Captured Heart (Sunki CDL 01)

09.

"Sino tinitignan mo?" Jacob asked before looking at where I'm looking. I still can't believe he rolled his eyes at me?

"Inirapan niya ako.." I said.

"Inirapan? Tinarayan? Nino?" He asked, confused. "Ni Achilles." Sagot ko nalang habang nakatingin nang masama sa likod niya. I saw Eli looked at me with forehead creased before smiling at me. I also saw Cyrus' smiled at me teasingly habang si Tyron, umiiling. Okay?

"Gusto mo umupo?" Tanong ni Jacob. Gusto ko sana siya tanungin kung obvious ba kasi kanina pa kami palakad-lakad but I didn't because it will only makes me sound mataray. Not that I'm claiming na I am not, but sometimes I have to resist kasi aware naman akong masama ugali ko.

Umupo kami sa pinakamalapit na table mula sa magpipinsan. Two steps away from us, I could finally tell na they're staring at us. When I said "they're" yung magpipinsan yun. Could they at least don't make it obvious na nakatitig sila?? Kahit na sa malayo, nararamdaman ko 'yong mga daggers na titig ni Achilles sa'kin. I looked at him before raising my eyebrows, low-key telling him na hindi ko siya uurungan. Where did he get the guts to roll his eyes at me, huh?

When I looked at him, I was right. He's already looking at me while his cousins are talking to him. Just like when I saw him kanina, nakakunot yung noo niya. He tilted his head to the side kaya ginaya ko. What is he up to? Pinangliitan niya pa ako ng mga mata niya na parang naiinis siya or something.

"Seriously? Kailangan ko na ba magdala ng kutsilyo palagi para sa inyong dalawa?" I heard Jacob said. I knew he was joking pero, I kinda like the idea. Para kasing anytime gusto akong saksakin nitong isang 'to eh. As if naman aatras ako, if ever? No way. Papatulan ko siya.

"Pwede naman." I said that made him laugh. Akala niya siguro nagbibiro ako. I was about to say something when Drake came to us with a bottle of gin in his hand.

"Hi." He greeted me. I smiled to greet him back. Umupo siya sa tabi ko habang tinitignan kami isa-isa ni Jacob.

"Awatin mo na sila kuya Kaloy, Drake. Mamaya magma-maoy na naman yan sila." Jacob said.

"Ako bahala sa kanila, hindi 'yan magma-maoy." I could really tell that Drake's not at his usual self because I know that he's already drunk. Hindi lang ako ang nakapansin non, maski si Jacob napansin din.

"Lasing ka na, Drake." Jake told him but it seems like he doesn't even paying attention to what he's saying because he's just staring at me!! Uhm, could you please stop? Baka sa'yo ko mabaling irita ko kahit na I already see you as a friend because of what happened earlier sa Casa.

I cleared my throat but after that I already felt his head on my shoulders, he passed out. I saw how Jake's eyes widened because of what happened. Me? There, not being able to move because I don't even know what to fucking do! I swear, Drake. You won't forget about this, ipapaalala ko sa'yo bukas lahat you peace of shi—

"Take him home." I heard someone said at my back. Gusto ko sana lumingon at sampalin siya kasi inirapan niya ako kanina but I chose not to do it because we're in front of so many people, I don't want to make a scene as much as I wanted to smack his face out of his butt. I don't know kung sino inuutusan niya pero alam ko na para yun sa paghatid kay Drake sa kanila. I even felt my shoulders getting lighter kasi inangat niya na pala yung ulo ni Drake sa balikat ko, I'm still not moving a muscle.

Few seconds later, I already saw two guys walking to my direction. I assume they're Drake's brothers because I saw the resemblance. It's like Drake but bulky.

"Sorry po, Sir." Said the guy before lifting Drake to their shoulder like he was a feather, wow.

"Kanina ka pa ba nandiyan?" Natauhan lang ako nang magsalita sa Jacob, napalingon na rin ako sa kanya bago tumayo. I saw his eyes staring at me with so much irritation. Like it's a new thing to me? Mas irita ako sa'yo. We we're just there, staring daggers at each other for about a minute before he sighed and looked at Jacob who's just looking at us with so much horror on his face. Afraid that we'll make a scene. I'm not that brat para gumawa ng eksena rito, I know how important this event is for Jacob's family.

"I'm leaving." He said before looking at me again. Hindi niya na hinintay yung reply ni Jacob because he's already walking away.

"Already?" Hindi na narinig yun ni Achilles kasi umalis na lang siya bigla, what a trashy attitude. Sobrang bastos. I looked at Jacob when he sighed, napaupo na rin ako kasi wala naman na yung taong nagpapakulo ng dugo ko.

"He's at it again." Jacob said. My forehead formed a creased due to confusion. "Palagi siyang ganyan." He added. I looked at where Achilles is but I don't see him anymore, bilis naman non maglakad.

"What do you mean? Palagi ba talaga siyang nakakairita?" I asked that made him laugh.

"You both really don't like each other's presence, do you?"

"He started it." I said, rolling my eyes.

"Palagi siya nagw-walk-out kapag may ayaw siyang nangyayari, hays." Kumunot naman noo ko, so that means kaya siya umalis kasi ayaw niyang nandito ako?

He's really getting into my nerves, why didn't he leave sooner, then? As if I'm loving it when he's around? No way! I was about to say it out loud but I know it's his friend so I just shut my mouth, after all.. I don't want to hurt Jacob's feelings just because I don't like his friend's presence. I considered Jacob as a friend already, I can't hurt him that way.

I just shrugged it off and just took the glass of water in front of me to calm myself and to keep my mouth shut.

I jumped a little when I heard my phone beeped, telling me that I have a notification. I choked when I realized who it is.

Unknown Number:

I'll wait for you outside your house. I need to tell you something about your work tomorrow, be quick.

What the frick!? How did he know my number?! And what?! Outside our house!? Punyeta.
