DON'T FALL | SB19 Fanfiction

Episode 9

Felip arrived with two mugs of hot chocolate and stood frozen when he saw the fun conversation Josh and Paige were having on the couch.

Felip decided to leave with the two mugs before Paige and Josh could even see him.

It would be a waste to throw the other mug so Felip decided to take it to the balcony, too.

"Ken, sinasaktan ka lang nya" (She's just going to break your heart, Felip) halfway to the balcony, Felip heard Frances' voice from behind him "Please, Ken. Wag sya" (Please, Felip. Anyone but her)

Felip, with a mix of confusion and irritation in his face, turned around and saw Frances leaning on the opposite wall.

Frances slowly walked closer. She was wearing something provocative that outlined the nipples of her implanted breasts "Ken, open your eyes. And look for someone who will never hurt you"

Felip's eyes briefly looked at Frances up and down and said "Ha?" (What?)

Frances grinned at how Felip tried to look at her body for a short moment. She thought that her trick was working "Erin loves you, Ken. Pero iniwan ka nya noon diba? And now, heartbroken sya? Karma nya yun. Wala kang kasalanan" (Erin loves you, Felip. But she left you years back, right? And now she's brokenhearted? It's so pathetic. It's not your hault)

Felip furrowed his brows before he washed the lump on his throat by taking a sip on the mug of hot chocolate in his hand "Mhmm"

"Grabe siguro yung sakit na pinagdaanan mo sa love" (Love must have been such a painful experience for you) Frances hugged Felip, her chest brushed his arm.

Felip was stunned by his body's reaction to it. He couldn't move "S-sakto lang" (It was alright)

Frances lips spoke while it touched Felip's shoulder. She's still not letting go of him "It's gonna be okay, Ken. I'm here. And si Paige? Hayaan mo na sya. Masyado lang syang--" (It's gonna be okay, Ken. I'm here. And that Paige? Just let her be. She's just--)

"-- Pwede wag kang magsalita tungkol kay Paige ng ganyan?" (-- Can you not talk about Paige like that?) Felip cut Frances off by brushing her off his arm gently.

Frances took a moment to figure out what went wrong with her plan.

"Pero bakit?!" (But why?!) Frances eyes were angry and brimming with tears as she looked at Felip once more "Bakit si Paige pa?! Tignan mo nga! Pinaglalaruan nya kayo! Iniisa-isa nya kayo! But Ken, I've been yours ever since I saw you! Bakit ba hindi mo makita yun?" (Why Paige? Can't you see that she's just playing with all of you?! But Ken, I've been yours ever since I saw you! Why can't you see that?)

Felip hates the feeling of rejecting people. He had always been careful with words. Because he knows that his honest mouth could cut anyone so deeply.

That's why he didn't know how he could say something like this to Frances "Ano ba! Sabing wag na magsalita tungkol kay Paige. Paulit ulit ka naman. Isa pa maiinis na ko sayo. I'm sorry pero kahit bigyan nyo ko ng sobrang daming reason para magalit kay Paige, wala akong pake. Ano ba talagang gusto mo?" (For christ's sake! How many times do I have to say it? Don't talk about her. Say her name one more time, I swear I'd be really pissed. Look. I'm sorry but even if y'all give me a hundred reasons to hate Paige, I don't care. What is it that you really want from me?)

Frances' eyes streamed unstoppable tears as she watched Felip fuming with so much temper "I just want you to love me back!!! Puro ka nalang Paige, Paige, Paige! Ano bang meron sakanya na--" (All this time it's been Paige, Paige Paige! I just want you to love me too!!! What does she have that--)

Felip just shook his head in disappointment to keep himself from saying meaner things and walked away from Frances who was left crying to her knees.

It looked like Felip was too soft when it comes to conversations about Paige.

Meanwhile...

"Sila na nga talaga noh?" (I can't believe it. They're really a couple now) Ivonne and Zae caught Josh and Paige snoozing on the sofa.

Josh's chin was tilted up as he fell asleep with the back of his head against the couch's backrest.

Josh's hand must have been patting Paige's shoulder while lulling her sleep. Because he had left his palm on her shoulder as he slept.

"Wala na nga akong chance kay Pablo, pati ba naman kay Josh?" (First, Pablo and now Josh? Don't I really have a chance with any of the two?) Zae's words were genuinely disheartened.

Her and Ivonne are trying their best to keep their voices so low that the cameras won't be able to get any of their conversation "Papansin naman kasi yan" (That bitch is getting in our way)

Ivonne glared at the sleeping Paige whose head was on Josh's lap "Beh. Di ako papayag. Pwede pa mag bago isip ni Josh" (Babe. We can't let this happen. Josh could still change his mind, you know)

"Paano?" (How?) Zae grinned like an evil genius.

Ivonne whispered the plan on Zae's ear "Simple lang. Voluntary exit" (It's simple. Paige's voluntary exit)
