The Beast in the City

Kabanata 14

I barely notice how fast the days change. Everything seems like a fucking dream. Parang kailan lang, gustong gusto ko na siyang dispatyahin, but in just one kiss, everything has changed. Yung simpleng paghalik ko na 'yon sa kanya noong kinasal kami, 'yon ang bumabangungot sa akin. I didn't know how I came to like this girl. She's not my type, and she's too young and innocent for me, but my damn actions tell otherwise.

Just what the fuck? I'm totally fucked up.

"Ken-Ken." Inalok niya sa akin ang kinakain niyang malaking lollipop.

We were in the living area, watching damn cartoons. Well, siya lang 'yon. because I was watching her the whole time instead. It amazes me. It fascinates me. It makes me feel at ease. Even with her simple presence, I'm relieved and glad.

"Ken-Ken! Hmm?" Nilapit niya ulit ang lollipop sa bibig ko.

I put her hand down instead and kissed her. I felt her stiffen for a while before she pushed me slowly and pouted. I chuckled when she wiped her lips with her hand and continued eating. I rested my palm on her lap and caught myself smiling like an idiot.

Just damn!

For me, women are nothing compared to guns and gang wars. They are like toys that I want to use when my flesh calls for it. to satisfy my needs as a man. I only use them once, and when I get bored, I'll just dump them off like garbage.
 
But things were not the same for Gianina. She's the kind of girl that I'd love to watch every single day. She's a perfect scenario. a daily dose of happiness. A star that shines the brightest in the darkest of the world. She's rare and extraordinary. Maybe that's why I liked her. She's very different. She's like a miraculous angel that could turn evil into angels like her with just a simple touch.

"Ken-Ken!"

Napatingin ako sa bumukas na pintuan ng silid ko nang makita siyang pumasok. I was reading a book when she entered in pajamas, hugging her favorite teddy bear. Kumulog ng malakas kaya tumili siya at tumakbo palundag sa kama ko. The rain is pouring hard in the middle of the night.

I sighed and continued reading under the light of the lamp beside me. Nagkumot siya at sumiksik ng sumiksik sa akin nang sunod sunod na kumulog at kumidlat ng malakas. I closed my book and put it boredly on the table. I made my arms my pillow and watched her curl up to me. Kumidlat uli nang malakas kaya napaibabaw na siya sa akin. I groaned and my eyes shut tightly when I felt my erection suddenly get hardened.

Shit!

Naalis ko siya bigla sa ibabaw ko at naglagay ng distansya sa pagitan namin. She was shocked. Tears immediately pooled in her eyes as we looked at each other. Ang akala niya siguro ayaw ko siyang i-comfort.

"Damn!"

Napapikit na lang ako at niyakap siya para hindi na siya matakot kahit na kamatayan 'yon para sa akin.

I tried my best not to touch her. Even if my body craves it. I know I'm an asshole, but when it comes to her, I can break all my damn rules.

Just what the hell?

"What are you all doing here?" I asked seriously when I saw all of my soldiers in the living area.

"Binibisita lang si Spyder, boss," sagot ni Pop eye.

"Is this is his house?" I asked darkly and glared at Spyder who has a cast in his left shoulder.

"My second house, Mi lord." He smirked and looked at the woman behind me. "Hi Gianina." Kumaway siya rito.

"Don't call her that. She has a codename," mariing sabi ko.

He has no fucking right to call her in her real name! Ako lang dapat. Ako lang.
