Chapter 27

"You are under arrest..."

Napanganga ako dahil sa sinabi ni Apollo. Yes! The officer who handcuffed me was Apollo! How dare he! Hindi ko alam kung ano ang intensyon niya sa pagposas saakin pero ang alam ko lang, kailangan kong makawala mula sa pagkakaposas saakin dahil kailangan ako ng anak ko ngayon.

"What do you need, Apollo?" I asked with my monotone voice.

He licked his lower lip and put his hand on the headrest where I am sitting that's why I moved my head away from him.

"We need to talk."

"I don't want to!" Maski ako ay nagulat dahil sa isinigaw. Napakagat ako sa labi at nag-iwas ng tingin. "I-I mean just... not now."

"Why?"

Umangat ang aking paningin sakaniya at tiningnan siya ng masama. He just looked at me with I think, longing? I don't know... because he quickly looked away when I glanced at him.

"Sa tingin mo ba gano'n lang kadali saakin na kausapin ka? After how many years Apollo? Really?"

I saw how his adam apple went up and down. He looked at me with his usual dark eyes, iyon lang ang hindi nagbago sakaniya dahil lahat ay nagbago na.

"That's why we need to talk."

"Talk my ass. Just shut up and release me. Alisin mo na ang posas na ito. I need to go somewhere."

"Where?"

"It's none of your business."

He pushed himself closer to me so I move away again. Napalunok na lang ako nang hindi na ako nakaatras pa dahilan kung bakit mahinang tumama ang ulo ko sa bintana ng sasakyan.

He smirked. "You are my business."

"No, I'm not."

"Yes, you are."

"I said—" I groaned in frustration. "Oh! Fuck you!" I hissed.

His smirked widen. "Gladly."

Natutop ang bibig ko dahil sa napagtanto. The fuck! Did he just think about green things? Hindi iyon ang tinutukoy ko! 

"Back off!" I glared at him. "If you do not release me, I will call a cops."

He laughed. 

"I'm a cop," he caressed my cheek but I struggle. "...and how can you call a cop when you can't even get your phone?"

Napatigil ako. Shit, oo nga pala. Nakaposas nga pala ang mga kamay ko sa likod kaya hindi ko makukuha ang phone ko. At isa pa, nasa sasakyan ko ang phone at ibang gamit ko kaya wala akong matatawagan. 

I silently cursed. Did he plan these all?

Natigilan man ay sinamaan ko pa rin siya ng tingin. Hindi ako nagsalita at sandaling nag-isip ng plano, nang may mabuo ay agad akong napatingin sakaniya na pinapanood lang pala ako. 

"Okay, fine..."

He arched a brow. "What's fine?"

"I will talk to you, but— in one condition, you need to release me first."

"How can I be sure that you would not run away like you did on the bar?" tanong niya na tinutukoy ang unang pagkikita namin matapos ang ilang taon.

I smiled sweetly at him. "Trust me, Mr. Cop..."

"Well," he examined my face. "I trust you but I don't trust that smile so, let's go."

"Wait—what?!" Before I could disagree, he maneuvered the car.
