Chapter 19

Darius

I clenched my jaw. Ugh. Hindi ko nalang sana pinasama si Gin doon sa lalaking 'yun. I don't trust him.

and to add my suspicion, he looks familiar, oddly familiar..

I tried to call Gin, but she's not answering. Where the hell is she?

It's already lunch, where could she be?

Ughh kung malaman ko na nakikipaglandian lang siya sa lalaking yun. I swear.

I turned my head to look at Sylvester, he looks so grumpy, just like me.

I carried the cat getting a purr from him, and aside from painting, I also have a thing for cats.

"Tsk. Buti ka pa, walang ginagawa.." I muttered, earning a meow from Sylvester. Rubbing his fur I started to think about last night.

Grr..Curse my drinking.

Eh wala naman akong maalala, but I dreamt about something which, I also don't remember.

All I know is that I feel warmth, and sudden happiness.

Tsk. Nababaliw na yata ako.

I walked around in circles, my anxiety kicking in. Paano kung kinidnap si Gin? Omg!

Napahimas lang ako sa aking noo, probably napaparanoid lang ako but I can't help but worry.

Simula na rin nung kinidnap ako ni Adrian, hindi na ako pareha nung dati.

I'm not letting me ego get the best of me at kung baka mapahamak pa ako, or worse, yung pamilya ko.

I sat down the couch, calming myself. I grabbed some papers, to drown myself into some boring business matters.

God I hate this.

*****

An hour have passed, Gin is still not home and I'm starting to worry.

I closed my eyes thinking of something else, but suddenly, the doorbell rang.

I widened my eyes, it must be Gin.

Running towards the door and quickly opening it.

I froze, my uncle staring down at me. His eyes pierced to mine, which made me sweat furiously.

"T-Tito..."

*****

"Woooow! that was great.." Gin giggled, her voice rang to Andre's ears. It was still his greatest melody.

"Yeah...I like how they sing..their vocal chords are always shaking.." Andre chuckled, his hands both inside his pockets, afraid to hold Gin's.

There was a short silence, until Gin checked her cellphone. Her eyes were wide as saucers. She looked back at Andre, her eyes telling him that they should go home.

"I can't believe that it's been hours.." Andre said, not caring about Gin's pleading. And Gin was starting to get annoyed.

"Yeah..can't believe I missed 25 missed calls from Darius.." She remarked, clearly wanting Andre to know that she had to go home.

Andre still did'nt mind her remarks.

Minutes have passed and the sun is setting down, passing the curfew that was given to her.
