The Possessive Sociopath

CHAPTER 12

Chapter 12: Special Delivery 

Reeve Lowel's Point of View 

"They look so happy." Bulong ko habang nakatitig sa litrato sa aking phone. I am scrolling with my Instagram account when I saw Erin's post. It was a picture of her and Stevan, laughing with each other. With a caption: happy to have you.  

Hindi ko maiwasan mainggit. That is supposedly my place. I should be the one who's with Stevan, having happy memories. Unti-unti na naman bumuhos ang aking mga luha. I am really pathetic. I just love a man who find happiness in other girl's arms. 

They are happy while I'm stuck being sad. I am in my room, just scrolling to my social media account. It's been three days since I left Nikos' office. Good thing, I never see him again. I never been so thankful to Nikos but I know that he's dangerous for me. Specially when I keep on comparing Nikos to my previous boyfriend. 

How I wish to meet someone who truly cares for me. 

Their wedding is set the day after tomorrow. The bitterness I am feeling makes me weak. They are starting to have a family of their own. Matagal ko na iyong pinapangarap sa piling ni Stevan. Why did he choose to cheat? 

"I want to be happy, too." Sabi ko sa sarili ko habang tinitingnan ang photos nilang dalawa. Stevan's IG account is different from before. Kung dati mukha ko ang mga posts niya, ngayon naman ay mukha ng magiging pamilya niya. Dahil sa inis, dinelete ko ang mga pictures naming dalawa mula sa phone ko at sa lahat ng aking social medias account. 

I tossed my phone in my bed. I don't want to be see how happy they are. It's so annoying. 

Sila na nga itong nanloko, sila pa itong masaya. Pero ang mas kinakainisan ko ay ang aking sarili. Magaling lang ako sa salita, magaling lang akong mangaway sa aking isipan pero kapag kaharap ko na sila ay para akong tumitiklop. Nagmumukha akong kawawa. 

Just like what happened these past few days when I saw them in the company. I want to punch Stevan and grab Erin's hair but what did I do? I even congratulate them in their upcoming wedding! I am a such pushover! 

"Reeve, nandyan na siguro yung inorder natin na pizza. Buksan mo na 'yung pinto." Rinig kong sigaw ni Colleen sa labas. I dried my tears using my shirt and grab my wallet. 

Agad naman akong lumabas sa aking kwarto at dumiretso palabas upang mabuksan ang pinto. Dahil tamad kaming magluto ni Colleen ay napagdesisyunan namin na magorder na lang ng pizza para sa aming dinner. Lalo na at ngayon ay wala akong ganang kumain.

I am just staying at my room, crying my eyes out and consistently questioning my worth. 

I opened the door, uninterested. 

"You're the one who ordered the pizza, aren't you?" 

"N-nikos?" Gulat na sambit ko nang makita ko si Nikos na may dalang dalawang kahon na pizza. 

Nikos Stanislaski's Point of View 

Reeve Lowel is being difficult. But where's the fun if is she's easy to have? My life is becoming a series of routine and it was ordinary, too easy. When I meet Reeve Lowel, I have this urge to change my lifestyle. What I needed was a change of scene, a distraction. And Reeve Lowel happened to be a distraction for me. I needed challenge. Tapping my fountain pen, I rose from sit. 

It's been three days since Reeve Lowel started to linger in my head. I am at my office in my condominium doing my work. The room is not particularly cheerful. Inside my office was full of littered books, all read and re-read. I am tempted to pull one out now and bury myself into but I can't seem to focus.
