13 JAN
I was lazily sipping on my double dutch shake while scrolling through my phone, pumangalumbaba ako sa lamesa at naghanap pa ng ibang mapagkakaabalahang games sa App Store kaso masyado akong bothered sa mga bagay-bagay simula kahapon.
I tsked and sighed heavily, I blocked Ichan on my IG. Nakakapikon talaga iyon, noong una natutuwa ako sa kanya dahil may maganda siyang pamilya at welcoming pero nitong nakaraan—nakakainis na siya.
Siya pa may ganang magsabi noon? Na akala niya hindi na ako magt-text? E, huminto lang naman ako dahil wala siyang response!
Magsama sila ng ex niyang pakialamera!
Umirap ako sa kawalan saka hinaplos ang batok ko, pagkalingon ko sa labas ng glass wall ay natanaw ko agad si Ichan; wearing a black plaid shirt and a pair of navy green sweat pants. My eyes widened as my heart pounded so bad, it seems like he already saw me here because our eyes immediately crossed.
I picked my phone, leaving my drink on the table—I hurriedly walked towards the other glass door which is closer to my place without looking at him again. My heart was hammering against my chest, nakalabas naman ako sa awa ng sitwasyon.
"Shit!" I gasped and held on my chest when I saw Alfieri on the exit. "Oh my God!" I didn't know where to go suddenly, I look stupid. "You planned this!"
Alfieri chuckled while looking at me. "He's right after all, you'd run away so..." he shrugged coolly.
"Tabi!" pagalit na sabi ko at muling sumubok makatakas pero humarang siya. "Pag hindi mo ako pinadaan, sinasabi ko sayo!"
I'm wearing a cap right now to hide my face even though this mall isn't too crowded—I still need to be hidden from my brother's fans, natawa si Alfieri kahit nangungunot ang noo.
"English only, I don't have a lot of bullets in the pocket."
I glared and pushed him. "Just fuck off and let me go!"
He held on my arms while I'm pushing his chest, he was chuckling and he immediately raised his hands a bit as he looked behind me.
"Ang kulit," medyo balikong sabi ni Alfieri kay Ichan.
I know who it is! Damn it!
I shifted back to my cool and sighed heavily before facing him, suppressing my irritation and nervous at the same time. "What's your problem?"
Mukha namang hindi rin siya natutuwa, his expression was calm but frigid while looking at me and his blue eyes gave me shivers more.
"Usap," he said seriously.
"Sabi kong ayaw ko, anong mahirap intindihin doon?"
I could feel Alfieri walking away kaya nilingon ko siya pero nakatalikod na siya at pumasok sa glass door na pinaglabasan ko kanina. I closed my eyes and looked at Ichan again.
"I'll give you one minute to talk, that's enough."
I'm so fucking embarrassed, I wanna leave but I remember Vyper's advise—act cool as if he's just nothing.
