Playing Dirty with My Stepbro (Book One)

02

I arrived at Starbucks at exactly 9:50 am. I saw Van at the second table waiting for me. I rolled my eye when I saw him talking to a waitress or should I say flirting.

Tsk that flirt jerk.

"Good morning babe" he greeted me and kissed me on my forehead. 

"Good morning" I greeted back, sana lang hindi halata sa mukha kong bwesit aq sakanya. 

"Oh wala ka yatang ka-date na iba kaya ako ang dinate mo" I sarcastically said.

"Hey I don't date anyone. I only date you" Sabi nya with matching kindat. As if you'll get me with that pakindatkindat mo na yan.

"Okay. Well Van we need to stop this fucking relationship" Well andito na din naman ako and this is really the reason why I agreed to meet him at the first place. Also na cricringe na aq sa paggiging sweet niya eh I now naman na he's cheating behind my back.

"Wait! Why? Did I do something?" He asked schocked. Sus magugulat pa sya eh alam naman niya sa sarili niya what he was doing.

Ask my butt jerk I thought to myself.

"You should be the one asking yourself if you did something because you really did. You're a cheater, a liar and a jerk. We're done." I said before leaving. I can feel myself crying na kac kaya umalis na ako. I don't want him to see me like this. Baka isipin pa niya mahal na mahal ko sya.

Pumunta ako sa kotse ko and there I continued crying. It's still hurt to be cheated on, when I first saw him kissing a girl. I began questioning myself. 

Am I not pretty?

Am I not enough that he need other girls? 

Those are the questions I always ask myself whenever I remember him kissing that girl who looks like a flag pole. Tama na nga kakaemote nde bagay sa tulad ko. JOK. I wiped my tears and called my human comforter, my BFF Gelli 

"Hoy Gelli free kaba mamaya?" Tanong ko sakanya at huminga ng malalim.

["Oo why? are you okay you sounded like a goat, umiyak kaba?"] Tanong nya. This girl talaga hayst.

"Yeah, katatapos umiyak Van and I are done. Break na kami. Break na kami ng gagong un." I said between my sobs, I just can't stop. Even if he's a jerk nagtagal din kami. We still have memories, kaya don't judge okay. Malditang may puso tawag sakin.

["Shhh, stop crying Pau, hindi sya kawalan you deserve better. Okay?. Do you want me to come over?"] She assured, I nodded even though she can't see me. 

 "No Gelli we should be happy, diba? this calls a celebration. Let's meet nalang sa club na lagi nating tinatambayan, my  treat." I said while wiping my tears. Gelli is right I shouldn't  be the one crying. Dapat si Van yun.

["Okay game ako dyan girl, just call me whenever you need me ok?. I'm here for you, you did nothing wrong sya ang nawalan hindi ikaw kaya stop crying."] sabi nya. I just smiled and ended the call and started driving.

She's right. Gelli is my childhood friend, our families and also families kaya para kona syang kapatid. She always got my back kahit noon pa. Kaya I really love this girl. She's indeed my human comforter.

One of the thing I do is I go to church everytime I'm lonely or in pain. This church is so calm and beautiful, I always day drea that one day. I'm going to have a weeding here, a weeding where I will marry the one, the one I truly love and belong. The one that will held me like a fragile diamond, a man that will love me as much as I love him. 

I still remember what my dad said when his still alive. 

"When you're hurt love always run to him." He said pointing at the sky. He was the purest person I knew but then fate have another plan.
