Marrying The Obsessive Mafia Lord

CHAPTER 1: Drunk

I wanted to shout while hearing my boyfriend moaning together with my best friend. Siya ang kinikilala kong kaibigan ngunit hindi ko akalain na aahas pala sa akin.

Nanginginig ang buo kong katawan habang nahuhuli ko silang walang saplot sa mismong apartment ni Greg.

I was going to surprise him pero ako pala ang na surprised sa naabutan ko. May nangyari sa kanila. Tinatraydor nila ako.

Lumabas ako ng apartment na hindi gumagawa ng ingay, pigil ako sa aking mga luha dahil ayaw kong ipakita sa sarili na mahina ako.

Hindi ko lubos akalain na makakayang gawin sa akin ni Greg ito, minahal ko siya pero ito lang pala ang gagawin niya.

I was crying while driving my car. I couldn't believe, my boyfriend would cheat me this way. I caught him kissing another girl in a Hotel room, and they were naked.

I was being devastated knowing that it was my best friend who betrayed me. My closest best friend is the one who had s*x with my boyfriend.

Me and Greg, are just engaged for two months but he cheated on me. He really did this in our relationship. I've been faithful to him, but he was not.

I can't stop my tears while driving so fast. I full the speed of my car.

Hindi ko matanggap na ganito ang mangyayari sa akin. Nagmahal lang naman ako pero bakit ganito ang inabot ko sa buhay ko?

I am being pathetic right now. He was a jerk for hurting me this way. I couldn't believe that, I've been trap for his good words for more than two years. And in just a snap he make me suffer like this. He made me felt like a useless woman.

I will never forgive him for breaking my heart and soul. I hate him so much, together with my best friend. I thought she would help me, she's with me all the time whenever I was being down but, she's also a cheater for scamming me.

Ang galing niyang magsabi ng magagandang salita para sa future naming dalawa, but at the end of the day I end up begging him.

I did not noticed. I stop my car from a familiar, high-end bar in the City witch we always hang-out together with Greg and his best-buddies.

I think twice, if this is the right place to get my mind at peace. I want to forget everything happened this day, especially the cheating part of my boyfriend Greg.

So I step down my car and went inside the bar. They were many people dancing wild inside. Someone invited me to thier tables but I just declined and continue walking in the counter.

"One tequila please," I said from the guy who's looking at me without any emotions.

Mariin akong napatitig sa kanya. Isa siyang myteryosong lalaki. Walang emosyon at palaging nakasimangot sa tuwing magkaharap kami. Well what's new with him?

Minsan natatawa na lang ako sa kanya kapag nakikita niya ako at palaging iritado sa akin. Wala naman akong ginawa na ikagalit niya.

Well no wonder he is always like this. Mula noong huling usap namin tungkol kay Greg, binaalaan na niya ako na may ibang babae ang boyfriend pero hindi ako nakinig. Iyon lang kaya ngayon galit na siya sa akin.

Wala naman akong maalala na kasalanan sa kanya para pag-initan niya ako ng ulo. Iyong pagsabi ko lang sa kanya ng hindi magaganda at pagbara sa kanya dahil akala ko nagsisinungaling siya. Ako pa ngayon ang napahiya.

"Kumusta ka na?" tanong ko rito.

Hindi siya sumagot. Kinunutan lang niya ako ng noo sabay iwas ng tingin.

He's being like this all the time. It seems he doesn't like my presence. I just give him a smile. But he just ignored me. He give me a question mark look.

I sigh. Well, we are not close, but I think it's awkward if I don't smile at him. It's kind of rude, when we knew each other in the first place. And I don't greet him with a smile.

Napatingin ako sa kabuuan niya, he is handsome and perfect. Matikas ang pangangatawan na hapit sa kanyang suot na polo.

Matikas rin ang kanyang muscles. Hindi na kataka-taka kung bakit paulit-ulit siyang dinadayu ng mga customer na mga babae. Mostly they were flirty.

He is the owner of this high-end-club. And he's friend of my boyfriend-- scratch that, he's my ex-boyfriend now. His name is Nicolas Parker. He is the silent type of their group, and an attractive one. But, today he is something in my eyes. He looks a little bit mysterious.

Mukha rin siyang galit sa pagpunta ko sa bar niya.

"Where is Greg?" he asked while giving me my order of tequila.

I laughed like an idiot and shook my head.

"He's been with my best friend, they'd fvck like an animal in the Hotel." I said with grit teeth. "I broke up with him after I caught him cheating."

I drink the tequila. And requested him for more. He's just looking at me. He's not asking next questions. He just focusing on giving drinks to their costumer. So I was silent in the table, while drinking two, three, four and so on. He's just giving me a drink, without any questions ahead.

He already warned me about my boyfriend, but I don't listen. So, basically he is not shocked from my rant. Baka pinagtatawanan niya pa ako sa katangahan ko.

Kung tutuusin minsan nalalabasan ko na siya ng mga problema ko sa buhay sa tuwing hindi kami okay ni Greg, he's just always there looking at me. Hindi siya nagsasalita. Palaging busy pero alam ko namang nakikinig siya.

He glanced me once, but I don't mind it. I don't have time to talk anymore so I drink more hard drinks.

I've been dizzy but still used to it. I thought, I will get rid the thoughts of my boyfriend cheating on me in my mind but the tequila won't work. I can still remember how I caught Greg together with my best friend without any clothes on, over the bed.

I wanted to cursed.

"Another one please," I said to the owner. He then, looked at me without any emotions again.

I stared at him for a minute and crest my forehead.

From the start I met him in this bar, he's something. He has mysterious aura. He always looking at me all the time. I haven't talk to him once, only this day. When I came here, my ex-boyfriend will invite me to this place so that I can hang along with his Best-buddies together with him. But tonight, is not usual. I am alone, I am in despair to forget what happened. And he's the only man who knows why I've been drinking.

Kahit hindi niya sinasabi alam kong concern siya sa akin, well, girlfriend lang naman ako ng bestfriend niya.

"Should I get you a cab, Miss? You're totally drunk," he said while giving me my last tequila.

One thing for sure... Hindi rin niya ako tinatawag sa pangalan ko. Nakakatawang isipin, mukhang hindi rin siya interesadong alamin ang pagkatao ko.

"I don't want to go home. I just want to get relaxed for now. Join me to dance?" I asked teasingly. I don't know what I was talking right now, I get suddenly dizzy and wants to have fun.

I started to stand-up, but my sorroundings went black. So I sit again to calm myself.

"I had many costumer. I can't join you," he simply said.

Why so cold Nicolas? We're not friend or enemy? Why it seems you're being...

"Come on! Stop being snob. Just for now, join my devastated life." I laughed but he is really serious. He just raised me an eye brow then shook his head. Mas lalong naging iritado ang kanyang pagmumukha.

He faced the customer in front of him and entertain his order.

"You had your employees here. Why don't you give them task to do their duty as a bartender? Bakit ikaw ang nagbibigay ng mga inumin sa kanila?"

Hindi man lang ako pinansin. Medyo napahiya ako dahil pinagtatawanan ako ng katabing babae. Namula ako at nag-iwas ng tingin..

He's not listening to me again. Para akong baliw dahil kinakausap ang sarili. Did I annoy his work?

Tiningnan ko na lang siya habang kausap ng seryoso ang lalaking costumer na nagpagawa sa kanya ng nakakalasing na inumin.

He keep on talking on his costumer, like I'm just a wind on the counter. I rolled my eyes in annoyance.

Bakit ba napakasuplado nito!

Malayo talaga siya kay Greg na palaging tumatawa sa tuwing kausap ako, I like go lucky guy. Hindi katulad niya na parang pasan ang buong mundo. Magkaibigan sila ni Greg pero hindi ko siya nakitang ngumingiti man lang sa akin. Simula noong pinakilala ako ni Greg na girlfriend niya noon mainit na talaga ang ulo niya sa akin at palaging naiinis sa akin sa tuwing may sinasabi ako.

Kaya iyan din ang dahilan kaya hindi ako masiyadong nakikipag-usap sa kanya. Palagi akong napahiya.

Napaka yabang di ba? Well, asshole talaga siya simula nung una kaming nagkakilala.

Marami kaming bagay na maihahambing. Naaalala ko pa kung paano niya ako ginaganito at binibigyan ng assurance na makalayo sa boyfriend ko. Gusto niya talagang maghiwalay kami. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang dahilan niya noong una at, sa ngayon. Alam ko na kung bakit niya gustong maghiwalay kami, kasi simula pa lang may alam na siya.

"I should have listen to you. I should really broke up Greg in the beginning so that I won't be devastated like this."

I'm not an open book to the people, but right now, I can't keep this hard feelings inside me. I want it to go out inside on my head that can ruin my day.

Kahit hindi siya nakikinig sa akin at wala sa akin ang atensyon niya. Nagpatuloy pa rin akong nagsasalita sa mga hinanakit ko kay Greg.

"If I could turn back the time. I will never waste my efforts to your best friend. I would rather choose a guy like you. Who doesn't have any interest in any girls. Sana ikaw na lang ang boyfriend ko... Hindi si Greg!"

Dahil sa sinabi ko ay napatingin siya sa akin. Nakuha ko ang atensyon niya pero hindi siya nagsasalita. Kumuyom ang kanyang panga, at maya-maya, abala siya sa kanyang sarili sa ginagawa niya sa vodka. Hindi pa rin niya ako pinapansin sa counter.

Nalalasing na yata ako, kung ano-ano na lang ang pinagsasabi ko.

Patuloy siya sa paghahalo ng inumin. I know his ears are fixing to me. Nagpanggap siyang walang pakialam sa sinasabi ko. As if naman, hindi ko siya kino-complement.

Naiinsulto ako sa mga reaksyon niya. Kilala ko siya, dahil siya lang ang lalaking walang babae sa tabi niya tuwing nagkakasayahan sila sa club kasama si Greg. Kaya na sabi ko ito...sa kanilang lahat sa kanya talaga naagaw ang atensyon ko. Tahimik siya pero minsan naman nag-iingay kapag hindi ako sinasama ni Greg sa tipon nila.

Kapag nagkikita kami, pormal lang naman siya na lalaki. Tahimik lang sa tabi habang nakikinig sa mga kasama niya. He's the type of guy na kagustuhan talaga ng mga babae dahil bukod na guwapo siya, hindi rin mahilig sa babae.

Nakita ko na siyang tumatanggi sa mga babae na hawakan siya. I've been seeing him insulted girls and break their hearts because of his words in front of me.

"Are you not interested with my stories?" Nguso ko. Hindi pa rin siya sumagot. Busy pa rin sa ginagawa.

Mukhang hindi niya ako pinakikinggan kaya napagdesisyunan kong tumigil na sa pagsasalita. Napahiya lang ako lalo.

Kinuha ko ang huling baso ko at ininom ito. Bakit ko naman kakausapin ang lalaki na parang wala siyang pakialam sa akin? Napakatanga mo, Melissa. Hindi niyo pa kilala ang isa't isa kaya bakit niya ipagmamalaki ang nararamdaman mo ngayon? He never cared of you, he's just a guy na lagi kang nilalait.

Galit ka talaga sa kanya, galit rin siya sa akin, kaya dapat tumigil ka na sa pakikipag-usap sa isang cold-hearted guy na Nicolas!

I convinced myself not to talk to him again. I zip my mouth. While he's still in front of me, not even glancing me.

After my drink. I decided to stand up. I want to dance now, than talking to a man who only cares his other customers. It seems he's not interested in my life, so what's the point on talking to him?

I walk towards the crowd even my dizziness was stopping me not to go. But, I still insisted to dance.

While on the dance floor. I had many guys sorrounded by me. I give them a big smile before dancing wildly in front of them.

I grinned my booty and acted like a b***h in front of these guys. The tall one with a brown hair, touched my butt and squeeze it. I let him do what he wants, I touched his chest and turn around so that I can do my dirty dance.

I don't know what I am doing from that moment. I was dizzy, and desperate. I didn't care what happened on my sorroundings. Many guys touching my legs, my arm, and my waist. I don't mind them at all, because all I want, is to dance.

Sobrang lasing ko na talaga. Hindi na ako makareklamo sa mga lalaking humahawak sa katawan ko, bagkos tinatawanan ko pa at sinayawan sila isa-isa.

Hindi pa ako na kuntento sa pagsasayaw sa ibaba. I go to the pole and climbing it. My dizziness went far, but I still continue of what I am doing. Many men were praising me. They started touching my butt. I won't mind them and still give my biggest smile.

Someone grab my hand to stop me from dancing. I don't know who the guy is because my dizziness was getting worst.

Sasayawan ko na sana ito ang kaso hinila niya ako lalo. Binababa niya rin ang suot kong dress para matakpan ang legs ko.

"Fvck it! Can't you just wait until I came to you in this fvcking dance floor?!" his pissed.

I looked at the guy who grab me. I give my laughed when it is Nicolas.

"I thought you are ignoring me? Why you're here?" I asked amused.

"You want someone to dance with? Let's dance then, but only with me... Not with these other assholes sorrounded by you," he warned. I don't know why he's getting angry but at the same time acted like a cute.

Ngumiti ako sa kanya ng matamis. Tinititigan niya ako gamit ang iritado niyang mga mata.

"Akala ko ba mas importante sa'yo ang costumer mo? Umalis na lang ako roon sa counter dahil hindi ka naman nakikinig sa kuwen—"

"I was listening." Malakas siyang nagbuntong hininga. Namungay ang kanyang mata, nawala ang pagka-iritado at na palitan ng walang emosyon. "Shut up now and let's dance," he commanded.

He started moving his hips. He grab me closer on his chest while we are listening to the loud music. He's dark pitch blue eyes darted at me. It was no emotions, but I was being hypnotized.

I also started grinding my hips, I felt his bulk awakening. So I dance even more. The hard liquor is giving me goosebumps. I push myself into him, before moving my waist and butt so that I can feel his hardness in front of me.

Narinig ko ang malakas niyang paghinga. Parang hirap na hirap na ganito kami kadikit sa isa't-isa. I want to tease him, masiyado siyang seryoso kahit sinasadya ko na idikit ang bandang ibaba ko sa kanyang tumitigas na lalaki.

"I thought you want to work in your club as a bartender, why you joined me here?" I tease.

"I know you want someone accompany you in here. You're just an ex-girlfriend of my best friends Greg. It's my priority to protect you."

I wanted to laughed on his statement, but he seems really serious. He can't even give me a jolly look.

"Okay... Pero hiwalay na kami ni Greg? Hindi mo na ako responsibilidad."

Kumunot ang kanyang noo. Hindi siya sumagot. Humigpit lang ang kapit niya sa bewang ko. Nagtitigan kami nang ilang sandali. Napalunok ako nang mas dobleng seryoso ang kanyang mukha.

"Then... You are my responsibility then."

Hindi ko makuha ang ipinunto niya. Kinagat ko ang pang-ibabang labi sabay iling ng ulo. When I looked up, I saw his jaw clenching even more.

Ngayon ko lang na pagtanto, mas lalo siyang gumaguwapo kapag sa malapitan. Sabayan mo pa ng neon lights na tumatama sa kanyang mukha. Naka-igting ang kanyang panga. Makapal ang kanyang kilay, matangos ang ilong, ang mga mata niya ay palaging galit kahit kalmado lang siyang. Napatitig ako sa labi niya, parang inaakit ako nito.

Bago ko pa maisipan ang malaswang kaisipan na mahalikan siya ngayon kahit maraming tao. Nag-iwas na ako ng tingin.

All I want is to enjoy this moment. Gusto kong subukin ang pasensiya niya sa akin.

So, I made a sexy dance. I touched his chest, and teases him. I looked closer on his eyes. Before grinding my hips going down. He stop moving, and just looked at me. I give my devilish smile while dancing in front of him.

I touched his neck, down to his muscles while looking on his eyes. I touched his chest down to his abdomen. I stop my hand in there and looked closely to him.

I find him attractive right now, or I am just really drunk?

I grab his neck and kissed him torridly. Hindi ko na mapigilan, inaakit ako sa mga titig niya.

I closed my eyes when he kissed me back. He touched my waist, and then pulled me up closer. I thought he doesn't like my kissed, but he suddenly stop our kisses and grab my hand.

"Let's go in my place," he said coldly. "Not here, Melissa."

Ngumisi ako sa kanya. Hinigpitan ko ang kapit sa kanyang kamay.

Because I was being drunk that time, I just nodded.
