Tourney of Beguiling (North Series #2: Fausea)

Chapter 8

Jealousy

Ilang beses akong napapasinghap lalo na noong kaming dalawa nalang sa elevator. Hindi ako kumikibo, buti nalang at binitawan na niya ako kaninang nakalabas ang dalawang lalake.

It feels so awkward lalo nang marating naming ang penthouse niya sa top floor.

I was greeted by the wall glass, tanaw ang kahabahan ng BGC. Damn, I could live here forever. The view is breath-taking. I love the city so much, it's too modern and freedom is overflowing especially at night.

I am too amazed. His wide penthouse plus this good view. Does he live alone? Syempre, dahil may bahay sila sa Forbes park. Nandoon siguro ang Mama niya.

I was too caught up in the moment until I felt his presence on my back.

"What did you take me here, Rhyno?" I lazily turned to face him.

Madilim ang kaniyang mata gaya ng paligid. Pansin niya sigurong naeenhanyo ako sa ilaw ng mga buildings kaya dim lang ang lights.

Hindi siya sumagot. Nakipagtitigan lang, I was too embarrassed dahil sa suot kong manipis na pantulog lamang na natatakpan ng roba.

I sighed. "Ano? Hindi ka magsasalita? Uuwi na ako-"

"And what? Talk to that guy earlier?" marahas niyang sabi.

Napasinghap ako sa gaspang ng pagkakasabi niya.

"H-hindi sa ganon...."

The side of his lips rose up humorlessly. "Tell me, Fau.... sino 'yon? Sino ang kausap mo?"

His voice was calmed but I could sense his anger. The warning on it na dapat maayos ang sagot ko kundi ay malalagot ako. I couldn't explain our state right now, it was like he's an alpha threatening his prey.

I frowned. Why is he acting this way as if he was betrayed?

My phone suddenly vibrated na hindi ko alam na nadala ko pala. Walang lock iyon kaya nagflash ang mensahe.

From: Cole Lacoste

Hey, sweetheart. I was hoping if you could come to our victory party tomorrow night?

Akala ko mabilis ang reflexes ko dahil naitago ko kaagad ang phone pero nang makita ang mukha ni Rhyno ay dumagundong ng panibagong kaba ang puso ko.

The darkness in his eyes told me to run. Napatili ako nang tinulak niya ako, I landed on the sofa.

I gulped when he firmly locked me on the sofa. Right! He does mixed martial arts!

His veins are potruding and his jaw are clenching habang pinipirmi ako. His hands on my legs is making me uneasy. Napapaso ako at naninindig balahibo.

"Rhyno, ano bang ginagawa mo?!"

"Ilan kami, Fau? Ilan kaming pinapaikot mo?" he growled.

"What are you saying?!"

Nagsukatan kami ng tingin. Masama atang pareho kaming dominante pero kapag siya na ang kausap parang umuurong ang tapang ko.Rhyno is just so full of power in every aspect. I can't top up his level of supremacy.

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang mapagdugtong-dugtong ang lahat. He is mad because of Bellamy earlier, now.....Cole's text.

My heart skipped a beat when a conclusion shot my thought.

"A-are you jealous?"

Hindi nagbago ang mukha niya. Galit na galit pa rin.

I laughed sarcastically. "Don't tell me you're attracted to me, Rhyno Villarojo?"
