"Let go of me!" Sambit ko sa kanya at sinabi ko na ba na iritadong-iritado na ako sa kanya at gusto ko na siyang suntukin ulit?

"Look. Just go back there and let that fvcking engagement happen; Wala ka ng magagawa pa at hindi mo na mababago ang isip ng daddy mo. You are now my fiance, whether you like it or not, kaya tanggapin mo na lang," he said to me so emphatically that I couldn't help but look at him with a full sarcastic look. .

"Teka nga lang. Answer me honestly, Earl Zach Villanueva,” sinambit ko ang buong pangalan niya.

“Why are you always saying the word fiance? Ganyan ka na ba ka proud para tanggapin agad na fiance mo ako? Am I that attractive that you immediately want to be my fiance? Huwag mong sabihin na na love at first sight ka ngayon sa’kin? I'm sorry, but I want a girl, and I will never like men like you!" Hindi ko maiwasang matawa habang sinasabi iyon sa kanya, but my eyes widened when he pulled me closer to him and grabbed my waist.

"Yuck! Ew! Nakakadiri ka! Bakit ka nang yayakap bigla?! What the fvcking are you doing?! Let go of me! Manyak!" I yelled at him. Hawak hawak ako ng isang alake ngayon at subrang lapit namin na pati ang hangin ay mahihiya ng dumaan? This is really disgusting! Nakakadiring yakapin ng isang lalake!

"You don't want to be engaged to me?" he asked, ignoring what I said.

"Ayaw ko! Ayaw ko! Ayaw ko! Ngayon kung hindi mo pa rin maintindihan ang lahat ng sinabi ko sayo, wala na akong magagawa. Wala na akong pakealam sayo! I don't want to be your fiance kaya bitawan mo na ako!" I yelled at him and used all my strength to get away from him, but he didn't let me and even let himself come closer to me, hindi pa ata siya nakuntento sa subrang lapit namin ngayon!

My eyes widened when he suddenly caressed my back, and he had a smile on his lips. Nang-aasar pa ata ng bakulaw na ito!

"You don't want to? Why? Are you afraid that I will make you a straight woman? Natatakot ka ba na dumating ang pagkakataon na mahulog ka sa’kin at kainin mo ang lahat ng mga sinabi mo?" Tanong nito sa’kin, and I wanted to punch him again when he looked at my lips and caressed them like he wanted to kiss them!

Damn it! Don't you fvcking dare! Nakakadiri ka talaga!

"Your face was really thick. I'll never like you," I said to him, but he just laughed.

"Really? So sinasabi mo bang hindi mo talaga ako magugustuhan?" He even used a bedroom voice while asking that. Is he thinking that he can attract me with that voice?

"I won't like you," I told him firmly.

He nodded and loosened his hold on me.

"Alright. Prove it. Agree to this engagement," he said, so I stopped and looked at him.

"What am I? Stupid?" I asked him sarcastically.

"If you've proven that you'll never love me, then fine. Ipapangako ko na kapag napatunayan mo, ako mismo ang magpapatigil sa engagement na ‘to," he said to me seriously, making me think about it.

That's easy, isn't it? I will never fall in love with him because I grew up being like this. I also know that I will never like him. Kampante ako na hindi magkakagusto sa kanya.

I looked at him seriously. He is just waiting for my answer.

"Before I answer you, I want to know why you are doing this. Why do you really want this engagement?" I asked him.

"Because I like you," he said, making me stop.

"What?" Halos matawa kong tanong sa kanya kasi hindi iyon kapani-paniwala.

"Because you are right. I like you," he said, which made me laugh agai, pero nakatingin lang siya sa’kin ng seryoso kaya natigilan ako sa pagatawa.

"You are making fun of me. We both just saw—"

"I saw you last night in the hotel," he said, so I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"So?" I want to ask.

"This is not our first meeting, and I want you to know that I like you," he started, and he was too serious for me to say that he was just fooling me. "The first time I saw you, you already got my heart and attention. You're different from the women I've seen in my whole life," he added, making me gasp. I feel like something is wrong with my ears. I can't believe that I am hearing those words from him.

I was just joking a while ago that he might fall in love at first sight with me, but wait. What is this? I laughed. There was no laughter or sarcasm on his face, so I was even more confused.

"Fine. If you said so, but make sure that when I prove that I will never like you, you will stop this engagement."

He nodded. "Now, let's go back there," he said. I rolled my eyes and just walked back there.

Zacky's POV

I shook my head as I followed her back to the dining area. I don't intend to say some lies, but I feel that if I don't lie a little, she won't believe me.

Fvck! I held my jaw. She punched hard. I didn't expect that. Nadagdagan nanaman ang atraso niya sa’kin. First, she vomitted in my clothes, and then next, this. Fvck! She punched me, and I was really angry right now, but I need to stop myself from shouting at her. Kailangan kong makuha ang tiwala niya.

When we came back, they seemed to be talking about something serious, and I immediately noticed their surprise when they saw that Callie was with me. They were silent as Callie went back to her seat.

"She's said yes," I said briefly to break the silence.

"She said? What?" Tito Zeyo suddenly asked me and glanced at her daughter. Callie rolled her eyes.

"Pumapayag na akong ma engage sa kanya," she said with a frown. Tito Zeyo and Tita Helie looked like that is a miracle, until Daddy suddenly clapped his hand and now smiling.

"Then it's fixed," Daddy said.

Tito Zeyo sighed and nodded in agreement that the conversation was fixed. I get my glass and drink the water on it. I can't help but look at Callie, who is now wearing a frown expression.

Sisiguraduhin kong mawawala ang pagkatomboy mo! I will make sure that, hanggang sa dumating ang punto na magmakaawa kang halikan ka habang nakahiga sa kama. Magiging akin nag islang iyon.
