Chapter Seven: A Barbie wannabe adores me
After a few minutes of torturous walk they called rehearsal, we packed up.
“Let’s have a late lunch everyone.” Aya samin ni Chelle.
“Fine by me.” I mumbled, barely looking up from my phone.
“If you’re coming, I’m coming.” Sigrid said protectively.
I looked at her and raised my eyebrow inquiringly.
What’s with the protective tone I’m hearing?
“That fudge keeps looking at you the entire time. What is his problem and why is he here anyway?” Sigrid whispered in my ear, looking agitated.
I sigh exasperatedly. “Don’t let him bother you.” I replied and tapped her shoulder, hoping it will help her to relax.
I stop using my head when it comes to Devon. I’m too tired to figure him out.
“So, it was just Armie, Sigrid and Trey?” Chelle asked.
“I’m coming sweetie.” Robbie said in a playful manner.
Chelle rolled her eyes. “Of course, Robbie bear. You’re practically my stalker.”
“And you love it.” Robbie said, tapping the tip of Chelle’s nose.
“Ok cut. Your acting sucks.” I interrupted them, looking so darn bored with the whole cheesy expose in front of me.
“We’re in church, Armie.” Robbie reprimanded me with a visible glint of amusement on his eyes.
“Barely.” I snorted. “We’re actually outside the church.” I added, waving my hand around us.
“Ok enough.” Chelle intervened and looked around. Chelle’s friends and cousins already ditched us. “Are you coming with us, Justin?”
And for the first time after running away from him, I looked at Devon’s face.
Please say no!!!!
I mentally screamed, crossing my fingers.
“I had plans.” Devon answered.
Thank God!!
I let out a breath I didn’t realize I was holding.
But to my surprise, Devon looked at my direction and then he looked back at Chelle. “But if you don’t mind us tagging along. We would love to join you guys.” He added, a smirk is playing on his lips.
And I fought the urge to fist swipe his smirk off his face.
Sneaky bastard!!
Chelle beamed at Devon’s direction. “That’s good then. You can——–“
“Maybe your date will not like that idea.” I intervened on what Chelle’s going to say without thinking.
Opps!
I mentally facepalm myself when all of them except Sigrid, threw me a suspicious look.
Devon crooked his head, his lips turned up in a teasing grin. “She would not mind.” He replied, feigning innocence.
Devon always managed to screw up my day. I don’t know how he can pull it off but he always did.
Why did I agree to join this fucking lunch again? I should just order a pizza and watch some sappy film so I can bitch out the heroine for being so pathetic.
“The more, the merrier. You and your date can join us.” Chelle said, looking at Devon with a broad smile.
Robbie groaned and snorted at Devon’s direction.
He’s not hiding his contempt and irritation to Devon na malaking ipinagpapasalamat ko.
It’s good to know that the Devon’s haters club is still sailing.
“Thank you, sunshine.” Devon beamed, grinning from ear to ear.
“Babe.” A voice yelled behind us. We all spun around, only to be greeted by a freaking Barbie doll.
I raised my eyebrow.
I don’t know if I’ll be amused or irritated by this. But her tits are huge. I can give her that.
The Barbie wannabe threw herself to Devon’s arm and kissed him without even acknowledging us.
Why do I have this feeling that I had seen this before?
This scene is so familiar.
After a few minutes of too much public display of affection, she finally stopped sucking the Devil’s face.
But the damage is already done.
My eyes had already been tainted.
That was the worst lip lock I’ve ever seen!
The Barbie wannabe surprisingly greeted us pagkatapos nitong alisin yung pagkakalambitin nito sa leeg ng demonyo.
Devon is introducing everyone when his date shrieked in our confusion and utter surprise.
Have mercy on my freakin ears!
“Oh my god! You’re Armie Cortez?” She screamed as she peered at my face.
“Last time I checked, yes.”
The Barbie wannabe clapped her hands, jumping with joy and excitement?
Ok. She’s crazy! Definitely crazy!
“The same Armie Cortez of Vogue?” She asked like a love sick puppy, ready to kneel and lick my feet with so much adoration.
I nodded my head, looking so bored and annoyed. “Yes.”
“OMG! OMG! You’re like my God, well—-“ She paused and shrieked again. “You’re like my goddess! I bought all the things you modelled. From clothes to everything! “ She continued, too enthusiastically to my liking as she suddenly engulfed me with a tight embrace.
And she forgot to buy a brain? She might as well buy some “real” reading materials.
I sighed and gave her one of my practice smiles. “Thank you dear. Now, let me breath, you’re suffocating me.”
I let out an exasperated sigh and tilted my head only to find Robbie who is smiling like a moron and Chelle who is looking dumbfounded.
“What is she talking about? Vogue? You’re a model?” Chelle asked.
“Sweetie, Armie worked as a model nung mga panahon na nasa States pa kami. She’s not that serious about it though.” Sagot ni Robbie bago pa ako makasagot kay Chelle.
“It was not a big deal.” I added, shrugging my shoulders nonchalantly to prove my point.
“Not a big deal? That was a big accomplishment! That’s my dream and I will kill anyone to have your spot. How did you manage to get in? I can’t get in no matter how much I tried.” The Barbie doll complained, pouting her lips like a duck.
Not a very good mannerism and sight as well.
“Because life is a bitch?” I replied with a fake smile and overly sweet voice.
Contrary to what I predicted, the Barbie doll screamed to her heart’s content. “OMG! I knew it!! You’re so cool!”
“I swear. You make me look like Marie Curie.” I said, shaking my head with so much disappointment.
The Barbie wannabe frowned in confusion. “Who’s that?”
I just stared at her face in disbelief.
If I’m gonna talk to her any further, my brain will explode.
Or I might die.
“I’ve never encountered anyone ——–“ I stopped talking when Sigrid suddenly yanked my arm.
“As pretty as you!” Mabilis na singit ni Sigrid.
I stared at her and threw her a look that clearly stated, “What the hell!”
“Stop being a beach ball.” She whispered in my ear.
Hindi ko mapigilan ang paglitaw ng ngiti sa mga labi ko dahil sa choice of word nito.
She knew what I’m really gonna say is “as dumb as you!”
She purposely cut me off. Being nice is not fun at all.
“We’re going to grab some lunch, join us.” Chelle interrupted us, being the kind hearted that she is.
I rolled my eyes. “And you can get yourself an autograph from me.” I added with a teasing smile.
But to my surprise, the Barbie wannabe grabbed my hand excitedly. “Really? Can you sign your name here?” She asked, pointing her upper breast in view.
Sigrid gasped scandalously. Of course! Tainting my poor Sigrid’s eyes.
Trey scoffed in disbelief. Good to know that I don’t need to hunt him down in case he broke my best friend’s heart.
Robbie snorted and buried his face in the crook of Chelle’s neck. People really change. I’m darn sure if this happened a few months ago, Robbie will lick it like a freaking candy.
Chelle chuckled amusingly. Only Chelle will find something amusing in this situation.
Devon looking crestfallen on the side. All the trace of smirk and mischievousness on his face disappeared.
Serves him right. Bringing a date that is surprisingly my avid fan. I will hang myself if I were him.
And now, come to think of it, his date is not so bad after all.
I chuckled at my thoughts. “Sure thing, Barbie doll.” I said, beaming at Devon’s direction.
He should know, a Barbie wannabe adores me!
“This lunch is going to be interesting.” I added, when I saw Devon sulking more in the background.
