TWISTED FATE (On Going)

KABANATA 55

CALLIE'S POV:

"Am I talking to you?" Nakataas ang kilay na tanong ko kay Blade.

He was teasing me about liking Ford, who happens to be Captain's youngest brother. Yes, we were childhood friends but I never had any feelings for Ford. He is just like a brother to me.

"Then why are you blushing?" Nakikisawsaw na tanong ni Cyex while his focus is on the rubrics cube. And here I am, thinking that he was busy all along. 'Yun pala ay nakikitsismis din. Tsk.

I pretended as if I really did blushed and held both of my cheeks.

"Did I?" At pasimpleng binalingan ang kanina pa masama ang tingin na si Vladymir.

He smirked and walked passed by us. Magkasqlubong ang makakapal niyang kilay habang nakatiim ang perfectly shaped niyang panga. I almost laughed when I saw his reaction but I tried to hold my self or else I'll be doomed.

"Will you be honest with us Callie." Naagaw ni Cyex ang atensyon ko.

I raised my brow up with the tone he is using. So demanding. Tsk.

"What?" Kumwari'y naiiritang tanong ko.

"Do you really like..." Bago pa man niya matapos  ang sasabihin  ay biglang sumingit ang kababalik lang na si Vlad and what he said next shut us up.

"Me?" Said he while those deep set of eyes were scanning my emotions. It's  as if he is reading what I am thinking through my eyes.

Bago pa man siya magduda ay agad akong natawa. I laughed my heart out.

"Are you f*cking serious Vladymir?" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong ko habang iiling-iling pa. I evwn accompanied it with a disgusted face.

"The f*ck Pevensee?" Natatawang ani Blade at tinapik sa balikat ang kaibigan.

This time, he looks dangerous. Parang anumang oras ay papaslangin niya ako sa paraan ng pagtingin niya sa akin.

"Hayaan mo na si Vlad. Libre ang mangarap." Panggagatong pa ni Cyex na pilit pinipigilan ang matawa nang malakas.

Nasa ganoon kaming eksena when Captain entered the room together with Ford and Kryz.

May problema kaya? Bakit bigla nalang siyang nasulpot nang walang pasabi.

We settled ourselves sa mga upuan malapit kay Captain. He was standing firm in front of us habang ang kapatid niyang si Ford ay sa akin tumabi at agad na ipinatong ang ulo niya sa balikat ko. Kryz is beside his brother but he is sitting on a high stool. Across to where I am seated are Blade, Cyex and of course Vlad na masama pa rin ang tingin lalong-lqlo na kay Ford. What's with him? Is he not aware that Ford is five years younger than I am? Is he trying to conclude that I am corrupting minors here? D*mn!

Naagaw ni Captain ang atensyon ko nang bigla siyang tumikhim. I wasn't surprised to see na sa akin siya nakatingin. Kanina pa kasi kami nagtitinginan nang masama ni Vlad. Tsss. Ngumiti na lamang ako kay Captain and motioned him to start talking.

"Tomorrow night, there will be a transaction happening at the Oregon Palace." Panimula niya.

Agad na nagtaas ng kamay si Blade para magtanong. Ako dapat 'yun eh. Naunahan niya nga  lang ako.

"What transaction Captain? It's your hotel, right?" Nagtatakang tanong nito.

Napatango-tango naman ako na tila ay nakuha ko ang punto niya. Bakit kaya doon nila napiling magtransact?

"That is why I am here to explain, right?" Sarkastikong tanong ni Captain.  Tsk. Tama nga  naman. "They chose my hotel for security purposes. They are planning to merge to put us down." He explained.
