I was looking for a Job, not Love! (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter Eighteen: Jade

(Chapter Eighteen: Jade)

So ayun, kinuwento nila yung nangyari kay Lance.

"You had a boyfriend?" Di makapaniwalang tanong sakanya ni Lance, by the way nasa food court na sila ngayon at nasa kalagitnaan ng pagkain nang matapos magkuwento si Ciara, yung babaeng laging nasa gitna.

"He's not my boyfriend." Bagot na pahayag ni Iziriah.

"Ang cold mo pala." Tyron, the guy who looks like a playboy, said and then thought to himself, "Imagine kinanakalimutan mo mga naging ex mo? That's cruel even for a playboy like me." Then he shuddered.

Lance stayed quiet.

"I told you many times. Hindi ko sya kilala and walang naging kami, okay?" Nakapikit na depensa ni Iziriah, her brow twitched irritatedly as she grabbed her drink and took a short sip on the straw.

"Psh! Pwede ba yun? Di kilala tapos ni-kiss sa lips?" Natatawang pahayag ni Nicole, yung babaeng boyish.

"What?!" Lance suddenly shouted in disbelief as he looked at Iziriah, his eyes silently pleading na nagbibiro lang si Nicole.

His silent plea was immediately crushed as he saw how Iziriah's normally smooth and pale skin turned red.

"So he did kissed you, huh?" And then Lance looked towards his food, immediately losing his appetite while leaf green eyes stare at him intently.

"I-it's just... He didn't technically kissed me fully in the lips! S...sa gilid lang naman." Namumulang explain ni Iziriah.

Ang malamig nyang panglabas na anyo ay biglang naglaho. Her usually cold facade started melting and all they see now is a very flustered girl.

"Hmm. You're jealous." Ang biglang pahayag ng lalaking may kulay luntiang mga mata kay Lance.

Natigilan si Iziriah atsaka nagtatakang itong nilingon. Biglang namula ang tainga at mukha ni Lance

"S-so what if I am?" Mapait na tanong ni Lance, at natahimik naman sina Ciara, habang wala namang kaalam-alam si Iziriah na patuloy lamang sa paghigop sa kanyang inumin gamit ang straw, medyo namumula pa din ang kanyang mga pisngi pero bagot ang expression nito.

(Time skip)

"So you're on a date or what?" Taas kilay ni Ciara kina Iziriah habang naglalaro sila sa arcade. Pagkatapos nilang kumain sa food court ay bumalik sila sa arcade para maglaro.

"We're not. We're just hanging out." Kibit balikat ni Iziriah habang bagot na pinapanood sina Tyron at Lance na maglaro ng Tekken.

"So you two are not a thing?" Naniniguradong tanong ni Jade, na nasa tabi nya.

"Nah."

Palihim na siniko ni Nicole si Jade na inalis ang kanyang atensyon mula kay Iziriah atsaka liningon si Nicole na nasa tabi nya.

"Hmm?"

"You like her, don't you?" Nicole wiggled her eyebrows suggestively and continued on nudging Jade's arm, sporting that smug face.

Jade's piercing green eyes remained on Nicole's dark brown ones,

"Hmm."

"Ayiiieh~!" Atsaka nya itinulak ang binata papalapit kay Iziriah na walang kaalam-alam.

"Fuck!"

Nanlaki ang mga mata ni Iziriah ng makaramdam ng kamay na pumulupot sakanyang bewang mula sa kanyang gilid, na nagmula sa binatang nasa tabi nya, na nagmula sa mga kamay ni Jade...na nakayakap sakanya.

.

=____=?

"What are you doing?" Flat ang tono ni Iziriah atsaka nya nilingon si Jade na medyo nanlalaki ang mga kulay luntiang  mata.

<////<

"Sorry." Agad na bumitaw si Jade atsaka tumingin sa likod nito,

Lumaki ang ngisi sa labi ni Nicole ng makita ang matalim na mga mata ni Jade na nakatingin sakanya.

"Nuuuh~! You're welcome."

"Whatever."
