BS2: Chained by the Billionaire (On Hiatus)

Chapter 12

Kanin, Iana?! Nakalimutan ko! Oh heck, that's just embarrasing!

"Can you be careful next time?" Ansel suddenly said after some moments of silence.

Tumikhim ako dahil dama ko ang mabilis na pagpintig ng puso ko. He was busying himself in applying ice compression on my foot after blurting that question.

"Hindi ko sinadyang matisod kaya ako nagkasprain. Sinong matinong tao ang gagawa non? A co-model tripped me, okay?"

"Drop the name," he muttered coldly. I hinted venom in his voice.

Umiling ako. "You know what's funny? The model I'm pertaining to likes you... A LOT."

Ansel ignored what I said. He shook his head and continued. "Sabihin mo sa'kin kung inulit niya."

"Or what? Baka kapag kinausap mo, lalong didikit sa'yo," irap ko.

Ansel stopped and looked at me. He pursed his lips when he saw my annoyed face. Nailing na lang siya at hindi na nagsalita.

Napangiwi ako nang tumunog ang tiyan ko. Nang tignan ko si Ansel ay masama ang tingin niya sa'kin. O bakit na naman?! His eyes were already glaring at me like I sinned big time!

"Kumain ka ng lunch mo?" There was a deep frown on his face.

"Hindi," matamang sagot ko. Totoo naman kasi.

Napatingala si Ansel. His jaw clenched.

"Hoy ikaw din naman ah! Hindi ka rin kumain ng breakfast mo!" Or kumain? Kasi pinaghanda siya nung babae niya?

"That's another story. We're talking about you," he said seriously.

"Ansel!" Inabot ko siya ng hampas nang pisilin niya ang hinlalaki ko sa paa. Sinadya niya 'yon! Nanggigil ata? And he doesn't even look guilty at all!

"Ansel. Iana. Handa na ang pagkain," Manang Inday called. Nakita ko ang malokong ngiti sa labi niya nang madatnan niya kami ni Ansel sa kasalukuyang posisyon namin. Pati si Helena na kararating ay napatikom ng bibig at mukhang kinikilig. The heck?!

"Coming, Manang," saad ni Ansel.

Tumayo siya. I was about to lift body up so I can be seated. But my eyes widened when Ansel suddenly held my back and locked his other hand behind my knees.

"Gagi ka! Baba mo 'ko! Kaya kong tumayo Ansel!" I panicked when he carried me like I weighed a piece of paper.

I wiggled but he held me tighter. He didn't even budge!

"Tigil kundi ibabagsak kita," Ansel warned.

I glared at him and held on his polo. Napayuko ako dahil nung bibigyan ko sana siya ng masamang tingin ay naabutan ko siyang nakatitig sa akin. Halos malusaw ako sa paraan ng pagtitig niya! Damn this man!

I kept my mouth shut until we reached the dining. And I couldn't help but curse Ansel at the back of my mind for smelling so good. Nakaka-addict ang amoy niya kaya gusto ko tuloy siyang layuan!

Napalunok ako nang maingat niya akong binaba sa upuan.

"Parang kanina lang sumisigaw ka, Ma'am. Ngayon ang tamis na!" Helena teased us.

Siguradong hindi maipinta ang mukha ko ngayon. "Helena, epal ka," Manang Inday told her.

Suminghap si Helena at napahawak sa dibdib niya. "Manang Inday naman!"
