Kiss Me, Cole (Part 1) [IN EDITING ]

Cole (32)

I will make this simple.

====================

"So," Theo said quietly before grabbing one of the chairs next to mine and sinking into it. He took the bowl of pad thai that I hadn't even touched yet and speared it with a fork. "How's the bastard holding up?"

Brandon Garcia is the bastard he is referring to. The same bastard I've been watching for almost an hour now. He is slumped on the chair he has been bound to, his head lolling back. Above his head, a single pendant light hung in the air. It bathes him in its glow that I could see his every movement from inside this glass room.

The Sais kidnapped him off the side of the road on his way to his family's residence. And he hasn't woken up since then. Na kinaiinis ko. I want the scumbag awake and aware for the type of hell I'm planning for him.

"He's a fucking Aurora," reklamo ko. "What the heck did they to do him?"

Theo chuckled as he continued to eat.

"Wala. Hinimatay na lang daw 'yan bigla na wala pa silang ginagawa. Ni hindi pa nga raw nila 'yan namura. Dukot, himatay. Akala ko pa naman ang tibay ng bituka niyan sa klase nang mga pinagkakainteresan niyang gawin sa buhay."

Theo is laughing but his tone has an undeniable bite to it. The reminder of what dirty things this bastard is dreaming of doing had me glaring at his sleeping form once more.

My jaw clenches in disgust and glanced at Theo. "I want him awake, Brigadier."

Inarkuhan niya ako ng kilay. "Kumakain pa ako, o."

I glared at him as he continued eating my food. "Does that take precedence over my orders?"

He gave me a sidelong glance then shrugged. "You want me to play with him for a long time, don't you? I need the energy."

"For fuck's sake, he's an Aurora!" angil ko. Aurora is a fainter.

"How difficult would it be to destroy him?" dagdag ko. "And it's not as if you're going to do everything by yourself. I intend to participate as well."

Inignora niya lang ako at nagpatuloy sa pagkain hanggang sa naubos na nga niya ang laman ng mangkok na hawak. Isinunod naman niyang kainin ang kanya. Ikinainis ko iyon. Ang sarap sapakin. Mayroon naman pala siya, bakit inuna ang akin?

Nang maubos niya rin ang sariling pad thai, ipinatong niya ulit ang wala nang lamang mangkok sa ibabaw noong nauna at inabot ang lata ng Mt. Dew na pinakamalapit sa kanya. Inilayo ko ang isa at baka pati ito ubusin niya rin. 

He he watched me pour my own soda into a glass full of ice. He downed his own  straight from the can as he threw me a mocking look. I showed him the finger in retaliation.

Natatawa niyang tinipon ang mga pinagkainan, pati na rin ang lata ng Mt. Dew ko na wala nang laman, at itinapon iyon sa pinakamalapit na basurahan. Bumalik rin siya sa tabi ko at sinamahan akong panoorin ang mahimbing na pagtulog ng hijo de puta na si Brandon Garcia.

I originally wanted to bury the jerk alive in one of the bratva's underground crypts below The House. Ililibing ko siya roon maliban sa ulo niya. Bibisitahin ko siya araw-araw at pahahalikan ang pisngi sa langgam na pula. I'll watch him cry over the itch he couldn't scratch. Then, I'll put calamine ointment over the bites and repeat the process the next day and the next.
