10: what's with this guy?

ORION

Paulit-ulit na tiningnan ko ang sarili sa salamin. Ugly unicorn has been throwing me curious stares but never dared to ask. Umikot ako sa harap ng salamin at ngumiti kasabay ng pagsuklay sa buhok gamit ang mga daliri ko.

No matter how I look at it, I am more than gorgeous it certainly hurts, I am so charming and everything!

But bitch invalidates my claim no matter how obvious it is!

This is so infuriating!

My anger was evident that I began to smash the huge mirror causing the sluts and other demons around to gather on the side to avoid being caught up in my anger. They know better not to get on my nerves especially at times like this.

"What the fuck is wrong with that woman?! Bulag ba siya?! Should I pluck her eyes out since it's just useless kung hindi naman niya nakikita ang ibig kong sabihin?! Hello, I am Lucifer, I am the best, I am charming, I am everything yet that woman would easily crunch her nose in distaste whenever she sees me?!"

One of the silly demons decided to interrupt me. "Master--"

"Shut up demon, I do not need your opinion! Go die!" singhal ko. He stepped backward and began to think it was a bad move to get into my mood right now. Nagbasag ako ng kung-anu-ano sa paligid dahil sa labis na inis.

"All of you, get the fucking out of my sight!"

They all exited the hall at huling lumabas si unicorn.

"Hey you ugly one!"

Almost everyone who heard me stopped to look back. Natampal ko ang noo at umiling. "I know all of you are ugly but I'm calling unicorn," wika ko. "So shoo all of you and you, come here."

Unicorn walked towards my side with his head bowed down.

"You read a lot right?" tanong ko.

The ugly nodded. "Yes my lord."

"So have you read about women?" dagdag ko.

Kumurap siya ng ilang beses. "Women, you say Master?"

"Yes, women," I said, slouching on my seat. "Humans."

He scanned through his planner or whatsoever he called it, the one he always carry. "Nabasa ko na may 206 na buto ang katawan ng tao-"

"I fucking knew that! What else?"

He continued flipping through his notes. "Hands and feet contains over half of the human bones--"

I rolled my eyes in annoyance. "When will you be useful? You're ugly and useless!" I groaned in frustration and slouched even more. Naiinis na nga ako, dumagdag pa siya.

"My apologies, My lord," paghingi niya ng paumanhin. "Ano po ba ang gusto ninyong malaman?"

"Nothing in particular," I chose to say. "...but hey, did you hear about the books from those people with holiness on their assholes?"

Naguguluhang napatingin siya sa akin so I chose to elaborate.

"Ang ibig kong sabihin ay baka mayroon kang nalalaman mula sa libro ng mga anghel, duh, you stupid idiot. Have you heard about a human being immune to my charms?"

Bahagya siyang yumuko. "Someone's immune to your charms my lord?"

This is fucking annoying!

"You're nothing but a foolish ugly unicorn! What am I gonna do with you?!" naasar na bulalas ko.

He bowed apologetically at nagpatuloy sa pagsasalita. "Hindi lamang po ako makapaniwala na may taong ganoon. Who can resist you my lord? Definitely nobody."

I snapped. "Right? Right!"

"Women sometimes are in denial my lord," sagot niya sa akin.

That hit me.

Right! She's just in denial when in fact she's truly whipped and hit so bad with my charms! Ha! Ha! I know it! I fucking know it!

Good strategy angel! Now I'm gonna get the satisfaction of seeing you strip away from being in denial and fall off my feet!

FAITH

I was feeling uneasy in my sleep kaya napabaling-baling ako sa higaan. I got the feeling that someone was staring over me kaya binuksan ko ang mga mata, only to find Orion sitting right across me with his annoying smirk.

"Well, good morning angel," bati niya sa akin at sinuklay ang kanyang buhok.

I almost screamed in surprise at agad na napatingin sa pinto. Still locked and no signs of forced entrance or break in. Dalawa ang lock sa pinto but I made sure to asked the utility of the dormitory last night to add another lock on the door at maging sa bintana.

Lumipat ang tingin ko sa bintana at gaya ng pinto ay ganoon din ang hitsura niyon bago ako matulog kagabi. After leaving Orion at the fastfood, I spend almost three hours to make sure he's not coming back over the night.

But now he's right here in front of me, nakangisi at nakaupong de kwatro.

"How's your sleep angel?" tanong niya sa akin.

"Paano ka nakapasok?" I asked, somewhat sounded hysterical.

"Is that good morning too?" tanong niya.

I chose to ignore him. "Paano ka nakapasok Orion?!"

He pouted at me. "Was that a big deal?"

Of course it is! I added more locks for security yet he still manage to get inside. How could that be wouldn't be a big deal?

"Orion!"

He rolled his eyes like a kid with an attitude. "I have a hundred and one ways to get inside."

Nahilamos ko ang mga palad sa mukha. Is this another apparition? Should I schedule another of my session with the psychologist today?

Tumayo siya at inayos ang collar ng suot. Wait, why is he even in his best suit so early in the morning? He even had a new haircut. What's the deal by the way?

"May lakad ka ba?" tanong ko, out of curiosity.

Napatigil siya. "No."

"Then why are you dressed like that?" tanong ko.

Mas lalo lamang siyang natigilan at naniningkit ang mga matang napatingin sa akin. "You prefer me naked angel?" He started loosening his tie. "No problem angel--"

"Wait!" I shouted in panic. I know hindi siya magdadalawang isip na maghubad, knowing how conceited he is about his charm and being gorgeous kaya hindi malabong totohanin niya talaga ang sinabi niya.

He grinned even more. "Don't you wanna see the little devil so early in the morning?"

Oh my God, what am I gonna do with him.

"Please stop," I said desperately.

He sighed in annoyance. "Boo, no fun at all. So what's for breakfast?"

Breakfast, what? Makikisali ba siya sa weekly groceries ko? Tumayo ako at kumuha ng tuwalya. Just in case in forgot, I am in my pj's without bra so I have to hug a towel at least bago pa siya mag-isip ng kung anu-ano.

"What are you doing here Orion?"

"I'm bored, I need you to scratch my foot," seryosong sagot niya.

Napasimangot ako. "What?"

"Or massage my back, or just fucking die and rot in hell choose wisely angel."

Napabuntong-hininga ako. "Bakit ba ganyan ka?"

He stopped to look at me. "Ganito? Bakit, ano ba ako?"

"Mean and everything. Who would tell people to die and rot in hell?"

He pursed his lips. "You're just too nice angel. A lot of people do that. They even kill and make dad pissed so bad and I love that."

His eyes glittered upon the thought of pissing his dad. Hindi ko alam kung ano ba talaga ang gusto niyang iparating sa mga sinasabi niya. Is he having troubles from his family? Did he run away from home? Nag-away sila ng daddy niya? From how I see it, he has issues with his dad and it's none of my business kaya kahit gusto kong itanong iyon ay ayaw kong makialam.

"You looked like you have a lot to say angel," sabi niya.

Napahinga ako nang malalim. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to say some good advice right? "Naisip ko lang, kung may problema kayo ng daddy mo, you should talk it over and ask forgiveness."

"No fucking way, unless dad would admit he's an idiot," iritableng sagot niya.

That's not the right way to call your dad. Kahit siguro magalit ako sa daddy ko, I wouldn't have the nerve to call him names because it's just too mean to call people that way, more so if it's your own father!

"But maybe communication is what you need and forgiveness--"

Nagulat na lamang ako nang sa isang iglap ay nasa harap ko na siya. Puno ng galit ang kanyang mga mata, gone was the playful aura but just angry Orion. I felt his hands held my chin, nails digging on my skin by the way he gripped me.

"What do you even know about me and my fucking dad huh?" tanong niya. He was shaking in anger and other emotion. Did I go below the belt? I thought I was just...giving some serious... oh.

Napakagat ako sa labi ko dahil sa takot. Orion is so scary right now. "I'm...I'm s-sorry."

"You should be," sagot niya. "You always rub me the wrong way you know that?"

"I...I..."

"Shut the fuck up and listen okay? It's not me who need to ask for forgiveness, it's him. He's the real prick, not me. He's the real jerk, not me. He had favorites, he's not fair, he's an idiot, he's annoying, he's an asshole!"

He seriosuly had some daddy issues but that's least of my concern now.

Natatakot ako sa kanya ngayon.

"Say something angel, you're not going to comment on that?" tanong niya.

I shook my head in reply.

Itinaas niya ang isang kamay upang punasan ang mukha ko. Eh?

I'm crying?

"See? You couldn't even handle the calm side of me and then you use your tears whenever you feel helpless but you have the guts to always rb me the wrong way," sabi niya at binitawan ako. Nanlambot ang mga tuhod ko kaya agad akong napaupo sa sahig.

He was so different whenever he's angry yet he still call that 'calm'. He's scary! So scary.

He shook his head at muling ngumiti nang matamis. Agad siyang nagbago, gone was the angry Orion. "So angel, I want coffee and yep, brewed not instant."

Kahit hindi ko alam kung kaya ko bang tumayo ay pinilit ko ang sarili dahil sa tajot. Who knows he'll throw another fit if I refuse to follow his command.

Just what's with this guy?
