Scurrilous Affair

His Girlfriend

Great!

Sinisikap kong maupo. Ganoon ako nang maabutan ni Shawn. He is quick that his hands curled around my waist and carried me back on the bed— his bed.

"What are you doing? Kanina ka pa gising?" Kinaskas niya ang dalawang palad niya bago idinikit sa noo ko ang isa at ang natitira ay sa kanya. His pitch black eyes bore for a second on mine, then it smiled. "Wala ka ng lagnat."

Speechless, I found myself looking on his disturbing body. As if I didn't see them to my boy cousins. Actually, Shawn's body is more matured with them, but he looked young. Maybe I can pair him with my cousin, Millicent Hilton.

He crouched and leveled my sight. Tinaasan niya ako ng kilay. "Nagugutom ka na ba?"

"I want lemonade with turmeric ginger. Do you have a mint leaves? Add them please."

He glared at me. Blinked many times, then he barked a laugh. "Anong akala mo sa akin tindahan?"

I watched him laughed. I don't understand him. I didn't remember I am good at joking but the way he laughed made me feel embarrassed and weird.

"Teka— " Muli niyang hinipo ang noo ko at ikinumpara sa kanya. "May sinat ka pa. Ano nga ulit ang kailangan mo?"

"Lemonade with turmeric ginger and mint leaves."

"Sige. Bibili ako." Tumalikod ito sa akin upang buksan ang drawer sa side table. Kinuha niya ang kanyang wallet at susi. "Mabilis lang ako. Ano pang gusto mo?"

"Uh—" I stopped when I realized I need more, maybe he can buy it for me. "Are you sure?"

Mayabang siyang tumango.

"I need a body wash and scented candles. Check the McCloy Essentials for women, I want the lavender. As well as a face mask, the one with vitamin E and aloe extract. Those are important, don't forget it. Buy me chips too, I want the organic made. And yeah, buy me a clean underwear. I only wear, Swizz Chic, VS or La Senza. Thanks."

Tumawa siya. Halatang may gustong sabihin pero sa huli ay piniling magkamot ng batok. "Kung isama nalang kaya kita?"

"How can I walk? You see my leg. And besides, I still have a fever."

He sighed. "Fine."

Umalis siyang may binubulong. Nagkibit balikat ako at sinikap na tumayo. Binuksan ko ang balcony at tinanaw ang magandang hardin sa gilid. Nakita ko si Shawn na may kausap na dalawang babae. Naka-gray t-shirt na siya at may sombrero na suot. Mukha siyang problemado o kung ano. Ilang minutong pag-uusap ay umalis na siya. Sumakay sa kanyang Dodge Challenger.

Umalis ako roon at inisip ang aking cellphone. Nakita ko ang aking bag sa side table. Lahat ng gamit doon ay basa. Ang aking cellphone ay nakapatay o baka sira? I sighed, sat down and thought of Drew.

Muling pinipiga ang puso ko sa alaala niya na natunghayan ko kagabi. Nakakadiri. Nakakasulasok na nagagawa niyang makipag-sex sa babaeng hindi niya kilala, ang totoo hindi ko alam kung baka iyon talaga ang girlfriend niya. I don't care for the label, we are done. But the most disgusting is that he is in public while doing sex. I cringed as I recalled those horny peasants.

Hindi ako ang babaeng kasiping niya, pero pakiramdam ko ako iyon. At nandidiri ako sa sarili ko. I should visit a doctor regarding this, but I should hide it with my mom or anyone from my family. I clutched the nearest pillow on my side and thought about my disappointed family.

Wala akong mukhang ihaharap sa kanila.

Tears pooled on my cheek. I believe in the fairy tale because I am the living princess of family Agonzillio and Hilton Clan. Everyone looked up with me. My cousin protected me from my suitor, yet there is a shade of darkness in my body and I got blinded by that. I am not a princess anymore. The clean dress I am wearing is tainted with dark secrets, no matter I tried to look pure I know I'm not. This is purely lying. What a scurrilous secret affair.
