Chapter 14
Jealous

"Guys, this is Dominic Polo Hernandez."

I felt like I can't feel my strength when I look in to his eyes. His eyes were beautiful that you can be drawn by looking in it, but at the same time gives you a glimpse of death. His eyes were like dagger that pierce in to mine. Hindi ko alam pero nangangatal yung binti ko and I am gasping for air.

"Some of you know him already," Lianna smiled.

Dominic averted his piercing gaze away from me to greet my friends with smile but after that binalik niya ulit yung matatalim niyang tingin sa'kin.

"Ang gwapo naman. Teka, by any chance, are you related to Hernandez Chain of Companies?" Lany asked.

Without uttering a word and averting his gaze from me, Dominic nods and smiled. Lany emitted a gasp of disbelief. Yung mga engineers rin na kasama namin ay hindi makapaniwala sa nabalitaan nila tungkol sa totoong pagkatao ni Dominic, even my colleagues are shocked; all they know is that Dominic is a major shareholder of our company. Only Nelson and Dana have no reaction 'cause both of them are half-asleep.

Hindi na ako nagulat tungkol sa buhay niya kasi alam ko naman 'yun, and I am bestfriend with his cousin. Iniwas ko yung mata ko kay Dominic kasi hindi ko kayang sabayan yung titig niya sa'kin. Parang pinapatay niya ako sa mga mata niya kahit wala naman akong kasalanan.

Nahihilo ako ng konti kanina pero ngayon para akong nahimasmasan ng konti. Dana touch my arms kaya tumingin ako sa kanya. She's now widely awake after minutes of shutting her eyes.

"What?"

"Hindi mo ba ako tatanungin na 'okay na ba ako?'" I rolled my eyes but still follow and ask her predicaments she's in.

"Okay ka na ba?" utong tanong ko.

Dana smiled crazily before answering. "Okay na ako. Buti na lang pinikit ko muna yung mga mata ko para mawala yung hilo ko," ngiting balita niya tapos tumingin sa'kin. "Party na ulit tayo sest!" excited na saad niya na parang hindi pa nakapagparty at lasing kanina. Nagsayaw na nga sila ni Jane sa dancefloor.

"Tss." I hissed but she just chuckled.

Tumingin si Dana sa paligid at gulat ng makita si Dominic na nakatayo sa harapan niya.

"Oh hi Domyong!" bati niya kay Dominic tapos humalakhak ng konti.

"Hello Ms. Mariano," bati din pabalik ni Dominic sa kanya.

"Are you here to fetch my friend? Hahaha she's now lasing!" Dana chuckled drunkily.

Ang bruha na'to! May kakayahan pang akong ipahiya at ilaglag e siya pa naman ang mas lasing sa'min. At ano naman yun kay Dominic? Tumawa naman si Lany at sumabad sa usapan nila ni Dominic.

"Dana girl! She's with Architect Lacsamana. They're perfect right?" Lany said in frisky.

Dana shrugged and laugh then turn her sides to face me. She ridiculously mocks me with her looks. Lumapit siya ng konti sa'kin.

"Ooooohhh. Perfect raw? May jowa na," she muttered near my ear.

Hinampas ko naman siya sa binti dahil sa inis. Lokong 'to! Dahan-dahan kong inangat yung ulo ko para tignan sina Lianna at Dominic. Lianna's hands are coiled on Dominic's arms. My forehead creased when I look onto it.. Tinignan ko ang mukha ni Lianna na animo'y ngayon ay ngiting-ngiti sa sinabi ni Lany. Nagugustuhan pa ng gelatin. Leche! Ampucha lang. I diverted my attention from Dominic to avoid his piercing gaze dahil hanggang ngayon nakatingin pa rin siya sa'kin. He still has this audacity to stare at me? Tss.
