Got Me Captive (Got Me #1) | ✓

Nang makalabas ng mall ay hinintay ko pa muna ng ilang minuto si Eros sapagkat may kalayuan din ang lugar sa kung nasaan ang lugar namin.

Hindi rin ako sigurado kung nasaan ang main entrance na sinasabi ko dahil sa pambihirang laki ng mall na ito. If I were to look at a map, the size of this was thrice the size of a standard mall. Parang tatlong mall na ipinagdikit-dikit ang lugar na kinatatayuan ko.

Unlike malls in Italy, malls in this country were mostly modernized.

Hindi naman nagtagal ay nakarating na rin siya at nagpahatid na muna ako sa unit bago dumiretso kung saan ang pupuntahan namin.

I changed outfit from all black to all white. Inayos ko ang pagkakaipit ng buhok ko at napatingin sa aking kabuuan. Nadepina lalo ang katawan ko sa purong kulay puti na suot na halos kasing kulay na ng aking mapusyaw ko na balat. Though, my skin has a kind of red undertone.

Nilisan ko ng kwarto at nakita ang pinsan na may nilalagok na naman na kung ano sa fridge ko.

"You'll pay for my grocery this week. Ang lakas mong kumuha ng kung ano sa fridge ko, hindi mo naman pinapalitan. I told you I don't want to spend a buck here," untag ko.

"You're just letting these goods expire, anyway. . . What's with the white outfit?"

Hindi ko siya pinansin dahil alam kong alam niya ang isasagot sa tanong niya. For years, he knows what these colors signifies my intention and simply. . . me.

Agad na kaming bumaba sa parking tsaka pinaharurot na iyon papunta sa club kung saan nadetenido ang pakay naming puntahan ngayong araw.

"Did Posadaz tell you something about where he brought you earlier?" he asked all of a sudden.

"Does it matter?"

He laughed. "Oh my. . . you knew, don't you?"

My brows furrowed. "About what?"

"I made a research about your man—"

"Could you stop with that?! Kung ayaw mong humihingang makarating sa pupuntahan natin ay mananahimik ka, Thierry. Stop pissing me off today or so help me God, I won't think twice shooting my own blood. . ."

"Alright, chill the eff out. . . I made some research about that Gunther Posadaz. . . He really is a real deal in this country, how come you don't know?"

"Spare me the rhetorical question, what is it? He owns the restaurant we went to earlier? Shocking, at his age, he owns multiple stores. . . News flash, he owns a tiny coffee shop, too," I said sarcastically.

He smirked. "He owns the mall, Xandra. Did you know that that's the first ever mall here and his family ever established for God knows how many decades and still manage to be the top most uproarious market ever built in this country?"

Pinroseso ko iyon at tigalgal naman akong napatingin sa kaniya.

"Stai cagando. . ." You're shitting.

"I wish I am. . . The research did not disclose anything about their organization but providing the facts I've garnered, he's got a nonshitting rank in that fraternity. . . Hasn't he mentioned anything regards that?"

Napaisip din ako sa sinabi niya. No, he has not. Hindi ko alam kung wala lang kaming oras para pag-usapan iyon o ano.

"From the looks of you, he hasn't. . . Very well, he's a humble man, then. . ." he uttered.

The whole ride, I was just ruminating about his achievements and his status here.

Hindi naman iyon ang bagay na dapat kong katakutan ngunit sa kung ano siya ay dapat kong bigyan iyon ng ingat at respeto. But it seems like, he doesn't give my actions a big shit to handle.
