French Kiss in Paris

Chapter 6

Chapter 6

"Did you see what you did there, Mademoiselle?" ngisi pa ng hinayupak na ito sa akin. I'm trying to lessen the annoyance pero nakukuha niya pang kumbinsihin na inisin ako. Para bang natural na sa kanya 'yon. We met so he can be the devil who will make me feel so mad at the world all the time.

"Screw you, Cashel," I gritted my teeth. Pinipigil ko lang ulit ang mainis sa kanya. And I'm trying not to hit him again. Mabuti na lang ay walang gaanong tao sa paligid at walang nakapansin no'n. Only those people follow Cashel sees it obviously.

A moment later, napansin ko rin na nakababa ang bintana ng sasakyan at nadungaw si Adie roon. I immediately felt bad for treating her brother so bad pero mukhang deserve din naman ng mayabang na 'to. If I can hit him anytime, I would make it my job.

"Did you intend for me to do it?" I questioned him narrowing my eyes as if suspecting him for his bad agendas.

"No," he answered chuckling. Nang-aasar lang talaga 'to. And why did I fall for his sister's acting? Hindi ako uto-uto, gusto ko lang alamin kung anong nararamdaman niya pero sa ganito pala mauuwi ang lahat.

"Did you also put Adie on your little game?" I squinted my eyes.

"Yes," he admitted but still with a laugh remarks. "She quite likes it though. She's a very good actress, ain't she, Cosette?"

"Don't put your sister on your dirty tricks, Cashel. This is only between us. Ay naku talaga! Nakakagigil ka! Ang sarap mong bayagan!" The frustration just keeps coming out of me. Pinipigilan ko lang talaga. Ayokong ako pa ang maging masama sa harap ng maraming tao. Cashel, with almost a million followers on his hands, can manipulate the situation and turn it over to me. And I don't want that.

He keeps on laughing. Kung ang dragon sa loob ng sistema ko ay kumawala ng wala sa oras, lalamunin ko talaga 'tong buang na 'to. Buwisit!

"What are you saying?"

"It's none of your business," irap ko pa sa kanya. "Napaka mo. Ang demonyo naman ng ugali mo. Paano ka sumikat kung pinaglalaruan mo lang pala ang babaeng katulad ko. Hindi ako isang laruan," I crossed my arms and face sideways from him. He has to know that I'm pissed and mad at him. Obviously, halata na naman 'yon ng sinampal ko siya.

Inilayo ko ang tingin ko sa kanya kasi ayokong tingnan siya sa mata niya. May kung anong buong talaga ang mga mata nila. But I'm not going to make him fool me again. If that's kiss will make his name famous again and beautify his image, I'll be so damned kung tanggapin ko 'yon. So I won't. I've been there so alam ko na kung akong kalakaran ang meron sa ganitong industriya. Even if iba ito sa showbiz mismo, it has still the same structure.

A moment later, I notice that someone, not far from us is taking a picture of us behind the car.

"Teka si Toro ba 'yon?" I wondered.

"Did you say Toro?" Cashel inquired.

"Toro!" I shouted to call his attention. Bigla din naman itong lumabas sa kanyang kinatataguan at tumakbo papalapit sa amin. He then started taking pictures of us pero pinatigil ko siya at nilaylay niya ang camera sa kanyang leeg at umayos siya ng pagkakatayo niya. "Can you take a video of me?"

With a little confusion in his mind, tinanguan niya na lang ako. "Oui, je le peux." (Yes, I can.)

"Thank you," I grin glancing at Cashel. I fix my stance and clear the strands of hair covering my face. I cleared my throat before I started speaking.

"Qu'est-ce que tu fais?" Cashel questioned but I completed ignore his presence.

"Are you ready?" Toro asked and I simply bop my head. "Rolling," he announced.
