THE PLAYBOY IS IN LOVE

CHAPTER TEN

SHYNA's POV

It's already 8 AM. But he's still not here. My foot is already tired of waiting for him here outside of our house but he is still not coming. Is he really tripping on me?? Is he??

8:10 AM. The time is running so fast.

Argh! What took him so long? Seriously. I hate waiting. I'm tired.

8:15 AM! There is still no sign of him. Argh. 

Where the hell is you, Playboy!?

Wait... Perhaps he doesn't know where I live? No way. It's impossible. He already knew my phone number, he probably also knew my address.

Until 8:20 AM has come. As usual, there is still no sign of him.

You, jerk! Where the hell is you??

When will you come?? 

Or... Will he really still come??

Okay, if 8:30 AM will come and he is not coming yet, I will definitely go back inside of my house.

That jerk, seriously. How dare he make me wait longer.

My face is getting oily!

Since I am outside of our house while waiting for him. I sat down first because I can't really take to stand anymore. My legs are swollen. Imagine, I've been standing here for almost an hour. Argh!

I should just go to school and attend my classes, than wasting my time waiting for that Playboy!

Ting! It's finally 8:30 AM! I quit! Argh!! He just makes fun of me! 

Huh, you're really a jerk!! I know it! He is just tripping on me! For sure he is laughing now internally knowing that I am right here waiting for nothing! Argh! You, jerk! I will gonna kill you tomorrow! Wait for me!

Wait... why I am angry?? 

No way! I'm not angry! What nonsense. Why would I get angry?? There is nothing to be angry about. The truth is, I'm happy! I'm very happy! That's good, my date with that jerk Playboy won't gonna happen!

"Argh! My time is wasted!" I said in frustrations then I stood up from sitting. I was about to walk going inside my house when suddenly a car stop in front of me.

Then, from inside, a gut came out.

Guess who is this guy?

Who else? No other than, that jerk! 

He is wearing a simple plain white button-down polo and black pants. With shades and cap on. He walks over to me.

"Hey, sorry. I'm late." He said in apology. I was about to yell out at him when he removed his shades and cap. That makes me stunned in a moment in seeing his face with his eyes and well groom hair.

Oh no.

Why is he so handsome? In fact, he looks so simple yet his handsomeness appears. 

What is this? Why my heart is beating so faster?

No way. I'm not attracted to him. That would never happen. Not once in my life.

"Let's go?" 

I stop fantasizing when he spoke up. 

"What!? Let's go?? Hey, Mister! Is it right for you to make me wait for an hour and a half, huh!? Hey, little did you know, I've been waiting here waiting for you!" I yell out at him with anger on my face then I raised my brows at her.

Suddenly, he burst out in laughter.

Wow! What's even funny??

"Hey!! Why are you laughing??"

He stops laughing. "Sorry, I didn't know that you were excited on our first date." He chuckled.

"What? Me? Excited? In your face! Let's go!" I roll my eyeballs at him then I turn my back at him, and I get inside of his car. He followed me immediately.

"Come on, just admit that you are excited." He insisted, chuckling.

"I am not! Can you just don't talk to me? You're annoying." I said in an annoyance.

"Okay, relax!" Then, he starts the engine and drove his car away.

On our way going somewhere. I don't know where we are going. No one spoke between us. I lay my head in the window and I look at him through the side mirror. His face looks so serious while driving yet he looks handsome. 

Okay, I admit it. he's handsome. But that doesn't mean, I like him. Hell no. He's a bad guy. 

However, if I look at him now, his face looks so calm, and gentle but I can tell that there seems a sadness written in his eyes.

"Why are you staring at me? Do you have a crush on me?" 

I stop fantasizing about him when he throws a question to me all of a sudden. So, I look away.

What? Me? Ew! Hell no. That would never gonna happen.

I peeked on him, and I gave him a smile. A sweet but a sarcastic smile of mine.

"You wish!" I said, rolling my eyes at him.

He laughed at me. 

How I hate his laugh. It makes him handsome even more. But again, I am not attracted to him. He's not my type. Hes so boastful guy and I hate that kind of personality. Also, he is too far from my ideal man.

"You know what, I love teasing you. You're cute." He chuckling said.

"Whatever!" 

~*~

After a couple of an hour, his car stops in front of a luxurious hotel and restaurant.

He got off his car first. I was hoping that he would open the door for me but he didn't. Argh! He's not really a gentleman. 

No choice, I got out of his car all by myself. Then, we walk going inside of the building.

"Hi, Sir. Good morning. Welcome to Diamond Hotel and Restaurant." A girl greeted him when we enter the building. I think she's a staff here. Yes, obviously. She's wearing thus building uniform. 

But... why she is acting cute in front of this jerk? 

What a flirt.

I also look at the jerk and seem like he is enjoying it.

"Table for two, please." He said to the girl, winking.

"Sure, Sir. This way." The girl leads us, we followed her. When we reached our spot, this jerk and I settled ourselves on the small sofa. 

Then, the waiter handed us the book menu. Their food here is quite expensive. But since it is his treat, I will order anything I want. After we choose a menu, we gave it to the waiter. The waiter left after he listed our menu.

"Can I ask you something?" I asked him.

"You're already asking." He said, chuckled. 

"Whatever, nevermind," I replied in a bit of annoyance. He's really annoying.

"I'm just joking. What is it?"

"Hmm. What's your name?" I ask him in a serious way. 

Well, yeah. I didn't know him and I want to know his name since we are in the same school.

To my question, he gets surprised but his facial expression change immediately and he laughed.

Is he crazy? What's even funny? 

"What's funny, huh?" I ask him, raising my brows.

"Are you serious? You really don't know who I am?" He unbelievably asked, still laughing like an i***t. I gave him a sharp look, causing him to stop laughing.

"Are you done laughing?" I asked.

"You're funny. Are you really serious? You didn't really know me?"

"Do you think I will ask you if I know you?"

"Yeah. You're right. Okay, then. Guess who I am." He said, smirking.

Guess? Wow! Do I need to do that? Why can't he just say it? Weirdo.

After a minute, our food arrived. We start to eat.

After our great meal, we went to the mall, we watch a movie in the cine room. After that, we went to Manila Bay, we roamed around there, and we also eat some street foods. Until five PM has come, he invited me to go to Star City. I didn't expect that this wealthy guy knows this place.

He's not boring to be with, huh. He's cool then.

Anyways, I asked him to bought all of the tickets for rides and for the different booths because I want to try them all.

"Are you sure you want to go in there?" He asked me. 

We are now standing in front of the haunted castle.

"Of course, I'm sure. Why? Don't tell me you're scared?" I teased him.

"Tss. What are you saying? I'm not." He chuckled.

I laughed at him. Then, I hold his hand and we enter the castle.

Just then...

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!" I scream with all my voice when someone holds my foot, and until we got to the middle...

"AAAAHHHH! I want to go out!!!" I continue screaming. I'm scared! I'm totally scared. I can't do this anymore. I want to go back. 

I heard him laughing, but I don't mind that because my body is shaking. I'm scared. I can't breathe.

"AAAAAHHHHHH! I WANT TO GO OUT!!! LET ME OUT OF HERE!!!" I can't take this anymore. I'm really scared right now, and I feel even scared more when that jerk disappeared in my side.

What is that? Where is he? The whole castle is so dark so I find dit difficult to find him.

Oh no! Where did he go? No way!! How can he leave me here??! I'm scared!! Ah, jerk!!

"Hey, Jerk?? Where are you? Hey!" I scream, calling him out. My mouth is shivering.

"AAAAHHHHHHHHH!!! NO!!  PLEASE DON'T TOUCH ME!!! I'M SCARED!!" I cried out when a cold hand clasps my arm. Mum!! Help me!!

"Help me—" 

I stop screeching when someone carried me until we exited the castle.

Who else this? 

It was him who carried me.

This jerk! How dare he leave me there!?

Ah, maybe he's flirting inside that's why he disappeared all of a sudden?

He slowly put me down.

"Are you okay—" He wasn't able to continue his sentence because I hit him.

"You jerk!! How dare you leave me there alone, huh!?? You jerk!! I hate you! Do you know how scared I was, huh!??" I keep hitting him. All eyes are on us.

"Hey! I didn't... Ouch!! I didn't leave you... Ouch! Hey! I'm... Ouch!!"

"You jerk!! I hate you!!" 

"Hey, stop it— ouch!! Ouch!" 

I keep hitting him even more. 

"Shut up! You deserve to be beaten! Huh, you must be busy flirting earlier that's why you disappeared. Am I right? What a—" 

I stop hitting him and yelling at him when he suddenly holds my wrists. He looks at me seriously.

"Let go of me!"

He just ignores me. I tried to pull out my wrists on his grip but he tightened his grip.

"Hey, what are you doing?" My forehead wrinkled.

He moved his face closer to me causing my eyes to get widened.

What is this? What the hell on earth is he doing? 

Now, our face is inches away from each other. Oh god. I can feel his breath and my heart is beating so fast.

No way. I am not attracted to him.

"Hey, you're crazy!" I yell and this time I slipped on his grip. "Do not follow me!" I said then, I turn my back at him and I walk fast away from him.

What is this? Why my heart is beating so fast?

"Hey, wait up!" He shouted but I ignore him.

Argh. Please, heart, go back to your senses. Why are you acting so weird?

I shouldn't feel like this with him. This is so absurd.

But failed. I failed to escape him.
