Mr. Left (Mr. Series #2)

Chapter 17

"Don't do this again in front of my wife," he said. "Call me if you really want to start a fight."

Hold on.

Was I just addressed as his wife?

"Wait, sigurado ka bang pakakasalan mo ang anak ng mortal niyong kalaban sa business? That is not how I know you," sambit ng isa.

"Oo nga, Jhon Rey! You're an asshole, and we know how you breathe."

"Nagbago ka na ba talaga?"

Jhon Rey was just staring at them, not even saying anything. Was he really suppressing himself because I was here? I know he can fight. 

Napansin kong natitinag ang mga lalaki sa titig ni Jhon Rey at nagsisimula ang mga itong umatras.

"Fine! Fine! Be sure to come when we call you, or else..." That guy looked at me. "Miss Velasco, do not worry. We'll just catch up. We really missed this guy," wika niya sa akin na akala niya naman ay maloloko niya ako. He even head-locked Jhon Rey, but Jhon Rey really looked pissed off at them.

That guy touched me, raised my chin, and winked at me before he turned his back on us. His minions followed him.

It was as if a thorn had been removed from me. I never expected to see someone who would approach us to ruin our days. They looked like one of Jhon Rey's former classmates. Napakagagaling talaga. Pumunta lang para mang-bully! Para silang sina Dhonna at Klarissa!

I sighed and then turned to face Jhon Rey. He glanced in my direction, and I noticed how he stared at me. I gulped at the sudden intimidation I felt.

"What are you looking at? tanong ko.

He didn't say anything and started to walk. He was walking slowly; it seemed like he was waiting for me to follow him. Hindi ganitong paglakad ang ginawa niya noong unang beses kaming mag-date. Nakakapanibagong hinihintay niya ako.

I did nothing more than follow him to his car. Finally, we can go back home. We simply strolled around for a while, but I feel exhausted because of those dimwits. Why did those idiots come to annoy us? Pupunta sana kami sa sinehan at manonood ng movie, pero hindi na namin nagawa dahil pareho kaming nawala sa mood ni Jhon Rey. Sabagay, anong oras na rin kasi at ngayon ko lang napansin na madilim na. Kailangan na nga naming umuwi. 

I fasten my seatbelt, expecting Jhon Rey to grab the wheel and steer the car. I turned to face him, and saw him staring at me like a ghost. I almost jumped.

"Hey, why do you keep looking at me like that?" I inquired. "I've noticed that you've been gazing at me for a while. What's with you now?"

Umiling siya. Narinig ko pa siyang bumuntong-hininga nang iiwas niya ang tingin sa akin. I began to be curious and looked at him closely.

"You're being weird. What are you thinking?" I touched his shoulder and tried to get him to look at me. I saw him give me a side-eye.

"Are you okay?" My eyebrows knotted while I forced him to face me. I'm now curious about what he was trying to hide. I don't know. He seems to be hiding something. "What's your problem? Is it about those guys? Are you ashamed of what happened?" I asked one after another.

He glanced at me for a minute or two. He removed my hand on his shoulder and held it for a while. I was lost for a moment when I realized he was holding me tightly.

"B-bakit?" I stuttered. He's causing me huge tension. I saw him glance at my lips.

"Be ready at all times, because I won't ask for permission again."

Nagtaka ako sa sinabi niya. "P-permission for what?"

He cut me off by kissing me. The intensity of his kiss made me lose my balance. I hold him on his chest while trying to push him away.
