26: Rules of Dashed

"Dashed..." I tried to call his attention as he started pulling me away from that place.

Ramdam ko ang galit niya kaya kahit gusto ko mang magtanong tungkol sa sinabi ni Dashléy kanina ay hindi ko na magawa. I'm afraid he'd be more upset if I spoke.

Pero ano bang nangyayari?

Lumingon ako upang tignan ang mga teammates niya na pinapabalik siya ron. Pero parang wala siyang naririnig at patuloy lang sa paghatak sa kamay ko.

"Dashed... where are you taking me?" I managed to ask as we walked down the seemingly endless corridor.

"Stop looking at them, Bronwyn," he said sternly, making me freeze in my tracks. "You wouldn't like it when I'm jealous."

I stared at him in awe. Did he just confess he's jealous?!

Biglang bumigat ang paghinga ko.

My stomach flipped. My heart thwacked. And at a later time, I just found myself suppressing a small smile.

Marami ang nakatingin sa amin habang naglalakad kami sa kalagitnaan ng mga nakalupong na estudyante sa gilid. I tried to clamp my lips together, but it didn't work. A smile was still escaping.

Oh, come on, Bronwyn.

Get a grip of yourself. You shouldn't feel things like this.

You're just helping him. Always remember that.

"Have you eaten?" he asked when we reached the parking lot.

"Not yet..." I said, feeling a bit flustered by his tone. "Your brother threw away my food."

"Why did you come with him in the first place?" his deep and spine-chilling voice made me step back.

Bakit ba pakiramdam ko ay malaki iyong nagawa kong kasalanan sa kanya? E kapag siya nga itong may kasamang babae, hindi naman ako nagrereklamo, e.

"He dragged me out. Lalaki siya kaya malamang ay mas malakas siya sa'kin kaya nagpatianod na lang ako. Kahit naman kasi magprotesta ako, hindi rin uubra sa higpit ng hawak niya sa kamay ko." I tried to explain, but his face remained serious. "Look, I didn't like what he did, so quit looking at me like I really did something wrong when in fact, I did not! It was your brother's fault!"

"That fucking ass..." he muttered and put me inside his car.

"We can't leave the school, Dashed! May klase pa ako!" I yelled when he started the engine.

He glanced at his wristwatch before speaking, "We still have thirty minutes left. Drive-thru lang tayo."

"What? May café naman dito, ah..."

"I don't like the ambiance, baby."

"Edi ikaw na lang 'yong umalis."

"Dashléy might come after you," he said viciously. "I don't like it. You're mine. You can't go near him."

Heavenly Gods.

"P-Pero baka pagalitan ka ng coach niyo d-dahil umalis ka na lang ng basta-basta dun." tugon ko habang pilit iniiwas ang namumula kong mukha sa kanya.

"I don't care. I have a lot to say to you."

I stared at him, my eyes growing large. "Ano namang sasabihin mo?"

"My rules, baby," he glanced at me briefly. "You should know my rules."

My forehead creased.

"Rules for what?"

"Come on. I'm your boyfriend, and you have to deal with my possessiveness. Bibigyan mo naman siguro ako ng karapatan sa'yo, hindi ba?" he let go of the gearstick and placed his hand on top of mine. I probably looked stupid while ogling at this perfection! "If I tell you you're mine, it means you are. And... I don't share, baby. I'm selfish when it comes to all my properties."

And I couldn't speak. There's a lump forming in my throat. I tried to ask myself; What am I supposed to say? What am I supposed to do next? But damn it.  Hindi ko alam. Wala akong alam na sabihin.

I tried to shut my eyes, and suddenly, I couldn't quite breathe.

Lord. You're making this situation hard for me.

Lumiko ang kanyang sasakyan sa pinakamalapit na fast food chain dito sa De La Carida, which is iyong Jollibee. We went through the drive-thru since he said it's better to eat in the car to save time. And as he ordered our food from the two female crew members, napagmasdan kong maigi kung paano halos mahimatay ang mga babaeng 'yon sa kilig.

Napailing na lang ako. He really has an effect on girls wherever he goes. It's astonishing. It's amazing.

It's mind-boggling.

Oh well, he's your boyfriend, Bronywn.

"Pakisubuan na lang ako, please," nagsalubong ang mga kilay ko sa naging utos niya sa akin. We had everything he ordered at nasa kandungan ko ang mga iyon. Now, we're heading back to school. "I can't use my hands. I'm driving." he raised his shoulders.

Tinitigan ko siya ngunit nang tumagal iyon ay bumilis lamang ang pagtibok ng puso ko.

"Fine," I heard myself saying. "So what do you want to eat?"

"You."

My eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"What?"

He bit his lip, and I saw the frustration in his eyes. "I said I want something delicious!" he said loudly, causing my face to scrunch up.

"Lahat naman 'to masarap," I pointed to the food we ordered. "Do you want fries?"

"Bronywn..." he sighed, and I gulped. Geez. Why do I blush when he says my name... the way he says it, it's husky and... sexy. "I'm gonna state my rules, so listen carefully."

"O-Okay?"

"You should only look at me. Not at anyone else. 'Wag sa mga teammates ko lalong-lalo na sa mga kapatid ko."

I looked away, feeling my cheeks turn red, "Okay..."

"Kapag may humihingi ng number mo, number ko iyong ibibigay mo."

"What if it's a girl?"

"That's up to you," he grinned mischievously. "And I would be happier if you're going to be selfish over me. Like what I'm doing to you now."

"O–Okay..."

"When I'm not with you, you can't wear shorts or sleeveless shirts."

"Okay..."

"Don't drink without me."

"Okay..."

"Don't come near other guys unless it's me."

"Okay..."

"And most importantly..." he tightened his grip on my hand. "Like I said earlier, you should only belong to me."

Jesus.

Mas dumoble ang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko.

Tinitigan ko siya at marahang tumango. "Okay..."

He smiled and said, "Remember this, baby... if you ever try to break just one of my rules, a french kiss will be your punishment."
