POTION ✔

Chapter 8: Strong Demands

Strong Demands

Arriana's POV

It's another weekend but I decided to just stay at my own house than go home. Jaxxon knew that adress already so it's not a safe place anymore.

Mataas ang tirik ng araw sa labas ngunit madilim ang loob ng bahay ko dahil nakasara ang lahat ng pinto at bintana. Mahirap na. Naniniguro lang. I eyed the bouquet of flowers that has been sitting above my bed side table for two days now. I don't know what to do with the flowers and I'm also afraid to throw it out. Jaxxon would kill me if he learned I threw the flowers he gave me.

Ano ba kasi ang gulong pinasok ko? Tinawagan ko na din si Vanilla upang humingi ng payo pero ang magaling kong kapatid ay sinigawan lang ako at pinagalitan. Hindi lang 'yun. Tinawag din ako nitong shunga. According to her, she still love her life so she'd rather stay away from my problem. Nakaka-asar talaga ang babaeng iyon kahit kelan.

"Hay Alexis, kung ikaw lang sana ang naka-inom ng potion ay wala sana akong problema ngayon." Sambit ko na ang kinaka-usap ay ang human sized standee ni Alexis King.

Napabalikwas naman ako sa kama nang magring ang doorbell. Pababa palang ako nang magribg ulit ito.

"Saglit lang. Hindi naman makapaghintay, pababa na nga ang tao eh." Singhal ko nang paulit-ulit na tumunog ang doorbell. Hindi na ako magugulat kung masira ang doorbell ko sa paulit-ulit na pagpindot ng sino mang nasa labas ng bahay ko.

"Ano ba?!" Sigaw ko nang buksan ko ang pinto. "Sisirain mo ba iyang doorbell-"

Humina ang boses ko nang magtama ang paningin namin ni Jaxxon.

"What took you so long to open the door?" He asked out of patience, eyes studying me like a f*cking detective. He smoked his cigarette one last time and throw it on the floor and stepped on it.

He was wearing his typical clothes, all in black while his big bike was parked just behind him.

"I-uh... I was... uhmmm... Damn!" As a reflex, I was going slam the door in his face but he managed to stop it. He was clearly stronger than me anyway.
"F*ck!"

Closing my eyes, I pinched the bridge of my nose. Hindi ko na mabilig kung ilang beses akong nagmura sa harapan nito.

"You really are amusing." He smirked when I thought he was going to scream at me from trying to close the door.

Mahirap na kapag ito ang nagalit. Mapunta na sayo lahat ng malas basta wag mo lang gagalitan ang isang Jaxxon Sparrow.

"Hindi mo ba ako papapasukin sa bahay mo?"

Natauhan ako bigla nang magsalita ulit ito. "No. Don't ever come in my house again." I blurted out and covered my filthy mouth when I realize what I just said.

"Care to repeat what you just said?"

"I mean, of course come in!" Binigyan ko ito ng napipilitang ngiti at gumilid upagng bigyan ito ng daan papasok ng bahay ko.
Kahit kinakabahan ay sumunod ako dito sa sala. Nakatuon ang atensyon nito sa mga bulaklak na nasa center table.

"You still have them." He spoke.

"Y-yes."

Jaxxon smirked and sat comfortably at my sofa while his eyes roamed around the house until his gaze focused on me. "Sit."
Umupo ako sa kabilang sofa pero tumayo din agad dahil hindi ko talaga kayang kaharap ito ng matagal. "K-kukuha lang ako ng maiinom."

Hindi ko na hinintay ang sagot nito at agad na nagtungo sa kusina. Naghanap agad ako ng kutsiyo at itinago ito sa waistband ng jogging pants ko. Mas maganda nang maging handa. I don't know what Jaxxon is planning but whatever happens at least I have something to defend myself.
