He Is Dangerous Man

CHAPTER 1

One month earlier. . . .

Nakatingin ako sa bintana ng jeep, watching two holstein calves grazing in the field beyond the barbwire fence. Ilan sa kanila ay may lugar ng katulad ng kay mickey mouse, at hindi ko kayang tumunganga doon.

"earth to jane," nanggaling ang boses sa tabi ko. I twist around and meet the dark brown eyes of logan, my almost boyfriend

"sorry, i was spacing out,"

Nag fake pout naman sya at natawa naman ako sa sobrang cute nya, pero ang tawa ko ay napalitan ng pag tuyo ng lalamunan ng lumapit sya sa akin at niyakap ako ng napakahigpit. Bumalik naman ako sa sarili ko ng may biglang nag salita.

"ewww. . . ,"says a familiar voice. Humarap ako sa tabi ng pinto at nakita ko ang aking pinsang si adam na nakatayo sa pintuan ng jeep. Ngumisi naman sya ng nakakaluko, gusto ko sana syang lapitan at batukan ng malakas, like i used when we were kids.

Inilibot ko naman ang paningin ko sa bintana ng jeep at nakita ko si allie na nakatayo sa bangkita waiting.

"oh, shut up," i say to adam, at napa ngiti ako bigla. Bumaba naman ako ng jeep and i join adam and his girlfriend- my bestfriend- allie, who looks so unbelievably please i can't believe it doesn't masakit sa akin para ngumiti ng malawak. Allie's been trying to hook me up with half the guys in a twenty-mile radius. Hindi sya naniniwala na may denedate akong isang lalaki she'd never met before our first date.

"moo," comes a familiar voice behind me. Tumingin naman ako kung nasaan naroroon si drake na naglalakad sa kabilang bangketa.

"moo your face," sabi ko, even though is probably doesn't make sense.

"jealous of my mad skills,DQ?" he ask, his widening.

"alam mo yon," sabi ko.

"cattle calls are just so imposible to master."

"DQ?" tanong ni logan, interlacing his fingers with mine casually.

"Dairy Queen," sagot ni allie.

"technically it's dairy Princess," i mutter, even thouht i know resistance is futtile.

"yeah, hindi ba nasabi sayo ni jane na dairy princess sya last year?" tanong ni adam,

"no, she neglected to tell me that," he says. Ramdam ko ang mga mata nya na nakatingin sa akin, but i resist meeting his gaze.

"jane, i'm dissapointed. This is first date material." Drake says, habang sinusundan nya si adam sa pinto, hanggang nasa loob na kaming lahat ng mountain mikes pizza.

"Sa tingin ko hindi na ako makakatayo," Sabi ko, habang humihinga ng malalim at inaamoy ang masarap na amoy ng tomato, cheese, and garlic. Hindi nalang namin pinansin ang PLEASE WAIT TO BE SEATED sign and plunk down at the last available both near the windows. Drake barrows a spare seat from another table and sits at the end.

Tumabi naman sa akin si drake, not in a spare chair at the end of the table.

"I really don't fell like going to school tomorrow,"adam signs.

"when do you ever?," i ask, sabay sipa sa paa nya sa ilalim ng mesa. He glare and kick me back, like the big brother i never wanted.

"hey, some of us weren't born geniuse," drake says, habang inaabot ang menu, at nag order narin kami nang usualling inoorder namin cheese pepporoni pizza, habang kumakain kami ay biglang nag salita si allie.

"ahh, anyway guys. . we still going to the haunted maze this weekend? Gusto kung mag out of town kami ng pamilya ko sa saturday and sunday, but friday's free"
