Into You (Lausingco Series #8)

Chapter Thirty One

Chapter Thirty One

Tahimik kami pareho hanggang sa makarating sa mismong tapat ng bahay namin. I faced him to say my thank you but he pulled me again in my waist for a hug.

"Vini." I gapsed.

"I'm really tired, Emerald."

"Tired of what?"

"Everything." He even buried his face on my neck.

I licked my lips. Hinigpitan nya ang yakap sa akin.

"I should be mad but I can't. Mahal pa din kita, Emerald kahit na hindi mo naman ako mahal. Tatanggapin ko." He murmured.

I tapped his back.

"Vini," lumayo sya sa akin.

"I am totally whipped. Fuck me." Tumawa pa sya ng pagak. "Sige na, pumasok ka na sa loob."

Iniwan nya ako doon at lumapit sa sasakyan nyang nakaparada lang sa hindi kalayuan sa amin. Hindi ko napansin iyon kanina ah. Hinigpitan ko ang hawak sa plastic bag.

"Wait, Vini!"

Nilingon nya ako. I jogged my way to his, a fast car is approaching but Vini is faster enough to grabbed me.

Mariin nyang tinitigan iyong sasakyan bago bumaling sa akin.

"Are you hurt?"

"Uh, no. Okay lang."

"Sabi ko pumasok ka na sa loob diba."

"I wanted us to talk."

"Not now. May aasikasuhin lang ako. We'll talk, I promise."

I was expecting for him to kiss me on my lips but his lips landed on my cheeks. Hinatid nya uli ako sa tapat ng gate namin. I gave him a small smile but he made a face.

"Don't smile."

"Why? Is that bad? I thought we're okay?"

"Don't make me dragged you on my car and kidnapped you on my condo, baby girl. Don't make me."

But then, I smiled even more. Bumuga sya ng marahas na hangin at tumalikod na sa akin. I giggled and went inside our house with smile flastered on my lips.

Okay na ba kami? Oo diba?

After that night... days passed by again. But there is no sign of Vini anywhere. I was feeling lonely but hey, maybe he's just busy with some business. Ayoko nalang isipin na tungkol sa illegal business nya iyon.

Our small meeting ended. Nagpaalam na ako sa mga kasamahan ko. Wala akong schedule for today but I need to be present for our meeting.

"Bukas, bulacan for the fiesta, Emsi." Ani ng head namin.

"Yes, Ma'am. Copy."

Isa isa na kaming nagpaalam. Lumakad ako papunta sa mini office namin dito sa floor. Doon ko kasi iniwan iyong bag ko. I'm wearing my white blouse and black slacks with my white heels. Since may schedules ang dalawang kasama ko dito sa office ay mag isa lang ako doon ngayon.

Humahaba ang nguso ko habang binabasa ang bagong labas na article tungkol kay Rashie. She's really on hands when it comes on her duty. May ibang news na tungkol sa kanila naman ni Vini.

I still don't have news for Vini. Wala syang IG story and post. And his phone is out of coverage area. In the end, I decided to just ignore it.

Kinabukasan, tumulak kami nina Jet sa Bulacan para sa pagcoverage ng fiesta doon. Aabutin lang kami ng tanghali kaya pagkatapos ay agad kaming bumalik sa Star Music.
