Obsession: Marco De Luca

OBSESSION THREE

Marco and Myrina are walking towards the exit heading to the parking lot. She doesn't even know why she was being dragged by this man. Yes, she said she would pay but, him—dragging her out of the bar, is not needed. Hindi niya tatakasan si Marco kung iyon ang dahilan ng binata para hilahin siya nito palabas.

"Let's go to my car first. I need to change my shirt," Marco said without looking back at Myrina.

"No need to drag me, Sir. I'll just wait here," pagpigil ng dalaga sa binata at hinawakan ang kamay ni Marco na nakahawak sa isa niyang kamay para alisin ito.

"Marco," maikling tugon nito. "Call me Marco."

Marco turned his back to face Myrina who has clueless expression at that time. She didn't ask for this man's name. She's not even interested to know him, yet he introduced himself first.

"Okay, Marco." Myrina called him by his name. "I'll just wait you here."

Marco raised an eyebrow while looking at Myrina who just have a normal expression on her face. It's like giving a vibe like, Okay. I get it, Marco. Change your clothes now if you want before I pay you.

Marco chuckled. He's amused for the first time. In his mind, if this is just some ordinary girl who he dragged out of the bar and tell that he's going to change his clothes, that ordinary girl would take advantage of it to get into his car and make out.

"I think, you're missing something," panimula ng binata. "I just introduced myself and—"

"And you wanted me to introduce myself too, right?" pagtatapos ni Myrina sa sasabihin ng binata at napangisi naman si Marco. No woman dared to cut him off before. "I'm sorry but I'm not interested, Marco. I'm just here to pay you. That's all."

"Is that so?" Nakangisi pa rin na tanong ni Marco bago humakbang ng dalawang beses palapit kay Myrina habang nakapamulsa. Yumuko ng bahagya ang binata upang tapatan ang taas ng dalaga, ngunit tila ba wala pa rin na kahit na katiting na naramdaman si Myrina sa ginawang iyon ni Marco.

Myrina just stayed still with her blank expression.

"Yes," matapang na tugon ng dalaga. "My friends are waiting for me inside. I need to hurry back—"

Marco grabbed the lady's waist that made her stop from talking. Mula sa blankong expresyon, Myrina showed an irritated look, and her eyes are looking at Marco's hand on her waist before looking at Marco's face who's smiling devilishly.

"Excuse me?!" pagalit na wika ni Myrina bago tinulak nang malakas ang binata. "Mister, if you're in heat, I'm not interested. Go get other woman, and..." Myrina take out her wallet from her pocket and throw some one thousand pesos in the air—in front of Marco. "... here is the payment for your laundry and service. I hope not to see you again," naiinis na dagdag ni Myrina.

She's angry at Marco. Yes, she's thankful that Marco helped her earlier, but that doesn't give him the permission to touch her recklessly.

"I don't think so about that..." Marco replied pertaining to what Myrina said about no seeing each other other. "... Myrina."

Myrina turned her back from Marco and didn't bother to ask why he got her name and marched back to the bar's entrance.

Marco was left alone again, a smirk playing on his lips. He wasn't shocked—just surprised by what Myrina had done. Once she stepped through the entrance, he glanced down at the loose change scattered on the floor. She had thrown exactly ten thousand pesos.

"Tsk!" Marco muttered before he turns his back and head towards to his Bugatti Veyron.

Marco hopped in and grabbed his spare clothes before changing inside the car. He tossed out the shirt stained with vomit and leaned back, resting his head. Turning to look out the window, he stared at the entrance of the bar. A small laugh escaped his lips as he recalled the expressions on that woman's face.

Meanwhile, as Myrina got into the entrance, she walked towards to their table. Nang makalapit na si Myrina, napansin nito na tila dumami yata ang tao sa kanilang lamesa. She looked at the newcomers' faces and realized that those are some fuckers looking for some fun.

Pabagsak na umupo si Myrina sa kaniyang upuan at ang tanging nakapansin lamang noon ay ang kaniyang katabi na si Nicole.

"Hey girl!" pagtawag ni Nicole nang mapansin nito ang pag upo ni Myrina at ang madilim nitong aura. "Where have you been? Akala namin umuwi ka na kaagad nang hindi man lang nagpapaalam."

Myrina looked at her. She shook her head before scratching her hair. "Nag restroom lang ako because I need to throw up," pagpapaliwanag ni Myrina.

"Huh? But we just went there with Trinity. You were not there!"

Of course, it was just a lame excuse. As if Myrina would tell that Marco grabbed her out of the bar and touch her waist. No, she would never tell her that.

"Oh my! Maybe she had fun on her own!" Trinity chimed in, joining the conversation, which made her other friends notice her and start teasing her too.

"Woah!" Everyone said with proud and shocked expressions. "That right, Myrina. Enjoy your life! Ang daming lalaki sa mundo. Nakakapanghinayang kung mag s-stick ka lang diyan sa boyfriend mong si Jordan," natatawang wika naman ni Georgia.

Right. Myrina is in a relationship with her boyfriend Jordan for almost a year. Sa tingin ni Myrina, her and Jordan are perfectly fit for each other because of some of their similarities. It's just that, may ugali din naman si Jordan na ayaw ni Myrina kagaya ng sobra nitong seloso at masyadong dominant, but for her, it's normal and a form of protection and love.

"Shut up, Georgia!" Trinity said while laughing. "Sa ating lahat, si Myrina pa rin ang pinakamalinis, 'no! Huwag mo nang dagdagan ang kasalanan niya today."

"Come on, girls! Walang masama sa ginagawa natin basta ba hindi malalaman ng mga boyfriend natin! This is a girls' night out. We need to enjoy!" tugon naman ni Georgia habang may lalaki na humahalik sa leeg nito.

"We dare Myrina to kiss a random man, Georgia. That's enough na. Let's take Myrina out of dirty things. In fact, we were the one who begged her to come and join us." Nicole said.

"Boo! Mood breaker!" Georgia teased and the three of them laughed.

Myrina covered her face with both of her palms. That damn dare. She just did it to prove that she's not a kill joy and kaya niyang makisama sa biro ng mga kaibigan niya. Even though she doesn't really want to, napilitan na lang siyang gawin dahil na rin sa mga kaibigan niya. And now, she cheated on Jordan because of that. Worse thing is it was her first kiss. Her first kiss was Marco and not her boyfriend Jordan.
