Shut Up or I'll Kiss You

Kiss of Revenge Ch. 16

Kiss of Revenge Ch. 16: Kiss No More

Charles' POV:

It's not the first time I lost somone I love.
It's not the first time I lost at love.
It feels like it's predestined.
Love will find me.
I will love.
Love will leave.
I'll be left.

You might think that by now I should be used to it, right? Loving, losing, hurting... Kasi nga naman, hindi ito ang una.
But love is not like riding a bike.
Na kapag nahulog ka, itatayo mo ulit yung bike tapos aandar na ulit.
Na kapag hindi ka nagbike ng matagal na panahon, matatandaan mo pa rin kung paano sa muling pagtapak mo sa pedal nito.

Love is always a new experience.

And it was, indeed, an experience for me.

I woke up with the sunlight hitting my face. It was warm. I groaned. I tried to lift my head but failed miserably. My head is throbbing. I slumped back on my bed and opened my eyes instead.

I have no recollection of what happened last night. But by the looks of it, I think I drunk myself to death. Empty bottles of whiskey are on my floor. There's even a half full bottle right next to my bed.

I groaned again. That explains the headache. I forced myself to sit up. And I was successful after a few mitues of trying.

I burried my face on my hands and tried to remember last night.

Oh yes. I lost my Charly and RB left. But what surprised me is that feeling of nothingness. I feel devoid of any emotions. I probably lost them on my second bottle. Or third.

Then I felt my phone vibrates. Somewhere. I scrumbled on my bed to find my phone and saw the caller ID.

Nick.

Why? Does she know?
How? Who told her?

Then the vibration stopped and I saw the multiple messages and missed calls. I didn't even bother on checking them.

Bago ko pa maibaba ang phone ko, it starts vibrating again.

Nick.

I groaned before answering the phone.

"Kapag di mo binuksan ang pinto mo, ipapa-wrecking ball ko to kay Miley Cyrus. O papasabugin ko."

It took me time before I can process what she said. "Wait. You're outside? My house?"

"Ay hindi, nasa loob ako ng bahay mo." She replied sounding irritated. "Kanina pa Charles. Ano bang ginagawa mo?! Buksan mo na, dali!!"

"Wala ako sa bahay ko." I lied.

"Oh really?! Coz I can smell you from here Charles. You stink."

"Ugh. Fine. Wait."

Tumayo ako at pinagbuksan siya ng pinto. I was surprised when Denise rushes inside and hugged my waist. And as unstable as I am, I stumbled down with her still plastered on my waist.

"Aahhh!!" She shouted in pain.

"Charles!! What the heck! Denise, baby, are you okay?"

I heard Nick's voice then felt Denise being taken away from me.

"I'm fine mommy. But I don't think Daddy is."

I looked up and saw Denise's worried eyes looking at me. Tinignan ko si Nicole and she looked pissed.

"Goodmorning." I said, faking a smile.

Nicole sighed. "How are you?" She asked sincerely.

I stood up. "I'm fine."
