Captured and Tainted (SERIE FEROCI 2)

Chapter Fifteen

Inalis niya rin ang kamay sa loob ng nightgown ko at niyakap na lang ako nang mahigpit.

He's so clingy, but I don't know, I like the fact that he's clingy. I should be irritated but I'm not. What the hell is he doing to me? I think I'm not myself anymore.

“Angel.”

Natigilan ako sa paglalagay ng lipstick at saglit na napalingon kay Zakarius.

“Hmm?” tanong ko at muling tumingin sa salamin at tinapos ang paglalagay ng lipstick.

“Where are you going?” tanong niya at nagtungo sa likuran ko at hinawakan ang magkabilang balikat ko.

“Castor's party,” I answered and fixed my hair.

I'm just wearing a simple asymmetric ruffled floral pink chiffon dress, I matched it with beige wedge heels. I let my hair down because I don't put much effort on my hairstyle most of the time.

“Puwede bang umuwi ka kaagad?” tila bulong na na tanong niya saka marahang pinisil ang balikat ko.

Muli akong lumingon sa kanya. Tumayo ako at nakapamaywang na hinarap siya. He just bit his lower lip and hugged my waist. I just sighed and rolled my eyes but I still hugged him back.

Damn it, he smells so good.

“Why? You seem bothered. Ano ba'ng mayroon ngayon?” I asked.

“Nothing. I just want to hug you nang matagal. Umuwi ka kaagad,” he murmured and kissed my neck gently. I just but my lower lip to stop myself from giggling.

“Yeah, uuwi ako kaagad para you can hug me nang matagal,” panggagaya ko sa pagiging conyo niya. Hinigpitan na lang niya ang pagyakap sa 'kin at isinubsob ang mukha sa leeg ko.

Damn this clingy man.

It's already 5 pm, siguro makakauwi ako ng 6 or 7 pm. Alam naman ni Castor na hindi ako nagtatagal sa mga ganoong party, and besides, I'm kinda excited to go home because I want Zakarius to hug me nang matagal.

“Zak, I gotta go. Baka ma-late pa ako ro'n,” sabi ko na lang at bahagya siyang itinulak. Napabuntong hininga na lang siya at lumayo sa akin.

“Damn, I miss you already,” he murmured and avoided my gaze. I bit the insides of my cheeks to restrain myself from smiling like an idiot. Damn this man, he's making me kilig.

“Whatever, I'll go ahead. Bye!”

I took my car keys on the bedside table and immediately left the room. Hindi ko na binalingan ng tingin si Zak dahil baka hindi na lang ako tumuloy sa party ni Castor.

I can't take my mind off Zakarius while driving on the way to Castor's party. I miss him already. Nahahawa na yata ako ng pagiging clingy sa kanya.

Nakarating din kaagad ako sa party, as usual, there are actors and actresses like myself here in the party. Gusto ko na lang batiin si Castor, i-abot ang regalo saka umalis na lang kaagad. Hindi ko alam kung bakit atat na atat akong umuwi kaagad.

“Angel Mendoza! The queen of Castor's party!”

I just smiled awkwardly when a group of celebrities approached me. When did I become the queen of Castor's party? Fuck, I'm so done with these issues.

“Hey, Angel.”

Lumapit sa akin si Castor at bumeso. Napangiti na lang ako at agad na inabot sa kanya ang regalo ko... it's just a limited edition watch. Sa sobrang tamad ko nga ay si Chan pa ang inutusan kong bumili no'n.
