Being a Mobster's Girlfriend

Uno

"Boss instructed us to report everything that you do, Miss." I took a deep breath. I've been hearing all the same answers from this man since like forever.

"I am fine here. Besides, ayokong binubuntutan nyo ako. Can you tell him na wag syang oa?" I said exasperatedly. Hindi ko talaga magets kung bakit kailangan pa akong sundan kahit na nasa loob lang ako ng opisina. Seryoso, anong pwedeng mangyari sakin dito? The worst thing that could happen to me here would be tripping on the staircase.

Pero gaya ko, ayaw magpatalo sakin ng lalaking ito. "Sorry Miss. But mobster's order cannot be broken."

Sa inis ko nilagpasan ko na lang sya at pumasok na sa loob ng building ng El Godillo. I'd be late for my work kapag nakipagtalasan pa ako ng dila sa bodyguard kuno ko.

Kaso mukhang masasarhan pa yata ako ng elevator. So I hastely walk towards it.

But a hand already stopped the elevator for me. I smiled to myself. May perks din pala ang may alalay.

"Thanks." I mumbled as I stepped inside the lift.

"My pleasure, Miss." He replied.

Then the elevator doon closed.

Nang makarating na ako sa cubicle ko, agad kong inutusan ang secretary ko na gawan ako ng coffee. I opened my computer then started doing what I have to do.

Until I felt my phone vibrated.

Kaide calling...

Nagulat ako nang makita ang pangalan ni Kaide. Honestly, he never called me early this morning. Until now..

"Hello?" Medyo kinakabahan ako. No scratch that. Kinakabahan talaga ako. Ni hindi ko alam kung bakit sya tumatawag? I feel like a 14-year-old-virgin-girl. Sheez.

"Silver said you're still giving him a hard time," bungad sakin ni Kaide. Pertaining to the bodyguard kuno ko.

Napairap ako sa hangin. Hindi ko alam na sa laki ng katawan ng lalaking yun, may pagkasumbungero pala.

"Good morning. You know I really don't like being followed," I told him honestly.

"And you know I don't like it when you go against my order," he countered.

I took a deep breath. He sounded bossy as usual. Ganun ba talaga kapag leader ng malaking gang? Ang angas masyado.

"Is this all about me being stubborn that's why you called?" I asked exasperatedly.

"No. I called to tell you I'll be on your flat tonight."

"What? Aren't you suppose to be with Leila tonight? It's Tuesday," I said.

"Quit asking. Bye." Then he hang up.

Seriously, dalawang buwan palang simula nang maging girlfriend ako ng isang mobster. Two months passed pero di parin ako masanay sanay. I am still not used to Silver- the sumbungerong bodyguard. And I am still not used to Kaide's super sweet attitude. Please note my sarcasm.

What Kaide and I have is no romantic thing. For him I guess... In fact he never gave me romantic things like chocolate, letters, or flowers. Instead of flowers, chocolates and letters, he gave me a condo in one of the busiest city in the country. A head-turning car that is way too sexier than Megan Fox.

A bittersweet smile flashed on my face as I remember the time when he started treating me as his. Ni hindi nya nga ako niligawan. At hindi man lang nya ako binigyan ng chance magpakipot. He is too claiming. What he wants, surely he gets.
