Chapter 8

I didn't want to go home just yet. I was in the mood for a drink... but I knew that I'd be in a lot of trouble if my parents catch me drinking. I was already an adult, but they still treated me like a kid. It's okay, though, since I kinda like being the center of their attention.

"Jasper," I said. I was still sitting down, but suddenly, I felt all too tired. "I wanna drink."

"Okay," he replied.

"Can you drink with me?"

"No."

"Please?"

Umiling siya. I frowned.

"Can you at least carry me on your back? My feet ache," I complained and then opened my arms. I knew that Jasper's already annoyed with me, but I kinda liked annoying him. He's dull, but he's the cute kind of dull. The kind that makes you want to annoy him more... and at the same time, challenges you because it's really hard to get a reaction from him.

"You're a baby," he said.

"I'm heart broken, okay? I'm really sad tonight..."

He looked like he had a comment to say, but he held himself back. Instead, Jasper squatted in front of me. I smiled to myself. He really couldn't resist, could he?

Sumakay ako sa likod niya. He held my legs with his arms, while I rested my head on his shoulder.

"Nagkaron ka na ba ng girlfriend?" I asked him. He ignored my question, of course. "Ex?" I prodded. "Nililigawan?" I added.

"You're so nosy."

I pouted. "Ang tahimik mo kasi. Namiss ko tuloy si Evan bigla..."

"Evan is married," Jasper was quick to say.

"Oh! Talaga?! Hindi halata!"

"So, don't get any ideas," Jasper said.

"Hala! Wala naman akong sinasabi!" I defended myself. Hindi ko lang talaga maisip na may asawa si Evan kasi palagi lang siyang nakasunod sa akin... It didn't occur to me that someone's actually waiting for him to come home... This was exactly why having bodyguards made me uncomfortable. It made me feel like I was inconveniencing everyone. It's not like the world would stop spinning naman if something were to happen to me... I was just an up and coming model—not Mother Theresa.

"Pero seryoso? May asawa na nga siya?" Jasper nodded. "Hindi ba hinahanap si Evan sa bahay nila?"

"It's his job," Jasper said. He was walking like I weighted nothing. It's nice to be carried like this.

"Pero kahit na... kapag ako nag-asawa, ayoko ng ganon... I think I'd be really clingy..." I said and then held on tighter. "Ang hirap kapag hindi mo nakikita araw-araw at nakakasama 'yung mahal mo, 'di ba?"

I expected at least a nod from him, but I didn't get any.

"Have you ever been in love, Jasper?"

"You're so nosy."

I poked his cheek. "Sagot na. Na-in love ka na ba?"

He stopped walking. "I'll drop you if you don't stop prying."

I frowned. "Wala ka namang sinasagot sa mga mahahalagang tanong ko."

"Your questions are not important," he replied, bored.

"Hindi mo pa rin sinasabi kung bakit English speaking ka!" I asked him and kinda tightened my hold around his neck. Inalis niya iyong isang kamay na nakahawak sa legs ko tapos niluwagan niya iyong hawak ko sa leeg niya. God, he's so strong!
