Chapter 3: Boyfriend

"Boyfriend?!!" lahat sila nagulat sa sinabi ni Healer especially Feliz and Rhea. My opposite bestfriends. The love and unlove material.

"Chill guys , para namang hindi tayo naiinlove" pagpapakalma ni Martin sa kanila.

"How? I mean you didn't tell us?" Rhea ask pero alam kong sa kaloob looban ng baliw na to ay nasisiyahan siya.

"Exactly were your bestfriends pero hindi namin alam na may-" she stop talking while scanning Healer from head to toe.

"With a freaking handsome British" Jayca come closer at saka umikot samin ni Healer.

"Perfect. So lucky Naomi" I was relief na medyo okay lang sa kanya. Hindi ko naman kasi maitatangi na sobrang gwapo nitong assassin na katabi ko.

Pero hindi ibig sabihin non wala na ako sa hotseat. Pagkaupong pagka upo namin ay lumapit sina Veronica.

"So let's git rid with Naomi now" napalunok ako sa sinabi ni Feliz at saka sinalinan ng alak ung highball glass na tinapat nila kay Healer. Is he going to drink?

"Sorry I don't drink. She hates" tumango tango ako sa sinabi niya at nilabanan ang titig ng mga kaibigan ko.

"She will not. Unless she wants us to hate her" that warn tone of Feliz really scare me.

"Do hate her , but don't forget I'm here" my mouth dryed suddenly. This is not good. He's coolness is coming back with a cold dark aura.

"Okay fine , Hindi na kami mamimilit hehe" pag singit ni Rhea when she notice the tense.

"How long are you guys with?" That question.

"We're almost year in a half" ako na ang sumagot ng mabilis.

"Im not asking you Naomi. It's him" napa ahh naman ako at saka hinapit ni healer ang beywang ko palapit sa kanya. His hands is in my back.

"I really don't believe that you guys were lover" Veronica enters with a disgusting words. Nakatitig lang siya sa nobyo ko. Sounds nice.

"Will you believe me if I say we're not?" Healer ask back. Nagtinginan naman sila. He's too sarcastic.

"Okay we will ask random questions and you must answer it correctly it will prove us na bf ka ni Naomi" suggestion ni Feliz na sinang ayunan nilang lahat.

Oh my goodness I don't think he can answer them. My hands we're sweating oh my gosh sana tamaan ni Healer.

"When was her birthday?" Leo ask.

"February 14 , 1996 at 7 am in the morning in Las Vegas" he answered so fast. I was shock too na alam niya with exact details. He dig a research on me.

I cleared my throat saka hindi ko pinahalata na nashock ako. Baka maghinala sila.

"W-what are the books she loves to read?" Nautal bigla si Rhea sa tanong niya. Well they jaw just drop in the first question.

"William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet . The studies of Neurology , Orthopedists and Pediatrician. She prefers reading than going out. She spend almost of the day locking herself alone just to read books" Martin just clap his hand and the others nodded.

"Those were easy. Ito ung mahirap na tanong" Feliz cleared her throat at saka tumingin sakin at pagkatapos kay Healer.

"What kind of woman is Naomi?" Feliz smiled mischievously. Ako naman napatitig kay Healer.

"She's Uncontrollable and Gorgeously Unique. Her parents was here weakness , she looks strong outside but she's like an ordinary woman inside. She's sweet and calm. She's-" he stopped then he give me a kiss in my forehead. I froze from that. My heart just race inside.

"She's my Sweet Bunny" with that word they all melted and stares to us with a wide smile.

Those words were totally sweet but it's all lies. I guess he's really good at lying since he's an assassin.

"Aww so sweet naman" Rhea said with sparkling eyes. They all went back to their seats.

"Wow okay na kami. Magjowa nga kayo. Certified!" Jayca finally accept it.

"It looks like though" I can finally breathe peacefully.

"So are you a British?" Veronica ask again.

"Sort of " he simply answered.

"What's your family business?" Natigilan si Healer sa pagsagot at saka tumingin sakin.

"Real State and Shipping Company" Kung ganon may family business sila? Is he telling the truth.

"Oh shipping it is" kinurot ni Feliz ang beywang ko sabay panlalaki ng mga mata sakin.

"Magpaliwanag ka mamaya sakin" he mumbled na ikinatango ko. She fakely smile to us. How weird a friend.

"So tell me bakit ka nag secret sakin? samin ni Rhea?" I smiled fakely dahil mukhang hindi pa siya tapos sa issue , naghiwalay muna kami ni Healer dahil pupunta siya sa kabilang cottage which was his.

"Uhm Kasi I know you're mad at lovers. So if I say I have a boyfriend too baka mairita ka lang sakin like how you sarcastically talk with Rhea" natigilan siya sa sinabi ko at saka umiwas ng tingin.

"Because I know what will happen next after that sweet little thing. Masasaktan ka lang. Kayo ni Rhea. Love is stupidity Naomi" now she really talk like my mother. Alam kong galit siya. Ganito rin ang scenario nila ni Rhea before.

"Matalino ka naman , your in the top of Dean's list. But how is this happening? May pasabi sabi ka pang love isn't your priority" I sigh deeply bago sumagot sa kanya.

"I know I said that. But that's before I met him. I really love him Feliz , I never felt something like this only to him. Yes matalino nga ako but it doesn't mean na hindi pwedeng mainlove ang kagaya ko. He doesn't look at me like I'm the perfect girl in his eyes. I lack of it and his fulfilling my personality." I explain half meant Truth.

"Seriously?" She ask in disbelief

"Yes it is." Bumuntong hininga siya at saka niyakap ako.

"Whatever Naomi , Whatever. Hihintayin ko na lang na dumating ung araw na iiyak ka. Ipaghahanda kita ng funeral" that's Feliz my bestfriend.

"Thanks for understanding" she smiled a little before she turn around.

"So what? Dito ka matutulog o sa boyfriend mo?" Aw I didn't see it coming.

"Uhm pwedeng don?" Huminto siya sa paglalakad at saka tumingin sakin.

"Are you guys flock in the same bed?" Nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa sinabi niya at napayakap sa sarili ko.

"Oh goodness how dirty your mind Feliz. No such thing happen between us okay?" She laugh at me at saka binato ako ng pillow sa couch.

"Make it sure. Huwag kang magpapatanim " kunot noong tiningnan ko siya.

"Like what?"

"Whatever just don't spread your legs widely" uminit ang pisngi ko sa sinabi niya. Now I get what she meant to say.

I shouldn't think in that way. I shouldn't. Hindi naman mangyayare samin ni Healer yun but still why do I react so much like this.

Oh gosh where's your brain roaming around Naomi. This is not so you.

I fix my clothes at saka tinupi ng maayos. I need to stay with him until this weekend para naman hindi maghinala ng bonga ung mga kaibigan ko at saka he intended too para raw if anything happens hindi siya mahihirapan.

As if mahihirapan siya? Mukhang matagal na siyang assassin at magaling siya sa lahat ng bagay.

"So you're totally staying with him?" Rhea approach me kasama ang bf niyang si Martin.

"Yes I have to. He's been in a long journey kasi and i want to spend time with him so guys is it okay?" They nodded to me naman while Feliz has no reaction.

"Totally fine with us seguro siya ang kasama mo when you keep refusing us " i fake a laugh at saka dumeretso na sa pinto.

"Remember? Don't let him plant seeds on you!" I stiff a little at saka nilingon siya.

"Whatever Feliz!" They all laugh at me na para bang isa akong nakakatawang bagay.

"Baka naman nakatanim na , ilang buwan na ba Naomi?" There leo join them. How hilarious.

"It's not regretful anyway mukhang magaling si Mr. H" tumakbo na ako palabas bago ko pa marinig ang iba nilang sasabihin. Ngayon napagtitripan na nila ako.

This is totally a bad idea pero ano pa nga bang magagawa ko. I made up the choice and decision.

"What took you so long?" I almost jump off when he whispered in my back.

"Oh my goodness you!" I pointed him using my index finger. He scared the inner of me. He took off my hand at saka hinila na ako.

"Your such a lazy woman" he mumbled out na ikinasingkit ng mga mata ko.

I want to kick him off but he's too fast anyway. Alam niya kung anong gagawin ko , he can totally sense things so fast.

"You'll stay in room , I'll sleep here" he point the couch. Napatitig naman ako sa kanya at saka ibinaling muli ang paningin sa couch.

"You sure to fit in?" His smile faded then he looks cold now.

"I can fit anywhere" there he left after saying. What a psycho.

Pumasok na ako sa loob ng kwarto at saka ipinasok sa Cabinet ang mga damit ko. I layed on the bed for a second bago tumayo at saka maghubad ng damit.

I want to change something refreshing but not revealing. Healer must be a cold person but men is men.

Sunny dress outside. Old Navy bikini inside. Baka mag swimming kami , for preparation only. I'm a girls cout but a princess in-need of a Knight yesterday.

"Are you stupid?" I blink to what he said . Me? Stupid? When did I became stupid?

"What did you just say?" I was annoyed with his words. Ako pa talaga ang tanga.

"Wearing sleeveless at night is stupidity." My jaw just drop. Ano bang masama sa sinuot ko.

"Bakit ba kayong mga babae nagsusuot ng Sleeveless , Strapless especially at night. For what?" Then he raise his eyebrow just like that?

"We're comfortable " simpleng sagot ko sa kanya then he burst laugh out loud.

"As I know. Men always put their blazers on women at night when they go for a date because they shiver in coldness , State me if I'm wrong" umawang ang labi ko sa sinabi niya. Oh my goodness I can't stop myself gripping over my dress.

"Fine you're right. I'm just doing this so atleast you'll be a little sweeter "like she's my Sweet bunny" I also act how he kiss my forehead. Sarcasms are we.

"I'd better sleep than acting infront of your friends" humiga siya sa couch then he lean his head up on the armchair.

"Really healer? Fine." Tumalikod na ako sa kanya at saka isinara ang pinto ng cottage.

I walk with all my own pero natigilan din ako at napahawak sa magkabilang braso. He's totally right malamig sa gabi. It make me think how stupid I am so suddenly.

Dati naman gusto kong mag sweater at night na halos balutin ko na ang sarili but now why do I have an urge to wear sexy dress. I wanna show my shoulder , i wanna show my collarbone it makes me feel better and sexy but why?

What's totally happening to me. Why do I feel suddenly wants a care as a woman. This is so not me. Like the hell I'm doing this?

Nahihibang na talaga ako. What a freak decision I build. Just like what wearing jelly flat shoes at night it should be slippers since I'm in the beach.

Bahala na paninindigan ko to. Hindi ako pwedeng bumalik sa assassin na yun . He will laugh at me and it's pissing me off.

I saw them in the shore having a bonfire. They wave at me and so i did wave my hand back.

"Here"' Veronica just handed me a shot of Vodka.

"No worries walang lason yan" she rolled her eyes before going back to her spot.

"It's fun to stay here. Tanggal stress " wika ni Jayca sa kanila at pasimpleng umakbay sakin.

"Right Naomi?" I just nodded back. Dapat kasi nag aaral ako ngayon pero naiinis pa rin ako kay healer.

"Where's your boyfriend?" Leo ask while the others wait for my answers.
