Dagger Series #3: Unscripted

Chapter 2: Trouble

"So who's the actress that pissed you off this time?"

Napadiretso ako at kumurba ang mas malawak na ngiti sa mga labi ko. Nilingon ko ang nagsalita na inaasahan ko na kung sino. I could never forget that voice. Kahit nga sa panaginip ko ay binibisita ako ng boses na iyon kahit pa nga tatlong linggo na ang nakararaan mula nang huli ko siyang makita.

"Piece Dawson," I said as a greeting. "Fancy meeting you here."

Blangko ang ekspresyon sa mukha na bumaba ang tingin niya sa ayos ko bago muling bumalik ang mga mata niya sa kotse na ngayon ay may malaking pirma ko at may cute na pusa pa na lagi kong dinodrawing kasama ng pirma ko sa fan meet events ko.

"You know that's a crime right?"

I shrugged, "It's worth it."

"Someone made you angry that bad?"

"If you mean by bad is that my boyfriend of seven months was dating me at the same time he's dating a model? Then, yes. It's also the boyfriend who I gave a chance because he said that his grandmother was dying. I mean, come on? How could I break up with the guy who's about to lose someone? I'm not that heartless."

May kung anong nagdaan sa mga mata niya pero kaagad din nawala iyon bago ko pa maproseso kung ano iyon.

"He cheated again," he stated rather than asking.

"I was already expecting it. Hindi ko nga lang inaasahan na hindi naman pala siya sa pamilya niya pupunta. He went to the US with the model kasi may fashion show ang babaeng iyon doon. Because he's stupid, he forgot that my best friend is a supermodel who's also attending the show." Pakiramdam ko ay muling nag-alab ang inis ko nang maalala iyon. I can't believe I gave him a chance. To think na dapat makikipaghiwalay na ako sa kaniya three weeks ago. "He can't have the balls to break up with me? Then I'm doing it for him now. But I'm doing it my way, my terms."

"What happened to his grandmother?"

Naniningkit ang mga matang tinignan ko ang sasakyan bago ko muling nilingon ang lalaki. "She's alive and well as we speak. She's not dying and she even didn't got hospitalized. The poor old woman has a cold but her grandson acted as if she has a terminal disease."

"And you're here, ruining his car."

"He's obsessed with this car more than he's obsessed with looking good, so yes, I am totally ruining his car." He always talk about gym as if that's the only interesting part of his life. Maybe it is though. And that awful fitted shirts he loves so he could show his bulky arms? Ugh. Tumingin ako sa itaas at umaktong nag-iisip. "It's better than the other plan. Arson is worst, don't you think?"

"It is."

Matamis na nginitian ko siya bago ako humarap ulit sa sasakyan. Ibinalik ko ang susi sa bulsa ko at may kinuha ako ro'n. When my hands found purchase, I pulled out my favorite brand of red lipstick and I stepped closer to the car. Inanggulo ko ang side mirror no'n at yumuko ako para magawa kong maayos ang paglalagay ng lipstick sa mga labi ko.

Nang matapos ay dumiretso ako at tinapunan ko ng tingin si Pierce at nginitian ko siya. "I think you should go. Baka mapagbintangan ka pa."

Imbis na umalis gaya ng inaasahan ko ay nanatili lang siyang nakatayo di kalayuan sa akin. He crossed his arms as if he's patiently waiting for me to show him what I plan to do. Alrightie. Maybe this is interesting for him.

Kumapit ako sa hood ng sasakyan at kinuha ko ang isang paa ng Louboutin ko at walang pag-aalinlangan na malakas na hinampas ko iyon sa salamin ng sasakyan. I could buy more if I want to. The car instantly made a loud noise when I set off the alarm but I ignored it. It took me four more times before the window of the car shattered. I should email the company of this shoe. Ang tibay.
