Captured and Tainted (SERIE FEROCI 2)

Chapter Eleven

“Hmm...”

Mas iniyakap ko ang mga braso at mga hita ko kay Zakarius. I sniffed his neck and nuzzled my face there. I don't want to get up anymore, I just want to hug him like this.

“Angel,” he whispered. He held my waist, trying to push me gently because I'm hugging him too much.

My eyes widened when I realized something. Agad akong napabangon at lumayo sa kanya. I took my comforter and covered myself with it.

“D-don't get me wrong, you sleepwalker! Niyakap lang kita nang gano'n dahil bigla ka na lang natayo at naglalakad!” agad na sabi ko at dinuro-duro pa siya.

I bit my lower lip, I suddenly want to punch myself right now. Masyado akong na-carried away sa pagyakap sa kanya. Pero totoo namang niyakap ko lang siya nang gano'n dahil bigla na lang siyang natayo at naglalakad. Kaya wala na akong nagawa kundi yakapin siya nang mahigpit, pati legs ko ay pinulupot ko sa baywang niya para lang hindi siya makatayo.

Zakarius didn't say anything, he just blinked twice, maybe he's not aware that he's a sleepwalker. Damn, he's cute but it will be dangerous for him. Paano kung nakalabas siya ng bahay at nasagasaan?

“By the way, what the fuck are you doing here in my house?! Diba I told you na stay away from me? Ano ba ang hindi mo ma-gets do'n?” singhal ko sa kanya.

Zakarius sighed and stroked his hair using his hand. Napaismid na lang ako at umiwas ng tingin sa kanya. I'm still mad at him and I won't forgive him.

“I'm sorry, I was just too drunk last night,” he murmured. I looked at him, namumula nang kaunti ang mukha niya. Dahil siguro sa sobrang kalasingan niya kagabi.

“If you're okay now, then leave. Paglabas ko ng banyo, dapat wala ka na rito,” I said firmly and stood up. Agad akong nagtungo sa banyo at iniwan siya sa kuwarto.

Agad kong tiningnan ang sarili ko sa malaking salamin dito sa banyo. I looked at my face and gently touched my cheeks. My goodness, buti na lang wala akong muta or panis na laway. Nakahinga ako nang maluwag.

I shook my head and gently slapped my face. What the hell am I thinking? I should be mad at him, bakit parang excited pa ako na nandito siya?

No, get a grip of yourself, Angel. I shouldn't fall in his trap again. I'm sure he's just manipulating me, trying to poison my mind. Huh, he won't succeed. I'm Angel Mendoza, I won't get involved with the likes of him anymore. Damn him for confusing me like this.

I spent a lot of time in the bathroom, I made sure I smell good and look pretty as always. I don't know if he's still here kapag lumabas na ako ng banyo, pero maganda na ang sigurado.

Sinuot ko ang robe ko at agad na lumabas ng banyo. Bumagsak ang mga balikat ko nang makitang wala na si Zakarius sa silid ko. I don't know why I'm disappointed, e ako naman ang nagpaalis sa kanya. Nababaliw na rin yata talaga ako.

I just shrugged off and wore something nice. I wore a off-shoulder blouse and paired it with a palazzo pants. Cassian said I can take a rest for today but I still want to wear nice clothes. Kahit mag-isa lang ako gusto ko palagi pa ring maganda ang suot ko. I don't know why, siguro maarte lang talaga ako.

“Damn that man, he really left. Ni hindi man lang nagpaalam,” I murmured while applying minimal make up on my face.

Lumabas ako ng kuwarto pagkatapos kong mag-ayos at dumiretso sa kusina ngunit natigilan ako sa nadatnan ko.

“What the hell are you still doing here, Zakarius?!”

I put my hands on my waist and glared at him. Zakarius turned his gaze at me shortly, pero agad niya ring ibinalik ang atensyon sa niluluto.
