Chained Series #01; Mark Anthony Blackhood

Chapter 02

Maaga akong nagising hindi dahil sa tunog ng aking alarm clock, ngunit dahil sa isang boses na pumupukaw sa'kin mula sa tabi.

"Hoy panget gising ka na, mataas na yung sikat ng araw sa labas tulog kapa rin? Mahuhuli ka sa klase mo dahil d'yan."

Kahit antok pa ako ay pinilit ko pa ring bumangon dahil ayaw ko rin namang mahuli sa klase, one of the few things I hate is getting late at mapapagalitan ako ng professor namin. Pinilit kong imulat ang aking mga mata ngunit nagulat ako ng wala naman akong makitang araw sa labas, kahit nga sinag nito mula sa bintana ay wala. Inilibot ko ang aking mga mata at nahanap ko ang alarm clock sa bedside table ko kaya dalidali ko iyong kinuha at tiningnan ang oras, I was shocked when I saw what time it is.

'4:15 a.m. in the morning?! Ba't ang aga-aga nya ako ginising?! 8 a.m. panaman yung class ko ah, baliw ba ang lalaking to? Ano bang trip nya?!'

Tiningnan ko nang masama si Mark na nakangisi sa'king tabi, I was so irritated dahil sa ginawa nya.

"Alam mo ba kung anong oras pa 'to?! Ano bang trip mo hu?", galit kong sabi sa kanya,"Alam mo nakakaisturbo kana minsan Mark, nakakainis ka eh 8 in the morning pana man yung class ko tas ginising mo ako ng 4:15? Hindi naman ako isang pulis na may training early in the morning so no need mo akong gisingin ng ganitong oras."

"Sorry na please,"he said while pouting his lips,"gusto kita sanang isama sa pupuntahan ko, I have a surprise sana sa'yo Khem kaso galit ka.", he said while acting looked cute.

I raised my eyebrow in curiosity,"Surprise? Tama ba yung narinig ko?"

He nodded his head like an obedient child,"Yes po, surprise."

"What kind of surprise?"

"Gusto kitang dalhin sa dagat ngayon kasi manonood tayo ng sunrise, I know how much you love watching the sunrise Khem", he stops and looks at me,"Pero dahil parang galit ka sa'kin, kaya 'di bale na lng sa susunod na lng kita ulit yayain para manood."

'So he still remembers that I love watching sunrise.', I smiled at him,"Thank you for remembering the things I love, I'm sorry if nagalit ako kaagad akala ko kasi ay pinagtri-tripan mo lng ulit ako," I held his cheeks and look at him,"'Wag ka ng mag emote jan, excited na ako."

He smiled and nodded his head again then he held my hand and kissed the back of it,"For you my lady, I'll do anything."

That sends butterflies in my stomach, hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit gano'n na lng talaga ang epekto nya sa'kin palagi. Small things he does make my heart flutter, I felt special when I was next to him hindi nya talaga nakakalimutan ang gusto ko at palagi nya akong inaalala. I grabbed my black jacket inside my closet at tumungo kasama sya sa labas, he held my hand as we walked downstairs.

"Mag-ingat ka dahil baka madapa ka, okay?", he said in a soft-caring voice.

I nodded my head and he smiled, I felt the butterflies again as he squeezed my hand carefully. Dahan dahan kaming bumaba at nakalabas na kami ng bahay.

"Stay here and I'll get the car", he patted my head,"Umupo ka muna doon.", he said as he pointed to the bench.

"Okay.", I replied.

He smiled and walked towards the garage, minutes later I found a sports car in front of me.

'Bugatti? Wait... Is this a Bugatti La Voiture Noire?!'

I gulped and I heard a voice calling my name, I realized it was Mark and he was the one who was driving the car.

'How can a mere police officer like him have an expensive sports car like this?!'
