CNW 51: Couple

Magkahawak kamay kaming bumalik kung saan naiwan ang lahat. No, it's against my will but he insisted. No again, actually he just grabbed my hand and hold it tightly that he didn't let it go up until now that we are in front of them.

Ramdam ko ang matatalas na tingin mula sa kanila— may pinaghalong inis, galit, ngunit karamihan ay nagtataka habang nakatingin sa magkasalikop naming daliri. I averted my gaze as I felt my cheeks burning. Shit, shit, shit.

“Si Nightingale na ba 'yan?” Yvonne asked cautiously. Maingat ang salitang binigkas nito na dahilan upang magtinginan sa amin ang lahat ng may bakas na kuryusidad. Alpha, who's beside me, just nodded.

As of cue, Yvonne suddenly ran to where are we and hug me tight. “You're back!” Sabi nito nang makayakap sa akin. I tried to remove my other hand from Alpha's grip but he just won't let go. Ang nangyari tuloy ay isang kamay ko lamang ang nakayakap sa likod ni Yvonne.

I chuckled. “Hindi naman ako nawala,” At alam ko pa rin ang nangyayari.

She, then, removed her hug and pouted. “Hindi nga, pero iba naman ang gumagamit ng katawan mo kanina.” She stated the fact. “Teka pala, paanong…?” Bumaling ito sa akin, kasabay ng pag iinit ng pisngi ko dahil sa naalala. Then, she looked at Alpha then back to me. And grinned. “Oh..” May halong pang aasar nitong sabi.

Sinimangutan ko lamang sya.

“What's happening?” Dustine came in our view. Bakas ng katanungan ang kanyang mukha habang papalapit sa amin. “And what's with ‘You're back?’ huh?” Then he looks at Yvonne who's now crossing her arms.

“Hindi kasi kayo nakinig sa'kin. I told you that an unknown nephilim was using her body.”

“How can I believe you if you don't even prove it if its true.”

“Hmp!” Tumalikod si Yvonne sa kanya. Ramdam ko talaga ang pagtatampo mula dito. I grinned at them. Ang cute talaga ng mga guild mates ko.

I felt Alpha squeezed my right hand. Bumaling ako sa kanya, saktong hinila nya ako palapit. Kumunot ang noo ko. “What?” I mouthed. He, then, asked for a trade. Kumunot ang noo ko kung bakit.

“Give the scroll to Miss Catnip,” Oh, right. Yvonne's the only one who knows about my ‘mysterious’ disappearance and that someone's using my body.

Hindi ko maiwasang mapatingin sa kanyang pangalan. Totoo nga't kapag naging couple na ay makikita nyo na ang pangalan sa isa't isa. Ngayo'y kitang kita ko ang pangalan nya at sa totoo lang, talagang bumagay sa kanya.

Alpha
(Kyros Trevor Monaghan)
Level 48

Nang mareceive ko iyon ay mabilis kong nitrade kay Yvonne. Nagulat pa nga ito dahil sa biglaang paglabas ng ‘Nightingale's aaking for a trade’ but she accepted it when she saw me nodded at her.

“Kyros, bitaw.” I whispered to Alpha, iyong tama lang na kaming dalawa ang makarinig. I am pertaining to his hold on me, okay?

I saw the side of his lips turned upward, “Again,” He ordered. Kinunutan ko lang sya ng noo. He groaned, annoyed. “Say my name again,” This time, humarap sya sa akin at halos matawa ako ng halos pinalamlam nya ang kanyang mata, which is hindi bagay dahil sobrang manly nyang tao.

“Let my hand go after this?” He nodded. Lumapit ako sa kanya at bumulong. “Kyros Trevor,” I said with my husky voice. Wala lang, gusto ko lang syang pagtripan. I grinned at my thought as I heard him cursed repeatedly under his breath.

“F—ck, baby, just call me by my name when we're alone.” Pakikiusap nya. Nang hindi ako sumagot at pumikit ito ng mariin. “Please.” Mariin nyang sabi. Hindi ko maiwasang matawa dahil halatang napilitan lang ito sa pagsabi ng ‘please’, well, halata naman kasing hindi sya mahilig magsalita n'on.
