Chapter Eight
Chapter 8
Little by little what he said made me sweat and then I swallowed one after another. No! No! No! He won't do this to me! I will not let him ruin my relationship with Jiro. But at the back of my mind, it keeps on telling me that it was already ruined.. ruined by Jiro himself.
"You won't tell him anything." I told him emphatically and then I gradually approached him and looked deep into his eyes. "Why are you doing this? You are not involved in our relationship so back off."
He smirked. "Nah-uh. That was before, before something happened to us but now I have the right to butt in, he slept last night and I like it and I want more from you." My eyes widened at what he said.
"I am taken! I don't even like you and I'll never love you. I belong to Jiro and I am forever his." He told him emphatically. "I never told you that I like you either and don't worry, I feel the same I'll never be in love with you. I just want pleasure from you." I made him suffer but I immediately got away from him..
"Roll your eyes again to me and I'll kiss you. I don't care if Jiro sees us." He told me seriously. "I-I don't believe you." And then I walked away from him but this time he came to me. "Go on and roll your eyes on me and give me a try." He said to me with a smirk.
I don't care that much about that kiss, what I care the most is whether she will tell the truth about what happened to Jiro or not. That's why I opened the topic myself. "Don't tell me anything." Seriously if I told him and he shrugged his shoulders, I was about to tell him when suddenly Jiro came out with a tray of cookies and a pitcher of juice with glasses.
"You two look so awkward." Laughing Jiro said to us, and then he sat between Kent and me. "Because you didn't introduce me to her." Kent didn't want to answer his Kuya.
"Aaahh.. yeah. Sorry about that I was so excited because of Mom's cookies. You know it's my favorite Man." And then Jiro bit into a cookie. "Babe, I want you to meet Kent. He's my younger brother and he just went home this summer, he lives in the USA together with Dad. But for now he lives with Mommy."
He nodded his head me, but I just found out that he was back home last summer, it's already June, so maybe it's because he's always at bars and clubs at night and then sleeps in the morning.
"And Kent, Bro this is -" Kent immediately winked at him. "I know her brother." Kent said seriously which made me nervous. Is he really going to tell him? Oh my God! I hope not and I don't know what reason I can give to Jiro.
And maybe it was his suggestion earlier to slap, tweak and kick his Brother's Jr., I might do that to him. I can't afford to lose Jiro, not now, not tomorrow or the next day I want to keep him forever. And then for sure when Jiro and I are married he won't cheat on me like what he is doing right now.
"How did you know each other?" Jiro and I asked but he was looking at me. I don't know what to say and I don't even plan on answering him but he's looking at me. I started to panic again when I heard Kent's voice.
"She leaves next door and Mom told me her name.." Jiro and I looked at Kent. "Kylie.." It felt so weird but when I heard him say my name, every noise that I heard became mute and it's like the Earth stops from revolving as I look straight into his eyes.
"Kent.." I called him without taking my eye contact from him. Until it was lunch time and I had to say goodbye to Jiro because Selena was already texting me saying that I needed to help with our report in Communication Arts.
At school when I received a call from an unknown number. Maybe it's just Selena, because sometimes whoever you see calls me especially late and she doesn't have a load. I immediately answered his call.
"Hi Kylie.." It's not Selena's voice. It's Kent. "K-Kent." He laughed on the other line. "Why do you sound so tense? It's like the kidnapper of your cat just called you and asking for one million pesos for the ransom. Chill Kylie, it's just me."
"W-what do you want? I'll try my voice calmed down and I made it straight. "Aren't you going to say thank you first? D.amn girl, I just shut my mouth earlier from telling him our dirty little secret."
"I told you that's not your business -"
"It's also my business Babe." I was irritated when he called me Babe. "Don't call me that!" Annoyed if ordered to him. "I can call you whatever I want Babe." I will put down the phone as soon as he speaks..
"I'll wait for you at the Chapel, you have five minutes to go be here and if you don't Jiro will know everything."
"Are you blackmailing me?!"
"Am I!" And then I heard his soft laugh. "Your time starts now."
Urgh! Kent! You're two years younger than me! So I don't understand why you can easily control me just like this!
