Meet The Mafia Queen

xxvi. adler

Vanessa's POV

THE DOOR opened as the maids welcomed me same as butler James, "Where are they?"

"Nasa dining table 'ho, Queen." He bowed at me "Kasama 'ho si sir Eric,"

I nodded and walk towards the kitchen as I saw them eating ice cream, "So what did I missed?"

Their heads turned back and faced me. Eric ran at my direction and hugged me "Vannie, huhuhu!"

What the?

"Let go!" I pushed away and saw his teary eyes "Are you crying?"

He nodded and say, "Sinagot na 'ko ni Jaime, huhuhu."

I almost rolled my eyes "Then stop hugging me! Hug Jaime instead! Ugh." I glanced at my shirt "Look what you've done!"

Eric pouts, "Sorry Vannie! Na-excite lang naman ako e."

"Tss." I hissed and sat beside Cathy "Hey, Jaime."

She looked at me "Queen?"

I glared at Eric "No sex allowed,"

All of them coughed, "What? Got a problem with that?"

No one answered me but Cathy whispered something "Nag-kiss sila kanina, Queen."

I clenched my fist and slammed the dining table "What?!"

Eric looked away "Q-queen, ano ..." Jaime couldn't say what she wants to say

"You Pires!" He ran away when I stood up roughly

"Cathy kasi!" Jaime slapped Cathy's arm

"Ano?" She teasingly asked "Totoo naman a!" She chucked

I sat again "Palibhasa walang love life!" I heard Eric,

"Jaime!" She gritted her teeth "Pag sabihan mo nga 'yang lalaking 'yan!"

But Jaime didn't pay attention to her instead she laughed at her

Everybody's having fun, but here I am. Acting like no one's here,

"Uy, may bitter diyan o!" My left eyebrow raised

"Are you pertaining to me, Pires?" I rolled my eyes "Do you want me to take Jaime away from you?"

"Si Vannie naman o, 'di mabiro. H-hehe." He forced to laugh

"Tss,"

While they were talking about love—shits rather, a person came in my mind

... the suspicious guy,

I'VE DECIDED to stay here to sleep, because I miss my bedroom already.

How I miss my red blanket, hm.

I was facing the ceiling as I remembered his letter. Damn it,

Why am I even thinking about that guy?

'He's just nothing, or an e-enemy, perhaps?'

I shooked my head "No, don't think about that fuckin' guy. Just think about those gangsters,"

Yes, that's right.

But!

I sat on the bed and caress my head, it's aching as fuck!

"—why can't I stop thinking about that guy?" I messed my hair "Am I insane?"

'Maybe, I am.'

My mind was about to explode but Eric knocked on my door several times "Vannie! Vannie! Emergency!"

What?

Even if I don't want to stand up, I did. For the sake of this effin' guy. I opened the door and glared at him

"What do you want?"

"Vannie, Vannie!" He gripped on my shoulders and moved it several times,

"What?!" I shouted "Will you please stop what you're doing?!"

"Ay," he let go of my shoulders, thank God. "May sasabihin kasi ako,"

"Make it fast, I need to sleep."

'And dream about that guy,'

Wait—"Hinahanap ka ni Michael!"

My brows furrowed "Michael who?" He was about to speak but I rolled my eyes "No, I'm not interested."

I was about to closed the door but he said something that made me stop from closing the door

"Michael Adler! Black Blood Gang, Vannie!"
