Finding My Safe Space

Chapter 8

"I always hate seeing your tears."

What?

Tinulak ko siya ng malakas mula sa pagkakayakap niya. He's so makapal para hawakan ako!

"Eww! Hands off!" nandidiri kong sabi bago ko siya sinamaan ng tingin. Nagkatitigan kami ng ilang segundo at pagkatapos naman no'n ay humagalpak siya sa tawa.

"Shuta! Diring-diri, wala akong virus oy! Grabe ka talaga, pagkatapos akong pagbintangan at itaboy, ngayon pinandidirihan naman. Come on." reklamo niya habang tumatawa pa rin.

Damn him, I am already so down tapos nandito pa siya. What else? Ano pa bang mas ikakasira ng gabi ko?

"Can't you just go away? I'm not in the mood to exchange arguments with you." I  tiredly said. I turned my back and was about to go inside the spot I reserved when he suddenly pulled my hand.

"Hey! Let go of my hand! Kadiri!" pagpupumiglas ko but he didn't even listen or budge.

"What the hell? Are you deaf now? Hey! Where are we—." my mouth went 'o' when he suddenly lifted and carried me like a freaking bride.

"Pili ka. Tahimik o laglag?" he asked while smirking.

"You can't drop me—." Napasigaw ako no'ng muntik na nga akong mahulog dahil sa kagagawan niya.

"WHAT THE HELL? I WOULD REALLY FUCKING KILL YOU!" I shouted while he's carrying me downstairs.

"Kill me later then." he winked.

I groaned in frustration. "Damn! And where the hell are you taking me?" I looked around and saw that we're already at the parking lot.

He opened his car and gently placed me inside. I immediately glared at him after that, I want to strangle him but God knows I can't do that because I don't want to lose my poise. Instead, I fixed myself and sat there elegantly while frying him with my stare.

"Oh? I thought you're going to kill me?" he playfully asked. "Eto na oh," he smirked.

I fucking swear, I might really become a murderer.

"Just fucking wait for it." I said and gritted my teeth.

He raised his eyebrow tsaka pumasok na sa driver's seat. "Seatbelt, Ma'am." I rolled my eyes saka tumingin nalang sa bintana to prevent myself from doing something bad to him.

I slept during the ride, pamilyar na ang daan sa akin pagkagising ko, I know where it is and he would really take me there?

Tama nga ako ng hula because few minutes later the car stopped on that spot. The spot I learned to love for the past years.

"Why are we here?" I asked while raising my brow.

"Pahangin?" He chuckled before getting out of the car, sumunod naman ako.

"If you're planning something, sige ituloy mo, I already texted my bodyguard that you kidnapped me and if something bad happen to me, you're the only one to blame." I said before taking steps away from him. Napahawak ako sa arms ko dahil naramdaman ko ang lamig. Argh, why the hell I took off my coat? It's cold here, but it feels good actually.

I looked at the city lights and sighed. Earlier today I thought that everything's gonna be okay, and things would go like the way I planned them. But no, it didn't happen that way. For the first time, my parents failed to celebrate a special holiday with me. I know it's shallow but I'm really sad. And now I am wondering, is something big happening in our company? I mean, they wouldn't get that invested with that problem if it's just minor.

But still, I am hoping that everything is okay.

My thoughts stopped from flowing when something touch my bare shoulders. What the?
