My Boss' Fling and First Love (On Edit)

Chapter 21 - In Danger

Jai's POV

I WAS SMILING while packing my things. Everything that happened still haven't process enough inside my mind to make me believe that all of it were really true. Hindi pa rin talaga ako makapaniwala sa mga inamin kahapon ni Drake.

I closed the zipper of my bag. I smiled more wide. Oh hell, I'm his first love! Nakakatawa na naisip kong karibal ko mismo ang sarili ko.

Kung hindi ko kaya siya iniwan, masasabi niya din kaya 'tong mga bagay na 'to? But I don't want to think any of those ever again. What important is, I'm happy now, we're both happy. Hindi na kakailanganin ng anak ko na lumaking walang ama.

I wipe my tears away. Nahawak ko ang tiyan ko at mas napangiti na lang. I never expected that I will be this happy again.

Drake went back in his mansion yesterday. Sinabi niyang babalikan niya ako ngayon para sunduin at doon na tumira sa mansion. I said yes even I fell inlove more with my apartment.

Saglit akong natawa sa naisip, mas mahal ko nga naman si Drake kaysa sa apartment na 'to and now that God gave me another chance to be with him again, I won't waste it, and I won't leave him again.

Bumaba ako ng hagdan hawak ang sangkatutak kong gamit. I brought every things in here that is important to me, even my speaker of course. I don't want to buy a new one, these were the things that witnesses everything in my life anyway, and I love them so much so I won't throw them away.

Yung ibang gamit na maiiwan ko ay ibibigay ko na lang sa kung sino mang susunod na uupa nitong apartment. I sighed, thinking that my apartment will be occupied by who knows who, makes me sad somehow, but yeah, I'll accept it.

Umupo ako sa couch at pinagmasdan ang apartment ko. I'll surely miss this place so I'll stare every parts of it while I'm still here. Muntikan pa akong mapatili nang tumunog ang phone ko. My lips curved into a smile as I saw Drake's handsome profile and number appearing at my phone's screen.

"Hi," he said making my smile go wider. Crazy, just hearing his voice makes me giddy!

"Hi," sabi ko din. H.ck, this is new. Why I feel like I'm a teenager talking to her crush? I'm a mother now for what the hell's sake, and d.mn it, I'm talking with the person I love, not just a crush!

I heard him laughed that's why I bit my lower lip to stop myself from laughing too. Sa simpleng hi lang nagkakaganito na ako. Oh hell, Drake is really a big impact to me. Kahit ata ang baby namin ay kinikilig.

I widely smiled while caressing my tummy which was growing big. Pwede ko nang masabi na anak namin 'to, kaysa sa anak ko lang. Tears of joy were forming at the corner of my eyes again and I really hate to be this emotional sometimes, jeez.

"Okay, sweetheart. I'll tell you something, and I'm hoping that you'll not be angry," he softly said. Naiimagine ko pa ngang nakagat niya ang pang-ibabang labi niya habang iniikot ang swivel chair niya.

I think I blush beacuse of imagining him that way. My boyfriend is really handsome. Wait, is Drake even my boyfriend? Wait, we don't have any label! Pero hindi naman ata namin kailangan 'yon, we don't mind not having it anyway.

"It's okay, what is it?" I asked wiping my tears away. Narinig ko siyang bumuntong hininga na nagpakunot sa noo ko.

"Is something wrong? You can tell me whatever it is, I'll help you if I could."

"D.mn Jai, lalo lang kitang minamahal 'pag nag-aalala ka."

I choked, surprised for what he just said. Namula pa nga ata lalo ang pisngi ko na sinabayan pa ng pagwawala ng puso ko. Drake's really driving me crazy.

"I love you too," sabi ko na ikinatawa niya. Kinikilig din kaya siya kagaya ko? Wait, kinikilig? That's corny but I have no choice but to admit that it is what I'm feeling right now. Gosh, I'm kinikilig!

"Alright, enough for this cheesy moment. I called to tell you na baka mamaya pa kita masundo. I have an annoying yet important meeting to attend, and it can't be cancelled even I want to."

I laughed, ignoring my sudden change of mood, from being excited to okay-I'll-wait-patiently-no-matter-how-long-it-takes mood.

Kailangan kong intindihin si Drake, he's the CEO. Hindi naman pwedeng bumagsak ang kompanya nila dahil sa 'kin. Ayoko ding matulad ang kompanya ni Drake sa kompanya nina Amixel. Oh wait. What did happened to Amixel by the way? Thinking about her gives me goosebumps.

"I-it's fine–," I said stuttering but he cut me by his words.

"Hey, what made your voice cracked? Is there something bothering you?"

"I don't know but I'm curious for what had happened to Amix—" I stopped when an unclear sound interrupted in Drake's line. Maybe, it's his secretary's heels and voice.

"Sorry, sweetheart, but I need to end the call. We'll talk about that later. Just wait me there, okay? I'll be there as fast as I could. I love you."

Napatango na lang ako kahit na alam kong hindi naman niya 'yon nakikita. I said I love you also before hanging up the call. Napahinga ako nang malalim at sumandal sa kinauupuan ko.

Kailangan ko bang matuwa dahil makakasama ko pa nang mas matagal ang apartment ko? O matakot sa mga naiisip kong pwedeng magawa na naman ni Amixel kapag nalaman niyang nagkabalikan na kami ni Drake?

But she'll never know it, right? She don't have to. Baka naman narealize niya nang mali ang mga ginagawa niya, na baka nagdesisyon na siyang tigilan ako dahil alam niyang wala namang mangayayari sa mga ginagawa niya.

I bit my lower lip to stop myself from worrying too much. I sighed, gan'on na lang nga ang iisipin ko.

SOMEONE knocking at my door woke me up. Napaupo ako at nag-unat pa. I looked at my door as the idea comes up in my mind. That might be Drake!

Tumayo ako at tinignan muna kung may muta ba ako. My breath is not really fragrant this time but I know Drake won't give a care to it at all. Hindi ko namalayang nakatulog pala ako kahihintay.

I was smiling before and after opening the door, but my smile quickly disappeared and my whole body froze. It's not Drake. It's Amixel, sh.t, this can't be happening.

"Hindi ba't binalaan na kitang layuan si Drake, Jai? You're really stubborn, aren't you?" She smirked making my knees tremble.

Nakakatakot. Gusto kong ibalik uli ang tapang ko pero hindi ko alam kung papaano ko muling magagawa 'yon. I want to close my door and call Drake as fast as possible, but I think that was not a good plan.

Siguradong hindi ako magtatagumpay na gawin 'yon, lalo na't may kasamang mga lalaki si Amixel. They are really muscular and looks as scary as a monster.

"Please, Amixel. Just leave," I begged. Mas lalo akong kinabahan nang nakakakilabot siyang tumawa at humakbang palapit sa 'kin.

I moved backwards but she pulled my hair making me yelped in sudden pain. Is my hair her favorite? Ouch! What the hell?!

"Masyado kang baliw para utusan ako," she creepily whispered at my ear.

I could feel the fear forming inside me but I tore it away. I want to be at least brave now, hindi ako papayag na masaktan na naman niya 'ko uli.

"If there's crazy between us, then that's you—" I stopped, absorbing the pain given by the syringe she just injected in my neck.

They put a sack at my head bringing my surroundings in dark. Kasabay ng pagbagsak ko ay ang pagtulo din ng luha ko. I could feel my eyes getting heavy.

Drake.. where are you?
