My Make-Believe Boyfriend College Hottie Series : Bobby and Ashley

Chapter 37 : Wish Granted

ASHLEY

AKKI ELISEO'S LIPS twitched up in one corner. "Should I take your word for it?" he fondly asked. His eyes even glinted with mischief na para bang meron kaming secret na sini-share sa isa't-isa.

Sasagot sana ako pero may nauna nang nagsalita sa akin.

"Stay away from my girl, Eliseo..."

Shit! Ito na nga ba ang sinasabi ko, sabi ko sa isip.

Tumingin ako sa papalapit na si Bobby. His focus was on Akki, narrowing his eyes on him. I could see from his dreamy eyes that he was pissed

Oh, shit. Here we go again.

Bobby put a possessive arm around me when he stood beside me. Na para bang aagawin ako sa kanya ni Akki kapag hindi niya iyon ginawa. Na parang bang kailangan niya akong proteksyonan mula kay Akki.

Kaswal lang na mula sa akin, inilipat ni Akki ang tingin nito kay Bobby. "I am keeping my personal space from Ashley, Gallego," he said casually.

Bigla naman akong na-tension. Lalo pa at nakita kong gumalaw ang muscles sa panga ni Bobby.

Noon, akala ko masarap sa pakiramdam na pinag-aawayan ka ng dalawang lalaki. Lalo pa at ng isang Robert Aldus Gallego at Achilles Eliseo na pawang mga sikat, gwapo, mayaman at kilala ang pamilya.

Parang feeling ko ay ang ganda-ganda ko.

Pero hindi pala masarap sa pakiramdam. Nakaka-tension pala.

"I don't want just your personal space away from my girl, Eliseo. I want distance-far away distance," mariing sabi ni Bobby. Naramdaman kong mas hinapit pa ako ni Bobby palapit sa kanya na parang bang anumang minuto ay aagawin ako sa kanya ni Akki.

Akki's eyes narrowed on Bobby's possessive hand over my shoulder. It was obvious that Akki did not like it.

Then Akki smirked. "You cannot dictate me whom I will keep or will not keep my personal space from, Gallego. Nobody can," authoritative na sabi ni Akki.

Nagsukatan sila ng tingin. Sizing up each other. Mas matangkad si Bobby kay Akki pero hindi nangangahulugan niyon na lamang na si Bobby. They were just equal.

Bobby was pissed off. Palaban naman ang ekspresyon ng mukha ni Akki.

Hindi ko naman malaman ang gagawin. Naunahan ako ng tension. It was hard when two strong personalities clashed. Both rich and famous in their own right

Eksaktong napatingin si Jacob sa direksyon ko. Nagpapasaklolong sumenyas ako kay Jacob at inginuso sina Bobby at Akki.

Kumunot ang noo ni Jacob. Bahagya niyang tinapik sina Andrew at Ryan sa balikat. Napatingin sila sa direksyon namin at pagkatapos ay lumapit.

My six remaining handsome wards walked to my rescue.

"Is there something wrong, Bob? Akki?" tanong ni Jacob at parehong tinapik ang dalawa sa balikat. Alam kong hindi na kailangan ng introductions between Akki Eliseo and Jacob Maravilla. Sikat sila sa NUAP bilang atleta. And their families were well-known in the business world.

Nakahinga naman ako ng maluwag. Jacob was like the peacemaker. Pareho lang ang tonong ginamit niya sa dalawa maski na best friend niya ang involved rito.

"Oh, nothing, Cobi," ani Bobby at ngumisi. Saglit lang siyang tumingin kay Cobi at ibinalik ang naiinis na tingin kay Akki. "Nothing that I can't handle, believe me."

There was an edge in Bobby's voice. A warning. Na parang ipinatutungkol niya kay Akki.

Akki cocked an eyebrow at Bobby. I could see in his expression that he was also pissed.
