Chapter 41: We will

Brix stood there and looked down at me as if I was just some pathetic shit on his way.

"W-what did you just say?" I asked, fists balled up.

He let out a heavy sigh as he said, "I thought tears could blur your eye sights and not your eardrums. Uhm. I must be missing something here."

I nodded.

Tinulungan ko ang sariling makatayo. Pinagpagan ko ang dumikit na dumi sa akin bago bumaling kay Brix. Seryoso pa rin ang tingin niya sa akin. Gustong-gusto kong magbago 'yon. Gusto kong alisin ang pagkakaseryoso ng kanyang mukha.

"First Evan and now, Celeste..." He shook his head. "Ilang paalala pa ba ang dapat na sabihin sa 'yo para matuto ka? You will continue to hurt yourself if you keep doing that."

"Why did you come back?" I asked instead.

He just shrugged his shoulders.

"You looked just came back." Pinasadahan ko ng tingin ang kanyang maruming damit. May mga mantya rin ng dugo. "Hindi ba dapat ay kay Lord Severo ang bagsak mo? Para mag report sa kanya? Come on, Brix. Lord Severo wants to hear some good news from his underdog."

Umigpit ang kanyang tingin dahil sa sinabi ko pero hindi ako nagpakita ng ano mang pagkabahala. I've had the worst. Nasira ko ang sarili ko kina Celeste at Oscar at maging ang pinsan ko ay muntik nang mapamahak dahil sa akin. Those glares from him won't work anymore.

"Watch your words," he said in a deep voice.

Ngumiti ako bago lumapit sa kanya. Pinasadahan ko ng kamay ang kanyang dibdib habang nakatingin sa kanya mga mata. Kung kanina ay walang emosyon ang kanyang mga mata, ngayon ay bakas ang pagkainsulto roon.

"Are you staying here tonight, Master Brix?" I asked in a seductive voice. "Kung gano'n ay hindi ko alam kung sino ang uunahin kong patulugin sa inyong dalawa ni Lord Severo. Should I take you first? Ah. Of course. You hate it when someone takes the first spot."

Magaspang na hinawakan niya ang kamay kong nakahawak sa kanyang dibdib at pabagsak na nilayo sa akin.

"Watch your words," he threatened me.

"Aren't you going to thank me?" I asked.

Nagsalubong ang kanyang mga makapal na kilay. Oh no. My master is getting more annoyed. Let's push it more.

"Ako ang magiging daan para makuha mo ang gusto mo," saad ko habang nakatingin sa kanyang mga mata. "If you still think I am just a poor thing in your world, think again. Kahit na alipin ang tingin mo sa akin, hindi mo maipagkakaila na kung wala ako ay mahihirapan ka. Stop acting like I owe you everything, Master Brix. It's disgusting how you take credits from everything."

I was about to turn my back when he grabbed my hand and pulled me closer to him. Pinaragasa niya ang kanyang kamay sa bewang ko at mas dinikit ang katawan ko sa kanya.

"Why do I find you attractive all of a sudden?" he whispered.

My jaw literally dropped. What the fuck?

"Why do I find it attractive how you talk back to me?" he asked again. Mas lalong dumilim ang tingin niya sa akin. "No one ever talked to me like that and those who did get the most crucial ending. Aren't you scared of me?"

"Why?" I asked.

"I killed an entire clan. I betrayed my friends. I disappointed a lot of members of mine. I killed your friend and I'll kill more if I won't get what I want."

He stopped talking so I think it's my turn. "Is that all?"

Mas humigpit ang pagkakahawak niya sa bewang ko.
