Cold Blood

☠ Museum 18+

F.A

I lied to her.

I lied to Suzzane Alverez.

The reason why I'm acting like a jerk is because I'm questioning my capability right now, especially my judgment. Unusual things have been happening one after the other.

Assumptions and gut feeling has been invading my thoughts.

Killing Rita Fernandez seem to be my least problem right now because I'm more distracted with Suzzane herself.

"I'm going in" binaling ko ang aking atensyon kay Suzzane na papalabas na sana mula sa rental car namin.

Despite knowing her skills, I pulled her back on her seat as I meet her gaze through the rear view mirror.

"Surveying the museum is your priority for now" we just finished taking down two enemies last night and we don't know if the big fish we're really after is now aware of that.

If they are, sigurado akong mas mahigpit ang magiging galaw ni Rita Fernandez. At marahil kami rin ay babagal ang kilos dahil kailangan naming magingat.

"Yes sir" she said jokingly "Verify if Rita Fernandez is actually with Karol Sousa inside"

"Good. I'll be right here"

I watch her figure enter the questionable museum, I'm silently hoping that Rita Fernandez isn't actually inside because I don't want my partner in crime to get in trouble without me.

Shits can happen anytime and anywhere, and if something happens to her, I know I won't be able to forgive myself.

☠ ☠ ☠

S.A

I enter the museum without taking off my sunglasses.

There are few people walking around looking at the things displayed inside that are enclosed within a glass box as a form of protection.

I can feel myself blushing every time I come face to face with items that came straight out of both male and female's fantasy.

"Excuse me, Ma'am. May I give you a tour?" sinulyapan ko ang babaeng lumapit sa akin at bahagya akong dumistansya.

You'll never know if someone is daring enough to kill you for any reason.

Di bale nang magmukhang praning.

"Ah, yes. Thank you" she starts giving me a tour around the museum.

Thanks to my shades, the amount of shock I'm receiving isn't that visible because my bulging eyes are currently covered.

Geez, people are kinky, but it's fascinating. I can now agree that sex is also an art.

"Oh here," the girl with me said excitedly.

Her dark brown hair is illuminated with the low and classy lights of the place, and her grey eyes are slightly twinkling.

Her vibe is actually comforting, weird.

"Those are nipple clamps"

"A what?" my eyes landed on the 'nipple clamps', on my perspective, they look like hair pins with different designs.

"Nipple clamps, they are use to stimulate pain and pleasure in your..." she muttered with a smile while subtly eyeing my boobies. Kaya naman hindi ko maiwasang mapahawak sa dibdib ko at huminga ng malalim.

"What about those?" I pointed at the displays that look like rain drop figurines with flat stands in order for it to stay in place.

"Those are butt plugs"

"Huh?"

"They come in different sizes and, as it comes with its name, people insert it in their buttocks"

I can feel myself slightly sweating with the information.

Napansin kong nakatingin sa akin itong kasama ko. A genuine smile was etched on her face but she immediately masked it with a professional one.

"Have you read Fifty Shades trilogy, Ma'am?" tanong niya nang nakatungtong kami sa display ng tatlong libro, "A trilogy written by E.L James, embraced by people around the world, although slightly criticized by the BDSM community, it still allowed everyone to know that such form of lifestyle and art exists"

"Yes, I did"

"Christian Grey's character development is quite indulging, don't you think?"

"Why?"

"He managed to break the walls he built for the sake of his woman and of course, for himself" why do I feel like she's telling me this not as part of the tour, but because she can relate to it?

"I appreciate the part where Anastasia accepted Christian despite of his flaws and complexity, his secrets and issues" and this is something I'm yearning, to be accepted when the time comes and my secrets are exposed.

She gave me a sympathetic look but as usual, she immediately went back to her friendly yet professional look.

Her agile ability to change her expression is so similar with someone I know. Hah, I think that if this girl isn't working in this museum and if she's aware of spy agencies, I'm sure she'll be one hell of an agent.

"Another one would be on how Anastasia and Christian dealt with his past.." she sighs "It's amazing how they used the past to move forward instead of treating it as something to hold them back"

Before I could even agree with this woman, a group of museum visitors came into view together with a tall and familiar man, Karol Sousa.

The visitors look happy and I can hear them thanking Karol for the tour in different languages. I decided to keep my eyes on him until his gaze landed on my direction, his facial expression changed and he bids farewell to the visitors.

"I'll handle this from here, thank you" he said sweetly to the girl who's been touring me around. She smiled and backed away.

"Thank you" I mouthed her.

She waves at me with the sweetest and angelic smile, "You're welcome, and thank you too"

Why is she thanking me?

I remove my shades, Karol Sousa is towering over my not-so-short frame.

Damn. Up to this day, I'm still wondering how the hell did I manage to survive multiple one-on-one combats with this person during my jiu-jitsu training under him.

My power to live must be so intense that I pushed myself beyond the limits.

"For some reason.." Karol started with a heavy sigh "I can't say that it's good seeing you here, kid"

Well ouch, although I think that it's not actually good meeting him for the sake of my own agenda.

"Let's just pretend that I'm here checking up on you, old man"
