My Lover is the Son of a Mafia Leader

I stared in horror as I looked at my phone. I had 20 missed calls from Anthony and another 50 messages from him too. I got 30 messages from Alexavia, and I also have around 10 messages from Aoede and Tyrone. 

I was gone for a day and a half, and I didn't inform anyone regarding my whereabouts, so these messages are just an average number, right? I sighed.

I didn't go home straight to my condo unit since my place is still off-limits. I told Ivo na ihatid ako sa hotel because I'll meet my family but it's not true. The real reason I asked him to drop me by here is that I have nowhere else to go.

I can't go to my Uncle's house because I know for sure he'll just interrogate me and I'm sure as hell that Anthony would do the same if I stayed at his place. I can't answer them yet since I still need to formulate a good lie to them.

I could tell them the truth, hindi rin naman ako pinalaking sinungaling ni Uncle pero kung may alam si Sel sa mga rumors that are circulating about Ivo and his friends na kasama sila sa Mafia etc., I'm so sure that Uncle is aware of them too. And I'm also sure as hell that my Uncle wouldn't like it if I told him that I spent a day and a half with a complete stranger.

But to me... Ivo is not a stranger, sa tingin ko nga matagal na kaming magka-kilala. And I think he's my friend already. Sana lang he feels the same too about me. And I also hope that Ivo didn't see right through when I lied to him.

I still have 2 hrs before my class this afternoon. Ivo brought clothes with him para may pamalit kami, I smiled at the memory that happened this morning. He planned it all along. 

This morning was really fun and I hope Ivo and I will return as soon as possible.

I decided to turn off my cellphone again and decided not to reply to any missed calls and messages, I'll explain to my friends later when I meet them. Speaking of calls and messages, Ivo and I didn't exchange numbers.

Dapat ba na hiningi ko number nya bago sya umalis kanina? Pero would it be weird that a girl is asking a guy's number?

 Will he think I'm being too clingy if I ask his number? Hindi naman siguro, di' ba?I shooked my head at my own thoughts. 

I mean, there are some women out there who boldly ask a guy out or his number. So if I ask Ivo his number then it wouldn't look weird, right? Pero at the same time if he wanted to get my number ay dapat kanina nya pa hiningi bago sya umalis, di'ba?

Aba! Dapat sya humingi ng number ko kasi sya yung lalake, right? Si Tyrone nga, sya yung humingi ng number ko. Umismid ako sa takbo ng utak ko, If I can kick myself, I would. I hope I can openly ask Alexavia about this without her asking any questions in return pero knowing her, malabong mangyari iyon.

I wonder when will I see him again. I know where he lives, I could visit him. Wait.. did I visit Alexavia's house after a day of being friends? And why would I visit him? At bakit kailangan ako ang maunang bumisita? 

Dapat sya kasi sya ang lalake! Pero bakit nya naman ako bibisiatahin?

I pulled my hair. God, I hate this feeling. I'm acting crazy and I barely know the guy! "You know what Skyla, he'll see you when he wants to and you're overthinking too much", I muttered to myself.

Nagpahatid ako sa Uni using the hotel car service. I thought of not coming today but I missed all my morning classes already and if I missed my aftenoon classes too ay baka tawagan na ng office si Uncle. Ayoko ng dagdagan pa ang mga kasalanan ko ngayong araw na 'to. I also want to see Detective Michaels, I want to know more about the information he shared with me. No matter how dangerous it is.
