His Series #5: Nicholas Blackwood

Chapter Twenty-Five

◼MANDY◼

Nag-angat naman ako ng tingin kay Nic ng marinig ko siyang sumigaw. He is really stressed after the hijack news.

I sighed at saka tumayo then lumapit sa kanya. Pumwesto ako sa likod ng swivel chair niya bago sinimulan siyang imasahe sa balikat.

He sighed at saka sumandal.

"Kamusta na?" I asked

"My team is starting to investigate on what happened." He said. I sighed at saka umupo ako sa lap niya. He hold me tight and nuzzled his nose on my neck, inhaling my scent.

"Just take a minute to relax" I said and I rubbed his arms

"No I can't, malaking pera ang mawawala kung hindi mahahanap at mahuhuli ang gumawa nun" He said

"May suspect ka na?" I asked

"Meron na, pero malakas ang kutob ko na si Rowan ang may gawa nito" He said

"Rowan?" I asked

"Right you don't know him, he is my uncle...well hindi ko na siya tinuturing na uncle simula ng traydorin niya kami" He said. His fist clenched at hinawakan ko naman iyon

"He killed my mother Mandy...he bluntly admit it infront of my face" He said and he close his eyes na parang pinipigilan ang sarili niya na may gawin na kung ano

"Mandy...can you go outside first?" He asked at kumunot naman ang noo ko

"Why?" I asked

"Just...please.." He said in strained voice. Tumayo naman ako at saka lumakad papunta sa pinto. Ng makalabas na ako ay nakarinig naman ako ng pagkabasag.

Papasok sana ulit ako pero may pumigil saakin. Tumingin ako kung sino iyon at si Zaim naman iyon

"Let him be. Minsan lang maging ganyan yan" He said at saka hinawakan ang wrist ko at hinila ako sa kung saan

"A-anong nangyayari sa kanya?" I asked habang naglalakad kami sa hallway

"Nic is a quiet person. Kalmado siya sa lahat ng oras pero pagdating sa Mama niya...he's always like that" He said

"Hindi ba dapat tulungan natin siya?" I asked again

"Just...let him be. Pinsan ko siya Mandy, I know him" He said at saka pinaupo ako sa sofa na nasa glassdoor na pinasukan namin

I sighed at saka hinilot ang sentido ko. First the demon then next is this Rowan man

"Bro, did you-- oh.." Tumingin ako kay Lancaster na kakapasok lang

"Oh bakit?" Zaim asked

"Na-track mo na ba si Rowan?" He asked

"That mutt knows how to hide well..para siyang di nage-exist sa mundo na to" Zaim grumbled at saka umupo at binuksan ang laptop niya

"What are you doing here Mandy?" Lancaster asked

"Uhm...nagwawala si Nic sa office niya...pinalabas niya muna ako" I said and he just nodded

"Still no clue about that fucking demon?" Zaim asked

"I asked all the paranormal expert na kilala ko. Wala silang nararamdaman na demonyo sa paligid nila" Lancaster answered habang ako ay tahimik lang at iniisip ang nangyayari ngayon

This demon...galit siya kay Nic

Then this Rowan, galit din siya.

Something clicked in my mind at saka napatayo. Tumingin naman saakin ang dalawang lalaki na nanduon.

"Where I can find this Rowan?" I asked at nagkatinginan naman ang dalawa bago tumingin saakin ulit

"At bakit? anong gagawin mo?" Lancaster asked

"I need to confirm something. Kailangan ko siya makita" I said

"The hell I will approve on that" Tumingin ako sa nagsalita at si Nic iyon.

"Nic.." I said. Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko at saka hinatak palabas ng kwartong iyon.

Tinatawag ko siya pero hindi siya nakikinig saakin. Hanggang sa makarating kami sa carpark

"Nic ano ba! makinig ka saakin!" I said. He pushed me against the car and he clenched his jaw

"Ano bang problema mo!?" I asked. He didn't answer me instead he just kissed me. That kissed is rough and full of need

I was gasping for air ng humiwalay siya saakin. He looked at me in the eyes before he sighed

"Just be quiet and don't ask questions. I need your ass to hop in this car...I want you" He said at saka binuksan ang pinto ng shotgun seat

I sighed at saka pumasok duon.
