Disobedience

Chapter 18: Delusional

Kimberly Jane

"Hey, Dean.." I trailed. "...yeah, so I won't be able to make it to my nine a.m class today. yeah, everything's okay, it's just that I had this ...big situation." I cleared my throat and gave him a side eye. He was also on a phone call with his frat bros about something. I could hear him since he's just standing an arm length away while he has that hushed conversation. I told him to move away from me but he wouldn't listen, even now, he couldn't get his hands off of me, his hand is still resting on my knee, like he was afraid that any minute, I'll run through the door.

"Yeah, task Jason with cleaning the frat house, that's what he gets for barging into my dorm room..."

I overheard him when I ended the call with my boss. I rolled my eyes when I remembered what Jason said about him just an hour ago. I shouldn't care but it doesn't sit right with me. Gwapo si Elijah, so it was only natural that girls would be all over him but then again the thought that he touched another woman and he did all the three bases with them pisses me off. I am not his girlfriend but shît, just like that, wala na ako sa mood.

"Woah, woah, where do you think you're going?" Tanong niya nang sinubukan kong umalis mula dito sa bathroom counter niya. My hair is wet from the shower while I wear one of his shirts. I looked away from his exposed hard chest since he was only wearing a pair of sweatpants. His friend might be right about me being wild because now, I could see the numerous marks I left in his skin.

"I'm going home."

"Yeah, I'll take you home but let's eat breakfast first, hm?" Malambing niyang sagot, like he didn't destroy my côochie all night and bent me like a pretzel. When he was done with me in the shower, hindi na ako makatayo. Nanginginig ang mga hita ko at mahapdi na ang pagkababae ko. His green eyes remained on my face but I could see that he's trying to decipher what's going on in my head.

"What do you want to eat?" He asked softly and planted gentle kisses on my jawline.

I put my fingers on his hair and tried to yank him from my face. Now, magkasalubong na ang kanyang mga makakapal na kilay, as though now he knew something is wrong with me.

"N-No. Tigilian mo nga ako." I huffed and crossed my arms. "I don't want to eat with you. I have a specific diet."

"What kind of specific diet?" Tanong niya.

"None of your business." Pinandilatan ko siya. "I have food at my house, I'll just eat there. I have to clean my office anyway." Sagot ko at naglayo ng tingin.

"I already cleaned it." He calmly replied.

Napatitig naman ko sa kanya.

"You were so tired that you didn't notice that I snuck out of bed way early in the morning."

Napalunok ako.

"Whatever."

"So what is this specific diet?" Tanong pa niya.

"Pake mo ba? Why don't you eat with one of your girls, I'm only here for séx."

"Why would I do that? Wala naman akong ibang babae."

Inirapan ko siya.

"I see. You're still thinking about what Jason said." Nakangisi niyang sabi.

"N-No! I don't really care if you fúcked the entire graduating class."

Nagpatuloy lamang siyang ngumisi habang hawak niya ang bewang ko.

"You get really flustered when you lie, hottorney." Sagot pa niya. "For the record, Jason was lying. I didn't sleep with all the cheerleaders.........just only half of them."

Hindi ako makapaniwalang napatitig sa kanya habang nakahalukipkip ako. As if that makes it any better?!

"I hate you! Get away from me!" Sigaw ko sa kanya habang pilit kong tinutulak ang kanyang matigas na dibdib, which of course, didn't do anything because he is at least three times stronger than me.

Then this motherfúcker started laughing as he caught my hands.

"If you could just see your face right now." Tatawa-tawa pa niyang sabi.

"Bitawan mo nga ako! Elijah, ano ba! Stop, I want to go home!"

"Grabe ka talagang magselos." He wrapped his arms around me, I turned my face away but he gripped my chin and made me look at this face.

"I'm not jealous! You are sooo delusional."

"Okay, delusional na ako." He leaned in and gave me a kiss on the lips. "You're right and I'm wrong. You're totally not jealous, Elijah is just really delusional, hm?" He murmured and planted more soft pecks on my lips.

Just like that, I melted in his arms. Naubusan ako ng sasabihin sa kanya.

"What Jason said was a rumor. I don't sleep with multiple girls. I pick a fúck buddy every month, and yes, I know you don't care." Nakangisi niyang dagdag nang makita niya na magiging defensive na naman ako. "I never kissed them on the lips and I have never devirginized them. You're the only one, Kimberly—and yes, again you don't care." Nakangisi pa rin niyang sabi na mas lalo kong ikinapula.

We were in a fúcked up situation and yet, Elijah's the only one who can make me feel this way, weirdly assured.

"Now, tell me about the diet thing because you're not going back to your house unless you let me feed you." There was a certain assertiveness in his tone that I know I couldn't say no to. Maybe I am starting to see about what he meant when he told me that he's not controlling, just very possesively dominant.

I don't feel controlled and it was just he knew how to put me in my place, properly.

"I eat gluten free and low carb bagel with either non-gmo cream cheese or organic almond butter with strawberries, as well as low sugar with high protein coconut yogurt and fresh orange juice." Sagot ko na ikinatango lang niya. "I would need you to squeeze the orange juice by hand since I don't drink the bottled ones because of added sugars." I added like a brat, hoping that would push him away but he only smiled.

"Anything else?"

"That's only for breakfast. I am a very high maintenance and picky woman, Elijah."

"Yes and I am not complaining. I'll have someone get those, asap." He calmly replied and planted a kiss on my chin.

"Do I need to give you money for that?" Nanunuya ko pang tanong. "You're only a student after-all."

He chuckled.

"I'm a student but I'm not broke, baby." His tone is playful, he had no ounce of insecurity. And what did he just call me?

"Daddy's money?" Pang-aasar ko pa.

"Yes, Kimberly. I'm your daddy, so yes, It's my money." He winked at me.

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko at hindi ako nakasagot.
