CHAINED

CHAPTER 15

“What the fuck are you talking about, Valerian?!” it was his brother on the phone. “‘Yan na nga ba ang sinasabi ko kaya ayaw kong lumalabas ka sa Isla!” dagdag pa nito.

Valerian sighed. “He was the one that asked me and I’m not letting this opportunity slip away.” he replied with a smirk.

“Are you seriously fooling yourself?” Vartin asked on the phone. “If he finds out what you’re doing, tignan natin kung hindi ka niyan ipakulong.”

Valerian ended the call and clenched his jaw. Hindi niya mapigilan ang galit niya sa kapatid. It was just a small thing to help him have Cayle. Hindi naman ito big deal.

“This is the drug?” tanong ni Valerian kay Lemuel habang nasa bar sila at inabutan siya nito ng isang paketeng kulay puting powder.

Lemuel nodded and took a sip on his beer. “Ingat ka lang, malakas ang tama niyan kaya paunti-unti lang ang ilagay mo, baka ma-overdose ka.” pabiro pang saad nito. “When did you start using drugs? Akala ko ba ayaw mong tumulad sa Kuya mo?” sunod-sunod na tanong ng kaibigan.

“This isn’t for me.” sagot ni Valerian habang nakatitig sa stage kung saan may mga nagsasayaw na mga bakla.

Lemuel smirked. “Hmm, for Cayle Satrian?” tanong ng kaibigan niya at tumango naman siya. “You’re sick, bakit mo naman siya dodrogahin?”

“Hindi na ako kontento sa pagsulyap lang sa kaniya mula sa malayo,” sagot ni Valerian habang humihithit ng sigarilyo. “I want to hold him, taste him and make him mine.”

Lemuel cleared his throat. “You’re forgetting something, mukhang mahihirapan ka ata diyan sa plano mo.” anang kaibigan at itinuro ang isang lalaki na nasa stage at nagsasayaw ng malaswa. “That’s Cayle’s friend, Yael, I heard that he’s very protected over him after Cayle got out of a toxic relationship.”

“Who cares about that whore?” tanong ni Valerian at humigpit ang kapit sa baril na nasa beywang niya. “Cayle is mine, and whoever stands in my way either die or be burried alive.”

“Just be careful, man.” payo sa kaniya ni Lemuel at ngumiti. “Hmm, how about I take care of Yael for you?” tanong nito sa kaniya.

Valerian smirked. “I didn’t know that you like whores now, Lem.” pagbibiro niya.

“Sino ‘yung kausap mo?” tanong ni Cayle sa kaniya nang lumabas ito para lapitan siya.

Valerian gulped when he saw Cayle wearing his white polo. “Vartin,” he smiled at Cayle. “I like what you’re wearing, precious. It makes me want to fuck you more.” he replied and smirked.

Gustong-gusto niyang sunggaban si Cayle pero hindi niya magawa. Pinipigilan niya ang sarili niya dahil ang alam ni Cayle ay mabuting tao siya. And for Valerian, it should stay that way.

“You wanna eat?” alok niya rito at umiling naman si Cayle pagkatapos ay niyakap siya. “Oh? Why?” sunod-sunod na tanong niya habang nakangiti.

“Wala,” ani Cayle at tumingin sa kaniya habang magkayakap sila. “I just don’t know why I feel so obsessed about you.”

Nakarinig si Valerian ng mga yabag papalapit sa kanila kaya agad niyang itinago si Cayle sa likuran niya dahil sa suot nitong damit.

“Sir Dev, malapit na ho tayo sa daungan.” ani Manong Freddo kaya tumango na lang siya.

Valerian smiled at the guy. “Okay, we’ll prepare. You can leave now.” utos niya at umalis naman agad ang matanda.
