The Dominant and the Submissive

12: Degraded and Insulted

By 9:13 in the evening, Alexander's Pagani Huayra BC stopped in front of his Auntie's huge mansion. He didn't bother bringing it in the garage cause he know it's safe along with other branded cars, and he didn't want to trouble himself mamaya pagpaalis na sila.

Hindi nya kasama ngayon ang kanyang personal butler and assistant na si Mr. Juaqin. He's been with him since he was just a teen and he treated the old man like his own father. He have a great respect for him dahil tumanda na sya't lahat lahat ay nanatili padin syang tapat sa mga Thansley, lalo na kay Alexander.

Alexander hopped out of his car. He went on the other side and open the door for Elizabeth.

"Let's go." Alexander said.

Ellie hesitated at first. Pero ano pang magagawa nya, nandon na sila. Their ride was in an awkward silent. Pero napapaisip si Ellie kung sa both parties iyon o siya lang talaga ang naiilang. Alexander don't seem to be bothered sa halik na pinagsaluhan nila. Habang si Ellie, tuwing naaalala iyon ay pakiramdam nya'y sinisilaban ang kanyang pisngi.

"Are you going out or am gonna sweep you off your feet?"

Hindi namalayan ni Ellie na kakaisip nya ay hindi pa pala sya nakakalabas ng sasakyan. Kaya naman utal-utal nyang sinabing, "n-no. I'm g-going out by myself." Nang lumabas na sya ay sinara ni Alexander ang kanyang sasakyan.

Habang naglalakad sila ay sinigurado ni Ellie na may sapat na distansya silang dalawa dahil pakiramdam nya ay nakakaintimidate talaga si Alexander. But he have other point of view dahil idinikit nya ang katawan ni Ellie sa kanya by pulling her close next to him.

"What are you doing?" Nagpapanic na tanong ni Ellie habang tumitingin sa masculine na kamay ni Alexander na mahigpit na nakakapit sa kanyang baywang.

"I'm doing this to tell the whole guy in this place that you are off limit." Sagot naman ni Alexander.

The conversation fell dead hindi dahil sa boring ito, but because Ellie don't know what to say after hearing those.

They headed to the old couple na nakaupo sa pinaka magarbong table. Pagkakita na pagkakita pa lamang ng tiyahin nya kay Alexander ay malaking sumilay ang ngiti sa kanyang labi.

"Alexander, hijo!" His Aunt greeted. Ngayon lang kasi dumalo si Alexander sa annual wedding anniversary ng tiyahin.

"Happy 35th wedding anniversary, Auntie and Uncle. Hope you like my little gift. Just a set of jewelries made from coral that symbolizes the traditional stone for this special event." He said as he offer the small box.

"Oh, hijo! You really is a sweet guy. Who is she?" Tanong ng kanyang tiyahin nang makita si Ellie.

"Her name is Elizabeth, my girlfriend. Elizabeth, she's my Aunt Madison and Uncle Logan." Ipinakilala ni Alexander si Ellie sa kapatid ng kanyang ina na si Madison at kanyang asawa.

Nagulat si Ellie kung papaanong pinakilala sya ni Alexander bilang kanyang girlfriend. Makalipas ang ilang segundong pagkagulat ay humarap sya ng matuwid sa mag-asawa.
