Toxic

"Yes, she's with me. I'll handle her myself- no. I won't okay. Okay. Bye." she heard him say those words when she open her eyes. Her eyes sting and she only realized that her vision is blurred, wala nga pala siyang suot na salamin.

Her plan to get up stops when she feel something cold and hard was tied up on her both wrist. She have no glasses but she can sense that it's dark in her room and that only makes her scares more. She wiggles her hands but it's no use.

She was about to scream for help when she hear light footstep and sense someone opened the door. She closed her eyes at the sudden light. Halos naluha pa siya ng magmulat ng mata, her eyes sting without her glasses.

"P-Pierce?" she asked when she saw someone shadow in her front. The bed creaks tanda na may sumampa dito, that scares her so she desperately tries to get out her hands from being tied. She knew she was handcuffed.

"Pierce, please remove it on me." she beg. She saw his shadow lean on her face at sa nanlalabong paningin ay nakumpirma niyang si Pierce nga ito. He caress her face and she flinch at his touch, inilag niya ang mukha dito pero marahan nitong hinawakan ang baba niya para mapanatili sa pwesto. His forehead rest on her cheeks and it involuntarily blushed. She was pissed on herself for blushing at her situation.

"Kung sumunod ka lang sa akin. Hindi sana mangyayari sayo to." bulong sa kanya nito, his hands touch her arm and she flinch at the contact. His touch heading upward.

"P-Pierce what are you doing?" kinakabahan niyang tanong sa ginagawa nito. It gives her goosebumps. Pataas ng pataas ang haplos nito, hanggang sa umabot sa kamay niya. She heard something clank hanggang sa maalis na ang kamay niya sa pagkaka posas, ganun din ang ginawa nito sa kaliwang kamay niya.

Inalalayan siya nito hanggang sa maka-upo siya. Ito na ang nagsuot ang salamin sa kanya. He may be a ruthless killer but one thing is for sure,

He wont hurt her.

"Thank you." she muttered softly. Kinailangan niya pang tingalain ito sa tangkad. When she saw him, he was just staring at her. His gaze was soft and it almost melt her. He sighed heavily and drifted his gaze at her wrist.

He grabbed her hands and massage it. She stared at him boldly at his action. Alam niyang alam nito ang pagtitig niya dito. His face is red at pakibot- kibot ang labi nito. Her lips twitched.

"What are you doing to me?" she heard him whisper, tila ba ayaw talaga nitong iparinig sa kanya iyon.

Nanatili lang itong naka yuko at naka-tingin sa pulso niya kaya hindi nito nakita ang pag ngiti niya.

So it's not only her, huh? The feeling is mutual?

She may be innocent at some things but she knows this things. So, she can affect him the way he can affect her. She blushed at the thought. Napa nguso pa siya ng may na- realize. Tinakot lang siya nito ng magising ng nakatali?

Bad.

"I-It hurts.." ungot niya dito. She saw him closed his eyes and sighed heavily, she hear him grunt and face her.

"You should do what I say, next time." naka simangot pa ito habang hinihilot parin ang nanakit na kamay niya. Namumula na ang kamay niya kahihilot and it frustrate him even more.

"I won't." she said at parang batang sinilip ang reaksyon nito. Tumigil ito sa ginagawa at ibinalik ang titig sa kanya. His lips twitched at her stubbornness.

"Still, you can't stop me from killing, kitten." ani nito, tinitimbang ang magiging reaksyon niya.

"And you can't stop me from stopping you." ungot naman niya. Dahan- dahan niyang inalis ang pagkaka hawak nito sa kamay niya.
