Chasing The Bad Girl

K5

I look at the guy who is just looking at me intently while standing at the back of the doctor who's applying ointment on my forehead. I just look straight in his eyes as well. Pinaningkitan ko ito ng mga mata dahil hindi parin matinag ang pagtitig sa akin.

What the heck is his problem?!

"This is already fine Ms. Alarcon. Hindi naman ganoon kalala ang sugat. But I'm afraid it will leave a scar."

Bago pa ako makapagsalita ay naunahan na ako ni Dela Vega.

"Thank you doctor." He said. Kunot-noo kong sinundan ng tingin ang paglabas ng dalawa.

Napahawak ako sa sugat ko na nakabalot na. Ngayon ko lang naramdaman ang sakit nito. I was really determined to push away those demolishing team. Kaya hindi ko man lang napansin na tinamaan ako ng bato.

"You'll still look beautiful even with a small scar."

Napabitaw ako agad sa pagkakahawak ko sa sugat nang marinig ko ang baritonong boses ni Dela Vega. I composed myself and get my shoulder bag at tumayo na para sana makaalis na.

"Thank you for the help Mr. Dela Vega." I said.

"Landon will do" he said.

"I don't do first name basis. That's so unfortunate of you. " I said. Tumawa lang ito na para bang may joke akong sinabi.

"Feisty. The last time I saw you, you were like so startstruck to see me. Look at you now. You are...different." He said. Pero medyo nagtaka ako sa sinisigaw na emosyon ng mga mata nya. Is he sad?

"Why so dramatic Mr. Dela Vega? Fine. Landon it is. Baka kasi magbigti ka pa kapag hindi ka natawag sa pangalan mong malakas maka-A Walk To Remember." I said mockingly. He laughed.

Akmang maglalakad na ako nang harangan ako nito. Pinagtaasan ko ito ng kilay.

"What?" I asked.

"I want to see how beautiful you are at this closer view just like the last time I saw you." He said. That made me smirk.

"Ang dami mong pathrowback, hindi naman thursday ngayon." I said. Napasimangot ang mukha nito.

"Fine. Hindi ko matake ang mga hirit mo. After you my queen." He said while giving me way.

Nakasunod lang ito sa akin palabas ng ospital. Saglit akong natigilan at napalingon sa kanya nang may maalala ako. Well that move I did made him a little bit surprise dahil halos magkalapit na ang mga mukha namin.

"Oh shit!" He cursed sabay layo ng kaunti. I managed to hide my amazement when I saw how red his face is.

"Landon. If you don't mind me asking, bakit ka nasa Brgy. Tomasino kanina?" I asked. I was really surprised that he was there. I mean, casino ang business niya bakit siya mapapadpad sa ganoong lugar?

I noticed he was composing himself for a second by looking away from my direction before answering.

"Let's just say that...I felt my queen was there." He answered. I rolled my eyes. Wala ka talagang maasahang matinong sagot sa mga cassanova na gaya niya.

Agad kong namataan na ang driver ko na kinuha agad ang bag ko at isinakay sa sasakyan. Nakabukas na ang pinto ng kotse nang lingunin ko ulit si Landon.

"I didn't know you have rosy cheeks." I said.

"W-What?" He asked. Kamag-anak pa ata ng secretary ko ito.

"It means you're blushing. " I said then leave him puzzled with what I said. I could say, natuwa ako sa kanya. Marunong din palang magblush ang kagaya niyang playboy?
