Marriage #2: My Bodyguard [Ongoing]

MB 4

After finishing the conversation, I calmly left the room. Diretso lang ang lakad ko ng makalabas na ako kahit tama ang hinala ko na nasa labas lang ng pintuan ko ang pisteng bodyguard na ’yon at nagbabantay.

Kampante akong naglalakad dahil alam kong hindi niya ako pipigilan dahil nakasuot na ako ng pambahay. I'm wearing an oversized white t-shirt and denim shorts. I've opted for a natural look and haven't applied any makeup. Kaya naman imposibleng maghinala pa siya na tatakas ako.

I never went out with this outfit.

Pagbukas ko ng mismong pintuan ng bahay ay nandoon na ang tatlo at may dala nga talagang alak.  I thought they were just joking that they would bring alcohol here.

“Oh my God! You really brought drinks," gulat na sabi ko at kalaunan ay natawa. I shook my head while looking at them in disbelief.

“Mukha ba kaming nagbibiro?" umirap si Liz ngunit tumatawa rin siya dahil sa kalokohan nila.

“We're serious, girl," Lucy added with a smirk on her face. She also showed me the junk food she was holding.

I laughed again.

They seem very proud.

“If your bodyguard doesn't want to let you out to drink, then alcohol will come to you!" Mataray na saad naman ni Cassy at inangat pa ang bote. “Come on, let's have a drink in your room."

“And who told you that I would let you come in here with a bottle of alcohol?"

We were all stunned when suddenly a serious and deep voice spoke from behind me. Biglang bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko dahil sa sobrang seryoso ng boses niya.

My friend and I looked at each other with wide eyes.

Mas lumaki naman ang mga mata ko nang hapitin niya ako sa aking baywang gamit ang isang braso niya at nilagay ako sa likuran niya.

He blocked the doorway again and faced my friend while I was behind him. Nag-cross arms siya ng sumandal siya sa haligi ng pintuan.

“Who told you that I'll let her drink?" He asked again as he faced my friends.

I gritted my teeth.

Nag-iinit na naman ang ulo ko dahil sa lalaking ito.

“Get out there, moron!" gigil na sigaw ko at hinila ang damit niya. Ang loko ay hindi man lang nagalaw sa pagkakatayo niya kahit hinila ko siya.

He pretends he didn't hear me.

“Why are you stopping her?" dinig ko ang mataray na boses ni Liz. “You’re just her bodyguard and you have nothing to do with her life."

“I don't care If I'm just her bodyguard," he answered firmly. I'm sure, his jaw was clenching. “Drink if you want but I won't let her drink. I didn't allow her to go to the nightclub so she wouldn't drink, but you brought her alcohol," he chuckled in disbelief.

“My friends are right, moron! You have nothing to do with my life!"

I said but he ignored me again.

I combed my hair with my fingers frustratedly. Hinampas ko siya sa likod dahil sa inis ko pero mukhang wala naman siyang naramdaman. Parang kamay ko pa nga ang nasaktan dahil sa matigas niya likod.

“Goodness! Stop interfering in her life!" It was Cassy who shouted at him. I know they were also frustrated.

He groaned.

“You all are bad influences," he said firmly which made me stop. Hindi ko alam ang reaksiyon ng tatlo dahil nakaharang siya sa pintuan. “If you want to be with her here, then give me those bottles of alcohol. Kung ayaw niyo naman ay puwede na kayong umalis."
