Chapter 21

I caught them stare at each other and both raise their brows. I just shrug and don't mind them.

I averted my eyes to the man upfront me wearing his glistening emerald eyes. I scanned his body only to see his outfit right now.

He's wearing a black leather jacket together with black pants. Damn he's so hot!

Pinagtaaasan ko s'ya ng kilay. Ipinapahiwatig kung bakit ganoon ang kan'yang kasuotan. Wala ba s'yang duty ngayon? Bakit hindi s'ya naka-uniporme?

"Don't you have work?" Tanong ko na sa kan'ya.

"I do have baby," nakangiting sagot n'ya. If that's the case then why is he here?

"What are you doing then?" He shrugged.

"Yes I do have work baby, and that is to protect you. I'll go with you in US," sagot n'ya dahilan para nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa gulat.

"What are you saying? Hindi ba't may responsibilidad ka rito?" he just shrugged again.

"Yep, but I temporarily leave it to my lower," I stared at him in disbelief.

Just for me he's willing to leave his duty?

"Let's go baby time is running," dagdag n'ya pa.

Sandali ko na lang ibinaling ang atensyon ko sa kanilang tatlo ni Emmanuel. Dahil alam kong wala na akong magagawa at ipagpipilitan pa rin naman ng Heneral na 'to ang gusto n'ya.

"I'll go with him, let's go," wika ko.

Mabilis na lumapad ang ngiti ng pilyong Heneral.

Pinagbuksan n'ya ako ng pinto na may kasama pang pag-senyas ng kamay na para bang iginigiya n'ya pasakay ang isang prinsesa.

Mabilis siyang umikot at umupo sa driver's seat, saka s'ya na mismo ang dali-daling nagsuot sa 'kin ng seatbelt.

Dahil parang nakayakap s'ya ay dama at amoy ko ang pabango'ng gamit n'ya. A Lacoste, not bad.

Ngunit agad akong napaigtad nang akala ko ay tapos na s'ya sa pag-se-seatbelt sa 'kin. He landed his lips on mine quickly.

"I got my morning kiss," he said with a grin after our lips departed.

Oh shit!

Gusto ko sana s'yang hampasin at sabihang manyakis, ngunit magugulat pa ba ako sa ikinilos n'yang ito? He's always been like this since the day I said yes.

And I already know that General Styyx Lxion Andervano, the General with beautiful and hypnotic emerald eyes who are like illegal drugs is always full of surprises.

"I should get my morning kiss too," mapang-asar kong wika.

Hindi nakaligtas sa paningin ko ang mabilis na panlalaki ng kan'yang mga mata saka ibinaling sa 'kin ang atensyon.

"Ofcourse you always can baby," aniya sabay lapit ng mukha n'ya sa 'kin.

Nang ilang pulgada na lang ang layo ng mga labi namin ay agad kong itinulak ang labi n'ya, dahilan para umangal s'ya.

"Just drive General, we can't be late," nakangising wika ko.

Narinig ko pa s'yang magbulong-bulong ng mura. Lalo na lang akong napangisi. Now I know how to tease him.

"Baby your torturing me," he dramatically said. I raised my left brow and stare at him with a sarcastic look.

"I am not General," I answered.

"Damn baby!" Angal n'ya saka mabilis na ipinagdikit ang aming mga labi.

"Oh fvck you General mababangga tayo nyan!" I scolded at him after our lips departed.
