Irene

It's been three days. Three days since i've met my so called soulmate. It's hard to believe but yes, he is my soulmate, my meant to be and 'the one'

I never thought something great will happen that night despite all what i've been through.

I looked at my watch. From color black, naging crimson red ito. Maybe because i already found him.

Every single person has a watch on their wrist. Inborn na to, it looks like a wristband actually pero kulay  black. Like a dark night without moon and stars. But when the right time comes it'll turn red. A crimson red, full of love and emotions.

And now, i've already reached that color. It means that i have to love that someone forever because he is the one destined for me. Once na hindi ka naging faithful sa taong yun, your watch will turn gray which signifies loneliness. You can't love another person anymore. They'll turn you down and reject you. So yeah dito mo na masasabi kung loyal ka ba or not.

I heard a soft knock on the door. Di ko alam kung pagbubuksan ko ba or not.

"Irene? Lumabas ka dyan, let's eat"

Should i come out? Maybe i should kasi gutom naman na ako and besides this is not my house. It's his house.

"I'm coming" i said saka siya pinagbuksan.

He's wearing a plain white shirt and a jogging pants and damn he looks so hot. He smiled at me and pulled me to the kitchen.

"Alam kong gutom ko na that's why i cooked for you" he said while smiling. Oh gosh naliya. Buti nalang mahigpit garter ng panty ko kundi kanina pa to nahulog.

"Sandali lang" sabi niya saka ako tinalikuran. I examined his back down to his well rounded butt. What the fuck? Mas matambok pa ata yung kanya kesa sakin.

I unconsciously looked at my own butt. I sighed, disappointed on my own body. But hey, i have a nice boobs though.

"What are you doing?" i immediately turned my head to him, flustered. Naka kunot ang noo niya while smiling sheepishly.

"U-uh nothing!"

"You're cute" oh.

"Thanks. I know right" I said and flipped my hair.

"And you're a brat too" i rolled my eyes in annoyance. Me? A brat? Maybe a little bit.

"Well you are too good looking with that nice ass of yours. Penge, kahit konti lang" sabi ko at tumingin sa pwet niya.

"What's wrong with your butt? It's cute and flat" i knitted my eyebrows showing my irriated look. He smiles amusingly. Me? Amusing?

"Why are we even talking about butts?"

"You started it"

"Wow i cannot believe you're my soulmate"

"Yes. you can't believe someone hot and handsome like me is destined for you." Well that's a fact pero kunwari nabulunan ako.

"Chokes"

"Want daddy to choke you?"

"W-what?" i blushed. Gago to ah? Papatayin daw ako?

"Kidding" he said then burst out of laughter. This hoe!

*******

"I have classes tomorrow" sabi ko sakanya habang siya naman ay prenteng nakahilata sa sofa niya while watching some random basketball games on TV.

"So?" i raised my eyebrows. Seriously, this guy!!!

"So you have to drive me home to get my uniforms and other stuffs. Also, Thank you for letting me stay here." I said sincerely. Yep i should thank him kasi kundi dahil sakanya. I might be dead right now or maybe starving and homeless. I still remembered what happened before i met Leo.

I was happily walking on my way home. Wala yung driver namin since day off niya so i have to walk but that's not a problem since malapit lang naman yung bahay namin sa school na pinapasukan ko.

I have to tell Mom na i'm the top of our class this semester para naman matuwa siya sakin at hindi yung Older Sister ko nalang ang lagi niyang pinupuri. I always envy her. Kasi laging siya nalang. Siya yung magaling, siya yung responsable, siya yung matalino and such. Tas eto ako, working hard just to get my parent's attention. But no matter what i do, it will always be her.

That's why excited nakong sabihin sakanila.

Nakarating ako sa bahay breathing heavily. Tumakbo nako baka di ko sila maabutan since they still have work. Pumasok ako ng bahay only to see their disappointed faces. I looked at them confused. Pero nginitian ko parin sila at niyakap ng mahigpit.

"Mom i have great news! You see i'm the to-" naputol ang sasabihin ko ng sampalin niya ako. Wow. I didn't expect that. Tinignan ko lang sila ng nagtataka.

"2 unexcused absences, Truancy and using gadgets. Those are your offences for this month. Goodness Irene! What are you thinking?  Nakakahiya ka!" i felt nothing. Nothing but pain.

I remained silent. I don't know what to say nor do.

"B-but mom.. i'm t-top on our class"  i said desperately. I'm hoping na humingi siya ng pasensya at i-appreciate ako pero no. Instead i heard the most painful words i've ever heard.

"So? Ipagmamayabang mo yang honor mo? That will not change the fact that you occurred offences! Kung ganyang behaviour ang ipapakita mo samin ng daddy mo. You better leave. You're not even our real daughter anyway"
