P.S. Obsessively In Love With You

Chapter 28

Nisha's POV

It's been a few weeks since Hans left me alone. Lucian did came back to my house carrying his things, and from then on I was forced to become a prisoner in my own home.
He made me stop working, saying that he could make much more than I ever could and I should focus on myself and him.
Everyone knows that I'm in a relationship with him even my family, but they didn't suspect a thing. They're just simply happy that I've finally decided to be with someone. It's not like gusto kong mainvolve sila sa gulong to, so I guess it's actually a good thing na wala silang alam sa nangyayari sakin ngayon.

Lucian was still the biggest asshole of all time, making me tag along with him whenever he has photoshoots and when he's going somewhere to do some of his vlogs. There are times na lilitaw ako sa vlogs nya kahit na ayaw ko and I was forced to be a sweet girlfriend.. If I didn't, he'd glare at me while holding the camera and would mouth the word "Hans"
Damn him.

As of now, we were preparing for bed. The moment na humiga ako, I felt his slim arms wrapped around my waist as he pulled me closer to him. I could feel his warm breath on my nape, stirring my hair slightly.
“Goodnight, my love. I love you.“ he murmured, kissing my hair.

I didn't reply which made him chuckle, pulling me a little more closer to him, my back now pressing against his stomach and chest.
A few minutes ticked by and I felt his breath became more shallow and his soft snoring.
Living with Lucian made me realize one thing, he's a heavy sleeper.
I took off his arms around me and stood up from the bed. Something that I always do the moment he moved in with me. The moment he was asleep were the only few moments I could have my freedom. Kahit ilang oras lang.
The only thing I could see every hour is face. Nakakasawa. I could not leave his sight, he won't let me. Gusto ko mang lumabas ay hindi din pwede.
He put a new padlock on my gate, something that could open with a password na sya lang ang nakakaalam, so the only freedom I have is me roaming my house in the middle of the night, pretending that everything is alright and there's no Lucian.

My gaze went to the phone on the bedside table next to Lucian. I don't have a phone. He won't let me have one. The only things that keeps my boredom at bay where the books and gaming consoles that he bought for me.
I gaze at Lucian who was sleeping peacefully, then back at the phone. As quietly as possible kinuha ko yung phone nya and turned it on. I cringed when I saw his lockscreen was a very unflattering stolen picture of me where I was yawning.
His password is.. I put on my birthday.
Incorrect. I huffed in frustration. I tried his birthday but it was still incorrect.

Ano ba yung..? I tried to remember our "anniversary" the day where he claimed to everybody that I was his girl.
Is it….? A smirk went to my lips nang mabuksan ko ito.
What am I doing with his phone? Well, it's obvious that I can't contact someone because he'll surely know, but I'm looking for any kind of weakness that he may have that I can use against him. Maybe I could even find a clue kung saan nya tinatago yung sex tape ni Hans at maidelete ko na. Yung malanding bakla namang kasi yun eh, makikipag-sex na nga lang kailangan vi-videohan pa.

I gaze at Lucian and saw that he was still sleeping. Worrying that the light from the phone would wake him up, I stood up at bumaba sa kusina.
Kapag nagising sya, I could simply say that I couldn't sleep and could hide the phone from him since agad ko naman syang maririnig pag bumaba sya sa hagdan. I doubt if cellphone ang una nyang hahanapin pag nagising sya so I could simply put back the phone to his bedside table.

Umupo ako sa dining chair and started to search inside Lucian's phone. The first thing that I went to is the gallery but there was nothing there except thousands of picture of him and me.. Mostly me.
I went to the files, hoping na nakatago lang yung video kaya di makita sa gallery. I was so focused that I didn't even notice the time passing by.

I let out a squeal when a cup of coffee was placed in front of me. I looked up and saw Lucian sitting across from me, sipping from his own cup.

“G-Gising ka?”  I dumbly asked.

“Obviously.” he said, putting his cup down and staring at me.
“Why do you have my phone?”

“I uh.. Um.. Naghahanap ng.. Games?” I said and face palmed mentally. Great, I sounded like a six year old.

“Games? I've bought you every single gaming console on the market as well as the games that you liked, and you are skimming through my files.. Tell me.” he said,
“Anong hinahanap mo?”

“Nothing.” I said and put the phone on the table in front of him and stood up, taking the cup of coffee with me.
“I'm going to bed, goodnight.”

When we were at the living room I was about to go upstairs when he suddenly gripped my arm. The coffee I was holding spilling everywhere making me let go as the cup fell and shattered to the ground.

“Ano b--” he grabbed my face with his large hand, squeezing it with his fingers painfully.

“I know what you're trying to do.” he said with a smile, but his grip was so tight that I started to whimper.

He suddenly threw me across the floor, my hands immediately cupping my mouth that started to ache.
“Why? Why are you being so ungrateful Nisha? Ginagawa ko naman lahat diba?! I could give you everything you want! And this is how you repay me?!”

I kept quiet as he went near me.
“You think I was stupid enough to put the video where you can easily delete it? You won't find it. And even if you did what can you do? The whole fucking world knows you're mine. You won't get away.” he then sighed, trying to calm himself.
He kneeled down in front of me. I let out a small whimper as I tried to distance myself away from him.
“Nisha, I'm doing my best to make this relationship work. Binibili kita ng kahit anong gusto mo, pinoprotektahan kita at inaalagaan.. And this.. And this is how you repay me?”

He closed his eyes tightly then gulped as if controlling his anger.
“You better learn your place, Nisha. I do not want to hurt you, but you kept making me do it.”

His eyes darted to the shattered cup on the ground then sighed,
“Go back to our room. Lilinisin ko lang to. Don't do anything stupid.”

I nodded my head, quickly standing up and scrambling upstairs to the bedroom.
No, Nisha. Please wag kang umiyak. A few stray tears escaped my eyes and I quickly wiped them away.
You promised that you'd fight. You'll escape him. You need to think of a better plan pero ano?
I went inside the bedroom and sat on the bed, my gaze going to the large papercup on top of my dresser with the logo of "Pie In The Sky"

---

That morning I woke up to someone shaking my shoulder gently. I opened my eyes and saw Lucian. I quickly sat up and saw that there was a mini table on my bed with food on it.

“Pinaghanda na kita ng almusal.” he said as a frown etched on his face. He lifted his hand and I recoiled but he still managed to grab my face, this time it was very gentle as he caressed my cheeks.
“Masakit pa rin ba?”

I'm sure he's talking about the marks he left on my face. I'm sure they're bruised.
I shook my head making him smile.
“That's good. Ikaw naman kasi eh.”

‘Yeah right’

I mentally rolled my eyes.

We started to eat the breakfast that he prepared and I did my best to stop myself from commenting how bland his cooking is. Mas magaling pa nga magluto si Matt sakanya considering Matt is the worst cook I've ever met.
At least may lasa yung mga luto ni Matt kahit madalas sunog.

My gaze went back to the dresser pero wala na yung paper cup na nandun.
“Lucian?”

“Hm?”

“Pwede bang pumunta tayo dun sa malapit na cafe dito? Yung Pie in the sky.” I said and he stopped eating as he gave me a suspicious glare.

“Why?”

“Nagke-crave kasi ako nung mga sweets nila.” I said and he continued eating.

“Ibibili na lang kita mamaya.”

“Um okay.. But nakalimutan ko kasi yung pangalan nun eh, color black sya na may blue or violet na cupcake na ewan.” I said and he gaze at me with confusion.
“Kinain ko na dati yun eh, it tasted sweet and a little spicy na may--”

“Fine, sumama ka sakin but don't take too long.” he said, making me smile.
