Chapter 3: The Deal
Chloe’s POV
If you’re going to ask me about last Sunday, well, there’s nothing much. But! There’s something happened that shocked me. I am, actually, clueless why the hell Tita Bella, Bianca’s mom, will call me. She called me when I got home. Through that phone call, I’ve learned that Bianca was scheduled to date someone last Saturday night, when she attended some business gathering. Bianca was on fault when she didn’t go to find there the lucky bastard who supposedly she be dating, that night.
That someone just happened to be the son of one of the board members on their family company.
This bastard hates to wait, hates to be rejected and, lastly, hates to be his parents’ pet. Meaning to say, he’s one unlucky guy! He’s loves to date- - I mean, play with girls he randomly met. He’s a PLAYBOY! He acts like a king and a famous rule breaker.
In short, he is, none other than, Mr. Justin Miguel Ford.
Bianca is still clueless about her fault, I bet even Justin, still, doesn’t have any idea that it is Bianca whom he supposed to date that night. Instead, a spontaneous incident led them to meet each other. It might be FATE…. Or DESTINY!
Come to think of it, they didn’t met each other on a scheduled date. Instead, they met each other through their own way. You get my point? It’s coincident. No one actually did a thing in purpose. It just happened that Justin is such a jerk that night and it’s because of the postponed date of his that is why, he didn’t let the beeping car to have a smooth exit in the parking lot. Isipin nyo, magkatabi pa yung car nilang dalawa?!
So, yeah! That’s the reason kung bakit nagasgasan ni Bianca yung car ni Justin. I don’t know din dito sa lalaking ‘to kung bakit ayaw pang tigilan yung bestfriend ko, eh napaayos at nabayaran na rin naman lahat ng dapat ipaayos at bayaran. Weirdo!
Anyways, I haven’t told Bianx about these things yet. It’s not my story to tell, you know? So, I’ll just zipped my mouth. And! Justin is not one of my prospect, ANYMORE! I want him for Bianca, ONLY! I want them to date, to be a couple and to have a happily ever after! Isipin nyo… The playboy and the heart-breaker! What an excellent team they got!
“Chlong-chlong tabaaaa!” Omg! Here comes the Appetite Queen! Feeling ko nasa kitchen lang sya. Fyi, guys! Inaasar na nya ko sa tawag nya for three effin’ days! Binabawian nya kasi ako for what I did last Sunday! And if you’re going to ask what I did that made her tease me, well, I just had fun. Lol.
I followed Justin back on twitter using her account and then he tweeted Bianx’s account ng, ‘Thanks, babe :*’ and so a brilliant idea hit my head. I replied, ‘No problem, babe :*’ he replied telling Bianx na magkita daw sila sa Bayleaf tomorrow for the event, kaya I told him na sunduin nya si Biancky. HAHAHA!
If you’ll ask me about the incident na tulog si Bianx tapos lumabas ako to meet Justin naman, wala namang nangyari masyado, I told him na tulog si Bianx, he talked to me about Bianx for a while then umalis na. He is not a flirt, actually. Boyfriend material naman, sadyang lapitin lang siguro ng chicks. Sa gwapo ba naman nya eh! Sus!
Then, after that, I stalked him. HAHAHAHA! OO NA NGA! Sinundan ko lang sya, para naman tignan kung mapapagkatiwalaang tao sya. So ayun nga, mukhang safe si Baincky kasi walang girlfriend eh and walang tumagal na girl. Wala ngang sinakay sa car nya eh. Pero pumunta sya ng bar. Normal playboy’s life. Medyo good boy pa nga eh, kasi naman, ilang babae na yung nagtangkang magpa-cute sa kanya and makipagkwentuhan ng matagal. But, he just keep on nodding or shooking his head, he smiles naman din but minsan lang and then he’ll drink beer with a serious gwapo face!
HE’S FREAKING HOT! I SWEAR!
But, the thing is, Bianca hates ‘bad boy’ type of guys. She’s a girl who admires a ‘prince charming slash Mr. Goodguy’ type boys. She doesn’t know how to appreciate hot looking guys who has bad boy auras.
“Chlong-chlong taba, ano ba?! Di ka parin ba bababa?”
“Ayoko.” Sabay gulong ko sa kama at talukbong ng kumot.
“Sige, higa pa. lolobo ka lalo nyan.” Tinanggal ko yung takip na kumot sa mukha ko.
“Wow. So, ikaw? Di ka tataba kakakain mo?” Poker face kong sabi.
“No. I’m hyper kasi and active. Ikaw naman nganga forevs!” Binato ko sya ng unang unan na nadampot ko sa gilid ko, nasalo naman nya yun agad.
“Layas na nga! Kumain ka nalang sa baba.”
“Wala ka ng pasok?”
“Wala daw prof namin.”
“Dapat ba kong maniwala?” I rolled my eyes. She’s really like my mother! Grr.
“Oo. Dapat ka naring lumayas. May pasok ka pa.”
“Kahit university week?! Duh. Wala talagang prof noh! Dyan ka na nga!”
“Hoy! Wag mong ubusin yung cookies kooooo!” I just heard her loud laughter but no answer. Kahit kelan talaga yung babaeng yun.
I got up and took a bath. After kong magbihis, bumaba na ko dahil baka wala ng laman yung ref ko.
“Bianx?!” I yelled. Asan na yun? Yung itsura sa dining is parang may nakaiwan ng kinakain at hinandang food tapos bukas pa yung tv pero mahina lang yung volume at commercial pa. Ayaw talaga nu’n ng commercials madalas nga nyang i-mute yung tv pag commercial break na.
I searched the first floor, even sa cr pero wala. Asan na yu- - Oh! Bakit bukas yung pinto?
I walked pass the living room para masara yung pinto pero nakita ko si Bianca sa labas. “Bian- -“, nagulat ako sa kaharap nya. Kausap nya si… Justin.
Pa’no napunta ang isang ‘to dito?
Nagtago agad ako sa may pinto. Nasa may gate kasi sila kaya malamang, it’s not yet too late to hide.
“Bianca, please. Just this once. After nito, I promise, wala na.” I can hear a hint of begging in his voice. What are they talking about?
“Alam mo bang inistorbo mo yung pagkain ko?! Kainis.” Does everything about her has something to do with foods? Like, seriously?
“Pumayag ka na kasi. Please.”
“Ayoko.”
“Please, I’m begging you. Come on, I never beg anyone, for your information.”
“You know that I hate your type, right? So, how sure are you that this might work?”
“I don’t know. I just know that, If we won’t try then we won’t know what might happen.”
“Are you seriously out of your mind?!”
“Please?” Pure of sincerity yung boses ni Justin. I can feel it. Omg, does this has something to do with their postponed date?
“In one condition.” Justin nodded, “Give me a satisfying reason why I should date a guy like you.” My eyes widened when I heard what Bianca said. Omg, I was right!
“Because we should. We have to. Nakasalalay yung family businesses natin dito. Good thing, they just demanded us to try not to do everything just to work things out.”
“I’m not satisfied. You can leave, now.” I told you, guys! She’s an ultimate heartbreaker. She was about to turn her back at him when Justin grab her wrist and…. OMG! Lumuhod syaaaaaa! Why, oh why?!
“Hey! Tumayo ka nga. Ano ba?! Justin!” Pinipilit ni Bianx na patayuin si Justin pero di nya ‘to matayo kasi, hello naman? Ang macho na, ang tangkad pa!
“No, not until you say yes.” Hawak ng dalawang kamay nya yung left hand ni Bianx.
“Fine, fine! Tumayo ka na.” Omg!!!!!!
Justin stood up with a wide smile on his face. Nayakap pa nya ng mahigpit with matching slightly buhat kay Bianx sa sobrang tuwa. Omg! I need oxygen. Kinikilig kasi ako sa kanila eh. Super tindi ng chemistry nila eh. KYAAAHHHH!
“Oh! Tsansing ka agad. Alis na.” Napaka talaga ng isang ‘to! Kaya NBSB eh. Sabunutan ko kaya ‘to?!
(Wow! Nagsalita yung hindi NBSB. Nakakahiya naman.)
Shut up, konsensya! I don’t need your comment. Tss.
“Hindi mo ba muna ako papapasukin? Grabe ka na.”
“No. It’s not my house, okay? Baka maloka pa yung bestfriend ko sayo.”
“Sige na nga. Sunduin kita sa Saturday ah.”
“What? No! Di pwede.”
“Okay! See you. Basta 7 pm, sharp.”
“Anong 7 pm sharp?”
“7 pm kita susunduin.” Then he smiled at her. Omg! Kung ako si Bianca, lusaw na ko. But, of course, since siya si Bianca, inirapan lang nya ang Adonis sa harap nya. Such a dumbass nigga!
Nakita ko nalang na hinatid ni Bianca sa labas ng gate si Justin at nagpaalam na sa isa’t isa. I rushed sa middle part ng staircase and acted as if pababa palang ako ng stairs. I saw her looking sa tiles sa may pinto.
“Oh! What’s with the face?”
“Bakit basa dito?” She looked at the ceiling, “it’s very impossible naman na may leak yung ceiling, eh room mo na sa taas nito.” Crap! Yung buhok ko ang may kagagawan nyan, for sure. We don’t usually comb our hair kasi lalo na pagbasa.
“Hmm… I don’t know, either.” I turned my back kasi baka mahalata nya yung pagsisinungaling ko kaya dumiretso na ko sa kitchen para magtimpla ng kape.
“Pwede naman, if ever kanina ka pa nakatayo dito kaya tumulo yung tubig galing sa buhok mo.” OMG, is she Detective Conan na girl version?! Seriously? Nakita ko pa syang nagsmirked habang nakaupo na sa dining.
“That’s next to impossible. Kakababa ko lang kaya.” I exited the kitchen and sat on the other seat across her.
“Oh! Okay.” She shrugged. “Punasan nalang natin.” She get the mop and mopped the wet area sa may pinto then bumalik na ulit sa upuan nya.
“San ka pala galing? Bakit galing ka sa labas ng pinto?” Tanong ko sabay inom ng kape.
“Dumating si Justin. May sinabi lang. Wag mo nang alamin.” OA talaga nito! Bastos pa. Kinakausap ba naman ako habang nilalakasan yung volume nung tv?!
“Fine. Arte!” I acted as if I surrendered. Well, sorry for her but I already knew it all. Duh!- -
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” Oh my goodness! She’s crazy.
“You’re scary. Cut that crap.”
“Sabi na eh. You saw everything, right? Duh! You won’t stop pushing things to me kaya, not until sabihin ko lahat. You lied to the wrong person, Chlong-chlong!” I rolled my eyes.
“You’re such a b*tch.” She just laugh loudly.
“Just like you.” She answered back. I just shook my head in disbelief. Sira talaga ‘to.
Nung wala kaming makitang magandang palabas, pinatay naang nya yung tv. It’s a good opportunity for me to ask her things. Nice!
“So, you’ll date him?” I asked.
“Sorry nga pala. Don’t worry, just this once. After that, proceed na ulit tayo sa date ny- -“
“No,no. He’s yours, okay?! I’ll go with Nico, Louie and…. The cutipie, Noah.”
“Noah?!”
“Yep. He’s cute. I like him.”
“Goodness gracious!”
“Anyways, don’t be such an ass, Bianx! ‘Wag mo namang kawawain si Justin! You look perfect together. And, one more thing, he looks so sincere.”
“He’s actually good.” Sabay kagat nya ng sandwich nya. Napatingin naman ako ng dahan-dahan sa kanya at nabitawan yung sandwich ko. When she felt that I’m staring at her, she looked at me.
“What?” She hissed.
“Oh. My. Ghad!”
“Shut up and eat, okay?!”
“You actually complimented him!”
“So?”
“Tinamaan ka noh? Yiieee.” I teased her.
“No, of course not.”
“Eh bak- -“
“You might regret teasing me, you know? I might backout.”
“Fine. You win! Tatahimik na ko. Pero kinikilig talaga ko.” Then I acted na kinikilig na nagpipigil.
“Bakit, ako ba hindi?”
