Owning My Ex (Published)

22

I was busy checking papers on my table when my phone vibrated. Sa pag-aakalang si Kendrick, 'yon ay wala pang ilang segundo ay nabuksan ko na iyon.

From Hun:

Wanna have lunch with me? Clarisse is busy... kakabalik ko lang. 'Di mo naman siguro tatanggihan ang isang kaibigan 'di ba?

Ngumiti ako at bago magreply ay nag-type muna ako ng text for Kendrick.

To Kdemoño:

Go out for lunch with Clarisse, I'm going with Luhennce. Make sure she won't disturb us.

I commanded him, nag-reply akong sunod kay Luhennce asking him if it was okay na sa unit ko na lang and he agreed. Alam niya ba talagang birthday ng girlfriend niya ngayon?

"Hey, bitch! How's life?" Sab bragged inside my office without even informing me, tama ang hinala ko kung hindi siya may lahing kabote, baka pinaglihi siya sa kabote. "Fine, I'm getting to the climax of my plans, tumatanggap na ako ng maagang pagbati."

Ngumisi ito sa akin bago naupo sa visitor's chair. " Oh no dear, that's not so me! hindi ako basta basta bumabati." Napasimangot ako.

"And why is that bitch? Are you doubting my expertise?" I growled, giving her a dagger look.

"No dear, I am doubting your heart." kumunot ang noo ko ngunit hindi nalang iyon pinansin. I am too excited to be spoiled by her words. "Kamusta puppet mo?" Sumulyap ako sa kaniya at hawak na niya ang phone ko. Wala naman akong pakialam kung ano ang gawin niya roon. Wala naman akong tinatago sa kaniya.

"Magaling siya.." naramdaman ko ang paggalaw niya ng sabihin ko iyon. " saan?" Tumaas ang kilay ko at tiningnan siya.

"Sa pinapagawa ko, he improved a lot." She chuckled, " I thought my iba pa siyang expertise." natatawang sabi nito bago binaba ang phone ko.

"He's a fast learner," humagikhik siya sa sinabi ko kaya napakunot na ulit ang noo ko ng lingunin ko siya, tumigil naman siya agad at tumikhim.

"Wala ba talaga Amanda?" What the hell is she talking about? "What are you saying? anong wala ba?"

"About Kendrick...wala ka bang naramdaman for him?" napatitig ako sa kaniya. She's way too serious to ask me that.

"You know, I've always been in love with Luhennce."

"When Kendrick wasn't still in the picture, yeah you're in love with him."

"He's never been in the picture, Sab, what are you saying?"

"I can see contradiction in your eyes bitch, your eyes saying something that your mouth can't speak about. You could lie to me using your words but don't ever forget, people's eyes speak louder than their mouth."
