Chasing The Badass (Badass Series #3) Complete

EPILOGUE

"Aren't you tired of chasing her? I mean...she's too young for you, Heiz. Minor pa lang siya and...she seems not interested to you."

I shrugged my shoulder and focused on playing my guitar.

"Ikaw na mismo ang nagsabi na tinapon niya ang gift na pinag-ipunan mo, what other things you want to be wasted until you stop? Hindi naman masama ang magkagusto Heiz, pero ang masama iyong hinahabol-habol mo pa rin kahit na alam mong malabong magustuhan ka rin pabalik. And also, ilang taon ka nang nagpapakita ng interes pero wala lang sa kanya."

"I'm not expecting a chance from her, Cat. Pinapakita at pinaparamdam ko lang sa kanya kung ano ang nararamdaman ko, because that's how I wanted to."

Bumuga siya ng hangin at umirap sa akin. She looks like she isn't satisfied to what I've said.

"Ewan ko ba sa 'yo at sa kanya ka pa nahulog. Ang daming nagkakandarapa sa 'yong mga kaedaran ko lang at mga kaedaran mo. Masyado pang bata si Amethyst at mukhang inosente pagdating sa ganito."

I smirked. "She'll turn 16 next year."

"Sixteen!" She exclaimed. "Minorde-edad pa rin!"

I nodded. "I'll wait until she will turn 18, doon ko na siya liligawan."

"Sino?" Singit ni Klaus at tumabi sa akin. He grabbed the bowl of cookies and put it on his lap. "Sinong liligawan mo Kuya?"

I ignored him and continue stramming my guitar.

"Epal ka." Binatukan siya ni Catana. Hindi ko na sila pinansin pa dahil nagfocus na ako sa paggigitara.

She don't like a guy who is older than her. She don't like me. I don't care though, pero sa tuwing lumilitaw ang nakasimangot at seryoso niyang mukha sa isipan ko ay parang gusto ko na lamang siyang ipagdamot gaya kung paano ko ipinagdadamot ang mga bagay na ayokong maagaw ng iba.

"Bakit ka nandito?" She asked me.

I was looking for her because she left our house. Damn.

"I-ikaw? Bakit ka nandito?" I asked her instead.

"Bawal? Wala namang signage ah. At bakit ka ba lumabas pa? Hindi mo ba alam na birthday mo at sa malamang ay hinahanap ka na---" I went to her and put my coat over her shoulder. "What the hell are you doin--"

"Ang ingay mo. I was looking for you, I saw you walked out from the house." I said softly.

Umismid siya at inayos ang coat ko.

"Happy birthday, nagbibirthday ka pala?" She asked sarcastically with a grin on her face.

I raised my brow and shook my head, amused by what she said.

"Yes, of course." I gestured her to sit down on the side of the fountain. She sat down and I followed, a bit far from her. "Ang ganda ng regalo mo. Thank you." I said while smiling a bit. Best gift ever...indeed.

Kumunot ang noo niya. "Regalo? Wala akong regalo sa'yo, I din't know you need one."

"I need a gift from you. And you already gave it. Thank you, Yaz."

She looks confused. I smirked to myself. This innocent girl is really my freaking type...no wonder I fell on her...shit, I admit it! I like her...so fucking much.

"Wala nga. Ang lakas din ng tama mo eh. Hubo't-hubad akong dumating dito tapos aasahan mong may dala akong regalo para sa'yo, ni hindi ko nga alam na ikaw ang may birth-"

"What?" I asked her with my sharped eyes and stern voice. Did she just said she's naked? "Hubo't-hubad, are you serious?"

Tinitigan niya ako ng mabuti bago tumawa. I clenched my jaw and stares at her. Fuck, did she think it's funny?
