The Playboy's Bodyguard (Completed)

Chapter 2

I read the Abellioni's files again. It said here, the first attack happened three years ago and it cost the matriarch's life. Mr. Gerard Abellioni's business is related to exporting and importing of goods, nothing is unusual here.

The second attack happened a few months ago. The two Abellionis had been ambushed. There's something about the old Abellioni, he better spill it now before it's too late. The enemies were just around the corner.

Ipinadala ko rin talaga kay Kairo ang ibang files ng mga Abellionis kagabi. But nothing was suspicious with these reports.

Nanliit ang mga matang napasulyap ako sa pinto nang makarinig ng kaluskos doon. It's only four in the morning. Tahimik kong dinampot ang aking handgun at tinungo ang pinto. I turned the lights off. Pinakiramdaman ko muna ang kabilang pinto saka maingat na pinihit ang door knob.

Isang anino ang aking naaninag. Inaninag ko pang mas mabuti ang anino ngunit sumugod na ito sa akin. I instantly kicked his shin and tackled him down. Isang malakas na sigaw ang kumawala sa anino.

"Fuck Axl!" isang pamilyar na boses. Napaluwag ang pagkakahawak ko sa kanya when it dawned on me.

"Mr. Abellioni-Zero?" I got off on his back.

"Babalian mo ba ako?" galit na tanong niya.

"I didn't know it was you. I thought there was an intruder." sagot ko. Napakadilim pa ng pasilyo.

"Intruder my ass!" lumiwanag ang kapaligiran and I saw him in pain. Napalakas yata ang pagkakahawak ko sa kanya.

"Pasensya na kung napalakas ang hawak ko." naglakad ako palapit sa kanya.

"Hawak? You twisted my-" laglag pangang napatingin siya sa akin. What's wrong with me?

Tiningnan ko ang aking sarili saka napabuntong hininga. I forgot I was only in my lingerie. I couldn't sleep with my clothes on, this made me feel comfortable. Kung nasa barracks o apartment nga lang ako kahit panties o brassiere ay wala talaga akong suot.

"Fuck! Fuck!" I heard him curse loudly. Napakunot ang noo ko at napatingin sa kanya.

"What's the matter?" mas lumapit pa ako sa kanya at inabot ang kanyang braso. Did I break his bone? I checked on his arm wala namang bali iyon medyo may pamumula lang. Nang tangkain kong abutin ang kabila niyang braso, tinapik niya ang aking kamay palayo.

"I'm fine." he's not looking at my direction. "Just put your clothes on."

"I can't sleep with my clothes. I actually sleep naked in my apartment." I tilted my head.

"Damn!" I heard him groan. "Wala ka sa apartment mo. And please wear your clothes when you're here in my house." mabibigat ang paghingang wika niya. Ano bang problema sa suot ko?

"But the girl yesterday was naked and you too." I explained. What's wrong with them. Even Kairo reacted like him sometimes when seeing me with my lingeries only.

"That's my point!" he spat. "We're naked because we're fu-nevermind!" aburido siyang tumalikod. "Just follow my house rule. Wear your clothes on if you aren't inside your room." naglakad na siya pababa ng hagdan. Ngayon ko lang napansin, he's wearing sweatpants and pullover. He maybe going for a jog.

"Shit." kaagad akong pumasok sa kwarto at nagsuot ng damit. He went out for a run and I was left here. Sakit sa ulo talaga ang lalakeng iyon.

Wala na akong Zero na naabutan sa labas ng bahay. Napakabilis niya namang mawala. Ilang kanto pa ng village ang aking sinuyod ngunit wala akong Zero na makita. Twenty minutes had passed. I had no choice but to call Kairo. Wala na akong oras para bumalik sa bahay at magbukas ng laptop.
