A Royal Contract (Royal Series #1)

"Can we visit her?" I asked him. 

"Tomorrow na, love." he kissed my forehead. "You're tired, ako rin," 

I sighed as I nodded, well, wala naman akong magagawa, "Kumusta sya?" nauna syang tumayo saka nilahad ang kamay nito sa akin. 

"I don't know," he still lend his hand on me so I accepted his hand. 

"Maliligo lang ako, you should rest or continue, depende sa'yo," tinanguan ko lang sya saka naupo sa may isang gilid ng boxing ring saka pumikit sandali. Nagpahinga ako habang iniisip kung sinong lalaki yung nakatapatan ko ng baril, masyado nyang kilala ang pamilya ko, pati ang Lolo ko kilalang-kilala nya. 

"Sino ba sya?" 

"You'll know," dahan-dahan akong nagmulat at nakita ko ang Lolo ko. "Kanina ka pa po?" umiling sya saka pumasok sa boxing ring at inaya ako roon. 

"Show me what you got," he should've hit me, but he stopped me with one hand even though I was looking at the side of the boxing ring. "Let's do this in three ways," he continued punching me forward as I dogde it all, I grinned as I defended Grandpa's punches. 

"My turn," then I smiled.

I threw punches as he stopped me with his hands but we still continue, "Focus," 

I used my non-dominant hand to punch straight ahead to my Lolo, he almost lost his balance when I used a jab on him, using my dominant hand, I ran towards him and then punched him in the neck. Then, I stepped backward to knock him down and punched him in the stomach. 

He got on his knees then I ran towards him then I put both my legs on his neck until he gave up while hitting the floor of the boxing ring.

"Sorry, Lolo," I bit my lower lip.  "Did your Mom taught you that?" tanong nya na parang hindi pa naniniwala, 

"Opo, noong eight years old ako," I chuckled.

"Woah," napalingon kami pareho kay Chance na tapos nang maligo, "Kumain na  kayo?" umiling si Lolo sa tanong ni Chance sa kanya. Tinanguan ako ni Lolo saka nagpaalam at may pupuntahan pa raw sya. 

"You always seized to amaze me," pinagdikit nya ang mga noo namin. Na-conscious ako ng maamoy ko sya, kaya lumayo ako at umiwas ng tingin sa kanya. 

"Bakit?" 

"Ang baho ko na," 

Tumingin ako sa kanya napakunot ang noo nya saka lumapit sa akin. I stilled as he sniffed my neck! Oh god?! "Hindi naman, mas amoy ko yung pabango mo," he said seriously. 

"Okay," I chuckled. 

Dumiretso akong kusina para uminom ng tubig saka naupo rin doon para magpahinga sumandale. "Let's rest,"
