Chapter 6

  • FVCK UP LOVE
  • CHAPTER SIX
  • Cliff Piers Sandoval’s POV
  • Several days have passed by since I was last able to see Emery. I got busy mending my broken heart, I mean head, but don’t mind me... I am just kidding. I am now here at my condo unit together with my band mates. Yes, I have a band. I just said it and you have just read it. Kidding again. I will now be serious.
  • Let me now introduce you to my band mates. Our band consists of five members. Rodney and Ezee play the guitar. Del plays the drum. While Symon and I are on vocals. We gathered today because, supposedly, we had a rehearsal, but it was canceled because Del had an emergency to attend to.
  • Our supposed rehearsal ended up with a heart-to-heart talk. I confessed to them that I had a crush on Emery, and they promised to assist me in courting the evil one, er, Emery. They are the ones who offered the help, despite of me describing what kind of girl Emery was. Well, Emery is one of a kind. Independent and has a cold-heart, but I still like her.
  • "Cliff, before we continue creating a perfect plan, maybe you should cook some food for us. Our brain cells will not function if we are starving." Ezee jokingly said.
  • "I totally agree with you, Ezee." Symon said.
  • I looked at Rodney, I know he has something to add.
  • "Go ahead, Cliff, cook for us. We will be planning while you are busy cooking. Leave this thing to us."
  • In the end, I just stood up and went to the kitchen. What a perfect circle of friends, right?
  • After an hour, I went back to see them, bringing with me the food that I had cooked.
  • Their eyes were twinkling upon seeing it.
  • "Alright! Let’s eat first!" Rodney said.
  • I am just looking at them as they are eating like there is no tomorrow. Are they really that hungry? My poor friends. Haha, kidding.
  • "Cliff, look. We have already come up with a great plan on how you will effectively start courting your neighbor. " Ezee said. Look, even though he is my friend and a band mate, of course, I don’t really trust him. If you guys only see Ezee’s face right now, it seems like he has created a prank on his mind.
  • "You can thank us in advance because for sure, you will succeed when you follow our plan." Rodney added,
  • "Please elaborate on the plan that you guys are saying." I said
  • They fix their sitting position as if they are sitting next to the king. I smirked. I just hope they are not kidding me.
  • "To begin with, why don’t you invite Emery here?" said Symon.
  • "I strongly disagree. It is impossible for her to do it." I immediately answered.
  • "Just give it a try. Come on Cliff."
  • "What will happen next if I invite her here?"
  • "We will sing a song for her. A Capella. "
  • "Do you think it will work?" I was hesitant with their plan.
  • "Of course! We are popular and have a huge fan base, right? So she will probably fall for you after we performed in front of her."
  • "And also, it is her privilege to see us perform especially for her."
  • I shook my head. I think their idea will not work.
  • "Change your plans, guys," I said.
  • But instead of thinking of another plan, the three stood up.
  • "What’s the room number of Emery?" Symon asked.
  • "W-why?" I suddenly felt nervous. Maybe they are planning something shameful.
  • "We will convince her to go here, or vice versa. We could also perform in her unit if she would just let us. "
  • "That’s right. And maybe if she recognizes us, maybe she will entertain us at least. "
  • I paused for a while. Shall I fall for their idea?
  • "Alright then," this is it.
  • Even though I strongly disagree with their idea, I lead them towards Emery’s room.
  • We all stopped in front of her door. Choosing who will press the door bell. Ezee did it. Cross-finger, I just hope Emery will not slam the door upon seeing our faces.
  • After so many years of pressing the door bell, Emery finally opened the door.
  • She was scratching her eyes. It seemed like she had just gotten up from the bed.
  • This is bad. I see a dark aura around us.
  • "Uhm... Hello." Ezee started the conversation.
  • "Hello, your face. What do you need?" I am sure that Emery will explode in anger in just a few more seconds.
  • "Can we invite you to Cliff’s unit?" Rodney asked.
  • "Birthday?"
  • "No,"
  • "Then why invite me?"
  • Rodney scratched his head. It seems like he is running out of words. I warned them about Emery’s attitude earlier, so it is not my fault if they are now dealing with it.
  • "We are preparing something for you," Symon said.
  • "Prepare what?"
  • Here she is again. Asking a lot of questions. I am used to it. That is why I just remained silent.
  • "Can you just come with us?" That’s Rodney. He sounds a bit irritated. Among us, he has the shortest temper.
  • "Come because?"
  • "Miss because..."
  • Alright, I smell war so I stand in the middle of them. Emery gave me a death glare, then she looked again at my friends.
  • "The three of you, I will go to Cliff’s unit if you guys can convince me."
  • My three friends nodded.
  • "Give me the reasons why I should come. It starts with you..." then Emery pointed at Ezee.
  • "You should come because we are handsome." Ezee answered, but Emery just rolled her eyes.
  • "Next..." This time she pointed at Symon. It seemed like my friends were having a graded recitation.
  • "You should come with us because we are popular. It is a great privilege for you that you must grab." Symon answered. In all honesty, I am ashamed of their answer.
  • "This will be the last chance. If I am not satisfied with your answer, then I will not come. Spill your answer," she is now referring to Rodney.
  • Rodney, Rodney, Rodney, just be sure to provide a valid and winning answer.
  • "You should come because we will serve you lots of food and drink, take note: alcoholic drink. Sounds great, right? So, shall we call it a deal?" Rodney sounds so confident with his answer.
  • "Alright then, I will just take a shower. I'll go there in a while. " Then she slammed the door, leaving the four of us shocked outside her unit.
  • "We did it! We have won the toughest battle our band has ever encountered! " said Rodney, then we both laughed.
  • What a relief. It seemed impossible, but we made it!
  • Now, what will be the next step?
