Sinfully Mine

Chapter 11

CHAPTER 11

THEY stayed at the cafe for a few minutes at hinatid siya nito sa eskwelahan. Hindi niya gusto magpahatid dito pero makulit si Enrico kaya wala na siyang nagawa. Nalaman niya kasi na ang klase lang nito ay 3. Mga subjects na feel niya lang daw itake. Iba din ang trip ni Enrico sa buhay.

Sobrang bored na bored siya sa klase ng biglang nagvibrate ang phone niya sa bag. Glancing around kita niya na halos hindi naman nakikinig ang kaniyang kaklase. Tinitigan niya din ng kaniyang prof na nakaupo lamang sa teacher's table.

Dahan dahan niya na binuksan ang cellphone niya at pangalan agad ni Enrico ang tumambad dito. Opening it napaawang labi siya sa text nito.

Baby

I'm bored :(

Then go amuse yourself elsewhere Enrico sagot niya dito.

I can't. My sunshine is not here with me.

Naningkit mga mata niya sa sagot nito. Sunshine? Sinong sunshine?

She was his girlfriend tapos ngayon naghahanap ng iba. Ay bwisit lang?

Sinong sunshine? May bago ka?

It wasn’t long before he replied.

Are you jelaous?

She scoffed and rolled her eyes at him. Hindi naman siya nagseselos. Ayaw niya lang ang sa mga tao na di tumutupad sa usapan. Kanina lang nag-uusap sila ng maayos. Tapos ang bilis nito makahanap ng bago?

Whatever. Next time, if you plan to end this arrangement, tell me. Hindi yung pasimple ka na nagmemention ng mga sunshine mo. Maiwan ka nga diyan!

Gusto niya ito kurutin. Kitang siya ang girlfriend nito ngayon tapos ipapamukha sa kaniya na may gusto ito na iba. Ang gago lang diba? Naninikip pa din siya sa galit ng bigla na naman ito nagtext.

Baby, are you jealous?

Hindi niya ito nireplyan. Nagvibrate uli phone niya.

You are!

Don't worry ako ay sayo lamang.

Her cheeks flamed and a unknown feeling settled in her chest. Umiling siya at mabilis ito na nireplyan.

Excuse me hindi ako nagseselos at kung ayaw mo na ko maging girlfriend magsabi ka para makahanap ako ng pampalit sayo!

Ilang segundo lang ng pagsend niya dito, tumunog ang telepono niya at madali niya ito na dinecline. Enrico was calling her. Hindi niya ito pinansin at pinatay ang kaniyang telepono. Galit siya dito.

Her professor asked them to pair it into groups for a case analysis. She looked around for a pair and caught the eye of the basketball player, Laszlo. She heard great things about him. Hindi naman daw ito flirt.

“Hi. Pwede ba partners tayo?” tanong nito. She nodded her head. “Okay lang ba sa boyfriend mo?”

“Oo naman. I’m not a thing to be owned by him.” She told him “Kaya umupo ka na at simulan na natin ito.”

We decided to split the work. This way mas mabilis kami matatapos. Nakakalahati pa lang naming ang case ng magring na ang bell signalling the end of class.

“Sige. Chat mo nalang ako para tapusin natin ito.” she smiled at him. Tumango naman ito. He was a nice guy.

Hindi na niya ito pinansin pa at lumabas na. Slipping her phone out, she opened it and noticed had 20 missed calls from Enrico. She was about to open her messages nang bumunggo siya isang matigas na bagay.

Or sa matigas na dibdib ni Enrico. She inhaled the familiar scent of her clogne. Her body freezed and her breathing became ragged. Napaangat siya ng kaniyang ulo at kita niya ang nag-aapoy na mga mata nito.

“What are you doing here?” she asked him, still stunned in seeing him. Akala niya may trabaho ito? His gaze slid to her phone and his unread messages. His eyes darkened.

“Why weren’t you answering my calls?” he demanded.

“I was in class.” She snapped at him. “Hindi ako 24/7 available to reply to you Enrico. And I have a choice to reply or not to reply to you.”

Nag-igting ang panga nito bago nawala ito. He looked pained and hurt. “Did you looked for someone else?”

“Ha?”

Sakto ay lumabas sa pintuan si Laszlo. “Gigi I forgot to ask for your number…”

Napahinto ito ng magtama ang mata niya sa aming dalawa ni Enrico. His face paled and I turned towards Enrico’s face. His nostrils flared and I see the annoyance in his face.

She was ready to explain when he clasped his hand with hers and pulled her away from Laszlo.

“Come with me.” he gruffly said as they headed to the parking lot.

She looked back at Laszlo with an apologetic grin. All the while their schoolmates were looking at them. By now, they’ll know that they’re dating. Pero wala siyang pakialam dito.

What she wants it to talk to this man.

"Enrico bitawan mo ako." pilit niya dito. Nang makaabot sila sa kotse binitawan siya nito. She was furious at him for dragging her like a doll. "Ano ba ang problema mo?"

“Are you ending our arrangement?”

“Ako pa talaga ang tinatanong mo niyan?” mapakla siya na natawa “Asaan ang babae mo?”

“What? I don’t have any girls.”

“Sunshine! Kanina sa text!” she cried out “Do you want proof?”

“f**k!” nasapo niya ang sintido bago na tumititig sa kaniya “I was referring to you. You’re my sunshine. I thought it was nice riling you up but when you mentioned finding another man, I snapped.”

“So, kapag ako may minention na lalaki magiging territorial ka nalang? What kind of action is that?”

“No. I didn’t mean it to be that way.” Malungkot niya na sagot. He shook his head and closed his eyes tightly “It’s just that I didn’t liked the thought of another man with you. We have an arrangement and I’ll let you make your own choice after it. But right now, akin ka lang muna.”

His eyes looked torn and pained. A slow mirthless laugh fell on his lips and shook his head. He wrapped his hand on my back and pulled her close to him. Natahimik siya bigla sa frustration sa mga mata nito. He gently cupped her cheeks with his other hand.

"I won't let you get away from me, baby." Enrico deeply said. His eyes imploring her the depth of his emotions. Nalulusaw siya sa mga titig nito. Her lips parted and her head grew hazy "Hindi ako papayag na ipagpalit mo ako. Once you said yes to a Bernardini there's no turning back."
