Dealing with Mr. Scared of What? (Quadro Series #1)

Chapter 2

She remained unmoving while looking at the man who's walking towards them, hindi niya alam pero parang gusto niyang tumakbo at mukhang hindi lang siya. Nang dumapo ang tingin niya sa mata ng lalaki parang ayaw din nitong makita siya, there is something in his eyes that tell her that this man is not what she thinks he is. Mukhang balisa ito at halatang ang tensyon sa balikat nito.

She's being a little judgemental here pero malakas talaga ang appeal ang appeal may iilang tao nakatitig sakaniya habang nagbu-bulungan. Ito ang lalaki na nag- ligtas sakaniya kagabi. Gusto niyang mag-pasalamat pero parang may kung ano naka-bara sa lalamunan niya. Iba ang pakiramdam niya habang nakatingin sa lalaki na ayaw siyang dapuan ng tingin.

His aura scream money and authority but his stance, says the otherwise. He seem cautious and tense, his guard is up. He look scared and anxious. Tama nga si Dave he's aloof, like her in some way. Kaya alam niyang masama kung pipilitin itong makipag-usap sakaniya. He look tough but cautious. Pansin niya din ang patingin-tingin nito sa paligid na parang may binabantayan.

"Kyx! Good thing that you're here. May ipa-pakilala ako saiyo." Saad ni Dave habang may maliit na ngiti sa labi nito. Dave shakes Kyx's hand before talking to him in a low voice while guiding him towards her but strange as it is. Both of them have a good distance from her, like a weird distance from her.

Parang may virus siya dahil sa distansya nang mga ito. Her eyebrow furrowed a little because of that. The guy, Kyx. Seem cautious, too catious. Parang takot ito sakaniya. He look stoic but tense. Paulit- ulit lang. Hindi niya na lang iyon pinansin ang nginitian ang lalaki na hindi magawang tumingin sa mata niya.

But, she can clearly tell that this man in front of her was the same person in that bar last night. It's him and his name is Kyx. So mag-kaibigan nga sila ni Dave at mukhang close ang mga ito. Mas dumami ang tanong sa isip niya. Bakit kailangan siyang paki-usapan ni Dave na maging kaibigan ni Kyx? Sa mukha pa lang ni Kyx alam niyang maraming babae na willing maging more than friends para dito.

"Kyx, this is Quinn the one I'm talking about and I'm hoping you can take her as your patient." Saad ni Dave nang may ngiti sa labi pero nakikita niya ang pag-iingat sa mata ni Dave. Her eyebrow furrows not only because of how Dave act but also because of what he said.

Patient? Doctor ba ito? Then her eyes widen. Is he a therapist? No, she's confident that Dave wouldn't meddle that part of her life.

Question we're starting to flood inside her head, especially when she saw the man beside her started to get visibly uncomfortable. You can see the displeased in his eyes while looking at Dave, parang kinakausap nito si Dave gamit ang mata nito.

"I don't think so. Dave, we talk about this. Hindi ko kaya." She heard Kyx muttered at Dave, parang nagpa-panic ito habang tinitigan si Dave, now she can tell that he is worried and bothered. Hindi lang ito pati siya. Anong ibig sabihin nito na hindi nito  kaya? She don't know, why he's scared. She winces before she took a sip of her wine.

Andito lang siya sa harap nila pero kung makapag-usap sila parang hangin lang siya. Now she's standing there awkwardly. Ano ba dapat niyang gawin sa sitwasyon iyon diba?

"We talk about this. Kailangan mo itong gawin, besides Howl said it will be good for you. Don't you trust me?" Saad ni Dave habang nakatingin kay Kyx. She want to clear her throat to give attention to her presence but she can't bring herself to do so. The chismosa in her is stopping her. Hindi niya alam pero masasabi niya na seryuso na pinag- uusapan ng dalawa.
