Learning How To Love Again

In My Arms She's Safe

“Don't be too confident that your love ones are safe when the true rivals are still wandering around.”

Tahimik lang kami sa loob ng sasakyan so I used my time to get my phone and text Coleen and the two talkative to say sorry dahil di ako nagkaroon ng time na kausapin sila inside the venue.

"Hey? Are you sure you're fine? Ang tahimik mo kasi." Rinig ko ang pag-aalala sa kanyang boses.

"Ahm.. I'm just tired." I confessed.

"Do you want me to stay in your house tonight? Because I would love if you want me to." Lumingon lang ako sa kanya at nakita ko ang naka-side view niyang mukha. He's looking straight to the road. Ang gwapo niya parin kahit saang anggulo.

"Hey? You fine?" Tanong niya ulit.

"Ahm.. okay lang. I'm fine. Umuwi ka nalang after mo akong ihatid. Early ka pa bukas sa trabaho, ako rin." Ani ko at ngumiti ako sa kanya at nakita niya yun kasi saktong lumingon siya sa akin.

"Okay. At least I know you're fine." Sabi niya.

Tapos niyang sabihin nun ay kinuha ko ang earphones ko at nakinig ng music hanggang sa dinalaw ako ng antok at nakatulog.

LOUIS' POV

I'm really sure na napahiya siya kanina sa harap nila Mom and Dad because of Jasmine. I'm not going to let it happen again.
Not even letting Jasmine see Lalaine.

Now, in my worried state of mind, balak ko sanang pilitin siya na samahan buong gabi but hindi ko nagawa dahil tulog na siya.

I pulled over as we got in front of her house.
I hopped out from my car and studied her house. Nakapunta na ako dito but I've never seen this house as sad as what I saw tonight.

It's quiet, sad and gloomy. I don't know, I just find it that way or maybe nadala na rin ako sa pagiging worried sa kanya.

Maybe I should ask her na umalis na dito at doon na siya tumira sa mansion.

By the way, kailangan ko na siyang dalhin sa loob ng bahay niya para mas comfortable siya.

I opened the car's door then I studied her face. Her eyes, nose and lips are just so inviting. It's tempting me to kiss every inch of  her face.

When I was about to kiss her lips I heard something...inside her house?

It's a sound of something that fell in the floor.

What? May tao ba sa loob ng bahay niya?

Instead of waking her up, I carried her like she's my bride. I don't want to wake her up because I don't want her to be worried and sad again if ever something's happening inside her house.

When I'm already standing in her front door, I opened it since alam ko ang passcode nito and when I turned the lights on...

"Fuck!" I cussed. Kahit na medyo malakas ang pagkakasabi ko ay mahimbing parin ang tulog niya. Masyado yata siyang napagod sa mga nangyari ngayong araw.

I saw her things messing up everywhere inside her house.
Sino namang magnanakaw ang nakapasok dito?

I decided na ilagay na muna siya sa couch and when I did, I kissed her in her head and whispered, "I'll be right back."

I checked the whole place downstairs. In the kitchen, the utensils are everywhere. I also checked the bathroom but walang tao. I found out also that the back door was broken. I guess doon dumaan ang magnanakaw para makapasok.

I get back to the couch to check her and napakahimbing parin ng tulog niya. I went upstairs to see her room and there, nakakalat rin ang mga bagay doon.

I decided to get back downstairs and maybe we should get going away from here.

I looked for the emergency button para malaman ng mga guard ng subdivision ang nangyayari dito and immediately, nakita ko naman.

Kinuha ko siya ulit at lumabas na ng bahay and I put her back in the front seat and put the seatbelt in her then I tilted the seat para naman medyo nakahiga siya.

As I shut the door, tamang-tama naman ang dating ng dalawang guard.

"Good evening Sir." The guard that is taller than the other one.

"Someone plundered inside my girlfriend's house. I just want you to find out kung sino, by checking the CCTVs sa buong subdivision, if sino yung mga pumapasok at lumalabas dito sa subdivision today. I just want you to ensure the safety of everyone in this subdivision." I straightly said then I get inside the car to drive.

Now I decided to take her in the mansion kasi mas safe doon compared to those of my condos.

I knew already kung sino na naman ang gumawa nito sa kanya. I knew that it's Jasmine's.

That stupid woman is really crazy. I will never forgive her eccentricity.

The gorgeous streetlights that you can't see anywhere else in the city were my clue that I'm already entering the mansion's gate that is half kilometer away from the mansion itself.

It's my first time to bring her here and the first ever girlfriend of mine that I'd brought here.

Even though Jasmine was somehow got closed to my family she was never been here. I don't know, maybe fate controls.

By the way, I know Lainey will going to love this place because it is superb and gorgeous.

One of our maid opened the front door then greeted me.

I took her directly in one of the 8 rooms of the mansion, then ask the other maid to change Lainey's clothes into a comfortable one. Hindi kasi problema ang damit dito para sa kanya because she almost have the same body size with Lily.

After everything is done for her, I also prepared myself to sleep.
We deserve a comfortable sleep for a long long day.

From the party to the crimes happened in her house. I know she's not safe anymore but in my arms  she'll stay safe and I promise that.
