Match Made in Hell

Prologue

I never liked him. He was an obnoxious, arrogant, fight-loving, good for nothing gangster that suddenly showed up in my life. Oh wait, I was the one who kept on pushing my way into his life.

I had a lot of things that I regret doing, but I didn't regret anything when I was permanently stuck in his world, no exits.

"Heaven!" I flinched when I heard my name. Napasinghap ako at ibinaba ang librong binabasa ko. What's her problem? Geez!

"What?! Kita mong busy ako dito!" inis kong sabi. Lumabas ako ng kwarto ko at sisigawan pa sana siya nang nakita kong nagdala na naman siya ng lalaki niya dito sa apartment.

"Jeymi! Who the hell is that?" I asked then I glared at the guy that she was holding on to. Minsan nandidiri rin ako sa kaibigan ko eh, kung kani-kanino kasi sumasama.

"This? This is Nixon. Got him from the Gangsters World. You should come next time, andaming pogi roon," sabi ni Jeymi then winked at me. Inirapan ko siya at napatingin naman doon sa lalaking kasama niya. Nakangisi ito sa akin and I think he was checking me out.

Agad akong nagtago sa likuran ng pinto since naka-shorts lang ako at tank top, pambahay na suot ko. Mas lumaki ang ngisi niya sa akin nang bigla akong magtago.

"Jeymi, ilang beses ko na bang sinabi sa'yo, don't bring any strangers in!" inis kong sabi.

"He's harmless, Heaven. Calm your tits. And besides, he's hot," humalakhak si Jeymi while nasapo ko naman ang ulo ko.

"Whatever! Just clean up after you're done with whatever you're doing, okay?" I added at sinarado ng malakas ang kwarto ko.

"She looks like an angel but she's fierce! Who's your friend, Jey?" Narinig kong tanong nung lalaki kay Jeymi. Agad akong napailing.

"Oh, stop thinking about her. She's innocent as a baby. And don't think about touching her, 'cause I'll break your bones if you do," banta naman ni Jeymi.

Nakangiting lumayo ako sa pintuan at humiga sa kama ko. Ganyan ang kaibigan ko. She may not look like she care, but she does, and I love her for that.

Hindi ako nagsisisi na naging kaibigan ko siya, pero sana hindi na lang siya naging gangster. Yup, gangster. Gasgas na ang word na 'yon. But they still exist.

I'm not one of them, but all of my friends are. Ni hindi ko naman kasi alam na gangster pala itong kinaibigan ko. But they're not so bad. H'wag mo lang silang babanggain because they turn into ferocious devils.

I flinched nang narinig ko ang mga ungol ni Jeymi. This is one thing I didn't like about her. Kung sino-sino ang inuuwi niya from that. . . that place and then maggaganunan sila! I'm not that innocent but I certainly don't want them doing it live!

I gasped when I suddenly realize, they were doing it on the couch! Oh shit, lagot ako kay mama nito. Pero, once a month lang naman siya bumibisita. But still! Kadiri! I will never sit on that couch again!

Napatayo ako at nagdadabog na lumabas ng pinto. Halos mapanganga ako nang makita kong nakapatong na sila sa isa't isa. Nagtago ulit ako sa loob ng kwarto at tsaka sumigaw.

"Jeymi! Don't you dare do it on the couch!"

I heard her chuckle. "Sorry sweetie, I believe this is the second time I've done it."

Oh shit. I'm never sitting in that couch, ever.

After a few hours, nakatulog na rin ako sa kabila ng ingay na ginagawa nila. I shuddered with just the thought of it.

Pagkalabas ko ng pintuan, naririnig ko na ang mga ingay nila. This just means na kakauwi lang nung dalawa at umalis na 'yung ka-one night stand ni Jeymi.
