TGIWS: Phoenix Ryler Velasquez's POV (Completed)

Part 29

Part 29

Kakatapos lang namin kumain pero si Darlene nasa dining pa rin at hindi ko alam kung anong ginagawa pero sa nakikita ko ngayon, may hawak siyang ice cream at kutsara.

"I will leave." Darius said.

"Then leave. Lumayas ka na para kaming dalawa na lang dito."

His forehead creased. "Bakit ka ba nagmamadali, ha?" 

"So, Darlene and I can have baby time." I smirked.

"Baby time... huh?" He rolled his eyes. "That's corny."

"You're just bitter, and you know what? If I can talk to San Pedro just to send Lara here, ginawa ko na para hindi ka naman bitter."

He rolled his eyes again. "I am not bitter. Hindi ko lang talaga makaya na hinaharot mo si Darlene, I couldn't imagine... dati inaasar lang kita sa kaniya tapos ngayon? The fuck."

"Just accept the fact that Darlene will soon be my wife and malay mo magkaroon ka ng pamangkin ngayon o baka bukas." I laughed at his reaction. 

He got a scissor. "I will cut your dick, Nix!"

I laughed so hard, halos itutok na niya sa akin ang gunting. "Nagbibiro lang ako. Sayang ang lahi ko kung hindi kami magkakaanak ni Darlene. And by the way, gagawin kitang Ninong ng first baby namin."

He glared at me. "Fuck you."

Ang sarap asarin ni Darius. Masama pa rin ang tingin niya hanggang sa dumating si Darlene. "Anong nangyari sa 'yo?" She asked, lumingon siya sa 'kin. "Phoenix, anong ginawa mo?" I shrugged before getting the spoon in her hand. She gave me ice cream.

"Bahala nga kayong dalawa." Iniwan kaming dalawa ni Darius. 

"Phoenix, anong ginawa mo kay Darius? At sobrang inis niya?"

Naupo ako sa sofa bago siya hinila. She was sitting on my lap while I'm holding an ice cream. Sinusubuan ko siya. "Wala lang...." I said, I ate the ice cream on the spoon.

"Sus... inis 'yon, e, ibig sabihin may ginawa ka." Pinanliitan niya ako ng mata.

Hinalikan ko lang ang labi niya at hindi na nagsalita. She wrapped her hands around my nape, sinubuan ko ulit siya. We are talking some nonsense, natatawa ako sa mga sinasabi ni Darlene. 

"Hanggang ngayon naghaharutan pa rin kayo." 

Lumingon kami sa hagdan. It was Darius, who was wearing casual office attire. 

"Ang bitter mo naman, Darius. Ganyan ba talaga kapag walang lovelife? Gusto mong hanapan kita ng lovelife mo?" Darlene smirked. 

"Yeah, I know someone." 

"Ayoko." He shook his head. "May mahal akong iba. Mahal ko pa 'yon kahit wala na siya. True love never fade, Darlene, and that's what I'm feeling." 

Darlene became silent. I didn't speak too since Darius wasn't able to talk for a minute, he went to the kitchen for some reason. Tumayo naman si Darlene para kumuha ng tubig pero ang alam ko... sisilipin niya si Darius. But seconds later I heard a shout.

"Aray ko! Lagi niyo talaga akong sinasaktan ni Kuya! Isusumbong ko kayo kay Mama! Lagi niyo na lang ako binabatukan! Lagi niya niyo na lang ako sinasaktan... parang hindi pamilya."

When you were a princess pero binabatuk-batukan ka lang ng kapatid mo. How funny. Lumapit ako nang lumabas siya sa kitchen. She was holding the back of her hair.

"Phoenix, ang sakit... " she pouted like a kid. 

"It's fine, malay mo maging matalino ka dahil sa ginawa ni Darius." I held her head, lumayo siya at hinampas ako sa braso.
