The Queenbee's Downfall (On-Hold)

39: The Trouble with the Revelations Part 1

Chapter 39: Not Safe Anymore?

"Tell me... what's bothering you, my Queen?"

Nangiinsulto ba siya o sadyang pinanganak siyang sarcastic talaga ang tono ng pananalita? Nevertheless, his deep and husky voice affected my cool. Even thought it's only a few words, he managed to shut my mouth completely.

Ayan na naman ang malamig na mapanuring mga mata. I can't help but feel really intimidated by his presence. Mabilis kong iniwas ang mga mata nung kagatin niya ang kanyang pang-ibabang labi. The cool breeze of November sent shivers all over my body. Why did I choose to partner up my maroon pants with a black spaghetti strap top? Nasa loob ng sasakyan ang cream cardigan ko.

At ang malala pa ay naka-cotton slippers lang ako ngayon! Mabuti na lang at hindi nakikita ni Heath ang kahihiyang ito. I'm not fond of driving while I'm wearing my heels. I want my feet to breathe before it gets off to war. Pero bakit ko nga ba iniisip kung kaaya-aya ang hitsura ko ngayon? This is my style. My life, my choice.

Besides, pumunta ako dito para komprontahin siya.

"Tama-"

"What?"

Napakurap-kurap ako nung tumaas ang sulok ng kilay niya. Did I just blurted that out? Bahagya kong tinagilid ang mukha ko at malamig siyang tiningnan.

"I want to know something. And I want you to answer my questions, honestly," utos ko.

Hindi siya nagsalita. Nanatili lang siyang nakatingin kaya nagpatuloy ako.

"These past few days, you and your friends were hanging out on our house just because my Mom wanted that to happen. But given our real situation, you should be avoiding me. Dapat ay tinatanggihan mo ang mga alok ni Mommy dahil pwedeng-pwede ko kayong isumbong sa kanya..."

"What's your point?"

How can he ask me that? Is he really not gonna feel scared nor afraid about this confrontation?

"You've killed those men-"

"Shut it."

Nagulat man ako and a little bit lost for words but I quickly regained my composure.

"What do you mean, shut it?! I am talking here about you being a-" this was the time na di na talaga ako makapagsalita dahil panay ang atras ko.

Heath just started walking with heavy footsteps towards me. If it weren't for his long strides I would've been lying on the grass behind me because of my continuous backing up. Naramdaman ko agad ang init ng kamay niya sa likod at bewang ko. My cheeks started burning up as soon as he steadied me.

Out of reflex, I put my hands on his chest, trying to push him away from me. But Heath didn't even budge and shockingly hugged me tight.

"May mga importante ba sa loob ng sasakyan mo?", he asked in a calm manner.

What?! Sobrang lapit niya sa akin, ni hindi man lang niya naisip kung ano ang mararamdaman o iisipin ko tapos 'yan ang tanong niya? Seriously?!

"M-my cardigan..."

"Is there anything else?"

"Chanel shoes-"

"Aside from that-"

"Just let me go and let me be! Wala naman pala akong mapapala sa pagpunta ko rito kung-!" gusto ko pa sanang magsalita pero natahimik na lang ako sa mga salitang binitawan niya.

"Shout again and I will shut your mouth with mine."

Nagsalubong ang mga kilay ko at pinaningkitan siya ng mga mata. The audacity of this man! Anong akala niya sa akin, mapapatahimik niya sa ganoong paraan?!
