Chapter 14: painful

you just want attention, you don't my heart

Patricia

I expected Terence to go already, but he's still standing in front of me. He felt someone's presence, I know that. Kaya siguro hindi pa siya–

"Patricia.." ang baritonong boses na iyan ang pumukaw sa atensyon ko. And a soft gasp left my lips when a strong hand made its way around my waist.

Nanuot agad sa ilong ko ang mabangong amoy ni Axel. Terence smell fresh, and Axel does too.

Terence shifted on where he's standing. At nakagat ko ang pang-ibabang labi ko nang makitang bumaba ang tingin niya sa kamay ni Axel na nasa baywang ko. Kaya naman sinubukan ko itong tanggalin. But to no avail, Axel doesn't want to let go. Sa halip ay mas hinigpitan niya pa. "Damn it, Axel" napakahinang bulong ko sa kanya.

Kung kanina ay seryoso ang mukha ni Terence, ngayon ay blanko ang mukha niya. I can't read any emotion. His face is void of expressions that I want to find. He is my bodyguard. At kakasabi niya lang sa akin kanina na responsibilidad niyang sabihin kay papa ang mga bagay na katulad neto. That under his job description is to report everything to my papa.

But he won't say anything, he told me. Unless I stop lying and hiding to my parents the relationship I have with Axel.

Ngumiwi na lang ako at muling sinubukang tanggalin ang kamay ni Axel sa baywang ko. But he didn't let me.

Shet na shet naman! Ano ba kasing ginagawa niya dito e gabing gabi na? I left him para makapagpahinga siya pero heto at nandito naman sa dorm. The guards even let him inside! Lagi na lang, and I know it's because of his connections.

At the end, I decided to introduce them with each other for formalities' sake. May tensyon akong nararamdaman pero pilit kong binalewala.

"Axel, this is Terence. Bodyguard ko" I even used hand gestures. "And T, this is Axel.." I gulped when Axel pulled me closer to him. "..kaibigan ko" matapat na dugtong ko.

"I'm not your fucking friend, Patricia. I'm more than that" makahulugang untag bigla ni Axel kaya napatingin ako sa kanya. His dark eyes look murderous.

Bakit ganito 'to? Parang galit na galit e wala naman akong ginagawang masama? O baka naman may nangyaring masama kaya siya umaaktong ganito.

Kahit inaasahan kong mag-handshake sila, walang nangyari. Terence just stared at me and gave me a small smirk. "Be safe. Call me when something happens. If you need something, hit me up. Darating agad ako" aniya sa malamig na boses kaya nginitihan ko siya.

"I'm with her. Nothing's going to happen" napanganga ako sa biglang untag ni Axel kay Terence. Siniko ko siya sa tiyan. It did nothing.

Bigla na lang sumisingit sa usapan ng may usapan kasi!

Terence smirked darkly. "I'm not sure I agree with that" he said and looked at me. "Bye"

Nanatili akong nakatitig sa kotse ni Terence hanggang sa mawala ito sa paningin ko. "Terence huh"

I looked at Axel when he said that. Gumalaw ang panga niya na tila ba may hindi nagustuhan.
