Tame (GirlxGirl Book 2 )

Chapter 3

Raven

We arrived in the parking area, but before we alighted from the car, I kissed her lips quickly.

"Nakakarami ka na, Vierci." I raised my hands, telling her that I surrender.

"Alright, hinay-hinay lang ako," I heard she chuckle sweetly.

We go to the mall and search for a restaurant. While walking, I held her soft hand and entwined it with mine. Everyone is looking at us, but I can't hear them, unlike before, when every gossip curses my ears.

Sunny suddenly stops, "Saan nga ba dito yun?" while scratching her forehead.

I look around since mas matangkad ako kesa sa kaniya, and just by looking, some people caught my eye. I don't know they're just looking at me like something is different.

"Raven? Okay ka lang?" I looked at Sunny and smiled at her. I don't want her to be bothered, or maybe I'm just being paranoid.

"Yes, Amore, may napansin lang ako, but let's go over there, baka nandoon, or I can ask someone... wait." I walk towards the guard who's roaming around.

"Excuse me? Alam mo ba kung saan ang bilihan ng pizza dito?" He just stares at me like he's seeing a ghost.

"Hello?" I wave my hand in front of him to give some attention to me.

"Ah, eh, level 4 po katabi ng elevator, ma'am."

"Grazie," then I go back to Sunny... She looks mad at me. What the hell did I do?

"Amore," I call her, but she's just raised her eyebrow while looking at me like a knife.

"Amore, mo mukha mo!" Did I do something wrong? Or did I say something?

"Che cosa? I just asked the guard—what did I do?" She rolled her eyes.

"Sobrang tulala sayo parang gusto kanang i-uwi! Kainis!" I smiled mischievously.

"Ano? Ngiti ka dyan! Akala mo makukuha mo ko dyan?" Pag tataray pa niya.

"Hmm, bakit hindi ba kita makukuha sa ganito?" Nilapit ko yung mukha ko sa mukha niya, and I swear I want to kiss her right now.

"I-Isa! Raven tumigil," lalo ko pang nilapit ang mukha ko sa kaniya.

"D-Dalawa! Vierci! Tumigil! Gutom na si Chichi!" Oo nga pala, kaya nilayo ko na ang mukha ko sa kaniya dahil baka di ako makapag pigil na halikan siya.

We use the elevator to go up to level 4. Inside, we were accompanied by the elevator attendant and four masculine men. I've seen them a while ago while looking around. Maybe a coincidence...

"Level 4," the attendant said.

"Thank you," I said in response. The door opened, and I pulled Sunny out of the elevator and saw the pizza parlor. We went inside, but there are too many people in line.

"Raven, wait mo na lang ako, upo ka na muna." I nodded and gave her my wallet. I sit beside an old lady who's also waiting. I looked around again and saw that four men were standing in the corner, two fast food restaurants away from us. This is bad. I can feel there's something odd about them.

I look at Sunny, who's still in line waiting; she looks at me and smiles. I smile back and act normal so those odd men will not think that I already know what's happening.

A few minutes more, and our pizza is already done. I stand up and hold the pizza for Sunny, with the other hand holding her, but before leaving, I glanced back to those four men, knowing they're following us.
