NEIL'S POV
I seriously look at her as she chew her food. Kung ngumuya siya, parang bato ang ipinapakain ko sa kanya.
"Hey..." mahinahong tawag ko sa kanya. Hinaplos ko ang pisngi niya. "Baby, look at me" I pleaded.
Ilang saglit pa bago siya tumingin sa akin.
"What's bothering you, baby?" mahinahong tanong ko sa kanya
Umiling lamang siya.
She's giving me a cold shoulder.
"I'm sorry about last time, baby" malambing na sabi ko na tinanguan niya lamang. "I'm sorry about the issue"
She's not saying anything. And I want to destroy every fucking thing on my sight for the frustrations I am feeling!
I drew a deep breath to calm myself. My rage would not be of any help.
I just resume eating my meal. We ate with the awkward silence.
After the longest dinner of my life, I let the servants to clean the mess.
I closed the whole place for the two of us. And I really hope that it will not appear on the newspaper the next morning. I'll be damned
It's been a week but the issue is still hot. And the longer it trends, the worse the conflict with my brother it creates. Two days ago, halos magsuntukan na kami ni Kuya.
And my brothers forced me to work on their company. And I don't have a fucking choice but to obey so that they won't say anything against my girl.
My mother will have a heart attack kapag nagpatayan kami ni Kuya dahil ayaw niyang itikom ang bibig niya at kung anu-anong masasamang bagay pa ang sinabi niya kay Cleo.
"Baby" tawag kong muli kay Cleo.
Nakaka-tangina na nagmumukha na akong tanga dito kakasalita at siya ay puro tango o iling lamang. I keep my shits together so that I won't ruin the night. Pahirapan na madala siya dito.
Napilitan akong lumabas sa public para lamang masama siya tonight for this dinner. Tiniis ko ang magulong media na maya't maya kuha ng kuha ng pictures ko. Nagbitbit pa ako ng bodyguards ni Daddy para hindi nila ako magulo. At alam na alam ko ang consequences ng mga ginawa ko.
Bukas, haharapin ko na naman ang galit ni Kuya. Pero wala akong pakielam. Kaya sana naman, umayos si Cleo habang nakakapagtimpi pa ako. Sana kibuin na niya ako bago pa maputol ang huling pisi ng pasensya ko.
She should at least make this night worthy for the consequences I'll face the next day.
