The Possessive Psychopath

Chapter 18

I put too much attention on the dress I'm wearing. It's a yellow summer dress paired with white sandals. Naglagay na rin ako ng make up, in case na titigan ako ni Trevor. I checked myself in the mirror for one last time before going down. Doon ko nakitang naghihintay na si Trevor sa akin. He's wearing a plain white T-shirt and a jean. He's wearing a mask, sunglasses, and a black cap. Hindi ba mas nakaka attract ito ng atensiyon? Weird.

"Let's go," excited na sabi ko sa kanya at naunang lumabas.

"Where are we going, exactly?" Tanong ko rito at pumasok sa loob ng sasakyan. He's the one driving, so I'm not complaining.

"You promised you'll be quiet."

"Oopps, sorry," I closed my mouth. My belly fluttered from his voice. Hindi lang talaga ako makapaghintay kung saan kami pupunta. I should expect that we are not going to crowded places.

I saw him parked in front of a grocery store. I looked at him with a puzzled look.

"Anong ginagawa natin sa grocery store?"

"If you don't want to starve to death, we probably should buy something to eat,"

"We could order some take-outs, duh!"

"I am not a fan of takeout foods, Victoria. Move your ass right here at nang makaalis tayo agad." Lumabas siya sa kotse at kumuha ng cart. I rolled my eyes before following him.

Para akong batang nakasunod lang kay Trevor sa loob ng grocery store. Some people inside gave us so much attention. Baka kasi iniisip nilang magnanakaw itong kasama ko. Sino ba naman ang mag grogrocery ng naka mask, sunglasses, at cap? Grr.

As he started to push the cart through the aisle, I found myself grabbing everything I wanted on impulse including a lot of potato chips and different variety of candies.

"Make sure you can finish all of these, kid." I knotted my eyebrows. Did he really call me a kid? I don't know if he's just joking or just plainly making a statement.

"Hindi na ako bata," I muttered in disbelief. He pretended that he didn't hear me and just continue putting things on the cart. What a brute!

After an hour of traveling, his car entered the parking lot in the basement. Pinigilan ko ang sarili ko na hindi magtanong. Inside my mind, I am wondering why are we inside a five-star apartment. He grabbed all the things we bought earlier.

Pumasok siya sa elevator at tsaka ako sumunod. He clicked the P button using his free hand and just stood up there without giving me an explanation. After 5 minutes of being inside the elevator, we finally arrived at our destination.

"OMG, you owned a penthouse here in the city?" Hindi makapaniwalang sambit ko nang makapasok ako sa loob ng penthouse.

"I didn't know about this," sabi ko habang nilibot ang paningin ko sa buong lugar. I saw him put the groceries down.

"This is not only mine. We owned this place,"

"We? You mean my cousins and your group of friends?" I saw him nod. He must be talking about Alexander, Kalev, Nikos, Severus, and Raven. Binuhat niya muli ang mga gamit at dumiretso sa kusina. Why did he bring me here? Hmm. Now that's intriguing.

"We used this place to hang out whenever we're here. The rooms are upstairs but don't bother opening them, they are locked." Patakbo pa lang sana ako sa taas nang sabihin niya iyon. So, I've decided to tour myself on the first floor. There is a grand piano in the very far corner. The ceiling is too high probably 20 feet in height. The place is enormous, with six sofa sets, dazzling chandeliers on the ceiling, and two dining tables with 12 seats each. Nang makapasok ako sa loob ng kusina kung nasaan si Trevor ay doon ko nakita na mayroong malaking wine cellar kung saan nakalagay ang iba't ibang mga alak.
