Marrying My Destiny (COMPLETED)

Chapter 7: "Their Face-Off"

"Liam, how dare you say that to Destiny? Stop being a jerk and apologize to her right now!" His mother hysterically shrieked before I could speak up.

"No, no. No need for that, Mrs. dela Vega because it is okay. I agree with him about the hotdog eating contest. It sounds great actually, because Liam here, looks like the type of guy who has deep throated a lot of different hotdogs sizes at his age, he would be a good counterpart." I said smiling like Tom cat when he managed to trick Jerry the mouse. 'Take that jerk! Ano ka ngayon? Nagmukha kang bakla na expert sa felatio.', I said to myself.

I saw that Mr. dela Vega finally snapped out his daze at us then a puzzled and disbelieving look towards his son, who was now turning beet red sa ipupusta kong pinaghalong pagkapahiya at galit sa sinabi ko.

"Liam?" His father said in disbelief.

"No, papa!" He said.

Mas lalong lumawak ang ngisi ko at tinaasan pa sya ng kilay, silently challenging him to make a great come back.

"Uhmm, ayaw ko na pala ng hotdog. How about you guys get us some...let me think of something." My mommy butted in trying to break the tension in the air. "Mashed potatoes! Yes, mashed potatoes would be delicious." And she shoved me towards the direction of the buffet.

Lumakad ako papunta sa buffet at kumuha ng plato, I was about to scoop some onto my plate when a hand shot out over mine, making the scoop of mashed potatoes fall onto his plate. Surprised, I looked up to see who have the guts to do that and was not shocked to see the plate's owner who was standing next to me. Liam Jayden dela Vega, the one and only!

"Thanks, bitch." Liam mocked before he turned to walk back to our parents.

Ladies and gentlemen, that's all it took for me para magdilim ng tuluyan ang paningin. I totally hated it when people called me bitch, lalo at isang lalaki. Bitch na ba agad kung hindi lang nila nakuha kung ano man ang gusto nila? It's certainly not fair!

"Who the hell are you calling a bitch, you pansy sleaze?!" I yelled at the top of my lungs to his back. Wala akong pakialam kung nadinig ako ng lahat ng bisita, yun nga ang gusto ko. At mukhang sa pagkakataon na ito ay umayon sa akin si Bathala dahil napansin ko na lahat ng mga mata ay nakatutok muli sa akin.

Parang walang nadinig na dumiretso pa din ang hinayupak na si Liam sa mga magulang namin at inabot ang hawak na plato ng mashed potatoes sa mama nya, who was now gaping, horrified sa aming dalawa.

Akala ko nasindak ang mayabang na si Liam, kaya naman laking gulat ko ng pumihit ito matapos na kuhanin ng mama nya ang plato na inabot nya at mabalasik na naglakad pabalik sa akin. Now, we are face to face. I mean, I was looking up at him while he is looking down at me. Malaki nga kasi ang height difference namin, di ba? 6'3 sya at ako ay 5'3. At habang nakayuko sya sa akin ay kita ko ang pagtatangis ng kanyang mga bagang.

"What did you just call me?" He asked in a menacing tone and scarry face.

Aaminin ko, nakadama ako ng takot sa hitsura nya. Pero slight lang, guwapo naman kasi sya at hindi mukhang monster. Ang takot na nadadama ko ay dahil sa mukhang ano mang sandali ay babalatan nya na ako ng buhay o babalian ng mga buto. He looks really mad! Umatras ako ng bahagya pero umusog lang sya palapit.

"P-ppansy s-sleaze." Kanda utal na sabi ko. Umusok ang ilong nya sa pag-ulit ko ng itinawag sa kanya.

"What did you just call me?" Maangas nyang tanong ulit. Marahil dahil nais nya akong sindakin lalo. But enough! I should be the ever defiant girl that I am and put up with him.
