"Chance Sandoval?" I turned to the unfamiliar voice who called me. I didn't recognize the person because the bar was too noisy and the lights are dimmed. I only managed to pinpoint who she is, when she sat beside me. I didn't even know why she's here. Let's say, I was kind of shocked to witness the day that we'll interact personally other than just recognizing each other as 'business allies'.
"What are you doing at a bar in a time like this? Di ba kakatapos lang ng engagement party ni..." She trailed off before settling her gaze upon me, her eyes widening upon realization. Well thanks for reminding me.
"Oh my God, I'm sorry. Sorry talaga. Hindi ako nag-iisip." She chuckled nervously but for some reason, I was not that offended.
The damage is done so what's the apology for?
"So," She sighed then smiled at me, "Okay ka lang?" she asked. I rolled my eyes at her. I wanted to make a sarcastic remark but I chose not to. I continued my silence.
"Silence means yes daw, but it's a no for your case." She smiled while looking at me. I was getting irritated for some reason. I wanted to remove that smile on her beautiful face. Why can she be so happy right now? And I can't?
Is she mocking me?
Well, she's doing a great job on that. I am f-ucking pissed.
"Alam mo, dapat hindi ka na lang nagmumukmok ng ganito. You should find another girl and try to be happy." Easier said than done. I shrugged, as my gaze went to the people dancing provocatively on the dancefloor. I thought Eleanor was going to get it that I don't need anything from her, but I was wrong.
"Alam kong mahirap pero wala namang mawawala kung susubukan diba?" She even continued which made me look at her again. I made a face.
Why is she prying with my life? This is my d-amned life, do I need to remind her that? And we just talked for the first time!
"Are you saying that I should date you?" I scoffed. Not that I don't like Eleanor. She's pretty, I have to admit. And she's a d-amned hot lawyer but she's dangerous. Some part of her screams trouble and I've had enough troubles already.
She laughed before flipping her hair, "OA ka ha. Pero pwede namang ako, kaso I'm over-qualified kaya we'll try other women. Isang step para makapag-move on ka."
I shook my head. What the hell does she even know about moving on? I've tried moving on twice and it was difficult. It wasn't as easy as 1,2,3. I don't think I'm into the idea of dating again. Just the mere thought of dating or relationships whatsoever brings back all of my memories. Especially the terrible ones.
"Not happening."
"Well, you're straightforward." She chuckled. I continued staring at her. It seemed like she's having fun. Is she even enjoying this?
"Why are you doing this?"
