DRAMA QUEEN

CONTINUATION

"Hi, is it okay if maki table kami?" Francine asked while smiling widely. She's looking at Takeo and Takeo looked at me. I raised my eyebrow at him.

What am I supposed to do? I can't see any disapproval in Dwayne's eye. Ang complicated naman ng set up nila. Paoayag ba ako?

I looked at Dwayne's expression if he agrees with her decision but he is not looking at me anymore. He is already looking outside the glass window.

Whatever, bahala na si batman. Wala silang karapatang magalit sa akin.

"Yup, t's okay. No problem...I think?" I said. Umurong ako sa pinaka dulo para maka upo si francine but I was shocked when she pushed Dwayne towards me.

Hindi naman iyon kalakasan sakto lang para mapaupo si Dwayne.

Weird, now how are we going to talk to each other? Bakit kasi kailangan niya pa itulak si Dwayne? May saltik ba siya sa utak?

"Hi, I'm Francine and you?" Francine asked Takeo and asked for a shake hands.

"Why did you bring your date at our table?" Takeo asked without thinking twice. His eyes are still looking at me intently. And he's annoyed, I can feel it. "Hindi ba kayo marunong maki-ramdan?"

See? I told you.

I raised my eye brow, because he's looking at me kanina pa. Did I do something wrong? Tsaka ako ba kausal niya o si Francine?

"But, Sabrina said that it's okay a-also they know each other so it's not a big deal. They can talk and wecan talk." She said while looking at Takeo.

"Did you even asked for my permission?" He asked while raising his brow. "We're also on a date, you see?" He added.

"Then we can call it double date right, Sabrina?" Francine said. She sound like she is asking for my approval.

Huh, of course I won't answer. I noticed that Dwayne type on his phone then suddenly my phone vibrated.

He texted me. What is he going to say?

Dwayne

Sorry sa abala, Sabrina.

Francine insisted that we should join you two.

But I know her reason, she doesn't want to have a date with me.

Napipilitan lang siya

Wait, he called me rina yesteday evening right? Or I am drunk kaya hindi ko narinig yung sab dahil sa hilo? Whatever it is, whatever.

Sabrina

What should I do then?

I just can't shooed the both of you away.

I'm not like that.

Dwayne

I want to help you but it hurts.

Sabrina

It's okay, I'll find way.

Dwayne

I just want to get drunk.

Sabrina

Please, 'wag mo na akong ayain uminom. Doon ka sa kaibigan mo mag aya.

After that text with Dwayne I looked at Takeo with meaningful look and nodded at him.

He raise his eyebrow. 'Di niya siguro gets meaning ng pag nod ko. Sino ba naman makaka gets doon.

Sabrina

Eugenia, I need you.

Call me please.

After that text I receive a call from her.

"Sagutin ko lang." I said and excused myself.

"Are you okay, Sabrina?" She asked.

"Yes, I just need a reason to excuse myself. Bigla kasing lumapit sa table namin si Dwayne and Francine and ask if pwede sila mag join and I answered yes. Suddenly, Takeo is being rude towards Francine. So I need a reason to leave this place. That's why I called you. That's all, thanks for calling me." I ended the call and went to our table.

Francine is trying to talk to Takeo but Takeo doesn't even looked at her. "I'm sorry Francine. We have an emergency, mauna na kami ni Takeo. Kailangan kasama ko siya eh, bye!" I said at her and bid my goodbye.

Binayaran ko naman yung tira namin ni Takeo bago tuluyang umalis.

"What's with that girl? She's annoying and parang linta. I can't imagine having a girlfriend tapos kung maka dikit sa ibang lalaki para siyang single." Takeo said while his forehead furrowed.

"What do you mean?" I asked as if I don't have a clue about what's happening earlier.

"Why does she behave like...that guy is just a no one to her?" He asked. I can feel his curiousity firing up. "As a guy, I know how it feels." He suddenly said. Yung boses niya parang may hidden meaning.

Mukhang may pinagdaanan din siya ah. May meaning eh. Ma chismis nga siya sa susunod.

"May pagka chismoso ka rin pala. That guy has a name, he's Dwayne Dela Cruz." I said. He nodded at me and opened the door for me. "Thanks," I said and seated properly.

"He asked for my help para mapasagot si Francine. We have a deal na I can ask him whatever I want pero hindi ko pa nagagamit. Anyway, Dwayne like Francine so much. I envy Francine tapos gano'n lang ginagawa niya sa taong nag mamahal sa kaniya. Ugh, I can't believe her " I said and sigh.

"Oh wait, parang may mali sa sinabi ko. I envy Francine not because Dwayne likes her. I envy Francine because someone like her and making efforts for her." I said and nodded my head. I don't want to be misunderstood by others.

Mahirap na at baka mag karoon pa ako ng kaaway.

"You know what? Mas nanghihinayang ako sa food kanina. Unti lang nakain ko, hays. Sayang yund food!" Sabi ko at nag simula na namang hampasin si Takeo.

"It's you fault!" He shouted habang umiilag sa hampas ko. "Ako nilibre mo pero ikaw lang kumain? Grabe na rin yan."

"It's not my fault! Tingin mo kung hindi kita hinila doon tatantanan ka ni Francine? Hindi, at wala kang pake!" I shouted through his ears.

"Tangina!" He said that made me stop.

Okay, I have no words to say na.

"Sabi ko nga mag shut up na ako. Chapter closed. I hope this finally helps all of us move forward. I won’t be entertaining questions regarding this anymore." I said while looking in front of me.

Ni hindi ako maka galaw dahil sa pag mura niya. Nagulat ako, okay? After the tense silence, Takeo finally talk.

May bibig siya, everyone! Finally!

Finally, after many 'sigh' he finally has the urge to talk. Akala ko mapupuno ng hininga niya yung kotse eh. Hindi pala, buti na lang.

"Sabrina, I didn't mean to curse you. It just slipped out because we are in the middle of the road and your teasing me. Baka mabangga tayo kung oinagpatuloy mo ang pang hahampas sa akin kanina.." He said. His eyes are still focused on the road but he is making sure that he can see my expression.

"Nag sorry ka pa kung maninisi ka lang din." I said as I roll my eyes. "Sana nilunok mo na lang yan."

"I'm genuinely sorry, Sabrina." He said. I can now feel the genuine in his voice.

"Well, an apology won't un-curse me, will it?" I said still looking outside.

I don't really care if he cursed me. He can cursed me every time he want. I just want drama, boring eh. Syempre I'm not a drama queen for nothing.

The cure in my boring life is him, my bodyguard.

"What do you want?" He glanced at me and asked.

Oh no, Sabrina. Don't fall for his trap. It's a bait to lure my intensions! That won't happen, I will never make it happen. It's a no, no, no.

Pero yung chance kasi. Sayang hehe, pag trip-an ko kaya siya?

Hmm, It's either I'll grab the chance or lose the opportunity. Kaya i-grab ko na lang .

"Buy me the prada small re-nylon padded shoulder bag." I said and smirked at him.

I can afford that but of course mas may kailangan ng pera ko and that is 'need'. Tama? Tama. May time para sa wants. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA kasalanan mo yan, Takeo.

He just shrugged and answered "okay".

What the hell? May pera ba siya na gano'n kalaki? Hello, bodyguard ko siya tapos mas afford niya pa yung prada kesa sa akin?! Excuse me?

"What do you mean by 'okay'?" I asked but he didn't answer me at pumasok na sa apartment.

Nevermind. I'll rest na lang. Let's call this a day everyone!

I don't know if Eugenia is home already but I know Takeo will take care of her kapag wala pa siya. Nasa galaan pa siguro si Eugenia. I'm still nag tatampo pa rin. Sana suyuin niya ako bukas, or else..
