I Would Rather Live Alone

CHAPTER 4

Text me

I opened my eyes and tried to get up. The last thing I remembered is Tobias hugging me and I passed out after that. I heard a murmuring. Bumangon ako ngunit naramdaman ko lang ang lalong pagsakit ng ulo ko. As far as I know it was Devone who is talking.

"Look! You should go! Leave my friend alone!!!"

I have no idea who is she talking to, but whoever the hell that is; anong nagawa niya para magalit ng ganito ang kaibigan ko. I groaned when I felt a pang of pain on my neck. Agad na napalingon si Devone sa akin. She ran to me and held my hand.

"Hey, thank God you're awake! How are you? You okay? You want something to eat?" sunod sunod na tanong ni Rain.

Napahawak lang ako sa ulo ko. I got shocked ng dumako ang mata ko sa dulo ng kama. What is he still doing here?

"No, I am fine. I just need some water. Can you get me some?" I told Devone. Agad naman siyang tumango at lumapit sa lamesa at nagsalin ng baso sa tubig.

Devone handed me the glass of water. I drank it. Nang dumako ang mga mata ko kay Tobias ay nakatitig lamang siya sa akin. The hell this guy wants.

"Why are you still here? Aren't your job done here?" I asked him ngunit nanatili lamang siyang nakatayo.

"I'll just go outside and inform the doctor that you're awake," Devone informed. He glared at Tobias before going out of the room.

I was looking intently in his dark green eyes. It is full of anger. Hindi ko alam kung bakit siya galit? Or baka nagkakamali lang ako ng iniisip. Kasi ano naman ang ikakagalit niya? We are completely strangers who happened to have sex.

"How do you feel? Are you alright?" Anger was evident to his face but the tone if voice is different. He sounds like a caring boyfriend.

"Didn't you heard what I have said? I am fine. Pwede ka nang umalis. I really don't know why you are still here?" I said plainly.

I saw his jaw moved. He put both of his hands on his pocket. He's wearing a blue dress shirt and a slacks. Nakatupi hanggang siko ang manggas nito. He looked away and licked his lips.  Damn those lips.

"I will have to get your statement. That's why." he told me coldly.

Napairap nalang ako. Seriously siya ba dapat ang gumawa noon?  What should I tell him? That I am with the guy who has gun and I am about to have sex with the man who who put a gun in my head?

"I will not speak anything. I will let my lawyer speak for me. So with all due respect, please leave-"

Hindi ko pa natatapos ang sasabihin ko when he cut me off with a curse. He muttered curses consecutively.

"Fuck! Why are with that guy? Aren't you thinking?"

My eyes widened. Anong karapatan niya para kuwestyunin ako? At teka bakit ba siya galit na galit. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ba ako nagdadalawang isip sabihin sa kaniya ang totoo. As if na ikakabawas ng pagkatao ko kung malaman niya na balak ko makipagsex. Half of me was pissed of him.

"Did you have any idea that that guys is a member of a drug syndicate?!" galit niyang saad. Parang confuse na confuse siya kung paano niya ako sesermonan.

I tried to look away from his stare. Hindi ko kakayanin pang makipagtitigan sa matatalim niyang titig. I tried to find a word. I am pissed right now sa hindi malamang dahilan.

"Of course I don't have any idea who he was!!! Sa tingin mo tanga ako para sumama sa kaniya kung alam kong sindikato pala 'yong gagong 'yon?!!!" sigaw ko sa sobrang inis. Medyo naramdaman kong nanakit ang pasa sa leeg ko. Ngunit mas nangingibabaw ang galit ko ngayon.
