Devil's Disguise [Series Two] (✓)

Chapter 12

The Herrisies

We were walking on the parking lot papunta sa kotse nito. I'm wearing my usual disguise, which is clothes that boys usually use.

"No one is watching you Elli, why are you still like that?" He asked na di na nito napigilan. Napapansin kong kanina niya pa tinitingnan ang suot ko.

"I'm just being careful, better sure than sorry." I answered. Umiling na lang ito. Nakarating kami sa kung saan ang kotse niya. My lips formed an o on how expensive his car is. Mukha pa lang.

Pero di na masyadong nakakagulat.

Lumapit siya sa pinto ng passanger seat at pinagbuksan ako. Napataas ang kilay ko sa ginawa nito.

"Didn't know you're a gentle-freaking-man." I said.

"I am. Since you are my girlfriend." simpleng sabi nito. I rolled my eyes on him saka pumasok sa kotse.

I'm bringing an paper bag of dress. I don't wanna look like this, meeting his siblings.

Pumasok ito sa kotse. He drove our way out of the school. I started to unbotton my polo at napansin ko ang mabilis na pagtingin nito sa dereksyon ko bago binalik sa kalsada.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"Changing, duh?" I said.

"God, sana kanina mo pa 'yan ginawa nung nasa dorm tayo."

"I did, and I'm doing it again, ayokong magmukhang ewan sa harap ng mga kapatid mo 'no."

"Shit." mahinang mura nito. Mahina akong natawa.

"It's not a big deal, we're a couple. Nothing to be embarass here Caius." I teased. He tsked. I laughed at him when he suddenly stepped the break or the car.

Kung di ko lang nabalanse ang sarili ko ay naumpog na 'ko. Di ako nag-seat belt for god sake, is he insane?

"What the freaking heck!?" I looked at him furiously but stopped when he's face is so close to mine.

"Stop messing with me Elli, kung ayaw mong magsuot ng gown ng may umbok sa tyan." seryosong sabi nito. Di ako nakapagsalita sa sinabi niya. Lumayo ito sa akin saka lumabas ng kotse.

Nakatulala lang ako doon ng kumatok siya sa binata ng passenger's seat. Nabalik ako sa ulirat at masama siyang binalingan ng tingin. Nakataas lang din ang kilay niya sa akin.

"Dress up woman." he commanded saka lumayo sa sasakyan. Binelatan ko siya kahit di niya ko nakikita saka nagpatuloy na sa pagtatanggal ng botones ng polo ko.

Wala naman masyadong dumadaan na kotse dahil sa gabi na rin. It's already 11:00 in the evening.

Natapos na 'ko magpalit and made my make up on. It's a black and silver tigh dress and an off shoulder. I applied an light make up and a little lip shiner.

Hinanap ng paningin ko si Caius pero wala ito. Bababa na sana ako ng sasakyan ng bigla itong sumulpot sa bintana.

"Where were you?" I asked.

"Nothing, what do you want?" he asked back.

"Nah, I was just checking on you."

"Seems like you're done, let's go." tumango lang ako sa sinabi nito. Tiningnan ko kung saan siya galing kanina. He looked so serious. Narinig ko ang pagbukas at sara ng pinto ng driver's seat.

I'm still searching for something habang nakadungaw ang ulo ko sa bintana ng sasakyan.

"Get your head inside or I'm gonna pull up the window and cut it off." he said. Mabilis naman ang pag-upo ko ng maayos. I mocked at him and pouted.

We finally reached the 4H club. It's full of crowd as usual kahit na nasa labas pa lang kami.

Di kami hinarang ng mga bouncer ng papasok. I just shrugged. Caius made me cling on his arm.

Ngayon ko lang din napansin ang suot nito. He look so cool with his white botton down polo na nakatupi hanggang siko. He's also wearing an ripped jeans together with his forever glasses.

We walked pass the sea of people and stop when we reached their table. Nakaupo doon ang dalawang lalaki at may kasama itong dalawang babae.

"C'mon Ian, I wanna go there, please? Please?" The one girl said. So this is Saveena. Masyado pa ngang bata ang kapatid nitong babae. She's so childish.

"Nah, you're going to stay here." The guy said. He's face is not familiar. Pero magkamukha sila ni Caius.

"It's my first time in a club, this is for once, hayaan mo na 'ko, please? I'll do anything, please." she begged.

"Then shut up." The girl pouted saka nagmukmok sa gilid. I chuckled. She look so cute, iba ang mukha niya sa mukha nila Caius. Maybe dahil sa siya lang ang babae, mana siguro sa mama or papa nila. Para lang siyang 16 years old. How can a minor got in to this club?

We sat on the chair.

"Guys, my girlfriend, Elli." pakilala sakin ni Caius. Shein smiled at me. He even shake hands with me. I already kniw hi, since nakasama ko rin naman siya sa iisang table sa iisang bar.

"Shein Quille Herris, but call me Quille." tumango ako dito. I looked at his girlfriend. Nakatitig lang din ito sa akin kanina pa.

"Saveena Victory Herris, pleasure to meet you Elli." she smiled. I awkwardly smiled at her back. Binalingan ko ng tingin si Caius saka bumulong dito.

"She's Saveena?" I curiously asked. He looked at me with a most stupid reaction that made me really feel like I'm stupid.

"Whatcha think dummy." I rolled my eyes on him.

And here I am really thought that that little innocent girl is the Saveena.

"Killian Morrow Herris milady, and this is my wife, Maeve Harper." the last guy introduced. My jaw literally dropped on what he said.

Asawa niya yung batang 'yon? Looks like the girl blushed saka iniwas ang tingin. Nagpapanggap parin itong nagtatampo.

"Hi." bati ko dito. She rolled her eyes on me saka siniksik ang sarili sa likod ni Killian. Really? She's just a girl.

"They're an arranged marriage, future to be husband and wife just like us, ang pinagkaiba nga lang, pinilit sa kanila ang isa't isa." bulong sakin ni Caius.

"Tragic." Mahinang sabi ko.

"It's not a big deal anyway. Killian doesn't have someone kaya ng pinakilala sa kanya si Eve, parang wala rin sa kanya." he said.

"How old is she?" I asked.

"16, and since sa mga Herris din ang club na 'to, she got in." mahina akong tumango. So that explains why.

Their love life is tragic. What a great mess I got into.
