He loves me, he loves me not

After I went to my ex-boyfriend house, my hands immediately called my friends. I’m still in London when he broke up with me through a phone call. He didn't explain why he wanted to end our five years relationship. Until I flew back to the Philippines to find out the truth. I visited him at his house and I encountered a pregnant woman. She told me that it shattered me, after all these years he made me a fool! It’s exactly nine in the evening when I arrived at my best friend's bar in poblacion makati. My mind can’t handle “Stop drinking Yngrid! That’s your third bottle of alcohol!” Nixon said, he rushedly stole my glass and stopped me. My eyes looked at him with anger and disappointment. They wanted meto move on, as if it was that easy! If she could only bring back time she would not love him! What bastard! Firing back at him already crossed my mind. It's unfair that I'm going to suffer alone? While they both live happily? And here I am crying! I was wrong when I thought that our relationship is close to perfect, he only used me for his own benefits. After going to his house my hands automatically dialed my best friend's phone number and asked them to be with me tonight. I need to express my emotions and I need people who can listen to all of my rants tonight! "So? Hanggang kailan ka ba iiyak dyan!" My friends asked in chorus. "Come on, Yngrid? He's not worthy can you please stop crying!" Marcus added, with anger in his tone. "Yeah, I can't believe he did this to me! After what I have done for him!" I said. While drinking another glass of wine. "I need to do something!" His eyes are wide open when he says, "At ano naman yun aber?" "Hindi ako papayag na ako lang mag-suffer sa pag-iwan niya sakin!" I almost shouted. "If your plan is to take revenge by ruining his reputation you better not do it! Because you will just gonna waste your time," Nixon said. "Well, Nixon is right. Just simply let go of him and move on okay! And besides, It's a blessing in disguise because your dad doesn't like him from the beginning," Marcus added. "Ewan ko ba kasi sa iyo kung bakit ka patay na patay sa lalaki na yun? Eh mas gwapo pa kami ni Marcus dun eh, " Nixon said. Raising his hands to Marcus and do the high five hand signs. My dad doesn't like my ex-boyfriend, we fight because of it, and it's too late for me to find out that he was right about what he thinks to Royce. If he discovers about our break up? My dad will be the happiest person. But what should I expect of him? He is always right and perfectionist, but without that mindset, he will never be the owner of the multi-dollar company. I know he was very disappointed with me when he discovered that I didn't take a business course in London. That I fake my enrollment and took Pharmacy at the Imperial College of London. I thought he would be glad if he found out about my success, but he got more angry because I lied to him. Nixon and Marcus wander to the next table, while I walk to the washroom to freshen up, after a few minutes I follow them. My friends are sitting with two girls which is not unfamiliar to me and I walk to their location. "Hey, guys! " I said, trying to get their attention. "Oh, girls! This our best friend Yngrid." Nixon introduced. "Hello, nice to see you both!" I said. While waving my hands. "Are you okay now, Princess?" Marcus said. Putting his hand on my shoulder. He drags me and I know he is up for something, we slowly walk to the quiet part of the bar. "Who are those girls? New target? And why did you bring me here?" I ask with confusion. "I'm glad you follow us there. Akala ko na flash kana sa inidoro eh, " he instantly said. I walk closer to him. "Oh! So why did you drag me here?" He gives me a confusing response. "Si Nixon kasi eh, pinakilala ako doon sa dalawang babae!" Marcus said while fixing his hair. "So? Anong bago dun eh, parehas naman kayo mahilig sa babae di ba?" I said and I raised my eyebrows to him. "Wow! So you're not on my side anymore? You know whom I'm in love with!" he said with a loud voice. "Of course I know! But if you keep going to the bars and seeing random girls, I don't think she will believe in you that you really love her?" I explained. "You know she hated me right? And what I do, she always rejects me!" he said in a sad tone. "You sound so broken more than me? Ikaw ba yung iniwan at nasaktan? As far as I can remember, I ask you guys to help me to cope up with my break up eh!" I answered annoyingly. "Hahaha! See, this is my way of helping you." he teased. "Well? Now I know why she never believes in you! Puro kasi kalokohan eh," "I let her think whatever she wanted to think about me, and besides that's what everybody thinks about us?" he answered. He was in love with a woman who never loved him back. But to be honest once he likes someone his efforts are one hundred percent, since he dated so many girls back in high school the girl he loves never believed him. When in fact he is madly in love with that woman. "People think that we're not good because they can't handle our intelligence, and they can't control us!" "Alam mo naman na hindi siya katulad ng mga babaeng makakasama ko dati? She is different and I can't control her," he said in a lowered voice. "If you know that she is different from others. I guess it's time for you to change your way, on how to get her? Kasi kung ako siya hindi rin ako maniniwala sayo eh, " I smile at him. Marcus's phone beat when he checks it, his eyes change the mood. "Oh, s**t Monique and Cassandra are coming!" he exclaimed. "Speaking of the devil, the devil is coming. Oh! wait? didn't I mention to you that Nixon invited them?" I explained to him. "Bakit Ngayon mo lang sinabi. Am I look presentable? Hey, may suklay ka ba?" he complained. Trying to fix himself. "Hindi ka naman masyadong excited ah, you look so haggard?" I teased him, I get my perfume and spray it to his clothes. "Eww! Amoy babae, baka isip niya ng babae ako!" he protested. "Okay lang yan totoo naman eh, babaero ka naman talaga!" I frankly said in a higher tone. "Really? Hahanapan kita ng bagong lalaki, para masaktan ka ulit!" he said while laughing. I rolled my eyes at him. “Baka gusto mo ako magsabi sa kanya, na may kasama kang ibang babae kanina?" He walks closer to me while laying his hands on my shoulder, and rub it on my head. "Gusto mo tayo na lang?" he laughed loudly. I gave him a tiger look. "Eww, are you i****t?" I said angrily. Marcus and Nixon are my childhood best friends, but we treat each other more like siblings. I'm very close to them. That's why some girls are very envious of me way back in high school. But those girls can't harm me, because my two best friends are always guarding me like a dog. After a few minutes, Marcus and I decided to go back to our place, but I noticed two men chatting with Nixon. "There you go! Where you guys have been huh?" Nixon amazingly asked. Marcus remove his hands on me and replied, "I just comfort Yngrid," "Ohh! Anyway, remember Orion and Levi?" Nixon added. My smile fades away when I see Orion. He is my Dad's favorite assistant and of course the only right guy for him! I don't know why my dad loves this man so much? Sometimes I wonder if he is my father's love child. But of course, he's not that kind of man. My dad is very faithful to my mom, even though she passed away ten years ago. Every time I see this man I get irritated. "Of course, we know them. Especially Orion, right Yngrid?" Marcus said, in a sarcastic way with a smirk in his lips. I rolled my eyes at Marcus, this guy is trying to start the tension between me and Orion. I nod my head to agree with Him. "Did your man break up with you?" Orion asked out of nowhere. "None of your business, cause I know if I tell? You will be going to report it to your boss! We're not that close to telling you everything! Papansin masyado!" I said sarcastically. "Grow up, Yngrid! We all know how suck you're in choosing a man!" he said in an angry tone. I give him a serious look. "Oh wow, really? How do you know I'm lacking in selecting a man? Why? Do you know whom I dated?" "I don't need to know, your face can prove your incapacity in making a decision. Kaya pati sa pagpili ng lalaki hindi ka marunong!" he annoyingly responds. I drop my glass of wine on the table and walk closer to him. "Oh? Look who's talking! How do you know about dating? As far as I can remember you're just a nerd who sometimes goes out of his cave! You rather stay at your office and do some paperwork. What are you doing here anyway? You're not even invited!" I shouted at him. "Well, I don't need your invitation, cause the owner invited me. And look at you? look so stressed over a guy!" he rapidly answered. "Of course you will never be stressed by a guy! Unless you're gay!" My smart mouth replied. Nixon walked in the middle of us. "Okay, tama na yan at baka mag patayan pa kayo!” I just look at Orion, his face is blank as a paper, this is why I don't like to see him. Because he always looks serious. All serious, no fun and boring like my dad. I put my hands in the air, as a sign of surrender. I don't want to waste my time with this man either. After a few moments, Monique and Cassandra walk into our table. "Hey! Guys," Monique interrupted. "How are you, Yngrid? It's been a long time." Cassandra lively said. These two become my friends after Marcus courtes Cassandra and gets rejected. They became close to me and still in touch with me even after I moved to London. "It's been a long time, I missed the two of you!" I excitedly walk closer to hug them. "So how are you?" Monique said in a worried tone. "Well, I'm okay physically but mentally not stable, " I bravely said. "It's okay, everything will be alright! Ikaw pa eh I know you're strong!" Cassandra in her cheerful tone. "What about you? Cassandra, how are you?" Marcus cutting our conversation. She gave Marcus a serious reaction. "Well, I'm good!" Cassandra responded looking at Marcus unemotionally. "Okay let's move to the VIP room, to have some privacy," Marcus declared. We're all transferred to the VIP room which has a couch, flat-screen tv, and karaoke. Nixon starts singing, and I suddenly remember Royce, and our memories together. I know I'm hard to be with, but Royce makes me feel like I am capable of being with someone. He is so fun, and lively. Even though I'm in London and our relationship is long distance, he always makes an effort to visit me there. Checking, if I'm doing good that's how I fall for him. But he plans everything and he uses me. I decided to drink another shot of tequila, and take another again until I get drunk…
