OWNED by a POSSESSIVE GREEK

Ika Labing Lima- Court

“Ate, where are my cousins?” Tanong ko sa isa naming helper. Magkakasabay kasi talaga kaming pumapasok lahat, since halos mag kaka- pareha kami ng oras ng first subject, Mali an nalang Kay Kuya Yvo na medyo tanghali ang first subject.

I got bored waiting for them, usually kasi tatawagin nalang ako ng helper namin pag nasa sasakyan na ang mga pinsan ko or misan dinadaanan ako ni Yckos or Azalea to tell me na aalis na kami. But right now, they are late on our usual meet up time kaya naisipan ko nang bumaba.

“Miss kanina pa sila nakaalis.” sagot nito.

“Huh? Bakit hindi nyo ko tinawag?” naguguluhan kong sabi.

Napakamot ng ulo ito at bago pa makasagot ay may sumagot na para sakanya.

“Your cousins said that you’re not riding with them..” Grandma appeared from the library.

“Granny, good morning po.”bati ko sabay halik sa pisngi ng maganda kong lola, she looks young sa edad nyang 70..

“Iniwan po nila ako?” Nagtataka kong tanong.

“Silly..of course not.” naiiling na sabi nito sabay tawa ng makita ang pagkalito sa mukha ko. “They just said that you’re not riding with them because you are going to ride with that Young man.” She teased sabay turo sa may living room area kung saan may nakaupo ang Griyegong may Grey na mata.

When are eyes met, he winked at me and gave me his signature killer smile that almost melted my annoyance.

Umagang umaga, nasira agad Ang araw ko. Kung pwede ko lang syang irapan ginawa ko na, but Grandma might not like that..she wants us to be always nice to our visitors.

“Dmitri.” I said sharply that made him chuckle. I heard my grandma laugh behind me.

“I’ll go ahead, hahanapin ko pa ang Grandpa mo..”Granny said before she kissed me. “Hijo, ikaw na ang bahala sa aking apo.”

“Don’t worry Granny, I’ll keep her safe.” He said before he winked at Granny. Natatawa naman na lumabas si Granny.

“Ohh.. kids these days..” she said. “I missed being young.”

Nang makaalis na si Granny ay nakataas kilay ko syang tiningnan, the boyish grin is still on his face.

“Anong trip mo?”

“Ikaw?” halata ang pag pipigil nyang ngumiti.

“What?”

“Ikaw..”turo nya sakin. “Ang trip ko!” he said before he winked at me.

I’m not sure if this is the real Silas that I am dealing, malayong malayo sa seryosong Silas.

“Funny.” I rolled my eyes and he just laughed at me.

Mabilis nyang kinuha ang gamit ko sabay hawak sa kamay ko at hinila ako palabas ng parking.

“Excuse me? Why are you holding my hand?” tanong ko sabay bawi sa kamay ko na hindi ko naman magawa since para bakal ang kamay nyang nakahawak sa kamay ko.

“Tss..stop struggling woman, sakin din naman bagsak mo.” bubulong bulong nyang sabi na narinig ko naman.

“What? Naka drugs ka ba?”

“Yep.”

“Huh?” Napahinto ito ng lakad at humarap sakin.

“Nakadrugs ako..” he said i a serious voice. “You are my drug and got addicted by you.” he said before he winked at me and dragged me into his car without giving me time to react.

I don’t know what’s happening anymore. These past few days had been dominated by the Greek Guy. And I can’t do anything to stop him.. He is full of surprises, and he loves to catch me off guard!

Tapos may mga pa banat pa sya!

Nang makapasok ako ng sasakyan ay nilagay ko agad ang seatbelt ko, matapos ay nanahimik ako. I felt his stare on every movement I make but I just ignored him, I don’t even know why I had to ride with him. It’s not as if we don’t have a car! I don’t get why my cousins are like tolerating this guy to do what he wants. I am so disappointed especially with Kuya Yvo!

“I will pick you up later after school. We will have dinner first before I drop you home.” he said in a serious tone.

Mabilis akong napabaling sakanya.

“Huh? Why?” Taka kong tanong. He just shrugged as if what he said is normal.

“I want to spend time with you, I missed you..I wasn’t able to spend time with you for the last two months.” He said in a matter of fact.

Napahinga ako ng malalim. I tried to calm down. Walang mangyayari pag pinairal ko ang galit ko.

“And so?” Takang tanong ko. “Why do you need to spend time with me? It’s not as if I’m your girlfriend or something!” Mariin kong sinabi na ikinabuntong hininga nya.

“Then you should say Yes to me now. So, it will be official.” nakangisi nyang sabi na para bang iyon ang pinaka normal na sagot.

“Huh?! Why? Are you even courting me?”

Shit! I should not have said that! I pursed my lips and looked away but what he said next made me look at him.

“I am courting you right now.” He said then his brows furrowed and I literally froze. “Am I not?” Nagtataka nyang sabi. Tapos ay napahawak sya ng batok. “I actually haven’t courted anyone before, so I am not sure if I am doing the right thing..” bulong nya.

Halos mapanganga ako sa sinabi nya.

Silas North Dmitri is courting me?

Why am I not informed? Or is this part of his game?

“Why?” I asked him.

“Why, what?” he asked back, lumingon sya saakin.

”Eyes on the road.” Sabi ko at mabilis syang tumingin sa harap. “Why do you want to court me?”

He chuckled.

“Because you are MINE.” He said it without blinking, he said it like it is the most usual thing to say.

Napasinghap ako sabay pilig ng ulo ko.

I think he is not just Bipolar? He might also be delusional?

He is crazy. Sayang he is hot pa naman.

“Says who?” pagpatol ko sa kalokohan nya.

“Me.” Maangas nyang sabi. His smirk is really annoying me.

“Well, news flash Dmitri, No one owns me.. meaning I am not yours!” I raised my eyebrows at him and to my surprised tumawa lang sya.

“Well, Agape Mou..I’ll make sure time will come and you’ll shout to the word that you are just mine. I’ll make sure of it.”

Makahulugan nyang sabi, bago hininto ang sasakyan sa Parking ng University.

I did not even notice that we are already here.

Pinagbuksan nya ako ng pinto at kinuha ang ilan kong gamit. Nang makalabasa na ako nang sasakyan ay hinarangan nya ang daanan ko at hinawakan ang baba ko para mapatingala ako sakanya.

“The moment I saw you in the bar, I have already staked my claim. You are mine. Just mine, remember that Agape Mou.” He said with his usual accent followed by his evil smile that made me suck my breath.

”So make sure you stay away from boys because you will not like it when I am mad.” Banta nya na ikina singkit ng mata ko.

”Don’t threaten me, you have no rights..” I said coldly, I removed his hand from my chin and walked away.

How dare him! Ako pa hinamon nya? Well sorry sya pero I am not the submissive girl that he is hoping for. Like what I have said, I had my fair share of being playful way back at New York, I know his game, I know his moves…so he cannot make me follow him that easily.
