KISSING MY KRYPTONITE

(A/N • UNEDITED: Merry Holy Christmas, beautiful people! Oct-Nov were a bit too harsh and hectic for me kaya natagalan UD, but here it is! Salamat sa matiyagang paghihintay! Deserve niyo lahat maging masaya! I wish that the light of Christmas or this holiday season enlight everyone's life today and forever ♡)

I took a step back when all of them pointed their guns at the woman next to me.

"What's the meaning of this?" my face shrieking in stunned fear, I blink at their fingers cupping triggers.

"Put your guns down," Rafa commands authoritatively. Looking puzzled, I moved forward to repeat what she had said, but the protection officers had already lowered their weapons as quickly as they could.

Their superior walks closer with an apologetic face, he tilts down his head slightly before saying, "Please accept our apologies, ma'am, we did not recognize you straight away."

Si Rafa ang kinakausap nila kaya mas lalo akong naguluhan, magkakilala sila? Isa sa tatlo mula sa likod ay bahagyang tumawa na kumuha ng atensyon namin.

"Cordova? Hindi ko alam na kahit anak ni Sir Friderich ay tinatrabaho mo rin?"

"I beg your pardon, officer?" Rafa knits her eyebrows at the guy's mocking remark.

"Alam mo kung ano'ng ibig kong sabihin, Cordova-" he waffles smugly and raises his hands with a hint of dread when Rafa promptly seizes their leader's gun and points it in his face.

"Repeat what you said," Rafa scoffs while giving him a once-over.

"Ma'am," the owner of the gun holds her hand carefully to retrieve it from her.

Iyong officer na nang-insulto ay tinabig nila patalikod, pinakiusapan nila itong mag-sorry pero hindi ito nakinig kaya gulong-gulo man ay napilitan akong magsalita dahil hindi ko rin nagustuhan ang inasal nito.

"How dare you disrespect my woman in front of me?" I scoff firmly.

"I'm sorry, Miss Ezra," he apologizes, followed by the other three members, Rafa just shrugs quietly.

Sa gitna ng komprontasyong ito ay hindi nawala ang pagiging alerto nila sa paligid, para silang nagmamasid..nakabantay.

"What are you doing here?" Rafa finally speaks, her voice too commanding that even I can't react.

"There's a woman wearing black cape lingering around this condominium building, we just want to make sure Miss Ezra is fine," mabilis na pahayag ng superior nila. "Pasensya ka na ma'am, hindi kasi lumalayos sa itim na robe niyo ang suot niya ngayon."

Tinanong ko sila kung bakit sila nandito dahil tapos naman na ang trabaho nila sa 'kin at dapat ay si Cash ang binabantayan nila ngayon.

"Pagkatapos ng pagkamatay ni Sebaztian Davies, pinabantayan ka ng daddy mo sa 'min. He instructed us to watch over to keep you safe," he explained.

"At ano namang kinalaman ko kay Sebaztian Davies? Bakit kailangan niyo akong bantayan patago?" nagtatakang turan ko.

"Isa ka sa mga huling taong nakausap niya before the crime happened, your father just wanted to make sure hindi ka madiin o isabit dito hangga't hindi pa nalalaman kung sino'ng totoong suspect. He was worried about his reputation so he wanted you to be safe-"

"Reputation again? Fuck it," hindi ko na napigilan ang sarili't napailing, tungkol na naman ito sa pangalan niya. Ingat na ingat ano? "Umalis na kayo! From now on, huwag niyo na akong susundan!" at siyempre binalaan ko rin sila na hindi na nila uulitin iyong ginawa nila kay Rafa.
