The Mafia's lover

secret little lie (chapter 3)

Max POV
We've been hanging out for 5 weeks and I already feel comfortable with him,Umabot na sa point na kahit gabi gumagala parin kami nagkukuwentuhan pa nga minsan.I really admit I really have a little crush on him because he's so gentleman,sweet, childish minsan,plus points na lang yung pagiging pogi,malaki ang katawan at higit sa lahat hindi niya ako pinandidirian.
Tonight we're having a dinner sa labas and I already arrived at the place he said,I was waiting on him outside.
"Kanina pa siya wala ah..di niya rin sinasagot tawag ko,did something happened kaya?" I whispered to myself

Jake's POV
I was on my way to meet Max again when suddenly our big boss call me for another target and I can't say no because the payment was huge.

—Fast forward —

I was waiting on the dark alley para dun na gawin ang aking trabaho,while I was waiting I saw my target I immediately pull him to the dark alley.His begging me to spare his life but I can't do anything because it's just my work,I shoot him on the head his blood spreading all over and I quickly leave his dead body there.
I go to the bathroom to clean myself dahil may kunting bahig ng dugo ang american suit ko buti na lang itim.I opened my phone and I'm already late,9 missed calls from Max.I run towards my car and drive faster para maka habol pa,while driving I call him and he immediately answered it.
"Sorry I'm late,Na busy kasi ako sa work di ko namalayan yung oras" pagpapaliwanag ko pa kay Max
"Okay lang,akala ko may nangyaring masama sayo" he responds in a concern voice
"I'm on my way please wait for me a little longer" sabi ko sakanya
"Okay" he hang up the phone
I didn't mean to lie to him I'm just scared na baka hindi niya na ako pansinin,Sakanya ko lang naramdaman to' I was cold to everyone around me and didn't even smile but when it comes to Max I feel so alive and happy,Ito na ba ang tinatawag nila na love?I don't want to fall for him because hindi pa niya alam kung ano talaga ako na tao but I can't help it.I've seen a lot of Omega but only one caught my attention.

Max POV
I was standing outside the Chinese restaurant dahil ito ang pinili niyang kakainan namin, while I was waiting dumating din siya.I watch him walking towards me.
"Tagal mo gutom na ako" Pag biro ko sakanya
"Sorry, Tara na pasok na tayo" he respond and held my hand
"Teka ano tong pula sa suit mo?" Curious kong tanong
"Ah.. That's just a ketchup natapunan kasi ako ng ketchup kanina" sagot niya sakin
"Ah sige tara na" We enter the restaurant and as always na amoy ko na naman ang masarap na pagkain
We sat on a vacant seat and grab the resume, After namin mag order kumain na kami.Binalot kami ng katahimikan I feel strange dahil siya ang palaging nagsisimula magsasalita pero ngayon ang napakatahimik niya.
"Are you okay?" Pangunguna ko
"Yeah" tipid niyang sagot
I didn't feel that his okay dahil kitang kita naman sa mata niya na something's bothering him.After a while we finished our dinner and go out as we walk towards his car he grips on my arm.
"Max" He called me while still gripping on my arm
"What is it?" Tanong ko pa sakanya
"A-ah..wala nevermind na lang" he responds and let go of my arm he opened the door for me and I get in,He get in too and drive smoothly.

We arrived at my house after a few minutes and when I was about to go out of the car he called me again
"Max wait." Bigla siyang magsalita
"What?If something's bothering you Jake you can tell me" sagot ko kay Jake na mukhang kinakabahan
"Can I ask you something?" Tanong pa niya
"Yeah sure" tipid kong sagot
"Do you uh..like me?" Pag tanong niya sakin na ikinagulat ko
"Uhm..Maybe...a little crush I guess" I respond and awkwardly smile
"Ah sige yun lang" he smile at me
"Okay, thanks for the ride" I opened the door and get out of his car and I watch him drove
off.I know there's more bothering him pero di' niya sinasabi but I'll wait until he's ready to open up.
I was laying on my bed can't sleep thinking about Jake sudden silence earlier I know there's some he want to tell me but couldn't find words to say it,If I ask him he might get irritated of my stubbornness.I close my eyes trying to sleep and meanwhile I already fallen asleep.

Jake's POV
I was laying on my bed thinking kung kailan o pano ko sasabihin kay Max that I'm not just an ordinary person that I killed ton's of people to get money I couldn't find a words to say that I'm a Mafia.I'm scared of telling him the truth he might change and the worst part baka ipakulong pa niya ako, I'll just keep this a secret this is how I live this is how I survive.And If he knows what I am?ano naman ang paki niya It's none of his fucking business he has no right's to judge me of what I am,If he really likes me he would accept me of what I am,If he really likes me hindi niya ako iiwan but if he doesn't do that I'll just kill him.I can forget the 5 weeks hanging out with him to stay clean,I can't just go to the prison easily I can't waste my efforts.But what about my feelings?No I'll just ignore this hindi niya dapat malaman, I'll stop seing him, I'll stop hanging out with him and in case that we meet I'll just ignore him.

The next morning I wake up and heard the birds chirping I rub my eyes and yawn,I heard my phone ringing and grab it to see who's calling early in the morning and it's Max at first I hesitate to answer but I just answered it.
"Hello" I said in a cold voice
"Luh ang aga-aga ang cold na" he responds and I can feel his voice are so positive
"What do you want"I stay my voice cold as I responds to him
"Tara gala" pang aalok pa niya
"No,I can't I'm busy" I calm my voice and still cold
"Sige na may bagong bukas na restaurant puntahan natin" Pagpilit pa niya
"When I say no,NO!" I raised my voice a little
I think his scared because he hang up,I didn't know what's the reason of my sudden anger.I don't know why I'm mad at him wala naman siyang ginawang mali bakit ako galit?hindi ko na maintindihan ang sarili ko I feel conflict but I have to keep this up para kalimutan siya I'll continue to ignore him just to keep myself clean I have to ignore my feelings too.I will never let him know that I'm a Mafia
