Her Captive

Captivated 2

They say opposite attracts, I guess that's true. He's gentle, kind and innocent, while I'm rough around the edges, brutal at times.

The contrasts between us are stark, but somehow, that just makes me want to have him more.

I watch as my car goes on its highest speed like it was on a mission, its tires screeching as they burn into the pavement. I stare at the college students leaving the university.

My lips began to curl up into a smile. But then my smile started to fade when I saw a girl with him. Ugrh! Not again!

I flexed my hand and my grip on my phone tightened. I stared at them with deadly eyes even if they couldn't see me. Inakbayan pa ng babae si baby Theon ko! That's it.

I want to kill her already. I want to kill her so bad. Pero kapag ginawa ko 'yon, alam kong mas sasama ang tingin sa 'kin ni Theon ko.

My breathing became ragged as I stared at her with disdain, my lips turning into a sneer.

I was about to open the door when Orly stopped me. "Wait lang kasi—" Hindi niya napatapos ang sinasabi niya nang may biglang kumatok sa bintana.

Ha! The bitch is knocking on my car's window. I need to carwash my car again!

Medyo nahirapan siyang buksan ang bintana dahil ang kamay niya ay nasa backseat nakahinto sa 'kin para hindi buksan ang pintuan. If only he wasn't my cousin, I would've killed him years ago.

He chuckled a bit. He opened the window beside him kaya hindi ako masyadong makita. Dagdag pa ang pagharang niya sa 'kin sa butas sa gilid ng upuan.

I rolled my eyes.

3 days pa lang nang makabalik ako dito sa bansang 'to, pero grabe na ang inis na nararamdaman ko. Alam ko namang wala akong karapatan pero...

Ewan ko rin!

Nakita ko ang mukha ni Theon at syempre nakita ko rin ang nakakairitang mukha ng babae.

"Sir, bawal po mag-park dito," sabi ng babae na ikinairita ko naman. Ulit. Kahit naiinis ako sa kanya, hindi ko maiwasan i-admire ang kagandahan niya.

She has long straight brown hair with calm and gentle presence. Dumagdag pa ang soft features niya at napaka-soft na boses, nagmukha tuloy siyang anghel.

Then I subtly glanced at my baby Theon out of the corner of my eye, watching his eyes travel inside my car. Nakatikom ang kanyang mapupulang labi habang seryoso na ngayong nakatingin kay Orly.

"Sir, bawal po talaga dito mag-park," mahinang sabi ni baby Theon ko na ikinangunot naman ng noo ni Orly. Tsk.

Just follow him, Orly, damn it.

"Excuse me? Sino ka ba para pagsabihan ako nang ganyan?" Alam kong ginagawa lang 'to ni Orly kasi gustong-gusto niya akong inisin!

'Tangina mo talaga, Orly.

"Sir," Pagbabanta na sabi ni Theon ko.

"I'm Theon Keitro Faolan, 21-year-old IT student, pwede naman d'on kayo mag-park sa loob ng university. Parking here is against the university's regulation," Magalang niyang sabi na ikinangiti ko naman. His parents really raised him well. I'm glad they did.

"Sandali lang," sabi naman ni Orly at sinara ang bintana ng kotse.

"You should always. Always. Follow his order. You got it?" Napatawa naman siya na para bang tine-testing niya ang patience ko.
