My Nerd Mafia Queen

Chapter 11: Why do I feel this way?

Chapter 11

Iris Pov

Tinatahak na namin ang daan pauwi sa mansion ko, wala na akung nagawa ng sabihin ni Zeke na gusto niya daw ako ihatid.

Tahimik akung naka tunghay ngayon sakanya habang nag mamaneho siya, I'm just silently observing him.

'He's changed a lot since the last time I saw him' I mumbled to myself. He became more buff, ang laki din ng itinangkad niya he's like 6'2 ft now, he's the perfect definition of "Tall not so dark and handsome".

He also got tattoos all over his upper body part even his both arms have full sleeves of tattoos that made him even more appealing 'Oh god Iris stop what you're thinking!!!' Pa-galit ko na sermon sa sarili ko.

Hindi ko napansin na masiyado na pala akung matagal na naka tingin sakanya, when he suddenly said...

"Stop staring at me like that mi amor baka bigla ko i-hinto itong sasakyan." Pag sasabi ni Zeke na para bang nahihirapan sa pag tit*g ko sakanya.

"Oh I'm sorry I'm just looking at your tattoos" pag si-sinungaling ko, umaasa na sana hindi siya maka-halata na mula ulo hanggang paa ang tinitignan ko sakanya.

Napa ayos naman ako agad ng upo, pero bigla akung nagulat ng bahagya ng biglang abutin ni Zeke ang kamay ko at dahan dahan dinala sa labi niya para mahalikan ang likod ng palad ko.

'Shocks! ano ba itong ginagawa mo Zeke!'

"You can look at them any time you want mi amor, but please not while I'm driving cause I can't help to look back at you too hmm" napa tigil naman ako sa sinabi ni Zeke na tila nag lalambing pa.

I'm still quite confused on what I feel right now, lahat ito bago sa akin, ibang iba na siya ngayon sa kung ano yung pag-kaka kilala ko sakanya noon.

I really want to make sure kung ano ba talaga ang nararamdaman ko para sakanya, bago ko i-reciprocate sakanya yung mga gestures na ginagawa din niya sakin.

And besides this is the first time I'm experiencing all of this, ayoko din mag pa dalos dalos.

"Alright.." tipid na sagot ko sakanya, trying real hard to compose myself.

Maka lipas lang ang ilang minuto nakarating na din kami sa mansion.

"Wait for me.." biglaang usal ni Zeke ng bubuksan ko na sana ang pinto ng sasakyan niya. Mabilis din naman siya lumabas para mapag buksan ako ng pinto at ma-alalayan.

"Thanks Zeke" malumanay na baling ko sakanya, isang ngiti naman ang sinagot niya sa akin.

"Do you want to come inside for a coffee Zeke?"

I don't want to be rude, kahit na gusto ko na talaga mag pahinga. He's my fiancee now, that's why I invited him for a coffee wishing na sana tanggihan nalang niya.

"I would really love to stay for a while mi amor, but I'll also want you to take a rest. Masiyadong marami ang nangyari ngayong gabi alam ko pagod ka na and besides it's almost 1am already, you need to rest" mahabang sagot ni Zeke sa akin while looking at me directly na ikina hinga ko ng maluwag.

Bago pa ko maka sagot sakanya bigla naman ulit siya nag salita.

"Uhmm Iris?" may pag aalinlangan niyang tawag sa akin.

"Yes Zeke? May sasabihin ka ba?"

"I-i just want to ask if I can get your number? so that I can personally contact you anytime kung okay lang sayo?" he's stammering while saying this to me and I find it cute, but I still remained calm and composed.

'Zeke cannot know that I'm happy about this' what? I'm happy?! No Iris!!!

"Of course give me your phone" I commanded him, he immediately handed me his phone at nilagay ko naman agad ang number ko dito.

"Here that's my number" nakita ko naman ang pag ngiti niya, and that's a very genuine smile.

This is the first time I ever gave my personal number to someone. Tanging si Alister at Tito Geo lang ang nakaka alam ng personal number ko and now pati na din si Zeke.

I suddenly stopped ng marinig ko ang phone ko sa clutch na hawak ko na tumu-tunog ang call alert tone.

"I left a missed call so you can also save my number, alright I'll go ahead now you take a rest okay? Can I see you tomorrow? do you have plans?" sunod sunod na tanong niya sakin.

"Yes, you take a rest too, tomorrow? wala naman

why?" I said to him directly.

"Good then, I want to show you around our company tomorrow gusto ko maging familiar ka sa work place ko" he said while smiling at me.

"Alright, see you tomorrow then" maikling sagot ko sakanya.

Binalingan ko naman agad si Alister na nasa hindi kalayuan lang samin.

"Alister ask some of our men to convoy Zeke hanggang makauwi siya" agad naman sumagot si Ali at yumuko.

"Yes madam Franco's unit would be in charge of Don Zeke's well being" I just nodded after hearing what Alister said, papasok na sana ako sa loob ng bahay ng pigilan ako ni Zeke at biglang kinabig ng yakap na ikina tigil ko.

"Thank you, thank you Iris for saying yes to me. I don't really understand how I feel at this moment but one thing's for sure, I will not let anyone hurt you, I'll protect you at all cost starting from now on mi amor" Sabay dahan dahan niyang dinampian ng halik ang noo ko, na tigil ko nalang. Hindi na ko siya nasagot pa sa sinabi niya, pina nood ko nalang siya hanggang sa tuluyang maka alis ito.

"Why do I feel this way?" I silently said to myself while holding my chest, simula ng sabihin iyon lahat ni Zeke sakin at ang pag halik niya sakin na may sobrang pag iingat, hindi na tumigil kaka talon ang puso ko na hanggang ngayon hindi ko pa din maintindihan kung bakit.

Zeke Pov

Alam ko na ikina gulat niya ang ginawa at sinabi ko but I don't care anymore, ngayon lang ako naging ganito sa isang babae sa buong buhay ko and I won't miss every moment of it, lalo na ngayon na officially fiancee ko na si Iris.

"She is really my fiancee now..." I mumbled to myself while driving, binuksan ko ang radio ng sasakyan ko and then nagulat ako sa music na nag play: (Iris by Nathalie Taylor)

"Sh*t she's becoming my world now..." Sabi ko sa sarili ko. After a few minutes nakarating na din ako sa bahay namin 20mns away ito mula sa bahay ni Iris.

Pagka park ko ng sasakyan nakita ko na isa isang humilera ang nasa sampu na tauhan ni Iris na nag convoy sakin pauwi, sabay sabay sila nag bow pag daan ko bago ako bumaling sa napag alamanan kong head ng isa sa mga security team ni Iris.

"Franco you can go now" usal ko dito, sumagot din naman siya agad.

"Don I'm sorry pero kami na po ngayon ina-sign sainyo para masiguro ang kaligtasan niyo utos po ito ni Madam Rossi" hindi na ko nagulat sa sinabi nila alam ko na hindi na ako pu-pwedeng kumontra at baka ika galit pa iyon ng fiancee ko.

"Okay then I'll go ahead." maikling sagot ko sakanya.

Hindi naman na sumagot si Franco yumuko nalang ito bilang pag tugon.

'I guess I need to get used to this...' I said to myself while walking inside our home, may mga tauhan din naman ako pero pag wala ako sa underground hindi ko na sila sina sama dahil alam ko na kaya ko naman protektahan ang sarili ko.

Pero alam kong iba na ngayon, I'm marrying one of the most important person in the world 'Leo is right I'm one god damn lucky man' papasok na ko sa loob ng maalala ko na i-text si Iris para sabihin na nakauwi na ko.

To: Mi amor

I'm already home love.

After I pressed the sent icon, I didn't expecteded her to reply anymore cause I know that maybe she's already fast asleep. But to my surprise my notification suddenly beeped.

From: Mi amor

Good to know, now sleep and take a rest Zeke.

I chuckled 'this woman really wants me to be submissive to her, well I don't mind as long as it's Iris' I mumbled.

To: Mi amor

I will love, you too please sleep already okay? I'll pick you up later this afternoon.

I smiled while waiting for her to reply.

From: Mi amor

Alright, alright. What time will you pick me up?

To: Mi amor

2pm sharp love, I really want to show you my office if that's okay with you?

From: Mi amor

Okay 2pm sharp then, don't be late Zeke. Yes it's okay with me.

I almost forgot ayaw pala ng babae na ito ng late so I really need to be on time or much better a-agahan ko nalang.

To: Mi amor

Yes mi amor I promise I won't be late. See you later.

After my last message to her she didn't reply anymore, bago ako matulog I placed an alarm on my phone at 11:30am that's enough time para makapag prepare pa ko before I picked her up.
