Run, Zhian (EL VICENTE SERIES #2) COMPLETED

Kabanata 28

"Hindi ka ba aalis?" I raised my eyebrow as I grabbed my towel from a cabinet.

He sat on my bed. Him inside my room, sitting on my bed as he unbutton his shirt sent different vision in my head. Hindi ako komportable doon pero hindi matanggal tanggal ang titig ko sa kaniyang malapad na likod.

He glanced back at me. "I'll leave to check that perverted asshole."

Bumuntong hininga ako. "Then, leave. Maliligo ako."

He lazily rolled his eyes. "I'll receive your meal."

After our argument, humiwalay ako sa kaniya at ginawang dahilan ang pag-order ng dinner kahit hindi ako gutom. I ordered for myself because I got mad with the thought of me bringing foods for him again. Bahala siya, he's not my obligation anyway.

"Kaya kong gawin 'yan. Umalis ka na." taboy ko.

Funny how I'm the one shooing him away now.

Sinamaan niya ako ng tingin. "Do you really want seducing people?"

"What?" bulalas ko.

He sighed and removed his polo now. Kumunot ang noo ko at naalarma sa ginagawa niya.

"Hey! Hey! Why are you undressing?"

"Mainit." tumayo siya at hinilot ang batok. "Go ahead and shower, Zhianela. Stop staring at me."

With that, I immediately went inside the bathroom. Kinapa ko ang dibdib ko nang makapasok ako. The strong beating of my heart was felt. Tulala akong nakatitig sa rumaragasang tubig sa katawan ko. I'm tipsy, dang it.

Should I be glad that this is happening? I should, right? Why am I nervous, then?

Bente minuto ang tinagal ko sa bathroom. Nagmadali talaga ako. I wore my white robe and fixed my hair before heading out just to get my underwears. Nadatnan ko si Dylan na nakaupo sa kama at wala pa ding pang-itaas na damit.

They foods were on the table, fixed properly. Mapait ko iyong iniwasan ng tingin dahil sa ala ala kanina. Pumasok muli ako sa banyo para magbihis.

"I ordered for my dinner, too. Dito ako magdidinner." he started when I went out.

I was seating on the other edge of the bed with my blower.

Iritado ko siyang nilingon. He was glancing at me, too, watching me drying my hair. Maingat ang mga mata sa akin na nakakapanibago dahil kung tignan niya ako sa nakaraang mga araw ay tinutupok ako lagi ng galit niya.

"Who says I want to eat with you?"

"You wanted a dinner. I'm just providing what you want.." rinig ko ang kaunting panunuya sa boses niya.

I paused a bit. Oh, I even forgot about that!

"Hindi ko naman sinabing ngayon 'yon! Tsaka na tayo magdinner!"

I heard him sigh. "Then we'll have another dinner on the date you want, Zhianela."

Oh, akala ko ba ayaw niya? I thought he's playing hard to get? What is this? I suddenly want to fire him those but I choose not to. Baka bawiin at magpapakahirap pa akong suyuin siya.

Naupo ako sa silya nang matapos akong magpatuyo ng buhok. He stood and sat in front of me like he was only waiting for me to seat before he seat, too. Nagkatinginan kami. He ordered a lot than I did. Hindi ako gutom pero nang makita ko ang mga pagkain na nakahain ay nagutom ako.

He placed a chicken leg on my plate. Siya din ang naglagay ng kanin. Iritado ako dahil doon pero wala na ding nagawa.

"So what did your bodyguards do to John?" I sipped on my water he poured.
