Chapter 14

Third Person's POV:

Sheena's knees were already shaking. Inside her head she was screaming for help. She knew she was too early to wait outside as her Grab driver will take a while since it's still rush hour. She should have waited a little longer inside, that's the thought of regrets she has right now while a drunk bastard holds her wrist tight enough to make her panic.

She wanted to scream but she does not want to cause more scene. People around are busy with their own hastiness. She also isn't the type of person who relies on anybody when it comes to defending herself. Although she wishes, Mikha, her bestie, could have been here at this very moment, because she's her only version of a brave protector.

But someone's name inside of her that she wanted to stop thinking and wishing about.

Gwen... the Name that her brain wouldn't stop thinking about. Not the usual Sheena that she is, the Sheena who's mind always speaks a lot of words just as how her own mouth does, this time, whispering just the word Gwen inside of her head is already enough to say that the equivalence of  is Help me, I-I need help.

She then shook the thoughts off and convinced herself that she can stand and fight for her own. Just as then she was about to land a strong slap to this bastard, someone's fist already did it for her.

It wasn't just a slap but a certain kind of blow of a punch that not even a person whose drank in alcohol, will not make up to his or her senses and sober up.

She even heard the person who did it say malutong na badwords, words full of anger sa lutong.

She first took a look in the bastard who is now holding her face in pain. Then quickly turned to the direction where the fist came from. In her disbelief she screamed her name.

"G-Gwen?!!"

The older's eyes did not leave at the direction of the man who was disrespecting Sheena earlier.

"G@g-o ka ah! Sino kaba! bakit moko sinuntok? Tapang mong babae ka ah? Ano ba pinagmamalaki mo? Bakit kaba nangingielam?" Jake angrily asked Gwen while still holding that part of the face where the latter landed a painful punch.

Aakma pa sanang sasampal ang sir@u-long  lalaki kay Gwen nang mabilis namang reflex neto na Hinawakan ang wrist neto at nagbanta.

Even with Gwen's slim body built, She's strong.. She has trained for self-defense as requested by her adoptive parents and this is just a small thing for her. She even considers the guy infront of her being too weak for her strenght.

"You don't fcking need to know who I am, you freaking @ssh-ole! Get the hell out or else-" pag babanta ni Gwen.

"Or else ano? tapang mo ah!" Sagot ni Jake na umaastang malakas.

"Or else, you'll be all over the news. you see those couple sa poste right there? Tignan mo dali! They have been recording you and it looks like they've captured everything. Baka nakazoom in pa yang makapal mong pagmumukha. And see that CCTV over there? I can get the copy of their recording easily. To make the matters worst for you, I have a friend working in the broadcasting industry, I'm gonna make sure your name will be all over the news in no-time and you'd probably be losing your job then. Oh and did I say, my bestfriend's mom is a close friend sa isa sa mga kinakatakutang previously Police General ng bansa? So even you decide na dalhin to sa presinto dahil sa suntok na deserve mong matanggap, I promise you, you'll be the one crying behind those bars in no time cause I'm not just going to use the Self defense reasoning sa possible case mo ng assault physical injury but, trust me, gagamitin ko ang Bestfriend card ko to make that happen for you! So choose your poison, now." Mahaba pero matapang na pag babanta ni Gwen habang nanlilisik na ang mga mata niya sa lalaking  mas matangkad pa siya ng kaunti. Kaya parang she was Looking down on him, literally and figuratively.
