Bring It On, Detective

U

"DON'T YOU WANT to be Jayden's psychologist?"

"That would be a dual relationship, Detective. It's against the code of ethics. I can't be his cook and his psychologist at the same time." Elisheva smiled at Jayden and fed him the food she cooked. Wiling-wili naman ang pamangkin niya sa atensyon na ibinigay ni Elisheva.

"Ako rin." He parted his lips and opened his mouth. Elisheva's mouth parted, and she gave him a look of disbelief before shaking her head with a smile plastered on her face.

"You can feed yourself, Detective."

"Jayden can also feed himself! You have been feeding him for two weeks already every time he wants you to feed him!"

"He's a baby!"

"I'm a baby, too!"

"You're not a baby naman, Tito, eh," Jayden butted in and pouted.

Elisheva's chuckle filled the whole kitchen. Within two weeks of her being here, he had already gotten used to her laughter ringing in his ears. At parang 'yon lang, kompleto na araw niya.

Fuck. This woman is really something.

She stretched her arms forward and pinched Jayden's cheeks lightly. "Right, baby? Masyadong feeling ang tito mo!"

Pero hindi nito pinansin si Elisheva. Jayden was playing with the lettuce on the plate instead and focused his attention on it. Later on, he caught sight of his car beside his plate and played with it.

Elisheva kept on feeding him, and as she did, Jayden kept on twisting and turning in his seat.

"Did you tell your brother already about Jayden's condition?"

He nodded. "Yep. And they told me that they would bring him to a psychologist as soon as they got here."

"Good. And can I continue being your partner even if I am no longer Jayden's cook?"

Kumunot ang kanyang noo sa narinig. Is she worried that he might make her leave?

Nah. He can never do that.

"No one's telling you to leave, Elisheva. Mas maganda nga kung nandito ka."

Umarko ang kaliwang kilay nito at tiningnan siya. "Para may malalandi ka araw-araw, gano'n?"

Natawa siya nang malakas. Yep, that could be one of the reasons, but of course he won't tell her that!

"Para may katulong ako sa paglulutas ng kaso. Masyado kang feeling, Miss," balik niya sa sinabi nito kanina at ngumisi.

The woman stared at him with disbelief and later let out a chuckle. Her shoulders shook, and her smile was so wide, causing the dimple to appear.

Damn, pretty. Ang sarap kurutin.

"Sige. Kunyari naniwala ako." With a smile on her face, she rolled her eyes at him.

He pursed his lips. Damn, he really finds her cute every time she does that.

"'Yang mga matang 'yan parati na lang ako iniikutan."

"Ayaw mo bang patirikin?" taas-kilay na baling nito sa kanya.

He stared at her, his mouth hanging open, and not expecting that witty rebuttal. Damn that smart mouth.

Elisheva's naughty remarks will always make his mind go chaotic, like a trigger that would make a bomb explode. Her on his bed, in that red underwear, caressing her boobs while looking seductively at him.

Fuck. Kailan kaya 'yan mangyayari?

"Oh, Detective. Utak mo naglalaro na naman."

He blinked upon feeling something hard hit his forehead, bringing him back to reality. And there, Elisheva is in front of him, biting her lower lip to suppress a smile while slowly putting her hand down.
