Blackmailing
Tumalikod ako sa kanya at madaling pinunasan ang aking mga luha. Nang harapin ko siya ay halos mabuwag ako sa kinatatayuan ko ng sobrang lapit na ng mukha niya sa akin.
"Why are you crying Fion?" pag-uulit niya. Umiling ako.
"N-Napuwing lang.." his forehead creased and reached for my elbows, "Don't lie to me Fion. You're crying," i rolled my eyes and looked up at him.
"Alam mo naman pala eh, why are you still asking pa ba?" his stare remained.
"Who made you cry like this?" i tried to pulled back my arms from but he just didn't allow it.
My heart leaped when he hugged my lightly. I found myself crying again. But now, i'm wrapped with his warm hug which comforts me so much.
"Let sleep, I know you're tired," he placed my blanket on my body and switch off the lights of my room as well as the lamp at the side table. But before he could even leave the room, I whispered.
"I wish you were my boyfriend," and I dozed off to sleep.
My eyes were so puffy as I woke up the next day. I groaned as I went off to bed, feeling dizzy. I took a shower and brushed my teeth and put some concealer under my eyes so Keoz wouldn't notice how puffy my eyes were as I cried last night.
I heavily sighed when I remember how crueled Jerico did to me. I wanted to cry again but i managed to stop, he's not worth my tears. I will broke up with him, i can't handle this kind of relationship at all. It sucks. Our relationship already fucked up.
I just need to rest first. To breathe. Until i'm already ready to cut all the things which connects us together. It was a different Jerico from the Jerico i met the first time. He did change a lot. And as I said, it sucks really hard.
Keoz was still asleep when I check his room, good thing he didn't lock his room up.
I decided to cook for our breakfast together. Not that i'm excited with it, tho. It was just my first time cooking for other's breakfast. I smiled when the fridge was full, it was nice to cook when you all have what you need.
I cooked sunny side up egg, bacon, and sausages. I prepared the table with plates, spoon and forks and glass with water and a mug of coffee for me. Hindi ko alam ang iniinom niya tuwing umaga kaya tubig na lang muna ang nilagay ko. 'Yung sa umagahan nga hindi ko rin alam, baka mamaya vegetarian pala 'tong si Keoz.
When i finished preparing the table, I went upstairs to wake Keoz up. It's already eight in the morning yet he was still sleeping on his bed like a princess.
I open his room and he's there hugging the pillow. I sighed and took the alarm on the side table and make it alarm one minute from now then i placed it beside of his ears. But after that, I took a picture of him, his lips are a bit apart and he's snoring! I took a video of him too! I almost laugh out loud.
After that, I covered my ears with my hand, waiting for the clock to alarm.
"WHAT THE FUCKK!!" I ran towards the door but before that, i yelled at him.
"Wake up, bro! Breakfast is ready!" He groaned and I giggled before finally walking down the stairs, waiting for him so we could have our breakfast together. I ended the video.
While waiting, i open my phone and saw tons of missed calls and texts on my notification. And it was from Jerico, I almost rolled my eyes when I saw his last message.
From: Jerico
I'm sorry for what I did last night. I was out of control. Let's talk. Please.
I massaged the bridge of my nose, getting irritated every seconds passed by. He just made my day ruined.
"Ang aga namang busangot niyan," I sighed and turned off my phone. He sat infront of me and looked at the breakfast I cooked. I cleared my throat.
"Uh, do you want other foods to eat? Vegetarian ka ba?" I asked him. He smirked then shooked his head. Keoz was about to start eating when I stopped him. His brows furrowed, looked confuse.
"What?" he asked. I motioned him to put down his fork and spoon and so he did.
I closed my eyes, "Let's pray first" I did sign of the cross and I started to pray. Thanked God for giving us another day and a wonderful breakfast which we will eat after this.
"Amen," We both chanted. I finally opened my eyes but felt akward again, when his staring at me like minutes when I'm praying here. I pointed his food. His look softened before starting eating his food and so I am too.
"So, you're going to party tonight?" I asked in the middle of our bf. He stopped midway of his spoon in his mouth. He put it down and drank on his water instead. He crossed his arms over his chest and looked at me.
But before he could answer, I said, "Sorry I can't let you tonight," then shrugged as I took a bite on the sausage. I tasted good.
His brow shot up, "Oh, kailan pa ako naging under sayo?" I rolled my eyes and leaned on my chair.
"Girlfriend mo ba 'ko? Anong under-under ka diyan? Ulol," I burped, his eyes widened at that. Okay, i felt embarassed now. Why the fuck did i do that?!
"God, manners Fion," he said. I put my dishes on the sink and washed my hands. I turned to him, smirking.
"I cooked for our breakfast.." I trailed off, he shifted on his seat, looked confuse again, "You'll wash the dishes." i did not ask him, it's command. And he can't do anything about it.
"What?! Why would I do that?!" He furiously stood up and was about to walked away but I said something that made him stopped.
"Okay, I'll post a picture of you. I'll caption it with hmm.. sleeping beauty? Or, my baby is still asleep," I giggled. His eyes darkened.
"As if you have pictures of me," my lips parted and I laughed. I took out my phone and went in my gallery. I made my phone faced him to show him his pictures and videos while sleeping and his reaction when the alarm rang. I played it so he could watched it too. My tummy hurts so much as I laugh and laugh and laugh.
"Oh god, ang sarap ulit-ulitin nito," I said. I looked at him. He looked serious now and his jaw are now clenched. Oh no, is he mad right now?
Well, gwapo pa rin naman siya kaya hindi naman nakakatakot.
"Fine," he scoffed and lazily went upstairs. I grinned at myself.
So this is how fun blackmailing was huh?
