The Dominant and the Submissive

13: Beginning of the Contract

"What's wrong?" tanong ni Alexander kay Ellie habang nakatingin dito. He noticed that she wipe away her tears kaya naman hindi nya maiwasang magtaka at magisip kung umiiyak ba ito. If she did cried, then why? What's the reason behind those tears? 

"What are you doing here?" tumalikod muli si Elizabeth sa lalaki at tiningala nya ang malaking buwan na nasa itim na kalangitan. She wanted to be alone, gusto nyang magisip lang sa oras na iyon at umiyak. But she cannot do that now dahil nandoon si Alexander. Ayaw na nya ulit na magpakita dito na umiiyak sya.

"I saw you coming this way so I followed you. What's going on?" takang tanong ni Alexander at gusto nya na sagutin sya ni Ellie. He is used to woman obeying his words, replying in his question faster than four o'clock. Ganon kasi ang gusto nya sa lahat nang mga naging submissive nya. Mga masusunurin but Ellie is far different from them.

"Nothing. Pwede bang bumalik ka na lang don?" Ellie's voice have cracked. Halatang lumuha sya at may iniindang negatibong emosyon.

"Not a chance." Saad ng binata saka siya lumapit kay Ellie. He stand next to her kaya naman na palingon sa kanya ang dalaga.

She really is beautiful. There's something bout her eyes na hindi kayang iwasan ni Alexander. Maybe it was Ellie's innocence, kindness, her love for her family or maybe her hopes...

"What's bothering you? Answer me." He lowered his voice so it sound a little comforting.

Makakailan ay nagsalita na si Ellie.

"I miss my parents..." Her small voice tells him everything. Everything except that she was insulted by his friends on that table.

Nagiisip si Ellie. Anim na bwan? Parang ang tagal naman ata non?  Pero hindi ba't lalo lang tatagal kung hindi ako papayag ngayon? Bakit kasi ako? Why is this happening to me? Bakit ngayon pang malapit na ako matapos ng college? She keep asking questions to herself. She have a lot of why. 

"Let's go back in the party." Ani Alexander at hinawakan nya ang kamay ni Ellie. Hindi nya sinusuyo ang mga nagdaan nyang babae. Who the hell are they to pursue? Iyan ang laging umiiral sa kanyang kokote kaya naman hindi nya maintindihan ang sarili kung bakit ganon na lang sya ka hooked kay Ellie.

Nagpatianod si Ellie kay Alexander until she come up with the biggest decision in her life. She stop on her tracks making Alexander stop from walking too. Lumingon ang binata sa babae na ngayon ay mukang may nagaganap na meeting de abanse sa kanyang utak.

He was expecting for complain, or she will demand to let go of her hands, don't touch her and stuffs but what left her mouth is way too different from what he expected.

"I agreed. Pumapayag na ako sa offer mo." Tumingin ng diretso si Elizabeth sa mata ni Alexander. Baka ang pagkagulat sa mukha ni Alex but it soon faded away dahil na palitan ito ng excitement.

"You mean you're agreeing to be my submissive?"
