OWNED by a POSSESSIVE GREEK

Ika Limampo- Tumakas

“Omg!” My eyes widened. I sucked my breath.

“Surprise!” he said with a teasing smile.

Maligaya akong tumawa. I opened my arms and threw myself to him. He laughed with my excitement and hugged me back. I cannot believe that he is here! Parang mag ka video call lang kami nung isang araw at nasa Spain pa sya that time!

But my excitement was short lived, I froze when I realized something! My cousins are all here and hindi ko pa nasasabi ang tungkol kay Paris! The boys are already drunk and they might react violently since they are not in their normal self! For sure magkakagulo!

I immediately pushed him, and despite of the dim lights I saw the confusion on his handsome face.

I reached for his hand to at least make him relax as I turned to look at Azalea.

“Lei!” I called her and I’m not surprised to see her glaring at Paris. Nilapitan ko sya para madinig nya ang sasabihin ko dahil nangingibabaw ang tugtog. “Please cover for me! Just make an excuse pag hinanap nila ako! They cannot see Paris! They cannot see us together! Just ask for Ycko’s help!” I said before I stepped back. I know that Yckos got my back!

Azalea’s eyes are wide. Mukhang hindi ito sang ayon, umiling iling pa ito! I know that it is not an easy task but I have no choice, she and Yckos are the only ones who can help me.

“Cass! Magagalit sila! Lalo na si Kuya Yvo!”

“I know! But they will go ape if they see Paris!”

“Then, let him leave!” walang prenong sabi nito. Good thing nasa likod ko sa Paris at malakas ang tugtog, I know that he cannot hear us!

“Azalea! Please?”I begged.

Instead of saying anything she just rolled her eyes at me and glared at Paris! She knows that she has no choice!

“Thank you!Babawi ako!” I said loudly before I kissed her cheeks then pulled Paris out of the dance floor. As we walked towards the exit, I kept on praying and hoping that no one will see us leave! This should be a happy night! I don’t want to ruin the fun, lalo first bonding ito nila Kuya Evans at ng mga pinsan kong lalaki after a long time!

As we walked towards the exit, I felt eyes watching us, but I did not bother to look because I’m afraid that those eyes belonged to one of my cousins! I just hope that it is Yckos’. Luckily we were able to go out of the bar safely, and we walked away from that bar.

“Why didn’t you tell me that you have arrived?!” I asked him as we walked on Bonifacio highstreet. I love the ambiance here at BGC, I love that I feel safe here, and the beauty of this place attracts tourists, I also have noticed a lot of foreigners and employees here for this is a business district, so most people here are professionals.

“How can it be a surprise if I informed you?” he smirked and I pouted.

One of Paris’ favorite things to do is to surprise me. He loves surprises!

“How did you even know that we were at that club?” Taas Kilay kong tanong. Imposible na coincidence lang na naroon sya, or na sinwerte sya na andoon pala ako!

“I paid Milan to track you.” Nakangising sabi nuto at mukhang proud pa.

I gaped at him and he just chuckled at my reaction.

“Sweetheart, you know that I cannot approach any of your cousins, si Milan lang ang pag asa ko.” he shrugged and I bit my lower lip.

Okay. He is right..since he is not okay with my cousins, he cannot just ask them about me.

I nodded to show him that I understand.

“Where are you staying?”

“At a hotel in Makati. I figured that I should stay there for now since most of your cousins are here at BGC. But once they are already okay with my presence, I will move here at BGC.”

“Sorry.. I promise to talk to them one of these days.” Malungkot kong sabi.

“Hey..no pressure..” he gave me a warm smile that lightened my mood.

”I missed you.” he suddenly said that caught me off-guard that my cheeks instantly felt hot. “Didn’t you miss me?” he asked in hopeful voice.

”Hmnnn…” pang aasar ko sakanya but he just chuckled instead of feeling offended or sad at my response.

”You don’t have to answer it.. based on your reaction a while ago when you saw me..I already know the answer.” he smirked and I jokingly glared at him.

My connection with Paris is really different, the way our personalities compliments is really amazing. There was even a time when I told him that I feel like we are soulmates!

“Do you want to go home already or do you still want to walk around?” he asked before he took off his jacket and placed it on my shoulder. Since it is already ber months, it is starting to get cold at night lalo pa at tag ulan ng mga nakalipas na araw.

“I want to have coffee, I think the coffee shop across the street is still open.”

“Which one?”

“Because Coffee.”

He nodded.

“Alright,” he said. “After that, I’ll take you home.”

“Okay. Kuya Yvo or Kuya Evans might drop by to check on me since tinakasan ko sila.” I giggled.

But he doesn’t look amused on what I have said, instead..his eyes turned sad.

“We should really talk to them asap. I don’t want us..like this. I know this situation is harder for you.” he whispered. I shook my head and stopped walking, then I turned to look at him.

“I’ll talk to them first, then once they are calm..we will talk to them together.” I said in dismissive tone.

“Where are you?!” Azalea asked over the phone, rinig ko ang pag panic ng boses nya.

“Huh? Dito lang sa One Bonifacio, drinking coffee.. why?”

“Sh*t Cassie! Run! The boys are on their way to your Condo to check on you! Yckos is trying his best para hindi agad sila makarating sa condo mo!”

My eyes turned wide, mabilis akong napatayo na ikinagulat ni Paris, bigla din itong tumayo.

“I’m on my way home!” mabilis kong sabi para mapanatag sya.

“Hurry!” she said before she cut the line without saying goodbye at me!

“What’s wrong?” Paris asked in a worried voice.

I grabbed my pursed and started to walk towards the nearest trash can to throw my coffee cup.

“Papunta na sila sa Condo! I have to go!” Nag papanic kong sabi.

“Let’s go.. ihahatid ba kita.”

“ No, wag na.. baka mamkasalubong natin sila!”

“Okay, I’ll call you a cab mas mabilis kesa mag book ka ng grab.” he suggested while we are walking.

Mabilis ang iling na ginawa ko.

“It is faster to walk, pag nag taxi ako iikot pa sa kabilang street, while pag nag walk ako there’s a short cut na I can take.” I said then I stopped walking. I tiptoed and kiss him on his cheeks. “Sige ba I really need to go!” I said and did not wait for his rssponse, instead I turned my back in him and started to walk away. I am glad that I’m used to heels and my heels are comfy, or else.. no choice ako but mag taxi!
