Mafia Boss 1: Saved By Him

24: Yeovil

I couldn't stop smiling. 'My Grimes', huh?

Damn it! Hindi ko muna masyadong inisip yung sinabi niyang Kinsley is her boyfriend, that will just annoy me even more.

I tapped her shoulder lightly, she was still hugging me.

"Watson," tawag ko sa kanya. Naramdman ko namang bumitaw ang mga kamay niya and little snores escaped from her mouth. She's asleep on my chest. Tsk.

Paano niya nagawang hindi man lang maamoy o malasahan ang ininom niya? Stupid. Isa pa naman sa mga matapang na whiskey iyon sa buong mundo. Even just a sip you'll feel its kick.

"Watson wake up," she just moaned. Must be really drunk.

Wala na akong nagawa kung hindi ang buhatin siya hanggang sa kwarto niya. And here she goes again, her hand was holding my shirt. Just like what she did before. Dahan dahan ko siyang inilapag sa kama.

I tried to remove her hand mabuti nalang at hindi mahigpit ang hawak niya don. Nakaupo ako sa gilid ng kama niya. I was just watching her sleeping at hindi ko alam kung bakit. I couldn't take my eyes off her.

Pinigilan ko ang sarili kong mag stay sa kwarto niya. I decided to go back in my room when I heard her sobs.

Napatingin ako sa kanya and tears coming from her closed eyes. Whispering 'no' or 'tama na, ayoko na' hanggang sa palakas na ito ng palakas.

Lumapit agad ako sa kanya, tapped her cheeks para magising siya. She's having a nightmare, the same nightmare she had before. I knew it.

"Watson wake up," she doesn't open her eyes.

"Hey..." I kept on waking her up.

"Huwag!" And finally she opened her eyes, napatigil siya saglit habang habol pa rin ang hininga, and when she realized it was me, in a split second she was hugging me, tight, and still crying.

"Shhh it's okay. I'm here." Doon lang ako napaisip, is she still having these nightmares every night? Savv said she's totally fine. I know hindi iyon madaling kalimutan pero bakit hindi niya sinasabi sa amin na may nangyayari palang ganito? She's still going to the hospital once a week for her therapy and other treatments, though.

"He's l-looking for me. He will k-kill me," she said between her sobs. Naikuyom ko ang kamao ko.

"No one will, Watson." No one.

"Promise?" parang bata niyang tanong, I don't know if it's because she's drunk or what but I find it cute. Damn. I didn't bother to get away from this hug. Tsk. But I'm not saying that I like it.

"Just sleep Venice, no one will gonna hurt you, again."

"Thank you... Zaki." That last line left me speechless.

What the fuck? She thought I was Kinsley?! Seriously Venice?! Bigla akong nakaramdam ng kakaiba, mas higit pa ito sa inis lang and I don't know what to call that shit!

Bumigat na ang ulo niya at alam kong nakatulog na naman siya while hugging me. Dahan-dahan ko nalang siyang pinahiga sa kama. Inayos ko ang kumot niya at lumabas na ng kwarto. Hindi ko na pinatay ang ilaw dahil takot siya sa dilim.

Napahilamos ako ng mukha. She makes me feel random things I couldn't fathom.

What are you doing to me Venice Ithalia Watson? Cause I can't answer that question or I just don't wanna answer it because I'm afraid it's real.

Mali ito. Maling mali.

2 days later...

"Boss I'm going to cover you!" Tumango ako kay Duval na nasa kabilang side ng pader. We're in a mission here in L.A. At gustong gusto ko nang mahuli ang taong nasa likod nito. He'll surely pay for what he had done to my sister. Delgado mafia clan the clan who killed Bailey.
