The Vampire's Desire

7 • REPEATING THE HISTORY

Malamig syang tumingin sa'kin, "Ipag-bake mo kami, Para makapag-meryenda na tayo."

What?!

"Dad! May maid naman tayo–"

Kumunot ang noo nya, "Bakit ayaw mo kaming ipag-bake? Magandang ikaw ang gagawa ng meryenda para sa'min. Hindi ba?"

I sighed.

"Marunong naman mag-bake si Sammy. Bakit ako pa?"

Nag-salubong na ang kilay nya. Really? Darn.

"Are you refusing my command? Samantha?"

I secretly rolled my eyes. Really. Nice.

"Fine. Pero pwede ba akong magpa-tulong kay Sammy?"

"Pagod ang ate mo." Malamig nyang sabi at nilayasan na ako.

Dammit! Why my life is so unfair? Sila mag-papahinga at eto ako. Magga-gawa pa ng meryenda para sakanila!

Madaming maids ang gustong tumulong sa'kin but i refused. Magba-bake akong cupcake at kailangan kong tanggalin sa isip ko ang iritasyon. Baka maging mapait ang lasa neto.

Nag-simula akong gumawa ng batter. Habang nag-hahalo ako ay nagulat ako ng nakaramdam ako ng lamig sa likudan ko.

A cold hands embraced me. Napalingon ako sa likod ko at nagtagpo ang malamig na mata ni Zadrian. His gold eyes were starring at me.

"Zadrian.." I uttered.

"Who are they?" His husky voice sent me shivvers.

"T-they are my parents.."

God! Why am i shaking?

Zadrian licked his lips ang closed his eyes. I love his messy hair. Mariin syang pumikit at parang nagpipigil. His red lips became wet.

Parang kaming mag-shota sa posisyon namin. Dahil nakayakap sya sa'kin.

"They do not look like,"

Kumunot ang noo ko.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"The way they treat you, Hinahayaan mo lang sila?" He asked.

"I don't mind. It's no big deal."

He bit his lips.

"I can't let them like that."

Nanlaki ang mata ko. Agad ko syang nilingon. I forgot! Vampire nga pala ito at hindi na ako nag-tataka kung bakit nandito ito ngayon!

"Tigilan mo kung ano yang nasa isip mo! Please? Just shut the fvck off!"

Napabitaw sya sa pagkakayakap sa'kin. Now i realized it! Bakit sya nakayakap sa'kin. He's taking advantage of me. Dammit.

"What are you saying Samantha? What i meant is let them show the wrong impression of you," He chuckled.

Bahagya akong nagulat. First time nya akong tawagin sa mismong pangalan ko. Ako si Samantha. Madalas ay napag-kakamalan nya akong si Celestine.

"Baby.." It was gentle.

He held my face. His hands were
really cold and soft. His husky voice the way he say the word 'Baby'. Hindi na ako mag-tataka kung bakit nahulog si Celestine dito kahit Immortal ito.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him.

He bite his lips again. Namula muli ang kanyang labi. I wonder why his lips were red? Lagi ba syang may kahalikan?

"My family is on a vacation in the middle of the forest. We had our own house also in the forest."

Tumango ako sakanya. First time kong maging ganito ka-comportable sakanya. Madalas ay galit sya or naiinis ako sakanya dahil hindi ako si Celestine!

"Baby.. I got scared. Xandros like you."

I bit my lower lip. Damn! Can i have a normal life. Please? This Monteclaros brothers maked me tremble.
