The Magnetic: Loving The Insensitive

Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Trapped

I took a deep breath before I went inside the bar. Nakaplano na ang lahat. Thanks to Vash. Until now I can't still believe that he actually offered to help. Nakita ko agad silang dalawa. At mukhang lasing na si Zeck base sa nakikita kong pamumungay ng mga mata niya.

"Hey," I said.

Vash smirked. "Your savior is here, buddy!" Tinapik pa niya sa balikat si Zeck. "Missy, is it okay if you take this drunken man home? You see, I have a very hot date waiting for me that I can't ditch. No offense, man but hot sex comes first before friendship."

"It's okay. I'll take him home."

"I...I don't wanna go home yet. We're still having fun, Vash!" Sa pag-galaw niya ay muntik na siyang masubsob sa mesa. Maagap ko lang siyang nasalo. Namumungay ang mga matang tumingin siya sa kin. "I'm getting married, Mishy! Why ruin it?" 

Umawang ang mga labi ko at napatingin kay Vash. Nagtatanong ang tingin ko sa kanya. Did he tell Zeck about my plan?

Vash shook his head. "I didn't. I swear."

"Then why?"

"I don't know. He's drunk. Don't mind him."

I touched Zeck's face. His eyes are closed. "Zeck? You okay? I'll take you home." He just moaned. Tumayo na si Vash at inalalayan si Zeck.  Isinakay na niya sa car ko at inayos. "What did you give him?"

"Nothing." Tinitigan ko siya. "Jeez! I just ordered something hard for him that well, would definitely hurt him so bad when he woke up tomorrow. It would surely hurt like a bitch. Tried it myself before so I should know."

"You should've just put something in his drunk. He would have a bad headache tomorrow."

"Then what? He would be suspicious. He doesn't get drunk easily. So I had no choice but to make sure that he would. Give him an aspirin and a glass of water. Problem solved. Quit worrying, will you? My part here is done. He's all yours now." 

Sinulyapan ko ang natutulog na si Zeck. I'm so sorry. You're giving me no choice.

"Thanks Vash." I sighed.

"Are you having second thoughts?" Di ako nakasagot agad. Am I? "Do you want to back out?"

A part of me that was filled with guilt, wanted to. But the other part of me that didn't want to give him up, refused to listen to my conscience.

Hinawakan ko ang ulo ko. "I don't know. I'm already feeling guilty."

"Look, it's not yet too late to change your mind. If you want to back out, take him to his unit then go home. If not, then you know what to do." I bit my lower lip. What the hell, Missy? You're almost there. Ngayon ka pa ba uurong? "It's either you back out, watch him commit to another woman...or go on with the plan and try to win his heart. So which is which?"

If I went on with the plan, he would surely hate me. But if I didn't, he would marry Ella and have kids with him while I would wallow in misery because I lost the man I love so much without a fight. "I can't give him up."

He nodded. "Good luck then."

Yeah, I need that.

"Oh gosh, Zeck! You're so heavy!" I complained. Halos na sa akin na ang bigat niya habang inaalalayan ko siya. Finally! Naihiga ko na rin siya sa kama niya. "This is it, Missy. There's no turning back once you took off his clothes."
