Episode 31

Fernando's POV

This is so unbelievable! Of all things, I Fernando Perez is being accused of being a gay! For crying out loud, do I have the looks of gays? That nosy girl named Sabrina will hear from me when I get home. I know Micaela can never think of me to be a gay if not for her friend who brainwashed her to believe that.

But why would Micaela even believe such a lie? Is that how low she thinks of me?

"You're making me believe you're truly a gay as you're not talking" Micaela said and I glance up at her.

"Why do you care of my response to that accusations? Would it change what you already think of me?"

"Maybe you're right, you don't owe me any explanation of why you chose to be a gay, because I already know why".

I furrowed in confusion. "You already know why? What are you saying?"

She stared at me for a moment and shook her head. "Never mind. It's getting chilling out here, we should head home already. I guess we'll continue this conversation when we get to my abode".

"Yeah we definitely will. That your nosy friend has a lot of explanations to give to me" I replied and handed her my black jacket and then I hailed a cab that was approaching us.

She collected the jacket from me and put it on. "Please don't get in trouble with my girlfriend if not you'll have me to contend with".

I squint at her and she scowls at me and I responded with a smirk, "We'll see about that".

The cab stopped right in front of us and we both hopped in. Couple of minutes later we arrived at Micaela's house and good enough Sabrina was in the parlor seeing a movie. Immediately she heard the clicking sound of Micaela's heels she turnaround and stood up like she was being called upon. Such a busy body I groaned inwardly.

"Girlfriend? What are you doing here so early? Don't tell me this jerk face dragged you out of the club and left Mario all alone in the party?! Because if he did I'll kick him in his balls!" she blabs and I groan aloud and shook my head.

"No, calm down, Sabri. Actually, he did the opposite" Micaela replied.

"What do you mean he did the opposite?" Miss nosy asks.

"He saved me from Mario".

Miss Nosy snickered and shrugs. "Is Mario a bad guy that this guy here will be saving you from?"

"Obviously yes!" I answered on Micaela's behalf and miss nosy glance at me with a frown.

"Hey don't talk bad about my friend, he's a good guy, it is you that is a bad guy" she retorted and I raised a brow at her.

"How am I the bad guy here? I'm not a rapist compared to your friend Mario who is" I scoffed and miss nosy flared up in anger and storms towards me. Micaela rushed up to our middle holding her back from doing whatever she had in mind.

"Sabrina stop! I know you feel offended with what Ferd is saying but it's the bitter truth. Mario almost raped me in the club if Fernando hadn't shown up at the right time and prevented him from doing that".

"What!" Nosy lady exclaims with wide eyes. "You mean the same Mario you and I know? The sweet gentleman that buys you roses and serenaded you?!"

"Yeah, the same one" Micaela answered weakly.

So Mario has been sending her flowers and doing all sort of romantic stuffs just to get her in his bed? He's lucky I didn't know about this before now because I would have added it to his beatings.

"I can't believe this! How did it happen, what triggered him to do that? Was he drunk or something?" miss nosy asks with her high-pitched voice.

"Trying to defend him, huh?" I asks and she scowled at me.

"Shush! You're not Micaela" she shunned me and I snorted. "Oh my beautiful friend, hope he didn't hurt you?" she asks touching Micaela's face and arms.

"No, I'm fine. All thanks to Fernando I wasn't hurt. But I still feel creepy at his touch" Micaela gave an irritated frown.

"Oh my dear" Sabrina whines and hugged Micaela. "You know what girlfriend? You should go soak up yourself in a warm bath so you'll feel all clean again. Mario is going to answer me for messing with you, both on the phone and in reality!"

"I don't think talking to him again about this is necessary. Fernando already put him in his place."

Nosy glance from me to Micaela. "What did you do to him?"

"Nothing, no need to get overly worried about him. I just told him to stay away from Micaela if not he'll stop being an artist" I flashed her a smile and she raised a suspicious brow at me.

"Just that?" she asks and I nodded. "Is he telling the truth girlfriend?"

"Yes, nothing more than that" Micaela concurs and sighs.

"And you both think he'll keep to his words?" nosy asks and I shared a glance with Micaela.

"He had no choice than to keep to his words if not it'll end badly for him" I answered and she gave me a suspicious glare and glance at her friend.

"Girlfriend you and I still need to talk about this later. For now you should go have a bath and I'll have Ji-hye set up the dinning".

"Thank you. See you soon. I'll be right back Fernando, feel at home" Micaela said and left us alone.

"Well well well, we're alone finally, just what I wanted" I smiled half-heartedly at her and she rolled her eyes.

"Thank you for saving my friend. But have it mind that doesn't make you and I friends still".

"You're in fact right. I don't want to be friends with someone that is so judgemental about others without really having to know them" I fired back and she furrowed at me.

"What do you mean?" she asks looking clueless like she didn't understand what I was driving at.

"You nosy one put it in Micaela's mind that I'm a gay. True or false?"

She gasps and her mouth remained in a gape while she stared at me in shock. Oh Sabrina, your nosy self just got you in trouble. You have a lot of explanations to do tonight, so get ready for me.
