How to Date the Gangster

Chapter 13

Pyra Salazar

It's been three days since that nightmare dinner. I haven't seen my grandparents since then. From what I've heard, there's a new gang rising in the underground society that's been violating rules. I think that's why they've been so busy, being a head of one of the founding families can be exhausting.

I also started talking to Alexander after that night. I owe him a huge favor for accepting to be my 'pretend' boyfriend. It's not actually easy as it sounds, since my grandfather happened to know Miguel Arrington.

There would be eyes looking at us, one mistake and we're back to square one. In a span of three days, I'm starting to get fond of Alexander. I guess it's not a bad thing to let him in. I don't really know, I'm still not sure.

I've been so occupied with my major subjects, tons of readings and papers to do. Tambak na tambak na talaga ko sa gawain, and I think Liam's the same cause I haven't seen him for days! I guess hindi niya pa naririnig ang balita. He would be so pissed.

Since Matthew and I have the same course, we often see each other. He changed. He seems distant and cold. I wanted to talk to him about his grandfather, gusto ko sana kumustahin pero di ako makahanap ng tsempo.

My thoughts were interrupted when I heard the doorbell. Sunod sunod na doorbell to be exact. Padabog akong tumayo para pag buksan kung sino mang poncio pilato ang nasa pinto. The doorbell is still ringing. Fuck, ang aga aga pa.

"What the fucking hell, Pyra Salazar?" napapikit na lang ako nang marinig ko ang boses ni Liam. Mukhang di na siya busy ngayon.

He quickly went inside the house, he surely looks pissed. I kept my calm while walking towards Liam who was already sitting on the sofa waiting for me with his piercing judgemental eyes.

I quietly sat in front of him. Wala akong balak sabihin sa kanya kung ano ba talaga ang nangyari. He might make things more complicated than it already is. Baka sumugod pa to kala lolo para ipagtanggol ako, his impulsiveness will bring me trouble.

"I told you to stay away from the twins and now I'm finding out that you're with one of them?" he calmly said, yet his eyes were still the same. I rolled my eyes at him, I really don't like his judgemental looks.

"I can handle myself, Liam. Stop being overprotective." I hissed at him. Alexander is kind, why is he acting like that?

"I am not being overprotective. I'm being cautious!" He said while massaging the back of his neck.

"We are gangsters, Liam. Caution is not in our vocabulary!" I snapped at him.

I'm getting pissed as well. He came all this way to judge me as if he knew what really happened. He can really get into my nerves sometimes.

He brushed through his hair with his hands as he stared right at me. I can see him losing his patience as well. We rarely fight, this is one of those rare times.
