THE ADVENTURE OF AUGUST BACK TO EARTH

27. Naughty Cayden

August's POV

You gotta be kidding me! Did he say what? He knows what I'm thinking or he can read what I'm thinking? Is that even normal? Oh hell, how can I even forget that he is not even normal at all. But since when? Wala naman akong napapansin dito o napapaghalataan na nababasa niya iniisip ko. O baka naman ginugoyo lang niya ako?

"Are you shitting me? Ano ka? Si madam auring?" Sarkastikong sagot ko naman rito.

"I wasn't able to before love.... but time goes by, I learn to enhance my skill... and the frustration to know what you are thinking drove me insane. It made a breakthrough on reading your mind. Everyone's mind to be exact." Sagot nito sa akin na.

What the fuck?

"Believe it or not, but I can tell you are cursing in your mind right now."

Double crap! How did it end up like this? Moment ago, nagkakasagutan pa kami and now, I am being revealed!

"No you don't. You are just fishing!" Angil ko dito kahit yung totoo ay naniniwala na ako. I am trying to save my face and grace!

"Why saying things that is opposite with what you're thinking? The guy earlier........ who is he?" Tanong nito at biglang dumilim ang aura nito.

"It's totally none of your business Cayden. I will meet and greet whoever I want and you don't have a say with it." Angil na sagot ko rito. He is being creepy! One moment he teases you then next moment he is angry again! How can even a guy beats a girl's mood swing!? Talo pa may regla.

"But you are my business August! Tell me who is that guy, or I'll hunt him down before you can even say Hello." Banta nito sa akin kaya mas lalo akong nafrustrate.

"Oh di ba? Nababasa mo naman ang isip ko? Then why don't you rummage my mind so that you will know?" Sarkastikong sagot ko rito.

"I am definitely aware that he is your job. But I don't like his ways of getting close to you. If that continues, I may be do something." Sagot nito sa akin na may halong banta pa.

I rolled my eyes. "This is not your jurisdiction, Cayden. Don't do something that will get you in trouble. Don't meddle in our business and you don't have a say with our strategy."

"Luring a monster by baiting a beauty. That's ancient. Too old for a strategy. It's overused already." Saad pa nito na walang habas na minaliit nito ang plano namin. Crap! We are Delta and this is the first time someone says that to my face.

"Excuse me? I don't want your criticism. This is not beauty pageant. Cliché or overused, you don't give a damn, so if you'll excuse me, I have to go now. I still have some work to do and you already wasted my time." Sabay tayo ko at nilagpasan ko si Cayden.

His rudeness came back. He was like that before when I first met him. He was ruthlessly rude like I cannot take it but hate it. Ugali nga naman. Kung ano na talaga ang ugali, mukhang mahirap na baguhin.

Lumabas na ako ng kuwarto at derechong naglakad. Problema ko pa itong suot ko. Wala akong motor. Ano? Maglalakad ako hanggang entrance? Crap.

"Ma'am August?!" Nagulat pa ang isang katulong ng makita ako. Probably they all know I went out earlier for work at nagtataka ito bakit nandito ako sa mansyon ng di nila napapansin ng pagbalik ko.

"May nakalimutan ako kaya bumalik ako." Sagot ko lang dito.

"Hindi ko po nakita sasakyan niyo." Sagot naman nito. Echosera lang.

"Nagcommute ako." Sagot ko din.

"Ay tama, nakamotor nga pala kayo ma'am. Gusto niyo kuha ko kayo ng cab?" Suhestyon pa nito sa akin.
