Goodbye Lullaby (COMPLETED)

Chapter 21

And do you celebrate your dark side
Then wish you'd never left the house?
Have you ever spent a generation trying to figure that one out?

"Damn, baka madurog 'yan!" Nanuya agad si Valentine nang makalapit pagkatapos umalis ng babaeng kasama niya kanina. Humalakhak siya't umupo sa tabi namin ni Eros. "Whipped motherfucker. 'Di na makahinga si Dionne!"

"Shut up." Tumigil din si Eros na inaayos ang pag-upo ko sa kandungan niya. I smirked. He was trying not to make me sit on his hard on when I can literally feel it poking my leg. Matatag pa rin ang yakap niya sa beywang ko kaya hindi ko alam kung paano kakalma iyon. I could only wish him good luck.

"Man, you're so clingy. It's disgusting."

Walang pakiaalam si Eros do'n kaya ako ang sumagot. "Inggit ka?"

"Oo, sali nga ako."

Sumabog ang tawa ko nang kumandong din siya sa isang hita ni Eros at niyakap ito sa tagiliran. The greek god immediately shove him away. Magkasabay ang halakhak nila ni Justin nang bumagsak ulit ito sa couch.

"You're so harsh to me!" Valentine played hurt.

"'Di naman kita mahal," sagot naman nitong isa habang hinahalikan ang buhok ko.

"Yuck!"

I laughed at Valen. "Ang baby ko na 'yan... 'lika, ako yayakap d'yan."

"Shut up, mahal." Hinawi ni Eros ang kamay kong umaabot sa tumatawang si Valentine. Pinirmi niya iyon sa hita kong nakalantad dulot ng maikling leather shorts na suot.

"You're so possessive!" I bantered even when I just wanted to tease him. His eyebrows raised. "Of course, I am."

Napakagat ako ng labi at napailing. May sinasabi pang pang-asar si Valen pero hindi ko na pinansin dahil halos mawala ako sa mga titig ni Eros. He looked damn proud... parang hindi dahil sa inaming possessive siya, kundi dahil sa nakaupo ako sa kandungan niya!

He fucking smirked.

And I unconsciously did, too. Like there was a string forcing me to do the same thing... for always.

Humupa ang asaran nang mag-usap si Justin at Valen. Nag-inom naman ako habang tahimik lang si Eros na tumatanggap ng tagay. I also watched Chlio and Parker from our table. Mukha namang nagkakamabutihan sila dahil lagi ang tawanan nila.

Napanguso ako. "Should I go back to Chlio?"

Humigpit agad ang yakap niya sa beywang ko gamit ang magkahawak pa rin naming mga kaliwang kamay. "Why?" He asked like he didn't get why I had to go back.

Tss. "It's still girls' night! Pinakilala ko siya kay Parker, tapos nasa 'yo ako ngayon?" Nilingon ko siya at nakita ang pagkunot ng noo niya.

"Isn't that the purpose of your girls' night? Be her wingwoman..."

Napaawang ako at bahagya siyang hinampas. "Of course not! I brought her here so we can finally hang out! 'Tsaka, love, I think I caught her off guard."

"How so?" He lazily drawled.

Napanguso ako. Shit, I don't even know if I should tell him. But this is just Eros. He doesn't care about things as long as it doesn't concern him.

"I was shocked, okay?" I said like it was a damn disclaimer. He chuckled and pecked my lips before mumbling a soft okay.
