JHOANA
Many many days later
"Yuppie, oh asan na 1M ko? Haha"
Sati and I are in a call, at kinwento ko na lahat but not lahat naman na yung detailed haha
"Congratsss! Sige, bank transfer ko tomorrow" Sati
Fucking YES! HAHAHAHA
"Uy joke lang, balik ko rin sa'yo pag maganda game ko, nobody knows I might double it haha"
"Jho let's go?" Bea
"Bye Sati! Thanks" sabi ko kay Sati sa phone at binaba na
"Ready ka na?" sabi ko kay Bea
"Yes hehe" Bea
Nasa condo ko si Bea at dito siya nagpalipas ng gabi last night (you know what happened). Paalis kami papunta sa meetup namin nung nang-scam sa'kin mabuti at may balak pang magpakita. And labas daw kami ni Bea after the meeting
If we do sex we always use protection naman, so we're safe. Safe sex is the key
"Ok let's go na"
"Wait, I think you need this" Bea at pinakita yung band aid
"Ha? I don't have sugat naman"
"Your hickeys" Bea
For gahd's sake naglagay na ako ng concealer
"It's still visible?"
"Yes beautiful, so let me put this on you hmm?" Bea
Habang tumatagal kaming magkaibigan ni Bea mas nagiging sweet and caring siya sa'kin. Ewan ko kung dapat ba akong kiligin kasi crush ko?
"Edi covered na buong neck ko ng band aids mo"
"Hindi yan, trust me mmkay?" Bea
She gently sticks band aids na sa mga spots kung saan may hickey. Transparent naman yung band aid niya kaya ok lang
"There" Bea smiles
"Thankss, let's go na? The scammer might ditch our meetup haha"
"Yeah we should go na nga" Bea at inakbayan na ako palabas ng condo unit
BEATRIZ
"Siguraduhin mo" Jho to the scammer
"Oo ibabalik ko na, basta wag mo lang ako ipakulong please" scammer
"Ok so uhhh sir, please sign this agreement for legal purposes. You have a span of three weeks to return 300 thousand pesos to Ms. Jhoana, if you do not abide by the agreement, we will proceed with the lawsuit"
"Go attorney" Jho whispered, sabay pinisil yung legs ko under the table pero soft pisil lang naman
Agad namang pinermahan nung lalake yung agreement
"All for you Jho" I said in whispers after the scammer signed
JHOANA
"Thank you Attorney"
Bea is driving on our way to ewan kung saan niya ako dadalhin haha
"You don't have to say thank you ma'am, I have a service fee po" Bea
"What?! All this time I thought it was libre"
"Sorry but no" Bea
"Edi how much?"
"Just simply spread your legs and that's it" Bea
"Fuck you"
"We did it na po haha" Bea
Inirapan ko nalang siya
"Where are you bringing me ba? Ano 'to date?"
"Yup it's a date" Bea winks
"Eeewww kadiri"
Chos, crush ko kaya 'to. Crush pero hindi like duh that's different
"Kadiri ka rin, friendly date lang 'to noh" Bea
"Ah talaga, ok"
BEATRIZ
Nakarating na kami sa pinagdalhan ko kay Jho na restaurant, at nakaorder na rin kami ng food kaya kumakain na kami. But she's silently eating
"Jho, is there something wrong with the food? You're not eating well oh"
I don't want this to feel but it happened, I like Jhoana already. I am feeling something for her na but I don't know how to tell this, or should I still tell her about my feelings? Or it's so early to feel this ughhh it's so magulo
But no, this is wrong yata? What I feel for Jho is just a phase, mawawala rin to sooner
Jhoana is a player, every guy likes her at pinapatulan niya sila basta pasok sa standards niya. There's a big possibility that she's just playing on me
Na hurt rin ako sa sinabi niyang eww kanina huhu
"No I'm good na. Uhm Bea?" Jho
"Hmmm?"
"After we pay the bill just leave me here nalang, I'm going somewhere pa" Jho
"You're going to bar"
"It doesn't matter where am I going" Jho
"I'm coming with you"
"Wag na, mas sobra ka pa sa nanay ko sama ka nang sama" Jho
"Please"
"No, I wanna have fun tapos sasama ka?" Jho rolled her eyes
I just sighed in response
JHOANA
"Bye Jho, call me when you're going home na. I'll make you sundo" Bea
"Wag na, I can manage. Sige na, umalis ka na Bea"
Nasa labas na kami ng restaurant at pinapauwi ko na si Bea para makapunta na'ko sa bar, btw share kami sa bill kanina noh
"Ok bye, keep safe Jho" Bea
I just nodded kaya ayun umalis na siya
Hindi nagtagal ay dumating rin si Carly at dumeretso na kami sa bar
CARLY
"Broken ka noh? Haha"
"Gaga I've never been broke by anyone duh" Jho
"Weh pati kay Nico?"
"I miss him so so soooo much" Jho
"Edi dalawin mo"
"I always visit him naman but ever since Bea came......" Jho
"Hindi na"
Jho nodded
"Ano na ba status niyo?"
"Friends" Jho
"With benefits haay nako Jho"
"Girl she's hot" Jho
"Akala ko ba pang 1M lang si Bea?"
"Akala ko rin" Jho
"Nagtataka rin ako eh, bakit hindi kasama si Bea ngayon?"
Pag nagbabar kami these past few days sinasama kasi ni Jho si Bea
"I was slightly hurt when she said that I'm kadiri daw for us to go on a date" Jho
Tinawanan ko lang siya
"HAHAHAH what do you expect? Eh you're friends lang naman"
"Ok wag na nga lang" Jho
"Sus na deeply hurt ka sa sinabi niya. Be honest nga with me, do you have feelings for Bea?"
"Crush" Jho
"No, something deeper ganun"
"Yeah I g-guess? But am not sure" Jho
"Ahhh kaya ka naglalasing"
"No, it's not just about Bea but Nico too. I'm cheating on him, this is cheating. I fuck with other guys especially Bea for gahds's sake" Jho
"And I miss Nico so much, there are many many kwentos I wanna tell him but I can't. Ni hindi ko nga alam kung kilala pa niya ako" Jho added
"Syempre naman, inlove na inlove yung tao sa'yo tapos makakalimutan ka ng basta basta"
"Hey miss" sabi nung lalakeng lumapit kay Jho
"The fuck? You're so panget, go away nga" Jho to the guy
Umalis naman yung guy, ganito kami lagi as in lagi haha. Laging may mga sumusulpot na guys
"Grabe Jho ha? Ang harsh mo. Basta yang problem mo you have to figure out what's the right thing to do. Malaki ka na, alam mo na ang dapat mong gawin"
BEATRIZ
I'm waiting for Jho dito sa labas ng bar, I followed her friend's car kanina. Matagal na rin akong naghihintay dito sa labas
It's super late at night na at dun ko na nakita si Jho lumabas ng door. Lalapit na sana ako nang may sumunod sa kanyang guy, nag stop sila sa medyo gilid at dun na sila nag make out
Jho bakit ka ganito? Ang sakit mo sa puso huhu
I told to myself that I won't ever let any girl enter my heart again aside from Maddie, but Jho? Haayy ewan ko, ginugulo niya ako
After minutes nakita kong mag-isa nalang si Jho, baka tapos na sila nung guy. Where is Carly? Bakit hindi sila magkasama? Bakit mag-isa nalang si Jho?
Wala na akong pakialam basta lalapitan ko na si Jho, kaya tumakbo ako papalapit sa kanya
"Jho, let's go?" sabi ko at hinawakan ang wrist niya
"Why are you here? Wait I was calling for someone kanina eh" Jho with her drunken voice
"No, I won't let you go home with someone else but me. I'm taking you home Jho" sabi ko at binuhat nalang siya papunta sa car ko
"Heeyy bring me down" pag-aangal ni Jho
JHOANA
Medj drunk na ako pero alam ko parin ang nangyayari. Nagddrive na ngayon si Bea habang bantay sarado ako sa shotgun seat
"Bakit ka ba kasi sumunod?" iritable kong sabi
Nakakainis siya, lagi nalang niya akong sinusundan
"I'm worried for you" Bea
"Ok fine I get it, but you don't need to make bantay of me every single thing I do"
"Jho I'm guarding you from those guys na lumalapit sa'yo sa bar" Bea
"Why? Ayaw mong patulan ko? Eh kung gusto ko silang patulan may magagawa ka ba? Wala"
Hindi nakasagot si Bea sa sinabi ko
I don't know why I'm acting this way, maybe I just miss Nico. Yeah right I miss Nico, hindi dapat ako masaktan sa sinabi nitong Bea na'to
