Grievous: Dhenmer Ramos

Chapter Eleven

My eyes fell close, savoring Dhenmer's sweet lips with my tongue. I completely forgot about my anger towards him and got distracted of how his kisses felt good. Kinagat-kagat niya ang ibaba kong labi, mas dumidiin ang hawak sa batok at sa bewang ko. And it disappointed me when he pulled away, breathing heavily and quizzing his eyes shut.

My senses came back, blood came rushing to my cheeks in shame. I pulled away from him like I was burnt by him, I ran to the door, unlocking and opening, rushing outside almost as fast as Flash.

"No, I didn't just kissed him back." Para akong tanga na kinakausap ang sarili habang mabilis na naglalakad, hindi tama ang direksyon na tinatahak.

Niyakap ko ang sarili habang humihinto, napamura ako nang mapagtantong malayo ako sa table namin ni Amadeus. I pushed through the crowds, trying to avoid skin to skin contact.

I completely ignored Amadeus and sat on my seat, grabbing the champagne and drinking straight to the bottle.

"Did I turn invisible without realizing it?" I heard Amadeus muttered to himself.

I looked at him, suddenly feeling horrible about ditching him for awhile and using him to piss Dhenmer off.

"You know that you can tell me anything, princess." He said in a calm tone with his genuine smile, he looked down at his food and played with it with his fork.

"Deus, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to leave you like that."

"At least, tell me what's going on, okay? You can trust me, you know that."

I nibbled on my lower lip, I looked around to check if Dhenmer's around. I let out a sigh of relief when I didn't see him, I returned my attention to Amadeus who's waiting patiently for my response.

"About Dhenmer..." I licked my lower lip and sighed, "he-"

"I figured." He cut me off, folding his arms over his chest. "The way you look at him and the way he looks at you. Is this some kind of a lover's quarrel? What does girls call them? LQ?"

"I'm very certain that I'm not his lover." I affirmed, my cheeks flushing red.

"So you guys are MU or something?" His brows c****d but smirked teasingly. I should have known that he won't be serious for long.

"When did you learn those things? You're weird and being like Ahrlo. You catched his disease?"

"Don't change the subject now, princess. Tell me, are you jealous of Caleigna?"

"Me? Jealous? Are you nuts? Hindi ako nagseselos, ano ka ba? Wala naman kasi akong karapatang magselos kasi wala namang kami." I denied, looking away and my cheeks flushing redder than before.

"Oh, so you are really jealous?" He stated the obvious then looking behind me after. "I wanna tell you something before I die, alright? Alam ko ang ikot ng bituka ni Dhenmer, masama siya kapag nagagalit at halata namang may something siya para sayo. I don't wanna know what he's like when he's jealous, but looks like I'm knowing how he's like since he's already walking towards us while giving me death glares."

I rolled my eyes, assuming that he's joking.

"You really don't care about me, don't you? I will get murdered, princess! I'm sure he's going to cut my d**k with a butcher knife and throw my body to a swamp!"

"Deus, where will he get a butcher knife and there's not swamp nearby." I rolled my eyes at his drama.

"Save your prince, princess! Save your prince from the furious dragon! Have mercy on me!"

"What the heck are you talking about?" I asked, getting confused now and worried that he might be telling the truth. It's so hard to tell whether he's joking or not because he always jokes around.

"Mind if I join?" A baritone voice distracted me from my thoughts, I looked behind unknowingly and shocked after seeing the furious dragon that Amadeus was talking about.

Walang sumagot sa amin ni Amadeus, nang tumingin naman ako sa date ko ay mukhang totoong ninenerbyos ito at takot kay Dhenmer. Kung may isa mang hindi gusto si Amadeus, iyon ay iyong makipag-away, his manager will freak out, the paparazzis will see his bruised face and make gossips about it. Being a celebrity is really complicated.

I gritted my teeth, I rolled my eyes at the dragon. Sinapo ko ang noo kong kumikirot dahil sa stress at sa champagne na nainom ko.

He took the seat across me and Amadeus without permission.

What am I nervous about?

Mahina akong napamura dahil sa lakas ng t***k ng puso ko, halos lumabas ito sa dibdib ko dahil sa sobrang lakas ng pagtibok nito.

"I didn't know you do dates, Deus. Seem like you're serious with your girl." He began a conversation, acting so cool.

"Seem like you're serious with your date, too." I let those words slipped from my mouth, I had to pinch myself on the thigh to scold myself and I winced a little.

"Mama forced me, you know how she is." His expression darkened.

"Well, I'm glad my princess doesn't need to be forced. She can't resist me." Amadeus said like he's boasting, he put his arms over my shoulder and winked at me.

"You manipulated me with embarrassment, and also maybe your cuteness." I responded quietly, getting uncomfortable with his arms thrown over my shoulder. But remembering him with his embarrassing but cute disguise made me comfortable instantly.

Nakita ko kung paano kumuyom ang kamay ni Dhenmer na nasa taas ng lamesa habang pinapanood kami. Amadeus wasn't kidding about Dhenmer giving him death glares. Scary unwanted death glares.

"Pull your arms off her shoulder before I cut them myself." He managed to said it calmly, but his face said the opposite.

"Give me a valid reason to do that." Amadeus pulled me close to him, crushing me with his muscular body.

"Because she's mine. Back off."

Amadeus didn't need to be told twice, he cares more than his face than me. He held his hands up in the air with a teasing smile.

"I'm just f*****g with you, bro. I don't need bruises on my face, thank you. My manager will skin me alive." He stood up from his seat. "You both fix your stuffs, but I would want my manager back, Dhen. My manager is your date."

"His date is your manager? Caleigna? Since when?" I asked, looking up to him.

"Since my former manager wanted me to do stuffs I don't want to. That old woman is crazy for suggesting I should do erotic movies, which is not gonna happen by the way. Good thing I have a good friend who's willing to be my brand new manager." He explained, happily.

I was gonna say something when someone cleared their throat, we all looked at the direction and saw the one and only Haydn Catripeun with his fancy royal tux, his glowing green eyes and muscular figure.

"Haydn Moretz Donacrius Salazar Catripeun! My man!" Amadeus cheered, approaching the prince.

Haydn rolled his eyes at his friend's childishness. "Verga."

"What?" Deus frowned.

"I said d**k. You are a d**k, Bethoveen. Don't test me because, f**k! I'm pissed!" He hissed angrily.

"Mind teliing me why?"

"My fiance ran away... again. Apparently she ran off leaving me alone in this f*****g engagement party that Mama planned."

"That sucks, well, I guess you're not handsome enough like me."

Haydn glared at him, he smacked Amadeus' head hard that I winced for him.

Nagulat ako nang may humawak sa braso ko at hinila ako palayo sa dalawa. Mabilis akong nilayo ni Dhenmer sa ballroom, tinanong ko siya kung saan niya ako dadalhin at sinabihang bitawan ngunit hindi siya nakinig. As expected from him.

He pulled his phone and called someone, his jaw clenching and his grip on my arm tightening

Wala akong makitang rason kung bakita siya ganito kundi selos. Talaga bang nagseselos siya tulad ng nakikita ko? Or am I just assuming things?

"Get me my fastest jet, I'm going back in Philippines." He ended the call then glared at me.

"Stop being stubborn and be obedient, will you!? I told you I'll come back, didn't I? What was that all about being my friend's date!?"

"Baka nakakalimutan mo, ha? Ipapaalala ko lang! May date ka rin kaya patas na tayo, kaya bitawan mo 'ko!"

"Babalik tayo sa Pilipinas sa ayaw at sa gusto mo."

"I am not your slave nor your dog for I to be obedient to you!" Dinuro ko ang dibdib niya, nagiging pula ang buong mukha dahil sa labis na galit na umuukupa sa sistema ko.

"Then you are my slave now!" He shouted back, pushing me to the nearest wall and pinning me against it. "You had become my slave ever since that night, you're mine and you'll be staying that way!"

Hindi ko napigilan ang pagtulo ng luha sa pisnge ko. "Hindi ako isang bagay para angkinin mo, Dhenmer! You," I paused, breathing heavily, "are nothing but a grievous bastard and you'll be staying that way!"

I say things when I'm mad, and I didn't mean everything I said to him. Base sa itsura ni Dhenmer, sigurado akong nainsulto ko siya't nasaktan ang feelings niya. Kung sana ay pinalamig niya na lang muna ang tensyon sa pagitan namin at hinintay na kumalma kaming dalawa, baka ay maayos pa ang kung ano mang meron kami.

Dhenmer immediately covered his emotions, I saw his throat moved up and down as his eyes went dark, his grip on my arm tightened. Tight enough to hurt me, tight enough to mark bruise on there. At this point, I knew he already lost it.

"You want to play this way, huh?" He grabbed my jaw, pushing me to the wall even more. "I will do what you want, don't blame me for it." And with that, he attached his lips on mine. Bruisingly hard.

My eyes widened, I tried pushing him but he won't budge. I was too small compared to him and he was too strong compared to me. He run his fingers through my hair roughly, his other hand was gripping my waist to steady my posture.

I should be scared. I should be freaking out. I should be panicking. I did for awhile, but understood his behavior more.

I understood him, I remember what he told be back in the cabin. I'm not going to be those girls who ran away from him because of this behavior of his. I know he's capable of being gentle, he was also nice and sweet to me.

Ito ang Dhenmer na kinukwento niya sa akin, ito ang Dhenmer na hindi ko pa nakikilala. The one who's rough, violent and aggressive. The one he told me about. But he managed to be gentle and careful with me, I don't want to lose that side of him.

I shut my eyes, tears streaming down my cheeks as I felt his teeth biting my lower lip hard that I tasted blood. He was making my lips swollen and forcing his tongue inside. But I didn't let him force himself much longer because I accepted him.

I opened my mouth and responded to his aggressive kisses, I brought my hands to his cheeks to prevent him from pulling away. I can tell he was taken back, like he didn't expect that I'll respond to him.

I slid my tongue inside his mouth, tasting him more and moaning. He was still immobile, he didn't move nor respond to which made me pull away, my lips hovering over his.

Pinagmasdan ko ang reaksyon niya, nakatitig siya sa mga mata ko na tila naguguluhan. Bahagya ko siyang nginitian habang hinihimas ang pisnge niya.

"Fine," I muttered under my breath, "I'll be your slave just like what you want, I'll be obedient to you, we'll go home together and I... I will be yours. What else do you want me to do, hm? Tell me." I softly said, planting small kissed on the side of his lips.

He seemed to relax, his arms crawling around my waist and hugged me, his other hand behind my head.

"Don't let other men touch you other than me, I don't like it when they touch you. I'm pissed, Frances, I'm so pissed of you because you didn't believe me when I said I'll come back for you. You shouldn't have jumped into conclusion."

"Okay, I'm sorry. I was waiting for both of us to calm down, I was also pissed."

"I'm sorry."

I let out a breath of relief when I heard the words I've been waiting for. Tuluyang nawala ang sama ng loob ko sa kaniya dahil duon. Bahagya akong humiwalay, tumitig ako sa mga mata niyang kalmado na. He moved his hand from behind my head to my cheek, he leaned down and let our lips meet.

This time, he's kissing me soft and gentle like how I want it. But I have to admit, his angry kisses was good, too. I wonder what he'll be like when he's mad in bed...
