"What? Don't hate me too much for keeping her from you!"
Kanina pa ako naglalabas ng sama ng loob at panay ang tingin nang masama kay Nigel. He doesn't have the right to be mad at me, he hurt me before and it's really painful to know that the person you trust the most lie to you.
"What? Say something, Nigel!" I said in annoyance.
He was just plain, platonic and unreadable. I can't sense any emotions, anger, sadness, or even pain. He's just driving me away from the party, driving and going nowhere. Ugh.
Sa inis ko, hinyaan ko nalang siyang mag-drive kung saan niya gusto. I was just looking straight at the road, not minding what is he thinking at the moment until we reached his condo, I guess?
"Hindi ka ba talaga magsasalita?!" inis na inis na sambit ko sakanya.
He just keeps walking as he tightly grips my hand to his unit. He opened it, and pushed me inside and take off his necktie and unbuttoned his white dress shirt that made me looked away.
"Oh my god!!" I shouted in shock. What the hell is he thinking? Just because we have a daughter, that means we can make another one and we're okay?! Hell no.
He chuckled. "Kalma, nagpapalit lang ako ng pambahay."
"Sa harap ko?!!" gigil na sambit ko sakanya habang nakatalikod parin. Tangina, wala bang aircon dito? Napaka-init.
I wait for him to finish changing clothes before I faced him and slapped him hard. "Ouch! What was that for?" he was caressing his face after I slapped him pretty hard.
"That's for fucking giving me a heart attack!" I shouted.
He chuckled. "Nag-palit lang ako, kinabahan ka na. Pano pa kaya pag-naghubad talaga ako sa harap mo, baka kabahan ka lalo."
I raised my middle finger. "Ikaw ang kabahan kapag binanatan na kita,"
He laid down himself to his sofa, like he's really tired. Inis ko siyang inirapan at nagpapadyak nalang sa inis, hindi ako makaalis at makalabas dahil iniharang niya ang refrigerator sa may pinto. How the hell did he push that big thing to the door??
"Just sit down and talk to me," he blurted, closing his eyes.
I pursed my lips, restraining not to burst in fury. "I was asking the same thing earlier, remember? Pero hindi ka makausap na tangina ka," I brittly cursed.
"Lutong naman 'non," he even joked at me, like I'm still playing around.
"Nigel!" inis na sigaw ko.
He arched his brows. "What?"
