Chapter 7: Dangerous man

I looked my watched and checked the time. It's already 11:30pm. Bukas pa ba ang terminal ng bus ngayon? Si Nathan ba uuwi? I want to ask him if he can drive me home. I'm scared lalo na't gabi na.

I took a deep breath, "May pepper spray naman ako." I was about to call a taxi when someone called my name.

"Irene!" I turned my back and saw Nicholai running towards me. "Uuwi ka na?"

I nodded my head, "Pwede naman ng umalis di ba?"

"Yeah. Uuwi ka na ba?"

"Oo." Tinalikudan ko na siya.

Napaurong naman ako ng hawakan niya ako sa balikat. "Chill. Wala naman akong gagawing masama sa'yo." He smiled. I rolled my eyes on him. Galit pa rin ako dahil binili niya yung condo ko. Damn. I miss my life before. Kung hindi ko lang kailangan umuwi sa probinsya dahil maaga pa akong gigising bukas ay magpapa-umaga talaga ako dito sa party.

I hugged myself because I'm feeling cold. Bigla ko nalang naramdaman ang isang malambot na tela sa likod ko. "I'm not cold! Get lost!" Tinanggal ko yung jacket niya sa likod ko at binato sa kanya.

Pero imbis na umalis siya sa harapan ko at muli na naman niyang binalik yung jacket niya sa may likod ko. "Pag inalis mo 'to, may crush ka sa 'kin." He teased.

"If you don't take this off, I'll kick your ass."

Ngumiti siya ng pilyo, "Then, kick it."

Hinubad ko yung jacket niya at pinuyod yung buhok ko. "I'll really kick your ass, bastard!"

I ended up chasing him. Wala akong pakielam sa ibang estudyante na nadali, natulak at nabangga ko. I didn't even bother to say sorry to them. And yeah, I kick his ass plus his bulge. Damn him!

"Pag ako hindi nagkaanak, you'll take full responsibility!" He said while holding his – Oops. Censored!

"As if I'll take responsibility." I murmured. I checked the time on my watch. Damn! It's 11:45pm! 15 minutes ko ding hinabol ang mokong na 'to.

Pumunta na ako dun malapit sa may kalsada at nag-abang na muli ng taxi. "Uuwi ka na?"

"Ofcourse. You think I'll stay here and party night long? You know my situation, Nicholai. I need to go home." Tumalikod ako sa kanya at akmang papara na ng taxi ng higitin niya yung kamay ko.

I was about to protest but he opened his car door for me. "I'll drive you home."

"How about Nathan? He's drunk. How can he go home by himself –" He cut me off.

"Sa araw na ng sagala niyo siya babalik ng probinsya." That made me happy and – honestly, I felt sad at the same time. Wala na akong kaaway.

"Ah, great. Wag na kamo siyang bumalik." I joked.

Sumakay na rin sa sasakyan si Nicholai, "Pag hindi bumalik si Nathan, ako ang magiging escort mo. Is that okay with you?"

I shook my head, "No. May type ako dun sa hacienda niyo. Yung lalaking matangkad at maganda katawan. Pwede ba siya?" I joked.

He laughed, "Hindi pwede 'yon. It's either me or Nathan, you choose."

I rolled my eyes on him, "Don't want to choose. Kahit wala na kong escort ayos lang." Then, I put my seatbelt and he started the engine.

Nagkwentuhan muna kami ng ilang minuto pero maya-maya ay nakaramdaman na ako ng antok. I closed my eyes and everything went all black.
