Chapter 5

Jasper's eyes were wide open. I was pretty stunned with myself, too! I didn't know why I was hell-bent on feeding Jasper. Maybe because I just generally didn't like seeing people not eat... I grew up joining my family in different feeding programs.

Maybe that's the case with Jasper, too.

It's not like he's starving to death—not possible since he's a muscled guy. But maybe it just really felt unsettling seeing him starve himself just so he could properly protect me. I didn't need protecting. I was working as a model, for heaven's sake! The closest thing to danger were those girls trying to ruin my just beginning career.

"You will eat by yourself or do you want me to spoon feed you?" tanong ko sa kanya.

Jasper quickly grabbed the spoon from my hand. It was like he was holding himself back from saying something. This poor boy. I was pretty sure that he's got a sack of restricted thoughts and feelings.

It's like he's always stopping himself from doing what he actually wanted, and doing what he thought was the proper thing to do.

Tinignan niya iyong tatlo. "Take her back to her room," he ordered Kellan and Nico and those two scrambled like babies. So, takot pala silang dalawa kay Jasper...

Jasper must be the leader among the four of them.

"Tss. Nag-alala lang naman..." I said pero umalis na rin ako. Habang patalikod ako, napansin ko na medyo yellow-ish color na iyong bruise niya sa likod. It meant it's healing, I think. Effective kaya 'yung pinilit ko kay Evan na ipainom kay Jasper?

While Nico and Kellan were escorting me back to my room, I asked them. Wala naman kasi si Evan, e. Mukhang mas madaling kausap kapag silang dalawa lang.

"Is he really always that uptight?" I asked Nico.

"Hindi naman po, Ma'am," sagot niya.

"Really? Kahit sa food lang ayaw niyang kumain..." medyo malungkot na sabi ko. Tanggap ko naman kapag binabara ako ni Jasper, pero sana naman kumain siya. It's just giving me unsettling feeling.

"Gusto lang po niya talaga na magawa 'yung trabaho niya nang maayos," paliwanag ni Nico.

"It's not like I'm in danger naman. Peaceful naman dito sa beach. Ang paranoid niya lang, noh?" I asked them, looking for validation but all I got was smile from them.

Seriously, hindi ko na alam paano ko kakausapin 'tong mga sundalo na 'to. Their loyalty lies with each other. Kahit ano'ng tanong ang gawin ko, wala talaga akong makuhang sagot...

I sighed. "Good night," I told them before I got inside the room. Pagpasok ko, I immediately took a quick shower and then prepared for sleep. Nahiga muna ako sa kama since hindi pa naman ako inaantok. I fiddled with my phone for a while before I received a text from Rafa.

Rafa: hey

Me: hey

Rafa: you tired yet?

Me: not really

Rafa: wanna go on a night stroll with me? :)

I got up from the bed and then opened the door. And I was right—Jasper was there.

"Rafa's asking me if I want to go on a night stroll," I told him. Mukhang bagong ligo si Jasper dahil medyo basa pa iyong buhok niya. He also smelled like aftershave—pero syempre hindi ko masyadong pinahalata na ang bango niya. He already humiliated me enough to last a week. Baka pinagchichismisan na nila ako nila Evan kapag wala ako. Ganon kaya ang mga lalaki. Sila Psalm kasi kung sinu-sino ang pinag-uusapan. Ang chismoso ng mga lalaki.
