DEALING DIAMOND (Mafia Series 5) (Completed✓)

CHAPTER 15

“I AM REALLY, really sorry. I forgot kasi na babalik sya.” -napabusangot ako nang todong-todo sa harap ni Z. “Okay lang naman kung matagalan ka dito. Wag mo na lang pansinin yong sinabi nya. I know you're not going to do something bad naman to me, you're not like that.”

“It's fine, Zaffy.”

“Wag mo na lang syang pansinin, okay?”

“Hey, I told you, it's fine. He's Glenn, alam ko na kung ano ang ugali niya. I've known him for so long, and I know how to handle his temper. Stop saying sorry, it's okay.”

Napatingin ako sa labas ng pinto. Magli-limang minuto na simula nung umalis yong lalaking yon—or maybe nasa car niya. Gusto ko sanang puntahan sya pero na wo-worry ako dahil baka mamaya isipin ni Zeus may something feelings ako for him— which is wala naman.

Why does he have to be here? Sana hindi na lang sya bumalik, nangongonsensya pa.

“You want to talk to him?” -Zeus asked. “Hmm?”

I shook my head. “H-Hindi. I'm just, you know, checking if nakauwi na ba sya.”

“Pwedi mo naman syang tignan. I'll just go to the kitchen, just make sure na hindi ka matatagalan sa labas.” -he gave me his coat at nilagay sa likod kong litaw na litaw. “Sobrang lamig ngayon, I don't want you to catch a cold”

“Okay lang ba talaga?”

“Of course, baby, I don't want you to worry him that much,” -he said, grabbing my hand and pinching it. “You know that I like you, right?”

Napatitig ako sa kanya. I unconsciously nodded.

“Good. Balik ka agad,” -he caressed my face. “You want cookies? I'll bake.”

“Really?”

He chuckled. “Don't be so cute, Zaffy, pinapakilig mo ko.”

IHe always says that he really likes me and that he'll wait until I say yes. Zeus Hauer is very patient when it comes to me, he always make sure na hindi ako na pe-pressure and of course, palagi niyang sinasabi sa'kin na hindi sya nagmamadali, that he respects my time and understands me.

Lahat ng gusto nang isang babae nasa kanya. But apparently, I'm not one of those girls. I have my own definition of ideal man and I don't know why I can't like him back. Sinabi ko naman sa kanya na hindi ko sya gusto but he said that it's okay, na in the future matututunan ko rin syang mahalin, na hindi ko alam kung mangyayari ba. He's nice, like really, really nice, and I swear, if I can punch my heart, matagal ko nang ginawa.

Zeus is almost perfect and I don't understand kung bakit hindi ko sya magustuhan. I mean, dude, that's Hauer. He's good, cool, gentleman, very respectful and lastly, he knows how to respect a woman like me and his family. He's honestly a family oriented guy. How I wish I can like him the way he likes me.

After that conversation, I hurriedly turned my back, I don't want to cause some uncomfortable thing between me and him dahil baka mamaya isipin niyang I don't trust him.

Nang sa wakas ay nakababa ako sa penthouse, agad kong hinanap si Glenn. I kept looking somewhere until I saw him na nakasandal sa mamahalin niyang car. I even saw him smoking na ikinabuga ko nang hangin. Hindi niya ba alam na sikat sya? What if there's a media out there or paparazzi na kunan sya nang pic tapos eh post online? Gosh, pag pe-pyestahan sya for sure.

Naiinis na naglakad ako papunta sa kanya at mabilis na hinablot ang sigarilyo saka itinapon sa isang garbage na malapit lang sa'kin. His face was serious when he looked at me; he had this blank expression na ikinaikot ng mga mata ko.
