Farasha’S POV
I cleared my throat somehow to shoo away the tense I suddenly felt the moment I entered in to this room. Am a bit alarmed actually that he wasn’t addressing my presence now. He just go on fixing his head on the other side of the room.
Is he mad at me? Hopefully not. I mean I was just not around for more than a day right? So what’s the fuss? Besides, I’m not his nurse or someone that check him out almost every day, right?
“Have you…” I walked near him. “…taken your medicine?” he wasn’t answering forehead slightly creased.
I bit my lip. Yeah I think he was mad.
“Hey, I brought something to eat.” I beamed as I remembered the fruit cake in the basket. I placed it on the mini table and cheerfully placed a sliced of cake in the platter. “My nanny made this for me and-” I turned to him but to be dismayed with his nonchalant expression. I pouted placing back the platter on the mini table. What was with this guy? Was he going to give me this cold treatment after we shared kisses?
Oh my gosh! I shivered for a moment. I was introduced again with my purpose of coming here. That was to clarify about that smoosh smoosh thing. I need to ask him NOW.
I cleared my throat again people. Mind you, this one was pretty difficult for me. But I needed to ask him!
Am I this desperate?
Go ask him Fara! Here you go my still small voice interfering inside my head.
“I have something to ask…” I left it hanging and gawked at RJ but he didn’t pay attention at all! My nose wrinkled quite irritated now. “Hey, talk to me!” I stepped near him.
No response! Grrr!
“Did a cat hold your tongue, Ji” I sounded sarcastic now. So what?
“Shut up,” he replied in firmly pressed lips.
“Why are you treating me like this, RJ?” I crossed my hands on my chest.
“Aren’t you the first one who treated me this way?” he snapped. “You refused to feed me countless times, you obviously avoiding me. Then… then leave me for ages!”
“Ages?!” I shrieked. This guy was overreacting really. “You’re exaggerating, Ji!”
“Then why the hell are you avoiding me?!”
I blinked many times startled by his anger.
“I have reason.” I muttered and lowered my gazed. Of course there was no freaking way that I’m gonna admit about me trembling before him because I can’t get over from that mind blowing kiss!
“What is it?”
Is he seriously asking me? I didn’t answer.
“Answer me now!”
“I can’t!” He was so oblivious of me turning so red while I stared at his lips. Oh mother, help me remember the word SUPPRESS.
He heaved a deep breath now and turned his attention to the other side of the room again.
“Ji…”I slightly shook his arm as he was planning not to say a word to me again.
“You can’t tell me, then get out.” He coldly said.
I paused for a while. Is he sending me out? Is he?
“What?” I asked as if I didn’t hear him.
No answer.
“Hey answer me!”I shook his arm.
No answer.
I’m not dealing with a manikin, am I?
I let out frustrated sighed and stomped my feet. I sat on the bed roughly still crossing my hands on my chest. I sharply turned my head to his direction then to the floor. Deep sigh again.
“Look, I really have reasons why I did that that and am seriously not telling it…at least for now.” I bit my lip then turned to him.
“A day and a half… why are you not around during that period of time.” He asked turning his attention to me. Finally!
“Does it matter?”
“Of course it matter! I was about to introduce you with my friends!” He shrieked.
“Friends?” my eyes went round. Was he kidding me? He will introduce me with his circle of friends? I could danced myself if we were in different situation!
I cheekily smile unknowingly. Oh I so wanna kiss this guy NOW! Gosh!
“Well, because I came to encounter my ex-boyfriend and I can’t stop myself but be reminded of the things between us. You can’t imagine how I controlled my intense emotion for him.” I grimaced as I remembered the anger I felt towards Andre. You know I even came up with the idea of plotting a mission to kill the guy. But I always failed. Because I can’t kill even kill a bird much more a human. “But that’s not impor-“
“Bullshit!” RJ suddenly heated up. I abruptly stood up surprise by his reaction. What was gotten into this guy again?
“You f*****g meet that bastard?!” he made a sharp intake of breathed then faced me. I was pretty sure he was giving me the deathly glare now. Goodness! I’m still lucky that those eyes were still wrapped with bandages or else I’ll be dead meat by now!
“What’s the fuss? I came across with him coincidentally!”
He turned his back from me and massaged his temple. I could hear him cursed within himself.
As I was about to approach him, I stopped myself when I was greeted by his grim expression he then carelessly grabbed both of my shoulders.
“Do you still love him?" he asked frantically shaking me. GOODNESS MEO!!! How can I possibly answer him shaking me like a lifeless doll?
He squeezed my arms applying a pressure on it making me winced in pain. “Ji… you’re hurting me!”
That was when he loosened his grip on my shoulder but he didn’t let go. He heaved a deep breath trying to compose his sanity. As if the fiasco inside him was just too great for him to handle. He didn’t even calm his nerve down even a bit.
My heart was beating wildly now. This one hell of a situation was giving me the creep. I can feel his heavy breathing against mine now!
“Do you still love him? Do you----s**t! NO! YOU CAN’T!!!” he raked his hair in frustration while his jaw clenched. He unceremoniously let me go and turned against me.
All I want to do now was to concentrate on calming my heart now. It had been skipping from its normal beat. My chest constricted at a view of him. He was as if looking for something he can’t reached.
I unconsciously hugged him at the back. I want to shoo away the burden his carrying now. I can felt he momentarily froze as I rest my head to him.
“RJ… what on earth is gotten into you now?” I stepped in front of him and cupped his face. “Tell me…”
He brought his hands to my mine and pressed his lips on them. I slightly jolted somehow I found it strange why it felt it right to feel his lips on my palms.
“You can’t love him now baby girl…” he proceeded with kissing my hands then wrapped his arms to my waist. He pulled me closer to him. “Please forget about him.”
I looked at him reading every word from his lips. I can’t seem to easily digest his every word. My CPU was buffering now! He infected me with his virus called ‘INTENSE EMOTION’!!!
I suddenly frowned with the thought. How am I suppose to forget that asshole again? I mean, he marked me!!! I so wanna scratched this tattoo on my back this instant and start my life again. I sighed.
“I can’t,” I innocently muttered.
“You,” he deeply breath suppressing the anger building up inside him. “You… can’t forget him?!”
He goes ballistic again. I’m gaping my mouth open then closed. Oh my gosh! Come on bird-brain, think of some words NOW!
“Ji-RJ….let me explain-”
“You love that bastard that much, huh?!” he pushed me sending me away from him. I strode towards him.
He got me all wrong!!!
“He marked me Ji! That’s why I can’t forget him!” I tried to reason out but this infuriated him more. I was taken aback but he forcefully grabbed my waist.
“He marked you?!” he asked, I nodded. “s**t! I’m gonna kill him!”
He roughly let go of me again.
“Ji…” I tried to reach him. How the hell am I going to calm this guy?!
“I’m gonna kill him…”He said dangerously sending chills on my spine.
He sat frustrated on the edge of his bed then pulled a handful of his hair. “Girl, how can you make me this mad?”
He looked up to me. I could imagine his eyes pleading to me now. I cupped his face again and give him a quick peck on the lips.
“I don’t love him anymore, Ji…” I carefully caress every word to my tongue making sure that he will get my message clearly.
Silence
“You don’t?”
I nodded.
He then gathered me with his arms and pressed me against himself. I yelped in surprise when he scoped me up and put me in his bed. He then hovered on top of me kissing me without warning.
I couldn’t response for a moment but when he gently bit my lower lip, I can’t suppress it anymore. I kissed back. I even initiated to deepen it. DANG! THIS IS SO UNLIKE ME!
He let go of my lips then showered me with his tiny kisses all over my face. He went to my jaw line then he down on my neck sniffing it deeply then he covered my eyes with his left hand then nibbled as he slightly bit me.
I could imagine my eyes in perfect circle as I could feel what he was trying to do with me precious neck. He had no idea about the sensation he was giving to me now.
“Ji…No!” I tried pushing him but he won’t budge. He didn’t stop there and continued dipping on my neck with my eyes still covered with his hands. “RJ! You can’t just feast-!” I clamped my mouth with my hands as I heard myself moaned. Darn it! Why do I sound sexy?
I think I’m gonna die there on that spot feeling his lips on my neck! When I’m about to lose it, he uncovered my eyes and snapped my hands from covering my mouth. He kissed me again more passionately this time. So gentle, taking his time savoring my mouth.
Then I felt he lifted up my hands above my head then slid something onto my finger.
“You are mine…” he huskily said still holding my hand.
He rested beside me then pulled me closer to him. I was left staring at the ring on my finger.
I shifted my position facing him and looked at him questioningly.
“You’ve become mine even the day you stepped into this room. I don’t share what’s mine to anyone.” He said as if reading my mind. I gazed at the ring. Of course I’m not dumb not to understand the meaning of this Cartier ring.
He’s locking me to him!
Squeal with me people!!!!
Oh me gosh!
I caught a ring to his finger too and I caught his hand to have a good look on it. The same graffiti! It was a couple ring! Made especially for us!
“This is a ring on my finger?!” I exclaimed in disbelief. “And in your finger, Ji!”
He chuckled.
“For now I got this marked on you for a moment…then I’ll permanently mark you after I can finally remove these freaking bandages.” He said gently stroking my neck then kissed it.
“Marked? What mark?” I asked dumbfounded then I gaped my mouth open when I remembered what he did while back. I immediately scampered from the bed and ran to the bathroom. I was in great horror when I could see in the mirror the very visible kissed marks on my neck!
“You damaged my neck!” I marched outside the bathroom and accused the instigator. He smiled biting his lower lip. He looked delicious….drool.
“What’s the matter? I just marked what’s mine.” The smile again. Grrrr!
“Now how can I hide these hickeys?!” I asked stomping and sat on the bed pouting. How can I hide these to my Chisamie? She was ninja good in smelling something fishy on me. Now I’m dead.
Philine’s POV
I started marching towards master Rui’s room when I heard him swear at the top of his lungs. All of us were rooted at once and exchanged glances. We kinda having our weak knees after hearing the dragon shout making the whole floor shook for a moment.
“What was that?” Mia shook me slightly. CL and Gian gathered around me with the same question in their faces.
I darted my gazed on the door. “The dragon’s mad.” I said almost a whisper. I could see Gian gulped many times. Yeah sure, he wasn’t the one who knows about the consequence of making RJ mad.
“Maybe it’s his migraine?” CL reasoned out quite uncertain.
I shook my head. I doubt it. I know Rui so as the Spades. He will not wail or even shout like that if he was in pain. We know better.
I was about to speak when an inaudible voice, coming from RJ’s room was fighting back our dear master.
It was a girl’s voice!
We animatedly tiptoed near the door and pressed our ears on the door frame. The picture was clear, we were eavesdropping now.
Every now and then, we gaped our mouth open. It was as if a choreography as we never failed to have a perfect coordination when it comes to our reactions. We clamped our mouth wide eyes while my stupid boyfriend-may I introduce to you, Gian, would stand frozen then relaxed a little bit then would froze again. I can’t blame him, can I?
What we were hearing now was very unlikely. We could hear our master almost pleading to the girl about ‘you can’t love him now’ statement noting how these two girls beside me held their deadly dagger on their hands.
One wrong statement from you, baby girl and you’re dead!
We were still eavesdropping when a nurse, maybe in her 30’s, suddenly sprang up out of nowhere.
“Eavesdropping is rude, ladies and…” she stared at Gian. “…and gentleman.
Gian cleared up his throat as he straightened up himself somehow embarrassed with what he did.
We fixed ourselves in front of her and tried to compose our poise. She smiled inwardly to us. I held my chin up hoping to regain my pride.
“Why don’t you come inside?” she said then reached the door knob to open it.
We suddenly blocked her way making her stepped back.
“They are still fighting.” I said
“They are having a war.” Mia added waving the dagger unconsciously.
“They are killing each other.” CL butted in.
Gian coughed. “They are just having love fights.”
We, the Spades and I, looked at him blankly. How can I have this kind of stupid boyfriend? He saw things differently! You can’t call it love fights!!!
“I guess you’re right, young man.” I heard the nurse agreed to him.
Maybe we were busy talking over things that we failed to notice that there was a truce between them already. I noticed Mia was back to eavesdropping a while ago.
After a while…
“He gave the ring already!” Mia excitedly clapped her hands
“He did?” CL’s eyes were sparkling now.
“What ring?” I asked confused with these two in front of me.
“The ring! The couple ring he requested from me!”CL giddily smiled at me.
“The Cartier ring?” I asked round eyes.
“The couple ring… I designed them.” She said with added pride in her voice. I know that she had been the country’s famous jewelry designer. She specialized in designing Cartier rings earning her credits from lots of celebrities here in Korea and in Hollywood.
We pressed our ears again in the door frame oblivious of the nurse shaking her head because of our stubbornness.
“What’s the matter? I just marked what’s mine.” We heard our master said.
We were puzzled as to what our master was saying about ‘marked what’s mine’. Until we hear the girl whined.
“Now, how can I hide these hickeys!?”
We were gaping our mouth open. We looked each other and covered our mouths to control the squeals that were about to escape!
We hurriedly scampered away from that area still covering our mouths. When we were a distance away, we just lose it and squealed like high school girls as we were as if spazzing over our crushes.
Gian was behind us catching his breath from running after us. I hugged him suddenly which caught him off guard. The two girls followed and hugged the two of us also. We were jumping in circle as if we’ve won in a contest.
We were so giddily happy for our master! I would like to give that baby girl a hug for fulfilling her promise to HIM. I’m gonna give her a big hug!
