Chapter 1: Bad Day
"Kerko, I like you."
As expected, he didn't respond. As if he cares about my feelings. Those words came out of my mouth today because I can't stop myself from keeping it anymore, I want to tell him that I liked him from the very beginning.
"I don't like you," he coldly told.
And that's when felt a sting in my chest when he said those words. I already knew that because he didn't show any signs of liking me, he was always annoyed by my presence and that hurt me.
Reality hits. We can never get what we want.
"Why? Why don't you like me?" I asked Kerko out of nowhere. Why can't he like me?
"I . . ." he paused. "Don't like flirts."
My tears started falling from what he said. So that's how he sees me? He doesn't like me because he doesn't like flirts. Well, I admit, I have interacted with many boys but not the way I interact with him.
Then he started walking away from me, and he left. Is that how bad I am in his eyes?
Even though I want to follow him, he will push me away. So I walked back to my car and started the engine. I gripped the steering wheel and gritted my teeth. I swear, Kerko, someday, you will be mine alone, I promise that to myself.
I'm not obsessed or what, but I like him so much, it's just that he hates me because he thinks that I flirt with other guys and I'm a party addict.
I snatched my phone from the passenger seat and dialled Annie's number, she is my best friend and I usually go to her when I feel bad. "Hello, Annie?"
"Why did you call? Did something bad happen to you?" She said with a worried tone.
I sighed. "I was rejected by him . . ."
I'm still rejected. He never liked me. I thought I could get all the men I like but no, I can't get Kerko. He's unique and I love that.
"I already told you that you shouldn't have confessed your feelings to him. Now come here to the Yenshin bar and just drink beer for your problem," she advised. Yeah, she's right, I think I just need to drink.
I drove my car to Yenshin bar and walked inside. There were tons of people dancing and flirting everywhere, some of them were already making out on the left part of the bar where the lights were dimmed. Everyone is in their chaotic state and some are dancing wildly on the stage.
I went to the receptionist and asked for Annie's room, she said that she was just two doors away from the VIP rooms.
Then I found Annie flirting with some men inside the VIP room. This girl has never been contented with one. I simply shook my head and walked in her direction.
When she saw me, she immediately pulled me to the couch to sit. "Hey! Come here! Serve this miss!" She commanded to the man who was serving her drink, the guy just winked and went out while I grimaced when I saw him winking at my best friend.
"Roy, come here!" she said to the man who was wearing a thin t-shirt exposing his broad muscles a little. The guy obediently followed what my best friend said and went closer to us.
I whined in when she touched his naked abdomen and then pushed him to me. The man glanced at me and I saw him blush. I know that look, he likes me. Every man in this town was like that when I touched them.
Yes, all these men in this town like me but I can't get who I want, I can't make him like me. He's even ignoring me and treating me like trash!
"Just forget him and you will be okay!" Annie happily shouted and gave me a glass of beer. She raised the glass in her hand and screamed. "Cheers!"
I grabbed a bottle of wine and a glass and then went out to breathe. They said it's best to go drink by yourself alone on the balcony of the bar so I headed in the direction of the Yenshin's Bar balcony to refresh my mind.
When I got there, my hands automatically gripped the handrails and I leaned in to watch the beautiful city lights here in the Philippines.
But then I felt something strange, It was like someone was looking at me. I tried to look back but no one was watching in my second turn my eyes stopped when they met a pair of eyes.
That man is so f*cking hot and I can't believe he's looking at me like he wants to crawl on top of me. But I think why does he look like someone? Did I meet him before?
When I blinked my eyes, he was gone. Gosh, am I hallucinating? That man looks so hot and fine but why did he suddenly vanish? It was really quick.
"Well, the boyfriend stealer is drinking here alone on the balcony. Why? Don't you have someone to flirt with?" Sophia said in inclemency and even teased me.
She thought that I had stolen her boyfriend even though I didn't do anything. It was her boyfriend who flirted because when he saw me, he kissed me and that's when Sophia saw us. She thought I was the one who initiated the kiss.
"Why? Don't you have your boyfriend to f*ck on?" I responded. I saw how her face turned red in anger. She hates me for believing that I stole his ugly boyfriend.
She grabbed my hair and raised her hand. She was about to slap me when a hand stopped her palm. She gritted her teeth and looked at the man who stopped her but her facial expression changed when she saw his face.
She must be dazzled by the man who's gripping her arm right now. That man is the one who's watching me since I got here on the balcony. I admit, he's freaking handsome and hotter than my crush but- wait . . . why am I thinking this?
From his brown hair to his brown eyes and then his chest looks so hard, his nose is in perfect shape like L, and even his plump and pink lips. He is a perfect man for everyone, he's a Geek God.
"Stop fighting."
Fudge that voice! It's cold yet so hard. That baritone voice will forever mark my mind. He's the mister right of everyone!
He told Sofia to go to her table first before looking at me. He opened his mouth and was about to utter something when my phone rang. Shocks! wrong time!
My mom's name is registered on my phone screen so I answered it. "Hello, mom?" I slightly distanced my phone away from my ear to prepare to talk to my mom. I know her very next move.
"Callyanna! Come back here, there's a party you need to attend!" Her loud ear-splitting voice welcomed my ears. This is what I'm telling you! Her deafening screams irked me.
"Yeah, fine," I answered back and immediately ended the call because I saw that the hot man was still at my back. I don't want him to hear my mom's loud voice.
I looked at him from head to toe. "Do you need anything?" I asked.
He licked his lower lip and looked at me. Oh f*ck, that lips are tempting me to suck them right here.
"You have a stain in your pants."
My world stopped for a minute and then my ears and face turned red at that moment. Fudge! I forgot that this day is my red day! My face turned to a worried expression as I tried to look at the back of my pants and find the stain.
When I saw a red stain on my lower back, my heart fell. This is an embarrassing moment! I froze on my spot and sometimes looked at the man beside me. This is so freaking awkward. I can feel that my cheeks are blushing.
He released a sigh and walked closer to me while looking into my eyes. "W-what are you doing?" I stammered! My tongue flipped!
I saw how the left corner of his lips rose and I didn't notice that he removed his jacket before wrapping it over my waist. He tied it and tapped my tummy before leaning in making me flustered on the spot.
"What a bad day, isn't it?"
