The Gay's Kisses (One-off Series #3)

Kiss 2

I DON'T know what urges me to attend his wedding, ayoko naman din kasi maging bitter ng dahil sa damuhong yun.

Nasa labas na ako ng resort, it must be his relative's dahil ka-apelyido nito ang pangalan ng resort. I'll just give myself a time to unwind kahit alam kong anytime ngayon ay makikita ko ang lalaking yun.

"Aray." I squealed. Napahimas ako sa braso ko dahil someone bumped me and it hurts, I checked my arm at agad na may namuong pasa. Perks of having pale skin.

"I'm sorry--" inangat ko ang ulo ko nang magsalita yung bumunggo sa akin and I regretted doing it.

"What the hell? You?!" Lumaki ang mga mata ko, it was him err that gay from last time. Uminit ang pisngi ko nang dumapo yung mga mata ko sa lips niya. I shrugged those thoughts away.

"Uhm, huh? Hi?" I don't know what to do, my heart is beating so fast and I am sweating. Nanlilisik yung mga mata niyang nakatingin sa akin, for the nth time, he is so handsome. Yet, he is gay.

"I loathe you so much since that day, you need to pay for it---"

"Hello, Franny girl. Oh, my dear Zely. Pumunta ka," and I received a hug from Kiana, Kian's sister. She's the main reason why I decided to attend here, we became friends kahit nung hindi pa kami ng kuya niya.

"Magkakilala kayo?"

"No," sabay naming sigaw.

"Okay, let me introduce you to each other. So, Franny girl, this is Zely, my friend and the ex-girlfriend of my jerk brother. Zely, this is Francis, my----"

"As if I care, I gotta go. See you around, Nana," and he walked away. He pisses me off.

FOR all of the places, dito pa talaga sa resort ng pamilya ko makikita ang pagmumukha ng babaeng yun. She's totally making me insane.

She's even the ex of my cousin at hindi ko alam na ang pangit pala ng taste nung babaeng yun dahil sa bruho pa nagkagusto.

"Hello, my dear cousin," speaking of that guy.

"I thought you won't come here," he continued. Hindi naman talaga ako pupunta, he's one of the homophobic relatives I have.

"Nah, I wanted to witness a drama."

"Tsk, sana wag mong landiin yung mga kaibigan ko. They hate gays pa naman," I want to punch his face, really hard. He was the one who circulated a disinformation about me dating multiple guys, which destroyed my reputation to most of my relatives, but I didn't bother to care about it.

❥❥❥❥❥

PARANG ayoko ng lumabas. I am pacing back and forth sa loob ng kwarto at hindi ko alam kung anong gagawin if makikita ko siya sa labas.

I was talking about that gay. He made me feel like this.

"Let's grab a lunch na, sis. Alam kong gutom na gutom ka na galing sa biyahe." Kiana shouted from outside.

"Yeah, just a minute."

I wore a teal flowy string backless sunny dress na pinatungan ko ng yellow cardigan and paired it with a flipflops. Pinusod ko lang yung buhok ko and put a red tint in my lips.

"Hindi ko talaga gets kung bakit nakipag-break sayo yung damuhong kapatid ko na yun. You looks so pretty naman at mabait." Kiana's sentiment boosts my confidence, at least.

PAGDATING namin sa restaurant ng resort, I almost fainted dahil uupo kami ni Kiana sa table ni Francis. Hindi niya ako tinapunan ng tingin at kay Kiana lang siya nakatuon.

"How about you Zely, anong gusto mong kainin?" Kiana asked. Binasa ko naman yung menu and I gulped, ang mahal naman ng mga presyo dito. Hindi ko kayang mag-waldas ng pera. I am not rich, part-time lang ako sa pagiging English tutor at marami pa akong bayarin.

"Just order anything, you are a guest here. It's our treat," nakahinga ako ng maluwag, hindi naman pala ako uuwing mahirap nito. I looked at Francis at nagulat ako nang magtama ang tingin namin. Shit.

"Itong Caesar salad nalang---"

"What are you, a goat? You should order your friend a herb-crusted filet mignon," singit ni Francis. Bakit nakikialam siya? Yet, he maybe read my mind and I am partly grateful. Ayoko kasing mag order ng steak dahil ang mahal at nakakahiya sa kanila.

Kumain na kami nang dumating yung mga pagkain. Sinasali ako ni Kiana sa usapan nila but Francis and I never talked.

"Hey, guys. Oh hi, Zely. I didn't know you came, please don't be pathetic."

That jerk really got into my nerves.

"Huh? Kiana invited me---"

"Let's go outside," I got stunned when Francis grabbed me. Hindi na ako umapela at sumunod na lang sa kaniya. Kumalabog yung dibdib ko ng ma-realize na magkahawak yung kamay namin.

Nasa tabing-dagat kami at agad niya naman akong binitawan.

"You loved that guy?"

"Ha? Hindi!" I honestly answered. Why I felt so nervous towards him, para akong nasa interrogation.

"Ang chaka ng taste mo teh," what a relief, bading naman talaga siya.

"You should avoid him---"

"He was my ex boyfriend, who fooled me many times. Tangina niya!" I shouted.

Natawa naman siya sa sinabi ko. Umupo kami sa buhanginan at pinagmasdan lang ang karagatan, somewhat I feel comfortable sa presensya niya. We took a minute of silence bago siya nagsalita.

"Did you came here to hurt yourself? Seeing him with her soon-to-be wife and---"

"No, I came here to prove to myself that I already moved on. I want to shave it to his face, I regretted being with him," he just listened. I laughed mentally, we're finally talking.
