DEAGON

"What kind of food is this, huh?" asked Sie to Alli while holding the skin of the chicken.

Alli smiled and pointed the chicken, Sie was holding. "Ang tawag diyan ay proven. Parang proven na...love mo 'ko. Hihi." she fired.

Tss. Is that how they date?

I was sitting on the couch but my eyes are on them. Who happened to be in the dining table, happily eating while talking about nonsensical matters.

...for me.

"Tikman mo, Sie. Thatʼs delicious!" Alli exclaimed cheerfully.

I winced the moment Sie took a bite on the proven and chew it carefully.

Little did Alli knows, Sie hated chicken and any particular part of it. And he, for all I know, was just preventing himself to vomit and run towards the bathroom to thrown up, tss.

Too worry for possible outcomes, huh? Great, La Galliene. Damn, great.

"Masarap, hindi ba? Hehe," Alli asked, trying to hide her flirt.

Sie smiled awkwardly and get his water before consuming the contents of it 'til the last drop.

I smirked. "...allergy ka mamaya, bro." I commented underneath and shook my head a bit.

Instead of lending all my attentions to the both of them, Iʼd choose to leaned on the headrest of the couch and busy myself typing in my laptop.

But I can still hear them talking loudly, causing my forehead to creased due to annoyance. Decidedly, I stood up and was ready to go upstairs when suddenly Andi appeared in this house!

Another annoying, tsk.

I glanced at my cousin and Alli whoʼs busy with one another then back to Andi. I gave her emotionless look. "What are you doing in here?" I asked.

She smiled scarcely. "...I-Iʼm, uh...looking for Alli? Kasi, h-hindi kami okay and I want us to be okay. Now. As in now. Na saan ba siya?" she asked. "...and Sie? M-May sasabihin din kasi ako." she added, full of hesitations.

I donʼt really care if she is pretending that she is damn okay after knowing that Alli and I are living on the same roof. But, I am damn aware that sheʼs into me.

And base on what I am seeing? Sheʼs a bit awkward 'cause of my presence. She doesnʼt expect that my face would welcomed her the minute she had entered this house.

Typical reactions of a woman whoʼs inlove, tss.

Iʼm not that dense, though.

I glance at the dining then back to Andi. "Theyʼre on a date, tss. Go, talk to your bestfriend." I said and made my first step to leave her but she suddenly held my hand causing me to stop and looked at her, uninterested. "What?" I asked.

She gulped and removed her hands unto the hold. "T-Totoo bang bodyguard ka ni Alli?" she asked.

Sheʼs trying to conceal her pain and disappointment with what she needed to confirm from me but she failed.

"Yeah," I answered. "Got a problem with it?"

She smiled, a fake one, and shook her head. "...n-none. N-Nagulat lang. Hindi mo din kasi nabanggit---"

I cut her off and smrked. "Do I need to tell you? Are you even belong to those people that matters to me, huh?" I sarcastically asked.

She was taken a back. I saw how her eyes glittered but with the essence of her tears. "A-Ah, kasi---" she stammered.

I stared at her seriously. "Never assume, Miss Andrada. I hate assuming woman. And please, donʼt ever speak to Alli in a surly manner. Kinda, irritating. " I ended and finally left her.

The moment I reached my room, I heaved a deep sigh and went straight to my bathroom.

An hour or so, I went out and dressed up. I am planning to stay in my room the longer but my mind isnʼt at peace, knowing that Siegfried and Alli were together, just downstairs!

Fuck this.

Moreover, I am her bodyguard so basically and technically, I should be there as well wherever she is and whoever she is with, right?

Fuck again. Itʼs my duty, yes, but she is having a lunchdate with my cousin. And I donʼt really think itʼs damn appropriate that I am torturing myself.

Fuck again.

In the end, I chose to go downstairs to check them. As well as, if Andi is still here. And I want to kiss the floor 'cause I did not see Andi. Tsk.

I was about to go straight on the dining when Alli appeared in front of me, wearing an irritated expression and the same time, dismayed?

What have I done this time, huh?

Just then, I realized that Siegfried is not around now. Maybe, he decided to leave after his lunchdate with Alli. And I bet, he is driving so damn fast on the way back to home just to vomit!

That thought made me smirked.

"Nagagawa mo pang ismiran ako, Gon? Hoy! Baka nakakalimutan mo---may atraso ka pa sa akin! Tapos kanina, nagpunta dito si Andi at ang matindi pa---kung ano-anong sinabi mo sa kaibigan ko! Nag-iisip ka ba, huh?! Tao iyon at may nararamdaman, hindi gaya mo!" she reproved.

I stared at her face instead of thinking and minding what she had said about her bestfriendʼs pain.

I am damn aware that she is gorgeous, appealing, seductive and sexy but thereʼs something more than those.

And I canʼt fucking figured out what was missing in the complete puzzle...

She then moved closer to my distance and pushed my shoulder a bit. "Ano?! Tititigan mo na lang ako, ganoʼn ba?! Baka may gusto kang sabihin, Gon!" she yelled again and the damn worst, itʼs in my face.

"Ikaw...gusto ko." I said at the back of my mind.

What she wanted to imply is not on the list of my care. All I care is...how beautiful she is in front of me. Closer to me and I can even smell her sweet scent. Fuck.

...damn addictive.

"Ano ba, Gon?! Mag-sorry ka sa kaibigan ko! Ngayon din! Napakawalang kwenta mong tao, alam mo ba 'yon, huh?!"

I donʼt really care about her care. All I know and I want to know, how do I appeared in her eyes, if she is not mad nor annoyed at me.

Am I the worst in her eyes, while Siegfried appeared as the best? Damn it.

I feel like I am trapped into something I canʼt really determined! I donʼt even understand what she was talking and ranting 'cause all I could understand, she is so cute and at the same time beautiful right now while nagging and yelling at me, ceaselessly.

Alli sighed out of desperations. She even looked at nowhere to prevent herself from doing something unfavorable. "Para akong tanga sa harapan mo, goodness. Huwag na huwag mo din akong makakausap-usap, leche ka. Tabe!" she said and shoved me so she can walk past through me.

The moment she entered her room, thatʼs when I decided to followed her. Good thing, she didnʼt lock her room so I could manage to made an access.

She was a bit surprised after seeing me entered her room without consent, but she just raised her brow at me instead of yelling again.

I sighed and shoved all the thoughts, building up in my mind. "I-Iʼm sorry, Alli. I just canʼt speak yet a while ago 'cause it can aroused your madness and wrath against my deeds. I donʼt want another fight with you, so I remained silent." I explained.

She let out an amused sigh. "Talaga lang, huh? Talaga ba, Gon? Alam mo...nakakapagtaka lang na naging pinsan ka nila Sie at Ace, e. Want to know why? Kase...sila may mga puso at may tinatagong care samantalang ikaw wala---"

I cut her off. "Never compare my capabilities and traits with my cousins. We were born differently. And no one must do judgment without knowing the real identity on one person, young lady." I remarked.

She gulped upon realizing the fact. And I wonʼt be surprised if she would realized as well, the impact of what I have remarked.

And I couldnʼt help myself, feeling how my chest felt spasm. And how it...tightened in an instant.

Damn it.

She diverted her gaze. "M-Matutulog muna ako. Lumabas k-ka na muna," she said then that she is fixing her bed.

And I did. I turned my back at her and walk approaching the door but I stopped for a sec just to fired something that would surely made realization for her towards me and her sudden judgment.

"Matatanggap ko pa na ikinukumpara ako ng ibang tao sa kanila, pero noong ikaw mismo ang nangumpara? Masakit na,"

Then I left her room with tightened chest, fuck.
