So This is Love [On-going]

Chapter 2: War

Break his limbs and cursed him to death, that's all in Molen's mind right now. How did Flynn dare to say that awful remarks on her masterpieces? Hadn't he know how much effort she put to finished those pastries and desserts? She shot her brow up when Flynn glances went to her spot. The audacity of this man to smirks right after what he said.

Did he miss his Values education? Molen asked in her mind.

"You asked for content; that's why I invited Ms. Tejada. What's wrong with you? Her pastries and desserts were the best,"

Aaron somehow lightens up the mood inside Flynn's office. She listened to their conversation and wait for Flynn to repent.

"The best for you palates but not to me," Flynn firmly said. "Can't you find better content than this? I'm not going to waste my precious time reviewing this garbage."

Heaven may grant her request for more patience with Flynn. She clenched her fists to prevent spitting fire on him. Aaron and Flynn forgot that she is still there, listening to their conversation and trying to conceal resentment.

"You're impossible, Flynn. Find yourself a researcher, too," Aaron stormed out of the room, leaving her with the devil.

"Leave now and kindly bring this with you,"

"Aren't you going to apologize? My pastries and dessert were not garbage. Take that back, mister." Molen angrily said to Flynn.

Flynn faced her again. "I'm not going to take back what I've said, Ms. Tejada. I reviewed a lot of pastries and desserts around the world, and these didn't satisfy my high standards." He just walked cooly out of the room, leaving her alone in that room. She glanced at the pastries and desserts that she sent yesterday. Does it taste bad? She put a lot of effort into it, but for Flynn, her masterpieces were garbage, and evaluating was a waste of his precious time.

Damn you, Flynn Bryant Sandoval!

Molen went straight to the kitchen after she entered her apartment. She couldn't accept the deductions that Flynn said to her masterpiece. Molen prepared all the equipment that will use in baking. In that place, she felt re-charge, and those harsh comments from Flynn's refuel the desire in her heart to prove him wrong.

My pastries were not garbage! I will prove it to you, Flynn Bryant Sandoval.

Her cousins and Nana Rosa watched her while hustling inside the kitchen. No one dared to ask how was the meeting with Flynn Bryant Sandoval went. Molen's irritation was all over her face. The people around know her enough, and the silence always prevailed when she's in a foul mood. She thinks of the best way of taking revenge on Flynn. Social media is the only thing that ever crossed her mind.

Be ready, Flynn Bryant Sandoval. I'll make your career doomed.

Flynn threw all the sheets on top of his table right after he read an article about him. The writer was none other than the lady she rejected the pastries and desserts a while ago. The said article gained a lot of comments, likes, and shares in two hours. Some words were siding him, others not. People around him start talking about it. He's in a cafe near his house. His friend, Josh, owned it, and he often visits there when not busy.

"You're doomed, Flynn. Why the hell did you that?" Josh asked him after serving his favorite latte.

"Don't push it, Josh. I'm not in the mood right now. Aaron resigned, and now this one. Damn!"

"Your fault, man. It would help if you were a little more superior to the people around you. Compassion, that's what Auntie Imelda taught us and never judged the person by the pastries they made."

Compassion, that's an awful word I ever heard. If a person can't do his or her job well, why bother being compassionate?

Flynn Bryant Sandoval is known for his badass attitude behind the camera. He's a perfectionist and believes that there is no room for mistakes. Flynn graduated from one of the famous schools in the Metro and took his master's degree at the University of California. He strived and did his best to be on top so he can't let anyone ruin him. That pathetic girl should learn her lesson. He logged in to his account and messaged Molen privately. She just started the war, and Flynn was not going to finish it without taking revenge.

"This girl is impossible," Flynn said.

"Apologize to her in public." He gritted his teeth.

"I will never do that,"

He's Flynn Bryant Sandoval, and no one dared to ruin his name. Those who tried didn't succeed in the end. Flynn barely remembers the time he got overthrown. If Molen wants a war, she'll give the dose of her own medicine!

What Molen did to ruin Flynn's career backfire on her too soon. She didn't see it coming, and all Molen have to do is to fight back. After receiving's Flynn's reply, she smiles in victory. Eighty percent of the social media community who knew Flynn sided her. The remaining twenty percent is neutral with the war she started.

"You pissed Flynn Sandoval big time, Molen," Vina said to her.

"This war is not going to end even if he publicly apologize to you," Abbey added.

Molen knows the consequences of what she started and willing to dodge all of it. Mrs. Tejada didn't raise her a quitter nor a coward. She was taught not to let any people look down on her. Molen and the weak don't suit well. She is Monica Leanne Nina Tejada, and she can be someone's bad dream. Flynn messed up with the wrong girl. That's what he gets when messing up with her. Her pastries and dessert weren't garbage. She tasted it first, and few people can prove that aside from her cousins and Nana Rosa.

"But, internet war is toxic, don't you think?" Nana Rosa said. "Some lose themselves because of the toxicity,"

Nana Rosa was right, but that's the only way she knew to take her revenge on Flynn. Flynn's life revolves in social media, faking smile whenever there is a camera and hiding the darkest secret behind the lenses. She thought he was friendly, just like what she saw on TV. Flynn's real attitude was far different from what he portrays in front of the camera. He has a handsome face, but Molen disregard all of those after she got below the belt comments.

Molen got hurt, and she doesn't care who's he because what's Flynn shown to her was enough. A dose of his rudeness and arrogance.

"We got you, Molen. Let's show that Flynn what we got," Vina said to her.

Abbey also said that no matter what happened, she's on her side. She maybe loses her mother but still has a family who truly loves and supports her. Her fight was their fight also.

The day goes on, and Molen can't help but throw away her arms up in the air. Molecules Cafe hit their highest sales on the book. That's the silver lining of what she started online, a quick promotion of her goodies, and savage revenge. Some commenters said that she loathes on Flynn's stardom but what she'd done was far different from loathing someone. If only Flynn treated her right and didn't say that to her masterpieces, she will let it sleep. That comment of him became her anxiety; it haunts her wherever she goes.

"Happy?" A deep voice asks that give her chills down to her spine. She slowly put her hands down. "Happy now that you ruined my name online?"

It was Flynn Bryant Sandoval. The face was grim, and jaw's clenching. Resentment, that's what she sees on his face right now. She walks backward to escape Flynn. Not that she's afraid of him, but he looked extra dangerous.

You're afraid, Molen, that's all the same! She shouted in her mind. I didn't see this coming, and never in my entire existence to this realm expect to meet Satan early, she added.

"Now, it's my turn, lady."

"W-what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to get revenge, my dear."

"This will add up to the issue if you did something terrible to me, I can sue you."

"I'm not afraid." Molen's back reached the glass window of her cafe. She has no escape way now. Flynn stood in front and jailed her inside his two arms. She can freely smell his scent that's not offending her sense of smell. "You started a war that's not going to end, lady."

"Can you move away?"

"What if I don't? What will you do? No one is here to save you," Molen looked on her left and right. Flynn is right; no one will hear her scream nor help even she asks for it. All her cousins and Nana Rosa went home early. The personnel of Molecules Cafe also went home first.

She tried to escape by lowering down, but that made their position gets worst. Flynn gets closer to her, and lips were inches away from her. She could smell fresh mint on his breath. His eyes lower down, and she saw him eyeing her lips. Molen is not stupid; it's clear that Flynn wanted to kiss her as a revenge. A kiss for revenge. Sounds promising and a little romantic, but that's not the right time for that. If Molen didn't do anything, she would lose her precious first kiss. And it's too late now that Flynn's lips are on top of hers. She tried to resist him but end up hurting herself. A sound from a camera ended that venomous kiss.

"Got it!" Flynn triumphantly said. He walked a few steps away from her and started fidgeting on his phone. "I'll use this to prove that you're just a jealous girl from my past who's trying to ruin my --"

A slapped stopped Flynn from talking.

"p*****t!" Molen shouted before turning her back and start walking towards her cafe.
