TAMED by the MAFIA QUEEN

Chapter 9 - Goodnight Kiss

Matapos ang dinner at magpalitan ng calling card ay lumabas na sila sa mall at dumiretso sa parking lot. She of course intended to park her vehicle near his car.

"Oh, gosh! My tire is flat!" gulat niya kunwaring bulalas habang nakatitig sa kotse niya! Kung hindi siguro naging Mafia King ang Daddy niya at hindi rin siya naging Mafia Queen ay baka sa pag-aartista ang suwerte niya.

"Is that your car?" itinuro pa ni Contreiras ang kotse niyang halos katabi lang din ng kotse nito at tumango naman siya rito.

Sinipat ng maige ni Contreiras ang lahat ng gulong ng kotse niya at nakita nitong isa lang naman ang na-flat.

"Looks like you can't use your car now." ani Contreiras nang makatayo na ito sa tapat niya.

"Oo nga. I guess I'll have to book a taxi–"

"Bakit magta-taxi ka pa kung puwede naman kitang ihatid pauwi?" Ngumiti pa sa kanya si Contreiras at napakurap naman kunwari siya habang iniisip kung papayag siya.

If he only knew that these are all planned... But of course he will never know that.

"Is that ok with you? Maaabala kita masyado. Really, it's ok, I can take care of myself." kunwari ay pahapyaw niyang tanggi rito. Hindi siya puwedeng pumayag agad dahil magmumukha siyang atat. Then it could ruin his impression of her. Dapat ay lagi lang siyang modest at prim sa mga mata ni Contreiras.

"Of course! It would be ungentleman of me to let you ride a taxi when I can send you home myself. And it's really my pleasure, so you have nothing to worry about." Kumindat pa sa kanya si Contreiras habang may matamis na ngiti at parang pumitlag naman ang puso niya.

Hindi siya nagugulat sa tunog ng baril o sa granada, pero sa kindat ni Contreiras ay muntik nang napatalon ang puso niya.

Damn fuckboy!

Hindi porket never siyang nagkaboyfriend o nagkagusto sa isang lalaki ay kikiligin na siya kay Contreiras! That's unacceptable! She is here to make him fall for her and seek for the Crown Stone, not to be affected with his damn wink!

"Alright, if you insist."

Kaagad na rin naman niyang nahamig ang sarili niya at tipid lang na ngumiti dito. She isn't a Mafia Queen for nothing. And she will make this fuckboy fall for her so that she can succeed in her goal.

Nang igiya siya ni Contreiras patungo sa kotse nito ay walang imik na sumunod siya rito. Sabi pa nito ay tatawag na lang ito ng towing service para sa kotse niya. She immediately agreed coz she will use everything necessary to get closer to him and to his properties.

"I really can't believe that you're the owner of QJ. I mean, it's really a pleasure to meet you. No offense, but... I think you're more beautiful and rare than your jewelries. " basag ni Contreiras sa katahimikan habang nasa biyahe na sila. Here he is again, flattering her to the extent.

"It's also a surprise to meet you. By the way, have you heard about the appearance of a rare blue diamond stone?" pauna niyang tanong dito tungkol sa nawawalang Crown Stone.

She better start investigating and questioning him now while they're alone. At kapag may alam ito sa Crown Stone at naramdaman niyang papalag ito o sasaktan siya nito para maitago ang sekreto nito, then maybe, she would just kidnap him instead and she wouldn't have a choice but to reveal herself to him. That's her last resort.

There are no other blue diamonds left or found all over the world except for the Wisdom Stone that reformed and called as the Crown Stone. That's why it is so expensive! She could say na triple o lampas pa ang halaga niyon ngayon kumpara noon. Iyon ay kung mahanap pa ito. A lot of people will surely go crazy just to have a piece of it.

But since it only appeared in the underground world more than half a century ago, a normal person like Gerard Dean Contreiras probably have never heard about it. But if he knows about it's existence then, then it means that he really might know something about it... And possibly even know where it is at the moment.

"Blue diamond stone? Are you kidding me? Baka peke meron." Nakangising sambit ni Contreiras.

So, did he really not know about it? Or is he just pretending to know nothing?

"Well, I heard a rumor that there really is a blue diamond somewhere..."

Bigla na lamang humalakhak si Contreiras pagkatapos ng sinabi niya. f**k! Is he insulting her?!

"I'm sorry, I couldn't stop myself from laughing. Saan mo ba kasi narinig ang joke na yan? As far as I know, there was only one tiny blue diamond stone found in the world, and it was more than a hundred years ago until it vanished. Kaya wala na. The rarest of all diamond stones are no more." Saad nito.

But you're wrong, Contreiras! And even if you know nothing about the missing Crown Stone, your late grandma knew about it. And you'll bring me where it is until I find it.

"Oh, well.. As a jeweler, I just got curious about it. Alam mo na, it's business." kibit-balikat niyang sagot kay Contreiras.

"Sabagay, tama ka naman. But I'm not as business-minded as you are so I'm not that interested about it." nakangiti naman nitong sagot sa kanya. Para lang itong easy-go-lucky na negosyante. Sabagay, bakit magugulat pa siya eh pambababae naman talaga ang prayoridad nito?

Still, hindi siya pakakampante. Maybe, he's telling the truth. Or maybe, he's not.

Tama na muna ang pagbanggit niya sa blue diamond stone, next time naman ulit dahil baka makahalata na ito sa kanya.

And if ever he's hiding the Crown Stone, baka lalo pa nito iyong itago o ilipat ng lugar kapag makahalata ito sa kanya.

Maybe, he's also just pretending to be not interested about it. Pasasaan ba at malalaman niya rin ang buong katotohanan balang araw.

Nang sa wakas ay nasa labas na sila ng gate ng bahay niya ay pinatigil na niya ang kotse nito. She will not invite him inside her house yet. It's too soon for that.

"Thank you, Dean. Naabala pa tuloy kita." Kimi niya kunwaring pasasalamat dito nang pinatay na nito ang makina ng kotse nito.

"You're always welcome, Deb. Wait." Nakangiti nitong sabi at nagmamadali itong bumaba mula sa driver's seat pagkatapos ay pinagbuksan siya ng pinto ng kotse.

"Thank you." Nakangiti niya ulit na pasasalamat matapos bumaba sa kotse nito. Magkaharap na sila ngayong nakatayo sa labas ng kotse nito sa tapat ng gate ng bahay niya.

"So, uhm... I'll call you...?" Tila hindi pa sigurado nitong tanong habang napapakamot sa likod ng ulo nito. It's kinda cute! But for sure it's just one of his ways to attract his girls.

"Sure!" Tipid naman niyang sagot dito at bigla na lang naglumikot ang mga mata nito hanggang sa napatitig ito sa kanya na tila may gusto pa itong sabihin. Pero makalipas pa ang ilang segundo ay nanatili lang itong nakatitig sa kanya. His gaze was already a bit awkward for her so she broke the silence between them.

"Goodnight, Dean. Thank you for the dinner and for sending me home. Nakakahiya na talaga sa'yo. Next time, it will be my treat para makabawi naman ako sa'yo." nakangiti niyang wika habang iniisip na sana ay umalis na lang ito agad.

"G-Good! Sabi mo yan, ha! I'll look forward to it. G-Goodnight, Deb..."

She secretly got shocked because he stammered few times but she managed to just smile at him.

Itinaas niya ang kanang kamay niya ay kumuway siya rito. Tatalikod na sana siya pero nagulat na lang siya nang bigla nitong pigilan ang braso niya kaya't awtomatiko siyang napatingin dito na nagtataka.

"C-Can I kiss you goodnight?"

"Huh?"

It's too early! It's too early for a kiss! Kung nasa paligid lang si Hunter ay baka bigla na lang bumulagta si Contreiras sa harap niya lalo at unti-unti na nitong inilalapit ang mukha sa kanya.

She blinked her eyes few times and tried to keep a sane, straight mind.

She's seducing him, right? And he's falling into her trap. But it's too early to allow him to kiss her!

But he said, it's just a goodnight kiss so probably it will just be on her cheeks.

Alright, sa pisngi lang naman.

"Sure." she answered him.

Nakita niyang gumalaw ang ilang halaman medyo malapit sa gilid at likod ni Contreiras at alam niyang mga tauhan niya ang nasa likod niyon dahil bahagya niyang naaaninag ang mga ito sa dilim.

She slowly raised her right hand and clenched her hand, signaling her men to stop. Pagkatapos ay isinenyas niya rin agad ang kamay niyang iyon pataboy sa mga tauhan niya.

Damn! It's just a f*****g goodnight kiss! Siguradong kagagawan na naman ni Hunter kaya masyado na ring OA ang mga tao niya. Tsk!

Agad na rin namang kumalma ang paligid nila at naramdaman niyang wala na talagang tao sa paligid nila. She's the boss! Takot lang ng mga ito na suwayin siya!

Dahil busy siya sa pagtaboy sa mga OA niyang tauhan ay naramdaman na lang niya bigla ang paglapat ng mga labi ni Contreiras sa pisngi niya, pero lumapat din iyon sa gilid ng mga labi niya. Damn!

Hindi lang iyon dahil naramdaman pa niya ang mismong pagpout ng mga labi nito at narinig din niya ang munting tunog ng paghalik nito sa kanya.

His lips were soft and warm and it surprisingly feels good. Even his breath smells nice as it was fanning her face.

Then he let go... But it was only for a split-second because he immediately claimed her lips in whole!

He kissed her as if her lips were sweet candies! At sa pagkurap lang ng mga mata niya ay bigla na nitong bahagyang kinagat ang pang-ibabang labi niya! Hindi na nakuntento sa pagsipsip at pagdila, kinagat pa talaga! Damn! At mukhang mas mabilis pa sa bala kung humalik si Contreiras!

Nang muli nitong ibinuka ang mga labi nito at akmang tuluyan na nitong sasakmalin ang bibig niya ay bahagya niya itong itinulak.

Damn fuckboy. It was enough for her first kiss!

"I-I'm sorry! I got carried away. Your lips are just too... I'm sorry again, Deb."

"It's fine." tipid ang ngiti niyang wika. You got carried away because you're used to kissing your sluts whenever you want, fucker!

"A-Alright. I'll call you... Sagutin mo ha. I hope you won't avoid me because of my mistake tonight." naninigurado pa nitong wika sa kanya.

"Of course, Dean! I'm not that shallow to do it."

Napangiti na ito sa kanya ay bahagya nang umatras.

"Goodnight again... I'll get going." muli nitong paalam.

"Take care..." At baka sa susunod ay bigla ka na lang bumulagta dahil sa padalus-dalos mong kilos, Contreiras.

Tuluyan nang tumalikod sa kanya si Contreiras at sumakay sa kotse nito.

Pagkaalis nito ay napakagat siya sa pang-ibabang labi niya na kinagat din ni Contreiras kanina.

Muntik nang lamunin ni Contreiras kanina ang mga labi niya! f**k!

Not bad for her first kiss, though. He is a good kisser and his saliva tastes sweet anyway.
