"HAILEY."
The way he say my name is so gentle, tila ba nakalimutan ko kung ano ang tunay na katauhan ng kausap ko. Tumayo siya at lumapit sa akin, faster than I can blink.
Nasa veranda kami ngayon listening to somewhat classical music with Mama Katherine. Those dark eyes bore with mine. I tried to step back yet he steps forward over to get closer so that we are only couple inch apart.
"Lumayo ka nga! Layo ako ng layo, lapit ka ng lapit!", mahinang sabi ko kay Hunter.
I tried to step backward when he grabs me closer to him. The maids laughed and said that we are a perfect couple.
Kung alam lang sana nila kung gaano ka-demonyo ang unggoy na ito and if only they would know behind our relationship---it's all about a deal.
His cold eyes stare to mine. "You're making me jealous. You're doing sweetstuff with my brother. And yet, all you could do to me is curse me. Am i really a beast to you?"
I blink. Nagseselos siya? Akala ko ba bawal ang ma-in love sa amin? Nagka-amnesia na ba siya?
"Tsk. Close na kami, eh. Saka bakit siya kabilang sa mga men in black mo eh kapatid mo naman pala siya. He even called you, boss? Ang weird lang kasi. Dapat bro, dude, tol or Kuya ang tawag niya sayo. Ikaw naman feel na feel mo matawag na boss ni Knoxx."
"He never dare to call me brother. Not even once. Knoxx is an illigitimate son of my father. My dad and my mom doesn't love each other. Alam mo naman siguro ang arrange marriage? My parents agreed to marry each other to expand our business. Soon, my father has secret affair with Mama Suzette, the woman my dad truly loves."
Seryoso ang mukha niya. So is this one of the reason he's so cold? Pero sa tingin ko naman close sila ni Lennox.
"Being a leader of our family, Knoxx called me boss ever since. But don't worry, were close."
"Leader of a family? Anong pinagsasabi mo?", Naguguluhan kong tanong. "Saka nakalimutan mo na ba ang pinaka-importanteng rule. Don't fall in love. Ikaw pa nagsabi niyan.", Paalala ko sa kanya.
