The Basketball Player and The Club President

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

KEVIN JOHN'S POV

"I love you.... you know that."

fuck, the scenario and her fucking voice are just kept in my mind. That was already a week ago but I am still convincing myself if it's true.

"Tito-Ninong, can you please tie my hair po?" napatingin ako kay Alexine na nasa tapat ko na ngayon. Binuhat ko ito at pinaka titgan.

"Where is your dad, Alexine?" I ask her.

"Sleep pa po si daddy."

Napa buntong hininga nalang ako sa sinabi ni Alexine... Fuck that Fitz, ang anak niya gising na siya tulog mantika pa... Fitz's Daughter was so much smarter than the average child her age.

"After this, wake him up, okay?" I just saw her nod and I put her down to tie her hair. Dahil nga rin kagigising niya lang ay nagkagulo gulo pa ang buhok niya.

"Thank you, Tito-Ninong." I gave her a smile and she responded with a flying kiss, which made me chuckle. Umalis na din siya at pumunta na sa kwarto ni Fitz samantalang ako ay pumuntang kusina nila.

As soon as I began to cook breakfast, Fitz arrived, still looking sleep-deprived. I looked at him sternly due to his actions; based on his current state, it appeared that he had drunk heavily yesterday.

"Nagpaka lasing ka na naman ba kagabi, Fitz?" I asks him while he was going to ref to get himself a water.

"Kaunti lang ha."

Napabuntong hininga nalang ako sa sinabi niya. There is one time kasi na madaling araw na yata iyon, Alexine called me through Fitz phone, tinawagan ako ng bata dahil lasing na lasing daw si Fitz.

"Stop that already. Kapag ikaw nakita na naman ng anak mo. You are so such bad influence to her dahil sa ginagawa mo." nakita ko siya ngayon sa peripheral vision ko na naka upo na at halatang problemado na naman.

"How stupid am I to think that Alexandra likes me too?"

His great ex-wife Alexandra is the mother of Alexine. The only thing i know about them is that Fitz and his ex-wife were arranged into a married before by their parents.

Ako naman minsan hindi ko magtanim ng sama ng loob kay Alexandra. Hindi ko alam pero nahahawa lang yata ako kay Selene dahil sa malapit siya sa mga bata.

Shit, halos mabatukan ko naman ang sarili ko dahil sa iniisip ko. Tangina, pumunta ka dito kj para huwag nang mag isip mag isa tapos babanggitin mo nalang siya agad agad.

Naaawa lang ako kay Alexine na walang alam sa nangyari sa parents niya. I am aware that she is an intelligent child. She never asks her dad or is impulsive about asking where her mom is.

"and you? How about you? What are you doing here?" he asks me while i am putting the fried rice on a bigger plate.

"Nothing...." pag sisinungaling ko. "I just want to see Alexine. If she is still good in your hand." i sarcastically said to him.

"GOOD Day, sir." pambungad na tawag ni Faye. "May invitation po kayo galing sa isang company..."

"go on... What is that invitation about?"

"It's Charity Auction, sir... The guest are all popular on each industry sir at lahat daw po ng makakalap na pera ay mapupunta sa isang mission na matutulungan ang mga baranggay na hindi naabutan ng tulong."

I was listening attentively during our conversation. She explained everything to me, and I simply stated that the invitation should be sent to my condo.
