Rainbows After the Rain (Fuck and Forget Series #1)

"Please, Nick..."

I shut my eyes hardly and sighed for the ninth time. Which part of I'm not interested in her that she won't understand?  

"Look, I appreciate it that you likes me. I really do, Miss. And I can't blame you because I like myself too. But I really can't reciprocate your feelings for me, alright?" I tried to sound calm as possible even though my brows are already forming a line.

Hindi ko kilala ang babaeng ito. Bigla niya nalang akong hinarang habang naglalakad ako papunta sa parking lot. But she looked actually familiar. Feels like I've seen her somewhere in television. Baka isa ro'n sa mga actress o models?

"But... why? You're single, right?"

I nodded, opening the bottled water I bought on my way here. I looked up while chugging the bottle, taking a few gulps.

"I'm indeed single but it doesn't make me available for just anyone. I'm single but I'm only available for one person."

I suddenly chuckled when Kaede's image while eating, and his soft cheeks becoming mushy and rounded when full with food, which makes him so adorable and cute, appeared in my mind.

"You like... someone?"

I was pulled back to reality when the girl who confessed to me spoke. Nakakunot ang noo nito dahil bigla akong nawala sa sarili at tumatawa nalang bigla nang mag-isa. Binasa ko ang ibabang labi at napailing-iling.

Inubos ko ang laman ng bottle at tinapon iyon sa nakabukas na trashbin sa hindi kalayuan. Shoot. Three points.

"Yup. Not just a simple like. I'm in love with someone." I looked around while brushing my hair. Maraming estudyante ang napapalingon sa amin at magbubulungan sa isa't-isa.  I frowned.

"Cai..."

Nasa gano'n kaming sitwasyon nang biglang sumulpot si Frio.

Nakakunot ang noo nitong nakatingin sa babae tapos sumama ang tingin sa akin. Gago? Wala nga akong ginawa! Bakit parang may kasalanan na naman ako?

Bagsak ang balikat ng babaeng umalis at narinig ko pa itong bumuntong-hininga.

"Si Solar Anderson 'yon ah?"

Sinundan siya ng tingin ni Frio bago ito lumapit sa akin. Kinuha ko naman agad ang hawak nitong books. Wala ba siyang locker? Ang bigat bigat nitong books niya tapos binibitbit niya lang palagi?

"You know her?"

"International model din 'yon, Cai! Nanood nga ako ng last runaway niya! Bakit nandito 'yon? May kailangan sa 'yo?" Takang tanong ni Frio.

International model huh? So that explains why her curves are hot. Unfortunately, she's not my type. Maybe if I were the old Nick, I will not let her slipped without getting into her pants. Kaso hindi na ako interesado sa mga magagandang babae ngayon. I'm pursuing someone seriously. Nag-iba na ang type ko.

Gulay hater parin naman ako, nag-iba lang ang hilig. Hindi na pechay, talong na.

Ang type ko ngayon ay 'yong lalaking lumolobo ang pisnge sa takaw kumain. Iyong lalaking... gumaganda kapag naiinis. I shook my head and unconsciously smiled. Lade is really right. I'm too fucking whipped.

"Well, she's... a friend," I shrugged uninterestedly.

I couldn't reciprocate her feelings for me and the least thing I could do is to save her ass. I didn't want to humiliate her by bragging about an international model who confessed to me and got rejected. 'Cause If it's really true that she's an international model, then to be rejected by me is indeed embarrassing for her.
