Flames Of Deception (Levrés Series #6)

Kabanata 13

Kyner has been cold to me for the whole freaking day. It feels like he was back to old Kyner before. Iyong matipid ang sagot at sasagot lang kapag gusto. At iniiwasan ako.

Pauwi na ngayon sina Naomi. Alas sais ng gabi ang pinili nilang oras para umuwi. Nasa loob na sila ng sasakyan ni Timber. Ang nasa labas pa ay sina Timber at Dwayne.

Dwayne pulled me for a hug. My eyes immediately darted at Kyner who looked away while gritting his teeth.

I pushed Dwayne softly. "Ingat kayo! Huwag na ulit kayo bibisita," I smiled.

"Umuwi ka na ng Maynila para roon na kami bibisita ulit!" sabi ni Naomi mula sa bintana.

"You should come home, Snorri," Dwayne said.

"I will. But not right now," I said.

"Kapag nagalit siya sa iyo, tawagan mo lang ako at susunduin agad kita rito," he said seriously.

I arched a brow. "What are you talking about?"

"Basta tawagan mo lang ako. I'll be here immediately."

Hindi ko na lang muna iyon pinansin at nagpaalam na sa kanila. I watched them left our mansion. Nauuna ang sasakyan ni Timber habang nakasunod sa kanila si Dwayne. They had the guts to come here without a bodyguards.

I looked at Kyner who was looking elsewhere. What did Dwayne mean by that? Kyner will get mad at me? And why is that? Is he mad at me? Is that reason why he's been cold to me?

"Kyner," I called. He looked at me. Waiting for me to continue talking. "Can you cook for me?"

He nodded his head. "Ano gusto mong kainin?"

"Do you know cruciferous vegetables?" I asked. He nodded again. "I don't want you to overcooked it. I want normal cooking or steaming should do the trick."

"Sisimulan ko na gawin."

Naglakad na siya papasok sa loob. Sumunod naman ako sa kanya patungo sa kusina. I sat at the high chair while watching him prepare my dinner.

Hapit sa katawan niya ang suot na T-shirt. Kaya bawat paggalaw ng kanyang braso at kamay, nadedepina ang muscle sa kanyang likod. Kyner is four years older than me. I may have a mature looking face and body, but compared to him, I still look young. At sa tingin ko ay magkasing-edad lang sila ni Imogen.

I wonder what his types are. Gusto niya ba iyong mas bata sa kanya o mas matanda sa kanya? I'm younger than him.

Gusto niya ba iyong maganda o hindi kagandahan? Basta mabait? I'm beautiful and I admit I have an attitude but I'm kinda kind too!

Gusto niya ba ng mayaman o hindi? I'm rich. Ever since I started working, I never accepted my parents money anymore. All of my money came from my hard work.

Gusto niya ba maputi o morena? I have a porcelain skin. He has a golden tan so our skin are perfect.

Gusto niya ba ng matalino? I'm not that smart but my grades are good.

"Did your parents knows about us?" Kyner suddenly asked, stopping me from my rain of thoughts.

Nagulat ako roon pero agad din akong nakabawi lalo na noong lingunin niya ako.

"Yes. Of course."

He pursed his lips and nodded his head before returning his gaze to what he's doing. Galit ba siya dahil si Dwayne ang naghatid sa akin patungo sa Tagaytay at hindi siya? O dahil akala niya mas pabor sina Mommy kay Dwayne kaysa sa kanya?

Tumahimik na lang ako at pinagmasdan na muna ang bawat galaw at pakikitungo niya sa akin. I'll confront him later.

He put a plate on the countertop when he finished preparing my food. Iyon na lang din ang naging hapunan niya. Sabi niya kasi ay busog pa raw siya.
