He's Mine

[04]

*CJ's P.O.V.*

I was mad at what's happening, I shouldn't have picked her over Grace. Freshman Year pa lang sigurado na ako na siya, ang tanga ko lang kasi pinag sabay ko sila. I didn't want that but I didn't have any choice. Because my family and Alliana's have thing that I won't ever understand. It won't be easy fighting what's for me.

I arrived at her condo, 25 minutes away from mine. I knocked three times when she finally opened it. "Why are you here?" I didn't answer her question but I pushed her so that I can get in and kissed her, but she then pushed me away from her lips. Pinunasan niya yung labi niya at inalis yung lipstick na kumalat. She looked at me smiling, then she did wipe my lips guessing that I had lipstick all over my lips.

"That was quick, ilang minuto pa lang bumigay ka na? Kaso parang mahihirapan akong maging legal sikat ka na eh." She said then walked away from me, na sinundan ko kung saan napadpad kami sa kusina niya. "Do you want wine?" Tanong niya na tinanguan ko, I don't know why I couldn't talk. Maybe because I was shocked at what I did, but I liked it.

"Kailan ka pa nakabalik?" Tanong ko sa kaniya. "Last week pa, ngayon lang kasi day off ko sa trabaho." Sagot niya na ikinagulat ko. "Akala ko sa USA ka nag work, bakit dito na?"

"I requested a transfer, mas gugustuhin ko mag alaga ng mga bata rito sa pilipinas kesa sa america." That's when it hits me, I remember what her job is. She is one of the youngest doctor na sikat sa pilipinas, specially doctor of kids. "Hindi ko man magawang isalba ang buhay ng anak na nawala ko, masasalba ko naman ang anak ng iba." Pag sasalita niya habang binibigay yung baso ng wine.

Nilagok ko yung inabot niya sa akin, maybe dahil kinakabahan ako. I needed boost of courage, kaya ko nilagok iyon. "In case you're not updated with my life I'm a professional basketball player na." Sabi ko sa kaniya na tinawanan naman ako. "I'm updated with your life CJ, I watch news. Kaya nga alam ko na may issue na kumakalat about us having a past."

She kept drinking the wine and she looked at me with sadness on her eyes. "If hindi siguro nalaglag baby natin, ang ganda ng buhay namin. Tangina ayus lang sa akin kung hindi mo kami tanggapin eh pero tanggap mo naman the problem is nawala ng dahil sa legal mong girlfriend." I know she's drunk and I understand why she's getting wasted. "I just wanted a happy life CJ. Kaso kinuha niya yun, ngayon kukunin ko lang kung ano ang akin." I never saw this part of her, she's not the Grace I knew. Sino ang pakikinggan ko? Alam kong gusto ko si Grace pero paano kung wala talagang kasalanan si Alliana?

"Hey baby, stop drinking na. Akin na yan" pag agaw ko sa bote ng wine na malapit na maubos. "We can still make a baby if that's what you want." Tumawa siya sa sinabi ko at tumayo pero muntik na siya matumba. "CJ, if you want a baby with me end things with Alliana. Face the consequences of you loving me. Ayaw ko maging kabit, ayaw ko na maulit uli ang nangyari dati." Nung sinabi niya iyon ay bumagsak siya buti na lang at nasalo ko siya.
