Reckless

Chapter 7

I'm famous and he is too.

"hindi mo ba alam?"

"Na?" He shrugged.

"I have a kid already, Xian. Stop hitting on me." Irap ko.

Obviously a f**k boy. I don't entertain this kind of boys. Maybe that's why I broke up with him or baka binusted ko.

"I know... we're just gonna hang out and catch up." "Catch up? As far as I know I don't remember you. It means we didn't share that much memories. So if you may excuse me, I'm gonna leave first."

Inis at madiin kong sabi. Tumayo ako but he hold me down.

"What the hell?"

What the f**k does he think he's doing? I was about to slap him, but he's already down. Nakahilata na siya sa buhangin.

I looked up and saw Louis's angry face looking at him. Lumipat ang tingin niya sa'kin kaya umiwas ako ng tingin.

"What do you think are you doing, Kath?"

"He came to me first! I was shutting him of-"

"I'm fine with one rival. Gio on the other side and your other choice would be only me."

Natahimik ako. I knew he would still insist this. He told me before that he won't be hitting on me, but he'll be there if ever me and Gio breaks up.

Tahimik kaming naglakad pabalik ng mansion. Naabutan namin si Brion na naglalaro sa garden. Masama ang tingin sa'kin ni Louis bago siya pumasok ng bahay.

Why is he mad at me? Akala niya ba ay papatulan ko 'yon? Maski nga siya ay iniiwasan ko.

I sighed. Lumingon ako at nginitian si Brion.

"Mommy!" He shouted and hugged me.

I crouched and he kissed me on my cheeks. Hinawi ko ang buhok niya na magulo at pinunasan ang pawis gamit ang bimpo na hawak ni Yaya Selya

"I thought you're asleep..."

"No mommy... I can't sleep eh so I asked yaya to play with me hehe." Ngumiti ako at tumango.

Binuhat ko siya at pinasok na sa loob. I think he played enough outside, pawis na siya at medyo namumula na rin ang mukha niya.

"Did you have fun?" Ngumisi siya at tumango.

"Do you want some pasta?" I asked.

"Baked macaroni!" So he likes baked macaroni?

I wish they have the ingredients here though.

"Yaya Selya..."

"Po?"

"May ingredients ba tayo for baked macaroni?"

"Naku ubos na po! Paborito kasi yan ni Brion at ni sir Louis. Bukas po mag gro-grocery ako."

"Ako na po. Gusto ko po kasi ngayon ko siya lutuan eh." Ngiti ko.

Aangal pa sana si yaya Selya pero alam kong may mga inutos pa sa kanya sila tita at bukas ang schedule ng pag grocery niya. I want to cook today.

Wala naman akong gagawin so might as well ako nalang ang mag grocery at magluto.

"Ako nalang po bahala kay Brion. Ipapatulog ko siya kay inday."

Tumango ako. Inday is yaya Selya's granddaughter. I met her once pero hindi ko na siya nakikita. Baka hindi lang talaga kami nagkakasalubong.

Oh! I should've brought my car. I hired someone to drop me here and bring my car home and it's too late. Hindi ko naman kasi balak mag gala dito.

I just want to spend time with my son. I searched for the key. I'm pretty sure dito niya nilalagay ang susi ng sasakyan. I'm planning to bring the mercedes benz dahil 'yon talaga ang ginagamit ko pag nandito ako.

"What are you doing?"

Napatalon ako sa gulat ng biglang may ngsalita sa likod ko.

"Finding the key."

"Key of what?"

"The car."

"Which one?"

Why does he keep on asking me? Pano ko mahahanap kung salita siya ng salita diyan. Tinignan ko siya ng masama.

"Oh maybe I know where it is? Why are you being such an angry brat?" T

his guy... ugh!

"Oh shut up. Where's the key of the mercedes?"

"Tell me first where you're going."

Argh! Can I leave the house peacefully and can I go outside without him showing?

"Grocery."

"I'll go with you.”

"Bakit pa? I can go alone okay? and I don't need you as a tour guide." Irap ko.

Para siyang tour guide na laging nandiyan eh.

"Oh. can I apply as a bodyguard then? You have many exes roaming around here."

Sa sobrang inis ko hinayaan ko nalang siyang sumama sa'kin. There's no point of arguing with him. Lagi naman yung desisyon niya yung nasusunod.

"Mommy! Sama ako mommy!"

Lumingon kaming dalawa ni Louis. Brion's running towards us. Sumunod si Inday na natataranta dahil sa pagtakbo ni Brion.

"Walk slowly baby..." Tinignan ko si Inday.

"Sige na ako na ang bahala."

"Where's his baby seat?"

"I'll get it. Susunod ako."

Medyo matagal kami nakarating sa grocery store which is S&R dahil malayo ito. They have the near ones pero dito kasi kompleto at mga imported brands na wala sa karaniwang grocery store.

Nilagay ko si peter sa shopping cart. I put him comfortably sa baby seat nito.

"Here's the list. Do you know which areas should we go?" Tanong ko kay Louis.

Taga dito siya so he might know where should we go first.

"Yaya Selya does the grocery. Not me."

Yeah, right.

Bawat puntahan tuloy namin nagtatanong kami. Minsan nahihiya na ako kaya iniikot ikot ko nalang. He seems to grab everything he finds that he wants.

"Wala sa listahan yan!"

"I can pay for it." He simply said.

"Mommy..." Hinila ni Brion ang damit ko at tinuro ang maliit na stuff toy.

"You want that baby?"

"Opo!" I smiled and get it for him.

Nilingon ko si Louis na pinalilibutan ng mga babae. He's just smiling at them trying to be nice. ew.

"Who are they mommy? Why are they with daddy?"

"Maybe his friends." Exes.

I remember their faces. Look who's ex are roaming around. Nilayo ko si Brion don at naghanap pa ng mga natira sa listahan. Tinignan ko siya. He's playing with the teddy bear that he just picked up somewhere. He likes teddy bear... ngumiti ako at patuloy na naghanap. I also got the things I want.
