"Mycs, I never loved you. I am sorry but I know I made it clear before, right? I don't love you, Myco. I am sorry."
"Bullshit, Dennise. How can you not love me? Okay naman tayo sa parents mo, 'di ba? Den, your parents love me."
"They do, Mycs. I don't. Sorry."
And with that, Myco lost his discretion. He grabbed Dennise by her arm again firmly. She winced and tried to shove him away but Myco was persistent. He brought his lips to her skin- to her cheek, nose, lips. He was being harsh. Never did once Dennise kissed him and never did she let Myco taste her lips. She slapped him hard but Myco showed no signs of respect, his hands started crawling under Dennise' blouse.
"Myco! Ano ba!"
"You love me! Say it! You still love me!"
"I don't!"
"You do, Den. You do," he insisted and this time, he caressed her cheek. "I am sorry I did that but listen, babe. Let's work it out."
It will not work out. Den liked Myco, he was sweet and caring, but nothing more than a friend and even if she wanted to have feelings for him just could not stand Myco's obsession- he is always jealous, always inquisitive. Since she started dating Myco, she felt like there were always eyes spying her, shadow tailing her and her freedom. The only reason she gave him a chance was because her Dad asked him too as Myco's dad is a long time family friend.
She could not think of anymore reason to cut Myco off until an idea appeared in her mind. She just had to make him believe they were long over.
She grabbed a random person and was surprised when she actually just tugged a lady in black tank top paired with a white high-waisted shorts and a plaid shirt wrapped around her waist. Of all the people and of all the guys, she had a girl locked in her arm.
The girl was also surprised she almost tripped but immediately, she regained her balance. She was now looking at Den with so much confusion and then her eyes met Myco's. She instantly realized the couple in front of her had a fight and based from Myco's cheek, he just got slapped really hard. She did not speak, though as she waited for an explanation to this scenario.
"Myco, I am in love with her. Hon," she squeezed the stranger's hand along with a nervous smile that says, 'please play along'. "Tell him, Hon."
