DARKE

Wala na yatang mas masakit pa sa makitang masaya si Dulcis sa pinsan ko. Ako? Naliligo sa ulan habang pinagmamasdan sila sa bintana ng private room ni Dulcis na nag-uusap... nagbubulungan at... nagyayakapan.

"I like you, Pieter."

I thought that was Dulcis. I would be crying really hard if that was from Dulcis but hell, I am just dreaming. My Dulcis don't know about love with opposite sex. She's not minding my moves. She's simply... numb. Ni hindi siya nagseselos.

There are white ones who adored me way back times in States. Yanna's one of them. She had liked giving me love cards and sweet chocolates. Binibigay ko naman ang mga ito kay Dulcis and she'll be very happy of it. Hanggang sa nakarating sa akin na may nambubully kay Dulcis. She was not crying when we, Pryce and I, found her. She's standing and staring confusingly at Yanna and at the two other American citizens.

"She stole the chocolates I gave you!" rason kaagad ni Yanna sabay iyak.

"I didn't steal anything, Yanna. Darke--"

Damn. "Yanna, I gave it to her," sabi ko at prinotektahan na si Dulcis.

"Wh-what?" iyak ni Yanna.

"Yes. So stop this."

"Y-you gave her my gifts to you... You're rude!"

I started liking Dulcis the moment I was in my right mind to think and decide. I was ten back then, young and free. She's nine and is so pretty. Dulcis is one of the people in this world to be treasured. I want to hide her, own her. No one's stopping me even my parents. They want her to be with us too even her biological parents were accused to be sinful humans who like to deteriorate the pack.

Pumasok kami sa school for primary then secondary level. I was astounded with her excellence and diligence. She's a silent type girl and everyone thought she's a mystery. A boy named Rocky was about to ask her out when we were in the 5th grade. Inunahan ko na iyon at hinarangan. I told him that I own that innocent Dulcis. He's not that easy and he's persistent to ask my Dulcis. I barred his way with my beast form. He looked shock as he ran fast like a lightning and never bothered to plan on doing that again.

I was twelve when I finally made a move. She's sleeping and I sneaked inside her room. I kissed her temple as I chuckle that moment. I knew she's tired that time because she's from the transformation. How I hope that that curse will just banish. How will I talk to that scary ulfric then? This is what I thought before. I was not able to fight because I am still a kid way back then but now? I can beat both the superiors of the pack.

I am very territorial and she is really open. My cousin Paul has a crush on her at galit ako dahil doon. Fifteen kami noon ni Paul at fourteen lang si Dulcis. She's so young but I think Paul started ogling her puberty. To suppress a fight between us, I told Paul about my real feelings towards my Dulcis. He frowned but later on gave up on admiring her and began searching for a girl to be fancied with.

She fifteen when I saw her with the sexy dresses my mom bought for her. Ogling isn't my style. I appreciate her cuteness and innocence and simplicity and her beauty. Fifteen yet innocent. Ni wala talaga siyang crush crush noon and I'm happy for it. Happy ako na sa akin siya clingy. Ang pagiging clingy niya ay blessing yata sa akin. I like it when she giggle on my shoulder, breathe on my chest and embrace me on the back. I love the way she pacify me whenever anything or anyone pissed me off.

Nang nag-sweet sixteen siya, pinatikim sa kanya ang wine na nabili nina mom sa ibang bansa pa. Ayaw ko noon pero mapilit sila at parang nagustuhan naman niya. There were beers too and dad's forcing me to grab some and learn some of those. It was my first time to get drunk. I am a good boy and I do not drink. Ito lang iyong unang beses at simula nito... I started to like it but occasionally lang. Kapag nag-aya sila ay ayos lang lalo na sina Paul at dad.
