BRIAR'S POV
"Welcome home Briar" Death greeted softly
Agad namang lumabo ang mga mata ko dahil sa mga luhang nag babadya nanamang lumabas just seeing him, And it makes me Blink few times para maging clear ulit ang paningin ko, after that ay tiningnan ko Lang Ang kabuuan nya still not believing na nakikita ko sya ngayun sa harap ko.
Wala namang nag bago sa kanya pero I can tell na his a bit stressed up and I have a hint why... But in over all walang nag bago... (Well... kami ata Ang nag bago... Or maybe not.)
His Still the Death I know.
His scary aura is radiating in the whole room as always but not so suffocating than the usual one, the way he stand, still hold power and authority sign na his still superior and above us, his expressionless as always but it was soft in some ways and not as sharp like knives. His eyes were cold yet shinning in the dim light making it reflects whatever his looking at. (Which is me as for the moment)
His still the deadly Mafia Boss but the softer version this time...
Gising na talaga sya!
"Death!" I called out, Hindi ko narin namalayang tumatakbo na pala ako palapit sa kanya despite of my situation
I needed him... Badly.
I crashed my body against him Ng tuluyan na akong makalapit sa kanya at agad na humagulgul Ng iyak dahil Parang sa mga oras na yun ay Yun Lang Ang Kaya Kong gawin
My knees also grew weaker Ng maglapat Ang mga balat namin making me to stumble a bit in my feet, pero buti nalang ay maagap na inalalayan ako nito, pulling me over him more for support
"Careful... I don't want you going back to the hospital again... Cause I swear I'm going to f*cking burn that place down." he said a little tense yet worried but Hindi ko Yun pinansin and just hug him Very very tight
Naramdaman ko namang yumakap din Ito sa akin with the same pace but just enough for me to feel loved, cared , and comforted... Home.
I cried more. Sa tingin ko nga Wala na Yung balak tumigil, I just can't help it, Ang tagal nang panahon Ng huli ko syang nayakap
For almost 3 years! for goodness sake! I was dying and craving for his love and care.
No-one can blame me for acting like this.
I was like a child na gustong mag sumbong sa dady nya dahil may umaway sa akin, I just wanted to cry and feel helplessly in his arms so bad, Telling him that I wanted him more than anything, that I can't live without him, that his still the only one for me despite of everything that happened so far, na sya parin Ang kaisa isang Tao na can affect me this way, making me so incomplete and so vulnerable!
"Shhhh now now... Stop crying Darling" he whispered, caressing my back, making me calm under his touch
I miss his voice... his touch... I miss everything about him, I can't even find the right words to express my feelings towards him, Kung gaano ko sya na miss within the years na mag kalayo kami, Kung gaano ako nangungulila sa mga yakap at pag lalambing nya sa akin...
"Totoo ka ba huh? Kong panaginip man to ayaw ko nang magising" umiiyak na sabi ko, still not letting him go dahil natatakot ako na baka mawala sya, nakalimutan ko na ring may iba pa kaming kasama dahil I don't care for that mare moment
Dahan dahan syang Kumalas sa yakap and I feel panic in instant like na I'm about to lose him again
No..!
"Calm down love, your not losing me... And this is no dream darling, cause I'm real..." He said, holding my chin up para mag tama ang mga paningin namin, may sariling utak naman Ang kamay ko at nag punta sa pisngi nya, touching him, whether if his really true or not, Nakita ko namang marahan syang pumikit because of my sudden action, feeling my touch and heat beneath his skin...
"Ikaw na ba talaga si Death ko..? Ikaw na ba talaga Yan?.... Hindi mo Alam Kong gaano Kita na miss..." Bulong ko sa ere, he chuckled softly
"Who else? And I f*cking miss you too Briar... You have no f*cking idea how much..." he whispered back, while staring at me Intensely as he wipe my tears away, my heart melt just hearing those words coming from his lips again
His just making me cry more!
Sh*t! I really miss him!... Sya Yung kulang sa akin... His the one who's I've been missing for so long...
And who I'm even kidding? I know to myself and for the very long time na sya Ang kulang, but I'm just denieng it dahil nasasaktan ako dahil sa ginawa nya...
But now, I'm ready... I'm ready for his explanation, ready na akong tanggapin at pakinggan Ang mga sasabihin nya to clear himself. Handa na ako.
Binalik ko Ang attention ko sa mga Mata nya and memorizing every corner of it as I look deep through them, finding the same feelings that I'm feeling.
His eyes where beautiful as ever, shinning like a star but deadly as a knife, the icey within them still linger which make it even more gorgeous... kitang Kita ko Rin dun Kung gaano sya kasabik na Makita at mahawakan ako as much as I do over him
His rutting for me, I can see it clearly in his eyes, The excitement. The amusement. And the predditory side of him was burning with desire to succumb me already between heaven and hell, devouring my soul alive. It's hot and so tempting.
His so work up already but don't know how to put and act it side by side to take over me, At ganun din Ang feelings ko towards him
We're both overwhelmed to the point na ang Kaya nalang naming gawin ay titigan Ang isat isa para maiparating Ang mga saloobin namin na Hindi kayang sabihin Ng mga bibig namin as for that moment
We're just adoringly staring at each other don't know what to do and say, lost for words... We're totally corrupted by our emotions and couldn't think right.
"Then why?..." Natanong ko nalang, Hindi ko rin alam Kung bakit bigla ko Yung natanong which confused me too, ayaw ko pa namang sirain Yung moment, but it just slipped out from my mouth demanding for an explanation. his brow's furrowed for a sec but relax back after
He leans to me and I close my eyes as he gives me a kiss in my forehead, small gesture from him na kayang kayang kalmahin Ang buong sistema ko, it gives me peacefulness and chaises my fears and doubts away...
" I promise I will clear myself to you later... And then you can kick my ass hard because of my stupidity, but for now, enjoy the welcome party for you darling..." He whispered in my ears then give me a peck kiss in my cheeks which take me by surprise but made me smile
"I'm totally ganna kick your ass hard" pagsangayun ko, he just give me one of his perky smirks. My tears stop in instant because of it, then he pull me in my waist making our body close and fit together, completely. but it's just for guiding me to walk towards the dinning area
"Don't you think we're to close? just for you to help me walk?" Tanong ko dto, looking at him suspiciously, nag kibit balikat Lang Naman Ito
"Just a little precautions" he said firmly, napailing Lang naman ako dun
"The way you defined 'little' is way too absorbed " I breath out in defeat he just hummed in respond
"Walang kich! (Kiss) boring!" Biglang sigaw Ng Kung sino Kaya marahan akong nag Flinch sa gulat then napaharap sa direction na yun
Agad naman akong nilamon Ng kapulahan ko Ng makitang nanunuod pa pala sa amin Ang lahat, maliban dun sa mga maid na malamang ay nag iintindi na sa kusina, and the voice came from Zefrianna of course na karga karga ni Ezra
"Zef princess, you supposed to say na "kiss na kiss na yan" " rinig Kong bulong ni mathew, correcting zef, but it's obviously far from whispering dahil Parang gusto na nya yung ipag sigawan. wala sa sariling napabuntong hininga naman ako dun
Mathew! Stop teaching her stupid stuffs!!!
"Ay hihihi, chorry (sorry) po, take two nalang!" Zef answered giggling then prepare herself, nakangising aso Lang Naman si Mathew sa amin
Buysit...
"Kich (kiss) na Yan! Kich (kiss) na Yan!! Yieee!!" Zef squealed, feeling so excited over us, sinamaan ko Lang Naman Ng tingin si mathew na nginuso si death Kaya Wala sa sariling na patingin ulit ako Kay death who's now smirking
"Your the on--" my debate was cutted by a kiss from him, smack Lang iyun but make my world stop for a moment
"One who pla---" cutted by a kiss again. I blink
"Plan this all---" for the third time, I was annoyed.
"Bakit kase laging peck Lang!" I hissed then bago pa sya makaangal ay ako na mismo ang sumunggab ng halik sa kanya, na mukhang surprised din sa outburst ko but di ko Yun pinansin, nakarinig Naman ako Ng sigawan which is I didn't mind too
I kiss death needingly and hungrily, yes hungrily, I'm totally ravaging his lips. I was annoyed dahil he keep teasing me at nabibitin ako sa mga peck kiss nya, and it's time to punish him!
And so I did. I'm the one who seek for an entrance which is he gave in already so I make my tongue Wonder inside his mouth as the kiss went deeper in every second, my hands find their way to his hair and pulling it slightly as he moaned within the kiss, I bite his lips slightly but hard enough for him to flinch, but didn't argue with it even though I can taste the blood coming out from it.
I just enjoyed the way how I'm hurting him with pleasure but firey enough for him to be more aggressive. Not that much long we parted and breath our lungs out, if I'm not mistaken the kiss last for almost 3 minutes and I'm proudly smirking just seeing his lips pooled with a little blood.
I did that alright! I make him bleed!
"That's for annoying me" I said as I lick my lips, nakita ko Naman Kung paano gumuhit ang ngiti sa labi nya but a cocky
"I love your dominance darling... But I'll tell you later who's really incharge" he mocked while giving me those evilly look na para bang may balak na agad ito
"I'm pleased.." I responded at pinaningkitan sya Ng mata, pero bago pa man may mangyari ay pumagitan na sa amin si zef
"Kich (kiss) lang chabi (sabi) ko Hindi new kapatid" she innocently said, nanglaki Naman Ang Mata ko dun at medyo namula dahil Kung saan saan pumupunta ang utak ko, but agad ding napatingin sa gawi ni mathew na Alam Kong sya ang nag utos Kay zef na sabihin Yun
tawang tawa naman Ang luko habang higit na si Jazlyn papuntang kusina, while Ezra is laughing with them
Tarantado ka talaga mathew! Kung ano ano tinuturo mong kalukohan Kay Zefrianna! Tsk! Lagot ka sa sakin mamaya
"I'm totally ganna kick his ass too later" nabulong ko nalang, nag chuckle Lang Naman si death
" I'll be more glad if you beat him down, he kinda beat me too, so Avenging me is not a big deal" Death mumurs, nanglaki Naman Ang Mata ko dun
"He beat you? Why? " Na bulalas ko nalang, Hindi Naman sya sumagot bagkos ay ngumiti Lang, I didn't even realize na tumungo sya to get Zefrianna na ngayun ay asa mga braso na nya
I suddenly froze when I realize something. I Blink few times then nag balik balik ang tingin ko sa dalawa, kilala na nila Ang isat isa?....
Sh*t...!
My throat went dry just thinking some scenarios in my mind...
Agad ulit naman akong napatingin Kay death and to my surprise ay nakatingin din Ito sa akin like na his thinking the same thing that's running in my mind...
I gulp. His green eyes deepen as it continue to glow in the dim light na naandto, then I felt he pulls me over him again since we're kinda apart already dahil sa pag singit ni zef kanina, but this time it's tighter, not wanting for me to scape
He leans then whisper in my ears
"Looks like I'm not the Only one who will be explaining later..." He said meaningfully as his eyes drifted to zef who's now daze on her own world looking so innocent, I just gulp again and that makes him smirk but more on a serious one...
It's a warning for me to be ready later...
"Let's go, everyone must be waiting" he said after a moment
"Let go!!! Gutom na rin ako!!" Zef then squealed again gamit Ang matinis nyang boses at may paturo turo pa papuntang kusina, bago Naman kami maglakad ay sinulyapan pa ako ni death then totally we went off
Bakit Parang ako Yung malalagot mamaya? Diba dapat sya Yun? Great! His totally manipulating everything! Ano pa nga ba?
Tsk!
"Buti nag balak pa kayong dalawa na pumunta dito? Ang akala ko nagkaugat na Kayo sa pwesto nyo kanina" malumanay na bungad agad sa amin ni mathew nang makapasok kami sa dinning area
"Mathew ano ka ba! let the two of them take their time" natatawang saway ni Ezra, Jazlyn just nod but nakita Kong umirap ang luko
"Well I'm pretty hungry and my stomach don't have timrgh hmmm!" Natigil Ang pag dedebate nya Ng subuan sya ni Jazlyn ng malaking hiwa Ng cake na andto sa lamesa
"Yes, you definitely is hungry why not enjoy your food already hon" nakangiting Sabi dto ni Jazlyn, then patago akong kinindatan Kaya natawa nalang ako
Tuluyan na naman kaming nakalapit sa lamesa at agad na binaba ni death si zef sa upuan nito, then inalalayan nya akong makaupo sa upuang katabi Ng kay zef, dun Naman sya umupo sa kabila. pinapagitnaan namin si zef.
And so the dinner went lively more than I imagined, we just chats around but most of all ay kinakamusta ako, Kung ano daw nararamdaman ko as of now, they're pretty careful around me and I can't help but to feel kinda warmed
It's so stupid of me to think on giv'uping when I have this kind of friends and family to keep me living and fighting for, waiting me to came home.
I don't know... It's just good to be back and feel this happiness within me... I'm thankful dahil despite of everything na nangyari buo parin kami, may nawala man but as Ezra said the journey has new beginning. At Ito na Yun...
"I'm just reminding the both of you that there's no fucking tonight ok? I mean, you Briar has a wound that's still healing, and death is the same, so pretty much there's no fucking going on tonight" Mathew said without nowhere, nasa kalagitnaan kami Ng kwentohan and I'm still wondering Kung paano na punta Ang usapan dto
What is wrong with this guy?!! Puro fucking na Lang ba Ang nasa utak nya or Hindi lang talaga sya pinapascore ni Jazlyn at tigang na tigang na ang walangya!!?
Hindi ba sya aware na may mga Bata!!? Goodness Naman!! Wala pang filter Yung bibig nya!
"Mathew!" Sabay sabay na sigaw namin nila Ezra sa kanya
"What?" Tanong Ng luko, pero sinamaan ko Lang sya Ng tingin at sinulyapan si zef na patuloy paring nilalaro Ang tunaw na ice cream...
"Anong what! May mga bata! Yang bibig mo lagyan mo Ng filter!" I hissed, but nag rolled eye Lang Ito sa akin Kaya kinurot sya ni Jazlyn
"Aww... Ano ba! Pag lumaki sila malalaman at malalaman din nila Yun so what's the difference now? It's Better nga na aware na sila ngayun" he reasoned out, still sticking on his sucks reasoning
"Masyado pa silang bata to know such things! And sayo pa talaga nanggaling Yan huh? And What do you know about growing a child anyway? You even let Jazlyn grew your own daughter alone---" I stop from my sentence, blinking and realizing what I've been saying so far
I felt someone hold my hands at agad na nabaling Ang tingin ko Kay death then back at everyone na natahimik din dahil sa sinabi ko, I look at mathew and his shocked na Parang nahampas sya Ng reality, Jazlyn was a little anxious about the topic
Agad Kong naitikom ang bibig ko...
I think I hit the Very wrong and personal topic...
"I s-suppose not to s-said that right...?" Mahinang bulong ko Kay Death kinda ansure
"Yes Briar... It's a pretty serious matter between them..." He whispered back, napalunok ako dun, then napatingin ulit Kay mathew na ngayun ay Parang nasasaktan
Oh my... I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it that way...
"M-mathew I'm so sorry I didn't mean it--"
" It's fine, it's true anyway, ano bang Alam ko? I go and kill who's in the way, I don't know how to be good father. but what can I do? I didn't know she was mine for the very first place! Damn it!" He cutted me, then frustratedly sighed while grabing his hair slightly to release his undissolved frustrations for him not to get angry as much as he already is.
"don't say that, I am really truly sorry Mathew... I was just not thinking carefully---"
"It's ok, no need to explain, I understand, just drop it." Agap nanaman nya bago ko pa ulit matapos Ang sasabihin ko, tiningnan ko Naman sya na I'm really sorry about it
Hindi ko talaga sinasadya na mabring up ang topic nayun, I was just annoyed dahil sa mga sinasabi nya and I didn't know na may nasasabi na pala akong napaka sensitive na issue about him
It must hurt him to the core...
Oh great briar! Ano nanaman Ang ginawa mo? Hindi mo pa nga Alam Kung paano sila pasasalamatan tapos Ito na agad ginawa mo! Your very unbelievable! You really love messing everything! tsk!
My mind scolded me, napapikit at napabuntong hininga Lang Naman ako dun
"Briar calm down" I heard Death said worriedly, agad Naman akong napamulat at dun ko Lang narealize na I'm already hiper-ventilating
"Kumuha ka Ng pamaypay Dali!"
"Itutuk mo dto Yung electric fan!"
I heard them panicking around me but I couldn't process through what is happening
"Briar calm down darling, don't think to much" death said again Kaya nabalik Ang attention ko sa kanya, his holding my hand while the other was on my back caressing it slightly but I can see that his very worried sick
I blink few times as I catches my breath out and it takes a few seconds for me to totally calm down, nag collapse Naman ako sa mga braso ni death dahil Parang napagod ako, medyo kumalma narin Naman Ang paligid but there's still someone near us
"Shhh... Calm down now" he whispered over my ears, inayos nya Naman Ang upo ko sa lap nya as I put my head tiredy in the crock of his neck, I didn't even know Kung paano ako napunta dto knowing na isang bangko Ang layo namin sa isat isa, but maybe his the one who came to me...
"I'm sorry..." I whisper
" That's enough briar, you didn't mean it, Mathew get that, ok?, now calm down, you can't be stressed up" death warned, mas sumiksik Lang Naman ako sa leeg nya
"Daddy uncle ich (is) mommy bri ok po? Bakit cha (sya) nahihirapan na mag breath?" I heard Zef ask but I didn't understand it well dahil mahina Lang iyun
"It's nothing princess... Don't worry Your mommy will be fine" death assured it, hinayaan ko Lang Naman silang mag usap and just remain in silent
After some more minutes Ng mamake sure Kong totally calmed na ako ay marahan na akong kumalas kay death at I slightly breath out
" Are you alright? Do I need to call a doctor?" He worriedly ask marahan Naman akong umiling
"No I'm fine thank you, I'm so sorry, I just didn't realize I was hiper-ventilating like that" I explained, still a little weary
" Stop saying sorry it's not your fault Briar" death said firmly, marahan Lang Naman ulit akong tumango duon
"But anyway where is mathew? Is he alright?" Natanong ko nalang Ng maalala ko Yung nangyari
" Of course I am alright, bakit ka ba nag aalala sa akin when you need to worry about yourself more?" Sabi Ng Kung sino sa may gilid ko, mabilis akong tumingin duon at nakita ko dun Ang nakakunot nuong mukha ni Mathew while Jazlyn is on his side looking at me worriedly too
"Pero kase..."
"I told you i was fine didn't I? Maybe I did overreact to it earlier but I was just fine, stop stressing yourself over me" he scolded but not on a harsh way
"Tama sya ma'am bria-- I mean bri... Alam ko namang Hindi mo sinasadya yun, we understand you, so please be more careful" Jazlyn agreed
I sighed In defeat
"Ok ok... And I'm fine, really..." pailing iling na sagot ko, but nakatanggap ako pitik sa nuo
"You where fine now but not a while ago" death corrected, nahimas ko nalang Naman Ang nuo ko dahil Ang sakit nun
nag balikan na Naman Ang lahat sa kanikanilang mga upuan while Ezra sit next to us holding zef since I was on Death's lap, marahan ko silang sinulyapan at kinindatan Lang ako ni Ezra and whisper in the air na 'take your time im on zef' which make me blush a little dahil Yung utak ko iba nanaman Ang iniisip
" Ok ok! Tapos na Ang drama, Kain na ulit dahil I'm hungry again, but I'm serious earlier no fu-- I mean no touching touching tonight---" Mathew said
"Calvente..." Death warned
Mathew talaga -_-"
"Oo na Oo na, I'm going to uphmmgdnsj hmmm!"
"Ang sarap Nyan dba, ako nag luto nyan eh" naputol nanaman ang pag sasalita ni Mathew Ng subuan ulit sya ni Jazlyn for the second time para mapatahimik ito
Patago naman akong nag papasalamat dun, Mathew just don't know how to shut up...
After Naming mag dinner ay tumambay muna kami sa sala just watching some movies habang Ang mga Bata ay naglalaro kasama Ang mga maid sa room ni Zef
We're in the middle of watching Ng may mag door bell Kaya sabay sabay kaming lumingon sa may pinto, si Ezra naman Ang tumayo
"Baka si Zack na Yan" she said before going off naramdaman ko namang nag flinch si death then mas humigpit Ang hawak sa akin, Kaya napunta sa kanya ang attention ko
His tense... May nangyari ba between them ni Zack? Bakit ganito nalang Ang reaction nya?
" Ayos ka Lang ba?" I Ask, bahagya Naman itong tumingin sa akin then just hummed Kaya naningkit Ang mga Mata ko sa kanya but it's not that long Ng bumalik ulit Ang attention ko sa may pinto dahil I heard some footsteps coming towards us, dto sa Sala
Parehas na niluwa Ng pinto si Ezra and zack, I just examined Zack from head to toe at Hindi nakatakas sa paningin ko Ang pasa nya sa labi at sa may kaliwang Mata, I know na may concealer iyun pero dahil Gabi na ay it's already fading
My brows just farrowed more at nag balik balik ang tingin Kay death and zack, seryoso at napaka expressionless Lang Naman Ng Kay death na reaction as always but Hindi tulad kanina na medyo lively ang dating unlike now naparang nakakakita sya Ng kalaban...
Sabay sabay kaming tumayo para salubungin Yung dalawa, sila Mathew naman ang naunang bumati sa mga ito Ng makalapit na kami sa kanila
"How's work dude?" Matthew as ask habang asa tabi nya si Jazlyn
"It sucks" Zack boredly answer natawa Lang Naman si mathew dun at marahan na tinapik Ang balikat nito
"Oh yes, I felt that this just pass few weeks haha" Mathew commented as they sat back on their sit, nabaling Naman Ang attention nila Zack sa amin and I smiled at him so he did the same but Ng walang maging reaction si death ay marahan ko syang siniko Kaya Nakita Kong umigting Ang mga panga nito just to control something
Tatanongin ko talaga sya about this...
"Brickson... Hmmm I'm glad your still alive" death said na ikinalaki Ng Mata ko, Kaya siniko ko ulit sya and pinanglakihan ng mata pero waepek Kay pareng death natin
Seriously? I really need to know what happened...
"Death... Hmmm it's good to be still alive" Zack answered calmly, death nod as respond then bumalik na kami sa upuan namin dahil mukhang Wala talaga sa mood si Death. While Ezra leaded Zack to their room, probably to do their things and so
"What was that?" Tanong ko agad Ng tuluyan Ng nawala Yung dalawa
"What was what?" Death ask back, napairap Naman ako dun, his totally avoiding the question
"Don't ask me with the same question, anong nangyari sa Inyo? Oh and don't lie either! Something definitely Happened when I'm still out! " I stated, marely a question but nag kibit balikat Lang Ito at hinigit ulit ako palapit sa dibdib nya then kisses me in my hair slightly as I lay down
"I'm still ganna ask you about this you later" paalala ko, dahil wala nilalandi na ako Ng isang to para Lang Hindi sya makumpronta
"Hmm.. later" he quietly said, I just nod then enjoy the peacefulness of the place, Mathew and Jazlyn are the same but their not cuddling like me and Death dahil nakahiga si mathew sa lap ni Jazlyn
Oh well... I guess this is fine for now...
