anyway, these are my daughters Rion Delle and Yuri Rene. Girls this is Moon Dashelle Cassidy."

"Hi ate." Nakangiting kumaway ang batang babae sa akin. "You're so pretty."

"I know her. She's the bitch Cassidy."

"Delle!" ani Tita. I shrugged my shoulder.

"Everyone calls her like that," bored na sabi niya.

My brow arched. Have I met this petty creature before? Argh. Sucks brain cells.

"Apologize to her now. Stop being a rude brat. Don't you have manners?" Pero hindi siya pinansin ito sa halip ay tinalikuran na lang niya kami.

"That brat. Sorry about that hija." Tita gave me a consoling smile.

"It's okay tita. Excuse me for a while."

Freakingly annoying! Where did I heard that name before? Rion Delle. Rion Delle. Rion Delle. I'm playing  my lower lip with my thumb and index finger while walking, thinking about where I heard that name. I stopped from walking and intently close my eyes to think.

"Miss, are you lost?"

Slowly. I opened my eyes and raised my head. My brows immediately furrowed.

"Ohh! The devil reincarnate. Ang babaeng bukod tanging pinagpala sa lahat," he said while pointing his index finger at me as he laughed as if he saw a joke in front of him. Gago ba ito? Me? Devil reincarnate — he's at it again, that freakingly annoying infamous smirk of his.  "Naliligaw ka?" I rolled my eyes, and didn't bother myself to talk to him.

He's wearing an all black set. Black leather jacket, black pants, cap — o damn! Why am I bothering myself describing him?

Tumuloy ako sa paglalakad at hindi siya pinansin.

"Ganda ng suot natin. Sana damit ka na lang para— O damn." D*****g ito ng dumapo ang kamao ko sa tiyan niya. I glared at him who is also glaring at me. "Apaka-amazona! Ang sakit no'n! Ikaw kaya suntukin ko," reklamo niya saka niya ako inambaan pero hindi ako nagpatinag.

Doh? Ako si Moon Dashelle matitinag sa tukmol na ito? Edi magsuntukan kami if ever! Aburido itong tumingin sa akin. Nagulo niya pa ang gulo-gulo niyang buhok. Feeling frustrated!

"Kung 'di ka lang talaga maganda ngayon kahit babae ka pa susuntukin kita." I rolled my eyes.

Napakawalang sense talaga kausap nito. I was about to walk away ng may naisip ako — "Where's the comfort room, by the way?" I asked.

"Ewan,"  walang modong sagot niya, nakahawak pa  ang dalawang palad niya sa likod ng ulo niya ng talikuran niya ako.

I bit my lower lip. "I freakingly need a help right now," I enunciated.

He stopped. Muli niya akong tinignan. I did act helplessly. Siguro naman effective. His finger is playing with his lips while staring at me coolly. "My suite is nearer."

I scoffed when he suddenly speaks english. And wait what did he say? Suite? I raised a brow.

"Are you saying that instead I go to comfort room I just go to your suite because it's nearer?" I crossed my arms.

"Ayaw mo? Edi bahala ka sa buhay mo." Muli niya akong tinalikuran

"Wait! Okay fine," suko ko. "In one condition."

His brows  furrowed.

"You see, alam kong napakaganda ko at lahat talaga ng mga lalakeng makakakita sa akin pagkakaguluhan ako. Sa ganda ko ba naman ito—." I wasn't able to finish my sentence when he suddenly laughed.

"Tingin mo naman isa ako sa papatol sa iyo? Asa ka dude! Mataas standard ko, hindi mo kayang i-reach," aniya na may mukhang nandidiri pa. Iniinsulto ba ako nito? Sa mukha niyang 'yan ang lakas niyang insultuhin ako? "My standard in terms of girls are high." He tapped my shoulder and smirk. "You can't relate," he added with  playful smile.

It's deja vu! Inaasar ba ako nito? That's my line! I just took a deep breath to calm my nerves. He is indeed so annoying.

So we went to his suite. When he said nearer, he's not lying. Binagsak niya ang katawan niya sa sofa. Hindi na ako nagulat sa suite na pinagmamalaki niya kanina ng naglalakad kami. He's a Luivega after all.

"So where's the comfort room," aburiong tanong ko sa sleazy na basta niya na lang akong iniwang nakatayo.

"The comfort room is in my room, that door." Tinignan ko ang itinuro niyang pintuan — ni hindi man lang niya ito binalingan ng tingin nang itiro niya ito. I rolled my eyes and headed my way to the door he pointed. I opened the door immediately.

"More. I want more!"

But I froze for a couple of seconds dahil isang malaswang kaganapan ang bumungad sa akin! I couldn't move my feet all of a sudden.

"More. Ah!"

What the freak?

"Girl, close the door."

I flinched when they both diverted their eyes at me, still doing disgusting thing in front of me. I can't move my feet. O freakingly disgusting! What is this erotic scene? My innocent eyes!

"That's not — Shit Hans!" sigaw ni Luivega saka niya ako hinila paharap sa kanya upang takpan ang mga mata ko — but it's too late! I already witnessed a disgusting thing. 

Luivega closed the door as he guide walk away to that room.

I'm still surprised for what I've seen. "D-Did... D-Did..." My heart is beating so fast. "This is literally grossy!" pagmamaktol ko. Napapadyak pa ako dahil sa frustration. "This is all your fault!" Turo ko sa kanya na mukhang gulat rin.

O well! Sino ba ang hindi magugulat? I just witnessed a live erotic scene! This is so disgusting!

"Bakit kasi doon ka pumunta —."

"BECAUSE YOU TOLD ME SO!" I hysterically exclaimed cutting him off. I swear! This is my worst nightmare ever! It's freakingly grossy! So annoying!

He looks problematic right now. But hell I care! I just can't believe what I saw! Hindi maalis sa isipin ko ang nakita ko. I almost teared up. That position. That moan. That — it's freakingly keeps repeating in my head over and over again. It's so grossy!

"It's just a normal thing for a couple." I glared at him. "Or not," he added as he smiled at me awkwardly.

I bit my lower lip and closed my eyes intently as I keep trying to calm myself. I heaved a sigh.

"This is really annoying," I muttered, still my eyes are closed.

I never wished in my entire life to witness that kind of scene! It's just that — It's gossy!

"WHAT? WHY ARE YOU STARING AT ME LIKE THAT?" I yelled at him when I caught him staring at me. He scratch the back of his head before he turns his back at me.

"Just go inside the cr now, and leave."

I really can't believe this guy! He insisted that I should just go to his suite because it's nearer — then what? Just to act rudely to me? Freakingly annoying! I pressed my nose out of annoyance. Nakakagigil! Naiistress ang kagandahan ko!

I really can't believe this!

"Hoy!"

Napatigil ako sa paglalakad ng tawagin niya ako. Masamang tingin agad ang binaling ko sa kanya na ngayon ay nakapamewang ng nakatingin sa akin.

"I have name, moron." I rolled my eyes once again.

He smiled — but not an annoying one. What's wrong with this guy again? I just shrugged my head and turned my back at him, but I was about to walk when I stopped because of what he said.

"Stop frowning and just forget what you've seen."

I arched a brow at him. "Are you teaching me right now?"

He smirked. "No. I'm educating you."
