Ruled by the Blaze (The Unwanted Marriage)

Patricia's POV (Continuation...)

"I said let's go, Patricia"

Doon lang ako napabalikwas at napalingon kay Callum na naghihintay sa'kin.

He's waiting for me but his eyes was focused on Raven. Tila pinapatay na niya ito sa utak niya.

"Uh.. A-Alis na ako R-Raven.."

Raven looked at me with his furrowed brows.

"Let's go-"

"You don't have to order her, she will come home whenever she wants" Raven interrupted Callum's words.

My eyes grew bigger when I saw Callum's clenching fist. He seemed annoyed.

"She can handled herself and don't worry, she won't get in trouble here because she's with her friends" Raven continued. The anger on Callum's face became even more visible as Raven touched me as if to prevent me from approaching him. Oh my god! I can't take it anymore!

I looked at Raven's hand in my arm and tried to remove it. "It's okay-"

"That's why I'm picking her up because I'm worried. I thought she's with her friends but it turns out a trash like you"

Callum instantly grabbed my arm makes me to bump into his hard chest. Agad naman niya ako inalalayan ng makita ang pagkabigla ko. "I'm sorry" he whispered to my ears. "Let's go home so we can rest"

Tumingin muli siya kay Raven bago ngumisi, tila nag ngitngit naman doon si Raven. Kahit kinakabahan ay hinawakan ko siya sa braso. Bumaling siya sa'kin.

"Stop it. L-Let's go" I shuttered so I looked away. "We can leave without the both of you arguing"

Iniiwasan ko rin na mapatingin pa kay Raven na nasa harapan ko dahil nahihiya na ako. Baka may makakita pa na kilala sila at kumalat na naman.

Ayaw ko ng madamay.

Tumalikod na ako at agad sumunod si Callum. Nakakahiyang hindi na ako nakabalik pa, siguro itetext ko na lang si Jess para na rin ihatid bukas ang bag ko na naiwan.

Tahimik lang ako habang naglalakad papunta sa sasakyan ni Callum. Dala ko rin ang sasakyan ko pero alam ko naman kung ano ang gagawin niya roon.

"I'm gonna go, bro and Patricia!" nilingon ko ang kaibigan ni Callum at tumango.

Ngayon na kami na lang dalawa ay mabilis akong sumakay sa back seat, rinig ko ang buntong hininga niya bago umikot sa driver's seat.

Nakatingin lang ako sa bintana habang nasa biyahe. I didn't know I would ever experience such intense awkwardness between us in this car again.

My phone vibrated and saw Jess's message.

From: Jess What happened? Mukhang badtrip si Raven, sinundo ka raw ng driver niyo?

Gusto kong matawa sa nabasa.

Raven and Callum's attitude is really a mood. Kung makikita lang ni Callum ang text na ito ay siguradong uusok ang ilong niya.

To: Jess

Stupid, Callum was waiting for me in the lobby and he saw me with Raven. Just tell Kelvin what happened. Thank you.

I hid my phone but it also rang immediately. Jess is calling. Nakangisi at napailing na lang ako ng patayin ang tawag niya dahil alam kong maguusisa lang siya.

My smile disappeared as I looked in the rearview mirror, Callum was also looking there and our eyes met. His forehead was a bit furrowed maybe wondering why I was smiling. Napaayos tuloy ako ng upo bago bumaling ulit sa bintana.

Nang makarating sa bahay ay tuloy-tuloy akong lumabas ng sasakyan papasok sa loob ng bahay. Rinig ko ang malakas na pagsara ni Callum ng sasakyan at pag sunod niya.

"So that is what you call a friends bonding? With that guy?"

Natigil ako sa hagdan dahil sa sinabi niya. Nilingon ko siya at halos manginig ako ng makita ang makisig niya'ng. Nakatayo siya habang nasa baywang ang kamay at seryosong nakatingin sa'kin. Damn! Why does he looks so hot just by simple gesture?

Mabilis akong napailing sa utak ko dahil sa mga naiisip.

"Raven is a friend of Kelvin's cousin-"

"And you seems enjoying his company" umismid siya. "Your happy moments were even cut when I arrived. You even buy more beers-"

"Yes, dahil naubusan na kami ng iinumin. Kelvin requested that, sinamahan lang ako ni Raiven"

I took one step on the stairs as he walked closer.

Hindi ko na nga siya matitigan dahil mas lalong nalakas ang kabog ng dib-dib ko. Are we going to argue with little things again?

"Is that so? Or he's just trying to brain wash you about me?" tumaas ang kilay niya.

"Of course not!"

I already faced him as astonishment formed on my face. Why did he say that? I know he thinks of Raven as an enemy but I won't be able to look at Raven like that because I already know him as a nice person. Yes he's so insistent but he's gentlemen. He didn't show any bad acts to me.

I also remember what daddy told me before. When he found out that Raven was still approaching me, he wanted me to avoid him which I would never do. I have my own mind and I will decide for myself. "Raven is a good guy" sabi ko bago tuluyan na umakyat sa hagdan.

"We need to talk about this. Don't turn your back on me" mariin na sabi niya ngunit hindi ko 'yon pinansin.

Mabilis ang yabag ko at ganoon rin siya. I was about to open my room when he pulled me by my arm.

"What's wrong with you?!" bulalas ko ng iharap niya ako sa kanya.

Hindi mahigpit ang hawak niya sa braso ko pero hindi ko 'yon matanggal. Nanlaki ang mata ko ng hilahin niya ako papunta sa kwarto niya.

"What are you doing?! Fine, we can talk but not in your room-"

"Too late"

He opened his room and immediately let me in. Madilim at tanging liwanag lamang galing sa labas ang mayroon ngunit ng isara niya ang pinto ay tuluyan ng nilamon ng dilim ang paningin ko. "Gosh! It was so dark!" I shouted and I felt him pulling me again.

Hawak niya parin ang braso ko ng buksan niya ang side lamp kaya nakahinga ako ng maluwag. Hindi nga lang masyadong maliwanag at tanging kama lang niya ang naaninag ko kaya mabilis akong umupo roon at isiniksik ang sarili sa pinakadulo.

He started to loosen his neck tie and finally removed it then he opened the buttons of his longsleeve.

Wala sa sariling napalunok ako at unti-unting nanlaki ang mata. W-What the hell is he doing? Is he planning something? No! He can't do that!

"I-I'm leaving-"

"No" he spat after removing his clothes, totally bottom less.

"W-Why?" I asked while shuttering. "I thought we were talking? But... why you're-"

"Sorry, I was about to change into comfortable clothes.."

The sincerity was not obvious to him because he still normally walked to his closet.

Nahilamos ko ang kamay sa mukha bago mahinang ipinadyak ang paa sa sobrang kaba at irita.

"What is that man planning against us?" Callum quickly changed his clothes and stood in front of me.

"Why are you asking me?"

"Because he likes you, obviously" he chuckled.

"He's admiring you since you two are in high school and surely, he's sharing some of his thoughts about our company-"

"There's no connection-"

"It has" he looked at me seriously. "You don't know him. He's a two face ass"

How the hell did he know about Raven's feelings for me? Did he also investigates about it just like what he's doing with daddy? For what? For his conclusions?! "You're too judgemental" I uttered out of frustration. "Raven's intention was pure good and I've known him for years so I can tell when he's lying. He's a good guy"

"See? You're defending him" he mocked while shooking his head. "Well, what do you know about business? It's not because he treats you that way, he treats others the same way. Their family has done a lot of bad things to our company-" "You said yourself, to your family, not mine. Alright, so don't bragged me into your issues with him!"

I stand up and glared at him.

Marahas akong tumalikod ngunit hinila niya na naman ako. This time was intense and full of emotions.

"You're my family now so I'll dragged you into this"

Before I could react, his lips already touch mine...

My hands automatically held to his arm when he deepen the kiss. My eyes were wide open because I was shocked when he made a move that made me tremble.

He put his tongue inside my mouth so I immediately panicked. My hand went to his chest and pushed him away from me.

"Hmm.." I moaned when he licked my tongue then my lower lip. "C-Callum... stop"

He didn't mind my words and he continued showering me kisses to my jaw down to my neck.

Kahit anong gusto kong pag pigil at reklamo sa ginagawa niya ay tila may humihila rin sa'kin papunta sa kanya. Gusto ko siya itulak at sampalin pero hindi ko kaya.

I was too weak.

Tila nalulunod ako sa ginagawa niya lalo na sa mga mata niya na tila nalalasing.

Gosh, what's happening to me?

"Oh... stop!" I commanded as he guided me to sit on the bed. "Callum, pleasee"

"You need to learn your lesson Mrs. Velasquez" he chuckled makes me to bite my lip more.

"You smell so good.." he sniffed my neck down to my tank top while he's slowly removing it.

Fuck!

Ito na ba 'yon? Are we really going to do that? Is this his way to punish me for taking sides with Raven?! Am I ready? Damn, this is my first time!

I just closed my eyes while feeling what he was doing to my body.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Hindi ko alam kung paano niya natanggal ang damit ko pang itaas ng hindi ako nagrereklamo at mas lalong hindi ko maintindihan kung paanong nakahiga na ako sa kama habang nasa ibabaw ko siya. Our eyes locked and all I can see through it was... lust and aggressiveness.

He removed his fitted sando with his own so his biceps and sexy chest was revealed in front of me, nearer.

"It's so hot here..."

Muli niya'ng sinalakay ang labi ko na mas nakapagparamdam sa'kin ng init hanggang sa hindi ko na napigilan ang sarili at sumunod na lang sa haplos niya sa katawan ko....
