Taming The Spoiled Brat

10

I woke up without seeing their presence in the house. I knew it, they were gone before the sun could even show up. So I decided to call my boyfriend. A hidden boyfriend - specifically. "Hey babe, what's up?" He asked. Narinig ko ang pagtayo niya sa kama and his husky voice na halatang kakagising lang.

"Oh, did I disturb you?" I asked. He just chuckled. "No, not really. Why did you call? Is there anything a problem?" He confusedly asked. I just threw myself on the couch and lay there lazily.

"Wala naman. Can we go out? Parents wasn't here, maid also. So it was boring being alone here..." I roam my eyes around to see if anong pwede gawin dito sa bahay. Pero wala talaga.

"What about your friends? You have friends, right?" Here we go again. He would always bring sol and duke because marami daw akong time sakanila sakan'ya wala. che, mas madami pa nga siyang time kesa sa dalawa.

"They're busy," I simply said habang pinaglalaruan ang mga daliri.

"You don't have school?" Nahihimigan ko ang pag ka inis sa kaniyang pagtanong.

"I don't want to." Bored na bored na sabi ko.

"Okay, let's go." Parang labag pa sa loob niya, ha. Pero hinayaan ko nalang.

The doorbell rang, which means, he was already here. My secret boyfriend. Ravi Apollo Hills. The son of the owner of the Hills INC.

Actually, we just started dating for a couple of months. And nakilala ko lang siya dahil sa isang friend ko.

"Looking great," he reached for my hands and kissed them. He loves to do this when we were going to meet each other. And I love that.

Even my two close friends, sol and duke don't even know this. I'll just let them know when the right time comes.

Humawak ako sa braso niya at inalalayan ako palabas. Oh, he also did bring his ferrari too.

I was expecting him to open the door for me but no, instead he wear his sunglasses and hop in first.

"What are you still doing there? Hop in!" He rolled down the window at binaba pa kaunti ang salamin sa may tungki ng ilong niya.

"You're not going to open the door for me?" I scoffed in disbelief.

He just beeped at me, this guy was so unbelievable. "Whatever," bulong ko sa sarili ko at umirap nalang sa ere.

"Where are we going?" I asked while on my phone. "Lunch." Maikling ani Niya.

"So... What are you doing these days?" I looked at him but he just shrugged his wide shoulders. "What?" I said while copying his moves earlier. "Nothing, just busy with business," he said, with no expressions.

"You?" Pagbabago niya ng topic at lumingon siya sa'kin habang traffic pa. "Me?" I pointed at myself. "Aren't your 2nd day at your new school?" He has some point, but... it was so boring at school. Plus the subjects.

"Yeah, It's just... kinda boring." Walang gana kong sabi. "You're not talking to any boys from your school naman?" Pinaandar niya ulit ang sasakyan dahil nagsimula na magsiandaran ang mga sasakyan.

"What the hell are you asking? Of course not!" I denied. Ni tignan nga sa mga lalaki do'n hindi ko magawa, ang papangit naman do'n. "Are you sure?" Magkasalubong na ang mga kilay niya kahit hindi ito nakaharap sa'kin kitang-kita ko at nakikita ko na ang higpit ng hawak niya sa manibela.

"Why are getting mad?" I looked at him, annoyed. "Then why are you still talking to duke?" He park the car sa tabi at humarap siya sa'kin, galit na galit.

"What?" I looked at him in disbelief and was disappointed in him. He's my friend, why he's like that? He's been my friend since we were a child and he knew that! So would bring up duke?

"Are you even hearing yourself right now?" I almost shouted. "You know that duke was my friend since we were kids, so why would bring him up here?" I was controlling myself but he's being OA again. "You know what, I don't want to with you right now." I said, and then sumandal ulit ako at pinikit ang mata ko.

After some minutes, I can't handle this awkwardness between us. "Stop the car, Rav." I calmly said. Without thinking twice, he parks the car. "Hey, where are you going?!" He shouted as I got out of his car. I just slammed the door and left without saying anything to him. And he just left me like that. "Hindi manlang ako pinigilan." I muttered.

I just booked some grab and decided to go to the mall. I just want to buy myself a gift.

"Are you Ms. Dianna Keir?" The driver asked me as he rolled down the window.

"Yes," I said and go to the backseat.

While I was playing some games on my phone, sol called. "Hey, where are you?" Halatang nasa cafeteria siya dahil sa maingay ang background, pero naririnig ko pa naman boses ni Solis dahil malakas naman boses nito.

"Going to the mall," I said while looking out the window, not until I saw something no, someone. Someone familiar. Napa-upo ako ng maayos at iniisip kung sa'n ko siya nakita. He's tall and I saw his eyes, it was teal- "Hoy! Are you even listening?" Sol shouted. I blinked twice. "Huh?" I asked while my mind was still stuck on that teal blue eyes.

It was him. The guy who's kissing the girl at the outside of the comfort room and the guy na naiinis si duke no'ng tumakas kami because pakielamero siya. My lips parted in shock as I completely puzzled about who's that teal blue eyes guy. That's why he's so familiar to me.

Wait, no way! He's studying at the Villanueva university too?! Putcha...

Napabalik lang ako sa senses ko nang tumunog ang cellphone ko na means sol hanged up the call. After she hanged up, she messaged me.

From: Sol

Nice talking.

She said, napakunot ang aking noo.

To: Sol

Lol, I can't even hear you because of the noise in the background.

Pagdadahilan ko. Hindi ko na siya hinintay na mag reply because tinawag na ako ni kuya driver saying that we already arrived. "Thank you," I said before closing the door.

Dumiretso na ako sa loob because it's getting hot again. Hindi na naman natuloy ang lunch namin ni Ravi kaya i'm just going to eat alone nalang ulit. hays.

Bago ako makapunta sa gusto kong makainan, napadaan ako sa dior. It looked like they have a new stocks that I want. Pumasok ako sa loob and they greeted at me while I just passed at them busy looking for the new stocks.

"Do you have a new stock of this Large Dior Essential Tote Bag?" I asked the saleslady beside me.

"Yes ma'am." She simply said. "What color do you have?" I asked while busy checking the bag that completely caught my attention. "Black and white po ma'am." Hmm... black and white, I prefer black but mom like white bags. "I'll get those two colors." I looked at her. "This way po ma'am." she guided me to the counter. "That will be 343,914 pesos ma'am." Pinakita niya sa'kin ang total to make it sure.

"Cash or card po?" Buti nalang I bring some extra money because I didn't bring my card today. Akala ko kasi maglilibot lang ako dito but I guess no. "Cash." I simply said and kinuha ko na ang wallet ko to ready the cash.

"Thank you, ma'am." The saleslady said as she handed the two paper bags. And after that, kumain na ako.

As I was eating mom called. "Hey mom," My mouth was still full saying that. "Where are you?" she asked. And rinig na rinig ko ang tunog ng eroplano. "Ah... Nasa school...?" Nag-aalinlangan kong sagot. s**t, I forgot that she knew that I was goin to school.

"Oh, I see... Can I talk to duke?" Patay, Mag-isip ka dianna! "Ah... Mom, duke is in the comfort room..." Pagpapalusot ko, again. "Oh, Okay. Bye, I need to hang up na." She said looking in a hurry.

"Bye mom, take care." Binaba ko na ang tawag at napahinga ng malalim. "Muntik na," I whispered and continue eating like walang nangyari.
