*JENNIE'S POV*

(May change of POV po maya-maya share ko lang)

I'm pacing inside my room back and forth. Checking my makeup for the nth time knowing its useless since it'll get smudged once Malee slaps my face in.... I look at my watch. Yes, in 15 minutes.

Gosh, can things get so random like this? Bakit kaya magtetext si Malee na imeet ko siya ngayong araw to talk? To talk.

I can't remember anything bad I've done to her besides kissing her fiancé during my father's funeral. Anyway, I'm ed. Nalaman niya na siguro? Thinking of it, I didn't get the chance to talk to her because Lisa went back to Thailand again because of an urgent business matter and Malee followed her there. I didn't even know she was back. 

Kaya naman laking gulat ko nung makareceive ako ng text message from Malee asking me to meet her.

After much contemplation, napagdesisyunan kong umalis na ng bahay para makapunta na sa location na sinend niya at para matapos na to.

................

"Why is he here?" I asked as I looked at Jackson habang nilalagay niya yung drinks na inorder nila sa table namin.

"Jackson, can you get a separate table for the meantime? I need to talk to Jennie in private." Malee said with nonchalance at sumunod naman si Jackson who was all smiles.

"I'm sorry." Inunahan ko na siya. 

"Ha?" sagot niya. "You're meeting me here because you want to... I don't know?? Kill me?" I uttered, then realizing how stupid I must have sounded. 

"Why would I do that?" tanong niya innocently kaya naman I raised my brow. "Then why?"

"About Lisa.." she trailed off. Confirmed, she'll have me killed.

"I know I kissed her and I'm sorry!" I almost shouted causing other people na malapit sa table to look at us. Ngumiti lang siya.

"I know. That's why I'm here." she informed me and adjusted her grasp on her cup of coffee. 

"To kill me?" tanong ko ulit and she laughed this time. "Do I look like a killer to you?" tanong niya sakin.

"Hope not." 

"Lisa's coming back next week." she stated again. Why is she telling me this? Sila kaya yung engaged. Why do I have to know? 

"You should see her, in the airport. She'd like that." Malee said as she peeked at where Jackson was seated and waved. It was really weird. When were they this close?

"You see.. I'm dating Jackson now." bigla niyang sabi at nanlaki yung mata ko. Aba ako pa kinabahan eh siya pala yung nagchicheat kay Lisa?! What the?

"Why do you look like you're about to bite my head off?" she shrugged. "You're cheating on Lisa. I know we're not on good terms but I care for her and I lo-" I cut off what I was about to say. 

She smiled with her eyes tapos tumawa nanaman siya. Ang kapal.

"We broke it off. It wasn't even real. I mean we had some kind of relationship before pero when we came here, we broke it off. My knight in shining armor aka Lisa just did me a big favor and pretended to be may fiancé, fyi." tuloy-tuloy niyang sabi while I squinted my eye as I processed this information.

"She's still hung up on someone." dagdag niya pa.

"In case you didn't get what I mean.. She's hung up on you. Now I'm doing her a favor." she ended with a proud smile.

"Just... Please don't hurt her again?" pakiusap sakin ni Malee as she took both of my hands. I nodded too many times. "I'll text you her flight details, okay?" I nodded.

"So... You and Jackson?" I asked.

"Thought you'd never ask!" she exclaimed and we stayed there to talk for some more hours.
