The Cutest Mafia Boss

*MARTIN TYLER

"Ano na nga ang name mo?" My forehead creased.

"Are you deaf or just plain stupid?" Hindi ba't pinakilala na ako sa kanya ni Dad kanina.

I was driving all the way to the company, with her sitting on the other side of the car.

"Nakalimutan ko, e. Kung ayaw mo, Namo na lang itatawag ko sa 'yo." And there she goes again with her pout.

"What the hell is Namo? Are you cursing at me, woman?" Minumura na yata ako nito, e.

"Na-Mo. Naked Monster."

"Psh. Martin. Martin Tyler is my name and not that Namo."

"Martin Tyler," she repeated it and took something from her pink hello kitty backpack.

And guess what? It was a purple notebook with Barney, printed on it.

Aish! This gay dinosaur.

"How old are you?"

"23," I plainly said and stared at the busy street.

"23 minus 19. You're four years older than me."

"So?"

"Should I call you Kuya then?"

"Psh. I am your husband-to-be, woman. And not your freaking brother."

"Oo nga no, Martin Oni-chan." I accidentally stepped on the brake.

"Ouch! Why did you stop the car, Oni-chan?!"

Nilingon ko siya at nakitang hinahaplos niya ang tumama niyang ilong.

"I said don't call me that." Bwisit na bubwit 'to.

"Ang sakit kaya sa ilong! I hate you, Oni-chan."

"Sinabi nang h'wag mo 'kong tawagin na ganyan, e!"

"Okay... Oni-chan."

"I said stop it! I will be your husband, you faggot! Call me babe, honey, sweetheart or anything just f*cking stop calling me Oni-chan!" I shouted.

"Ah-Ah... I-i'm sorry..." Marahas akong humarap sa kanya at napansin ko ang pagkagulat sa mukha niya.

You freaking idiot! Why did you shout on a girl?

Bigla tuloy akong nahiya dahil sa ginawa kong pagsigaw sa kanya.

"I... Ah... I'm sorry, Yvonne. I didn't mean to shout. It's j-just that..."

"It's okay. I-i understand. I won't call you Oni-chan anymore."

"Oh. Okay." Marahan akong tumingin sa daan at pinaandar na ulit ang sasakyan.

"So..." she started talking again.

"What's your favorite color, babe honey sweetheart?" Agad namang umarko ang kilay ko dahil sa sinabi niya.

Arghh! Freaking childish!

"Nandito na ba tayo, babe honey sweetheart?" I asked as I walk out of the car.

"Aish! Stop calling me names!"

"But you told me, I should call you that."
Gusto niya ba na or anything ang itawag ko sa kanya?

"Choose one and stick with it."

"E, hindi ako makapili." I pouted.

"Itigil mo nga 'yang kakapout mo. Hindi ka cute."

"But mama said I am cute. And mothers don't lie to their children."
