Get You | Ricci Rivero COMPLETED

Everything I need's between those thighs

"Marquis, try this one oh! This would look good on you!" Danica screeched as she waves a gold sequined backless dress that is too indecent for my age. Napailing ako but I accepted what she suggested and went to the fitting room. Hindi ko naman 'to susukatin because I already picked a black dress at this shop pero para wala na lang siyang masabi – tanggap na lang ng tanggap.

It was 2 o'clock on a Saturday and I was currently dragged at the so-called fitting for the upcoming Fundraising party of my Dad. Ate Pauline is currently waiting for us at the car since she really couldn't take the vibe of Danica. Pumili na lang siya ng unang makita niya sa store, sinukat and decided na yun na ang susuotin niya.

When I told Ate Pauline the whole story about what happened to TP and the revision that she did – halos umiyak at lumuhod na siya sa harap ko para mag-sorry. Todo sorry siya to the point na inaaya nya ako sa isang 'Shop till you drop' session all expenses paid by her next week but I disagreed and told her na it's just a misunderstanding. Of course hindi siya pumayag at gagawin nya daw lahat para lang makabawi sa akin. She even wants to talk to my Professor to prove it pero OA na. Sasabihin lang nun na ang spoiled brat ko at naghatak pa ako ng outsider. I laughed at the idea. Babawi pala eh iniwan nya ako mag-isa dito sa golddigger na 'to! The amount of hate I have for Danica and Dad is unexplainable. Dati, pinipilit ko lang intindihin si Daddy. Hindi naman talaga siya ganyan e, but now I know. I understand the fact that Dad already changed. Hindi na siya yung taong sasagipin at po protektahan kami kung may masamang tao. Kabaligtaran pa.

"Excited ka na ba sa party? I'm sure excited na rin yung date mo! Dapat sinama mo siya para makapili na rin siya dito kung anong susuotin niya!"

I rolled my eyes in irritation. Bakit ba sobrang nakakaasar yung boses niya? Parang feeling ko pinupunit yung eardrums ko whenever she speaks. I haven't asked Ricci or anyone about the so-called party. Gulong gulo na ang isip ko at hindi ko na maintindihan ang mga mangyayari sa mga susunod na araw.

Once Mico sees me – he stood up. Hindi ko alam kung bago ba 'to pero never niya ata ako pinaghandaan ng upuan when we're dating. I sneered. Nagpapalakas.

"Have you eaten?" he asked me as he waves a waiter nearby.

I nodded and maintained a straight face when I sat. "I just had dinner. Mico, you know I'm not here for anything. Nakiusap ka na bigyan kita ng oras ko. Please, gawin mo naman. Gabi na."

He sighed. Tumingin siya sa akin ng parang nagpapaawa before a waiter comes in. "1 spicy tuna pesto, grilled cheese sandwich with chips, 1 coke regular and an iced latte for her. 50% sugar lang. Thanks," Nagulat ako sa dalawang bagay na nangyari. Una, nag thank you siya sa waiter. Pangalawa, he still knows that grilled cheese is my favorite and 50% sugar lang ang pinapalagay ko sa Iced Latte. Infairness, nag-eeffort si fuccboi maging nice. As if.

"Well, I want to thank you for your time. Alam kong ayaw mo na ako makita but you still did. Still nice and genuine as ever, Marq. I couldn't ask for more." I raised my eyebrows for his praises na hindi naman tumalab and motioned for him to continue. "I insisted na makipag-usap ka sa akin because I finally had the courage to tell you the truth. Alam ko gago ako para iwan kita ng ganon ganon lang. But believe me – kahit mahirap paniwalaan. I did it for your own sake, Marq."

Natigilan ako. Ano bang pinagsasabi nito ni Mico? Nahihibang na ba 'to at nagddrama bigla ng ganito? Feeling nya ba siya na si San Lorenzo Ruiz para magpaka-martyr?

Tumawa ako ng malakas. "Mico, what are you trying to say? Anong for my own sake? Hindi ba iniwan mo ako bigla kasi you decided na pinagsawaan mo na ako and nakahanap ka na nang iba? Didn't you just suck, fuck then chuck me?"
