Freeya Knoxville's
Kumatok ako ng tatlong beses sa pinto ng mini library ni Tito Franco. Itong kwartong ito na rin ang nagsisilbing opisina niya kapag nandito siya sa mansion. Hindi pa ako dinadalaw ng antok kaya dito na muna ako dumiretso. I want to talk to him about what happened earlier. Wala kasi siyang kibo sa loob ng sasakyan habang pauwi kami. And it kinda bothers me.
"Tito Franco? Si Freeya ito, can I come in?" I speak out.
"Yes, princess. Bukas yan." Narinig kong sagot niya.
I opened the door at pumasok na. I saw Tito Franco sitting in front of his study table. Noon ko lang din napansin na may kasama pala siyang tatlong lalaki sa loob ng kwarto. They are all wearing black plain tshirts and black slacks. Malalaki ang pangangatawan nila. Parang katulad sila sa mga goons na napapanood ko sa movies.
Must be Tito Franco's bodyguards.
"Mamaya ko na kayo kakausapin. You can go now." Tito Franco informed in a formal tone.
Agad silang kumilos at tinungo ang pinto. I don't know why but I feel goosebumps when they passed beside me. May nakita akong bumubukol sa tagiliran nila.
Are those guns?
"What is it, Princess?"
Bumaling ako kay Tito Franco ng magsalita siya. "Tito Franco, who are they?"
"Just some of our men." Sabi niya at iminuwestra ang kamay niya na parang binabalewala ang sinabi niya. "Don't mind them. Anyway, why are you still up? It's already late, you should be sleep by now."
Bigla kong naalala ang sadya ko sa pagpunta sa kanya. Nakangusong naglakad ako papalapit sa likod niya. I encircled my arms around his neck.
"Tito Franco, are you mad at me?" Naglalambing na tanong ko sa kanya.
I felt him smiled. "Of course not, Princess. Bakit mo naman naisipang nagagalit ako sayo?"
"You were silent nung pauwi tayo. Naisip ko na baka ayaw mo sa bagong kaibigan ko."
I am referring to Lennox. Usually kasi ay tinatanong ako ni Tito Franco tungkol sa mga nagiging kaibigan ko. Katulad na lang kay Demi. He knows all about the De Fiores'—Demi's family. At isa pa, I don't know if it's just my imagination, pero parang may bad aura kasi akong nasense kanina nung magkaharap sila ni Lennox.
He sighed.
"Honestly, princess, gusto kong putulan ng mga kamay ang lalaking yun kanina. It took everything in me not to do that." I gasped when I heard what he said. Tito Franco's voice suddenly became firm and dangerous. Bumaling siya sakin at hinaplos ang pisngi ko. "He don't have any right to touch my princess' hand. Ni ang dulo ng hibla ng buhok mo. Hindi ka dapat nagpapahawak sa iba, princess. Hindi ko gusto iyon. Do you understand me?" Tanong niya habang matiim na nakamasid sakin.
I gulped as I nod at him. "Yes po."
"Do you happen to like that guy?"
Napayuko ako. "No, Tito Franco. I don't like him."
Because I love him.
He touched my chin and made me look at him in the eyes. "Oh, princess. You are still young, fragile and innocent. Nevertheless, I want you to stay like that forever. You don't know how cruel the world beneath you is. You need someone to protect you and pamper you. And that person is me. You do know that, don't you?" He gently asked me.
