Owning My Ex (Published)

Epilogue

"Ready man?" As my eyes drifted to Jhanzen, I smirked at him before getting another shot.

"Which one?"

"That morena chic, fuck her for 10 minutes." itinuro niya 'yong babaeng parang kinapos sa tela kaya mahina akong natawa at uminom. That was so fucking easy for me.

"How much?" Walang ganang tanong ko. Balewala para sa amin kung magkano ang ipupusta, what matters is the consequence kasi alam ng bawat isa, na hindi 'yon madali.

"If you make it, we'll pay you 1.5 million each, of course, and if not, you'll face the consequence." Tumango tango ako at nagsihiyawan ang iba ko pang mga kaibigan. Isang shot pa at tuluyan na akong lumapit sa babaeng halatang halata na kanina pa nakatingin sa akin.

Mabilis ko siyang inakbayan at nilapit sa kaniyang tenga ang mga labi ko bago bumulong.

"Hey, you want to have some fun tonight?" Naramdaman ko agad na gusto niya, kaya mas lalo akong nawalan ng gana. My eyes drifted somewhere and settled on a woman, crying.

Napailingiling ako at binitawan na ang babaeng inakbayan saka bumalik sa mga kaibigang nakakanganga.

"Hey man usapan, ikama mo hindi akbayan." Sabi ni Won.

"I lost my interest. I'll take the consequences." Nagkatinginan sila ni Jhanzen bago nila ako inakbayan.

"See the girl crying?" Bulong ni Rookie and my body tensed.

"That's Amanda Schneider, marami ang galit d'yan. . .and I hate her." Galit na sabi ni Rookie.

"So?"

"Kiss her, stick around her, and destroy her. Pretend, you're a good guy." Nanlaki ang mata ko sa sinabi niya.

"Are you serious?" Seryoso ang mukha nito, kaya alam kong hindi talaga siya nagbibiro.

"Yes man, so do it." And I did. It was supposed to be just for fun, but the next time we met, I knew it was different, at least for me.

"Gusto mo bang sabayan kita kumain?" Nilingon niya ako at lihim akong napangiti ng umirap siya.

"I don't need your company." Napayuko ako para hindi niya makita ang tuluyan kong pag-ngiti.

"Hindi ka ba pagagalitan? Bumalik ka na roon! I don't need you."

I own this cafe, for fuck's sake! Halatang disappointed siya pero hindi ko iyon pinansin.

"He's the same guy who dragged you away last night. You love him right?"

"Who the hell are you to talk to me like that?! Get the fuck out of my sight! I don't fucking need you, loser! " hindi ako na-offend sa sinabi niya, I even bite the insides of my cheek to stop myself from smiling. She's interesting, dude, she's just actually my type.
