The Playgirl Is Resigning

CHAPTER 7: Babysitting

Marami-rami ang mga taong kakilala ko ang dumaan palabas o papasok ng bar. And I got busy greeting and waving back at them. Ang iba ay nakipag beso pa pero napansin ko naman na sa katabi ko dumapo ang mga mata.

"You got a lot of friends and acquaintances here. I guess I shouldn't be worry about you while I'll be having a meeting later." Nilingon ko naman si Kuya Bran habang nagpalinga-linga sa paligid.

We're outside of my favorite bar. Madalas kami rito ng mga friends ko, at kanina pa nga nandoon sa loob sina Trina. Ako lang ang nahuli kasi hindi nanaman pumayag ang mga kapatid ko na magdala ng sasakyan at baka maglasing nanaman ako. Kaya heto at nagpresenta si Kuya Bran na siya na lang ang maghatid sa akin para sa ikapanatag ng loob ng lahat. He has a meeting with the Engineers and architects for his beach resort. Pero over dinner lang din naman daw iyon.

"Of course Kuya. So you don't have to worry about me. I'm twenty. I can take care of my own." I assured him but I know he still won't. I've been telling them a million times that I'm already in a legal age but I guess I will forever be a kid to them.

"I know. I know. I can't just help worrying about you. I trust you but the boys around you, I don't." Magkasalubong nanaman ang mga kilay nito. The cut on his left eyebrow looks good on him. He looks like a Protagonist badboy from the novels.

Napansin ko din ang matalim na tingin nitong binato sa mga lalaking napapadaan. "God! Kuya you're scaring them." I unbelievably said as I face-palmed.

Ngumisi naman itong tumingin sa akin." So they won't bother you later."

Oh Gosh! Why am I even here anyway? My party tonight might gonna be boring if I can't even get a boy tonight. I didn't mean to have sex with them of course. I'm still a Virgin.

"You'll gonna miss your meeting Kuya. You should go now." He looked at me with those suspicious eyes, so I looked away.

Oh Gosh! Sweats started dripping on my forehead while silently praying. I'm fucking guilty.

Alam kong naramdaman nito na tinataboy ko na ito palayo sa bar. And I am using his meeting as an excuse. Sino ba pang niloloko ko? Dalawang taon lang ang agwat namin ni Kuya Bran. He knows me better than my other brothers. Siguro dahil palaging kami ang naiiwan sa bahay noon dahil nag aaral pa kami habang ang tatlo ay mas matanda sa amin ng ilang taon at busy na sa negosyo.

"What are you plotting now Yana?" Puno ng pagdududa ang boses nito.

I swallowed the lump on my throat and fake a laugh. "W-Wala!" Trying hard to hide the nervousness.

Fuck. I'm afraid he'll reschedule his meeting and join me inside instead. No way in hell I will let that happen. Now that Dave is waiting for me inside that damn bar already. He's in a Ppop idol group and he messaged me earlier that he'll wait for me there. I won't miss this. He's a good collection for my boytoy. Dammit.

Hindi na ako mapakali. Lalo na ng mariin ang mga mata nitong nakatitig sa akin. Ramdam ko iyon kahit na nasa kabilang direksyon naman ang mga mata ko. Nagmukha akong pusa na may kasalanan sa amo niya at iniintriga ako. Muntik ko pang batukan ang sarili ko. Dapat kasi hinintay ko na lang itong magpaalam kanina. I heard Dave's group will be having a world tour next week kaya busy na naman ito. Ngayon lang ata siya may free time.

"Hey Dude." Napalingon ako sa gawi ni Kuya ng marinig ko ito. Sinalubong niya ang lalaking ilang hakbang lang na papalapit sa amin. "I haven't seen you for awhile."

Napangiwi naman ako.

Looks like he found a friend in here. Mukhang papasok din ito sa bar. I guess Kuya Bran will really go inside now and just reschedule his meeting. How unlucky I am tonight.
