ELEVEN

Deceptive

Do you know what the human’s greatest fault in the life of someone important to him/her is when they die as attachment can’t differ the moment we parted? that was remorse. As that someone even if he did nothing good or bad to you, still! a big part of it was being in his/her life. And I am 'them.

The time we shared, I mean I’m pertaining to my boy–ex-boyfriend, was it kind of boring or was it just me? I’m trying to make it work! always! but he seems nonchalant if I opened up my feelings.

I am losing myself each day. But someone who found its way to my downfall state is no other than Seb. I prefer calling him that way not that we are close now but because of his name that has too many letters. It bothers me but he was just like my ex; nonchalant.

‘heck! why the hell am I even comparing them? tsk.’

I decided to go out of my room and instead of going to the kitchen, I went to my door enough to make me feel a bit anxious.

I slowly opened the door like wait a minute whaaat? WHAT IS IT AGAIN?!

“Hey! Are you okay?”

Standing in my door with his striking pose is no other than–...

“Leave me alone Seb! Why do you always pop out like a mushroom in front of my house?!”

I saw him smile sheepishly. Is this some kind of new “modus?” s**t. I remember I am not in the Philippines!

"I won’t tell you if you won’t allow me to enter your house first.”

"HA HA HA! I will not allow you inside my humble house if you won’t tell me your goddamn problem again that you are not making my day better!”

His lips protruded. He’s enjoying this I know what also ticked me off is his handsome, irritating face. why did God bother making a face like him? he is beyond the worst! or it lessened now from 50 percent to 10? Either way, he is at least not that annoying anymore.

“Fine. If you had forgotten because I didn't, you offered me dinner yesterday? right?”

He really looks forward to it but I should let him pay for ruining my supposedly better morning day.

“YES? But did I say that right now we will have our dinner? If I’m not mistaken, I told you that yesterday? Attorney?”

I saw how the line of his brows form in a full straight one. I always get on his nerves as he is to me.

"You know that as an Attorney, any form of agreement either verbal or written is considered as a deal. A valid agreement between two parties involved. Do you want me to show the evidence where you can also listen to it?”

I am being pushed and pulled in this situation. Right, he was not all talk but I’m getting tired of us talking outside or arguing? debating? yes. Might as well do it inside, not barking like a dog here.

I opened my door as an obvious sign of telling him to enter and he just smirked, leading his way inside as if he won an election campaign lol.

"So what’s for dinner?"

I still want to argue with him but numerous scenarios on how I can kill him without leaving evidence keep on playing inside my head that I decided to brush it all because I wanted to go to heaven.

I rummaged through my kitchen and saw what I can cook for my major visitor as if he pays me with my cooking skills!

"Are you not gonna cook right now? It’s getting dark outside! I might have a court trial later! I need to at least eat!”

He was getting on my nerves when he sounded like my bossy husband like eww! he has the looks but not a full package!

I chose to cook a well known “Sinigang na bangus” that I really like and taught myself its distinguished recipe since its origin; Philippines.

I am already missing everything about that country and maybe some other time after everything, I might possibly get home there. Not now, but not sure either! Hahah.

Thinking about how to poison my lovely visitor, it was too late as he neared me and got the ladle and scoop what I cooked for him.

“Wow! I know that you are Asian but didn’t think that you have the knowledge of cooking their specialty! I even smelled it from your living room! you are a good cook!”

“Shush! you are saying too much sweet tongue! just help yourselves! I’ll just wash myself and eat with you later!”

I am a bit overwhelmed but don’t wanna show it to him. I noticed that he likes Asian food. Maybe it was influenced by his exes! Like who knows?! And what do I even care about?

-

Changing into my night clothes after taking my 10 minute hot bath seems relaxing. I didn’t take a lot of my time in the comfort room or CR as I don’t wanna miss my food getting really cold.

“Seb? Where are you?”

I didn’t see him in the kitchen as I was getting myself my set of plates and food when I heard a knock on my door.Immediately in front of my door holding its knob, while I am catching up outside if it's a strange call..

"Heyyy!”

A pained voice from outside is what I heard and when I realized who it was, I opened it with concern written in my face as I saw Sebastian in his bent knees. browsing his appearance, he got worn out a lot in just a couple of minutes? what happens to his clothes even in his pants? a mark of scratch and small cuts to his body shows a lot.

“Sebastian?! Hey! Are you f*****g okay?! what the hell happened to you?”

"I’m fine—ne as you can see?” he sarcastically countered.

"yes, you are not fine but care to tell me what happened?”

He looks like getting more pained and a bit losing his patience? Why is that?

"what if you care to help me first to get in my car and go to the nearest hospital right now? I got into a fight so please? there’s a knife at my back! get it now!”

At first I didn't understand what he was talking about, like why do I need to get the knife from his back? I tried to hold him as he was now laying on the ground to prevent him from falling more. I did what he said but what shocked me is..

"is this blood?! what the hell Seb?! you got stabbed!”

"I know so please hurry up! I might lose a lot of blood because of you! now remove the knife at my back if you want to help me"

Getting shaking right this moment won’t do us good so I tried to focus and get the knife quickly from his back as if I was the one who stabbed him ‘cause this is s**t. I need to help him to stay awake for the meantime even covering the nonstop bloods flowing at his back as I quickly make a call to the ambulance and gladly it’s still not his time to die because there’s an ambulance near my condo village.

“THANK GOD! SEBASTIAN! you should explain everything ok? the ambulance is here! get a hold of yourself! please stay awake! don’t sleep! I’ll kill you!"

I was pinching his cheeks as he grunted looking at me. I finally saw the ambulance get ready and help us get Sebastian the first aid needed and everything.

The supposedly relaxing night for me as I imagined, it was now a vivid traumatizing one night experience with him. What if he spells danger? lol. He should not die!

What’s worse? I didn't get a chance to eat what I cooked. Ugh!!
