His Sassy Queen

Chapter 14

Tahimik lang si Diane habang nakaupo sa loob ng sasakyan ni Cloud he just won't talk to her and it's upsetting her out, hindi niya alam ang problema nito it's been three days and Cloud just won't talk to her. Hindi niya mapigil ang inis habang nakatingin sa daan, if Cloud won't talk to her then don't hindi ito kawalan. Nang maiparada ni Cloud ang sasakyan sa tapat ng resto kung saan ang usapan ng kanilang dinner kasama ang kanilang pamilya, mabilis siyang bumaba sa sakyan not waiting for Cloud.

"Lady Diane,"Wika ni Jude na sumalubong sa kanya. "What's the matter?"

Duane rolled her eyes hindi niya ito sinagot at tuloy tuloy kang na pumasok sa loob, wala siyang oras para sa ka inartehan ni Cloud. Nang makapasok ay agad niyang nakita ang isang mahabang mesa kung saan nakaupo ang kanyang magulang at dalawang nakatatandang kapatid. Wala siyang balak makipag plastican sa mga to kaya't wala siyang pinansin ni isa at agad na naupo sa silya.

"Diane greet your in law's where is your manners?" Sita sa kanya ng ama.

Diane gave him a fake smile then she looks at Cloud's parents.

"Good evening po Tita, Tito."

Tipid naman na ngumiti ang dalawa sa kanya, atleast hindi sila binastos nito. Kasunod niya na pumasok si Cloud humalik lang ito sa pisngi ng Ina at naupo sa tabi niya.

"So shall we serve the food?" Wika ng ina ni Diane para mabawasan ang tensyon.

"I'm kinda hungry balae."

The food has been served, tahimik lang silang dalawa habang nag uusap naman ang matatandanat mga kapatid niya it irritates to even hear their voices pero pinigilan niya ang sarili na mag salita wala siya sa mood.

"So hija, how is France? Nai-kuwento kasi sa amin ng Daddy mo na tumungo ka sa France."

Diane secretly rolled her eyes then she looks back at the woman.

"France is good, I planned to migrate there actually."

"Really? That's good kapag naikasal kayo ni Cloud ay puwede kayong doon tumira kung gusto mo."

Diane hum. Hindi na niya kinontra ang mga sinasabi nito dahil sasakit lang ang ulo niya.

"I would love to leave this country as soon as possible Tita," sarcastic niyang wika. "Although I'm not sure if my future husband would love the idea."

Nabitin ang pag subo ni Cloud sa kanyang sinabi his eyes darted to her.

"What?" She said. "Magiging mag asawa tayo, isn't it just right to know what you want?"

"That's true," wika ng ina ni Cloud na tila kinikilig pa sa kanyang sinabi. "Well I just hope you wouldn't run away from the wedding just like what his ex- girlfriend did."

"Mom!" Mariing wika ni Cloud. "Why are you saying that in here?!"

"I'm sorry, nabanggit ko lang naman Hijo."

Hindi na ito kumibo pa muli, Diane's eyes secretly looks at him. So iniwan ito ng girlfriend niya but why?

"Stop staring at me," Bulong nito.

Diane rolled her eyes, she just can't wait for this stupid dinner to be finished. Ilang oras pa ang lumipas ng mag paalam ang mga magulang ni Cloud na aalis na, tumayo din si Cloud upang ihatid ang mga magulang palabas kaya't sila lang ang naiwan dito.

"Diane you look so thin, kumakain kaba ng ayos?"

Agad na binitawan ni Diane ang utensils na hawak at tumingin sa ina she gave a fake smile.

"Are you seriously asking me that question?"

Tila napahiya naman ito sa kanyang sinagot at yumuko.

"Stop the act mother, ang cringe kasi."

"Will you show some respect Diane?! Ganyan ba ang natutunan mo sa France? Sa pag bubulakbol mo?"

"Respect?" Wika niya. "Kilabutan ka sa sinasabi mo Drew, you should have thought yourself that word first."

"What did you say?!"

"Enough!" Wika ng kanilang ama. "Both of you."

Padabog na tumayo si Diane, her eyes wondered to them and smirk.

"Tigil tigilan niyo na itong drama niyo, we are not a big happy family here. If you want me to marry Cloud then I will marry him so stop calling me to come and visit you for that purpose ayoko ng makita kahit sino sa inyo. I'm leaving and if you will dare to stop me from doing the things on my own umasa kayo na walang kasal na magaganap, say goodbye to the merge you want!"

Agad siyang nag martya paalis, she is not even guilty mas lalo lang nadadagdagan ang galit niya. If she could only cut her ties with them she will but she knows it's impossible dahil kahit saan siya tumungo ay mahahanap siya nito and that is how powerful her family is.

"Umuwi na tayo." Wika niya kay Cloud na papasok na muli.

Hindi na ito nag tanong at sinundan na lang siya palabas, she immediately hop on the car and sighed in frustration. Cloud followed her and started the car and drove away hindi siya nag salita he knew how upset Diane is.

"Uuwi na ako sa condo ko bukas."

Halos tumama ang ulo niya sa dashboard ng sasakyan nang biglaang mag preno si Cloud.

"Mag papakamatay kaba?! Huwag mo ako idamay!"

"Bakit babalik kana sa condo mo?"

Malakas na hinampas ni Diane ang braso nito sa inis dahil sa kanyang ginawa.

"Malamang doon ako nakatira!"

"Can't you just stay in mine?"

Diane frown.

"Bakit pala desisyon ka sa buhay ko? Hindi pa tayo kasal inuutusan mo na ako?"

"What? No! I'm not. I-I was just wondering why would you leave already?"

Diane gave him a poker look then she took her seatbelt off and jump off the car.

"Diane! Diane what are you doing?" He said still driving slowly. "Get in!"

Ngunit hindi siya nito pinansin nag patuloy lang sa pag lalakad ang dalaga na tila walang naririnig.

"Diane come on! It's getting late."

Ngunit hindi parin ito nag salita kaya't no choice siya kung hindi ang itabi ang sasakyan sa gilid at sundan ang dalaga. He sighed and watch her walk down the alley ang alon alon nitong buhok ay gumagalaw dahil sa hangin, he sighed and walk in silence behind her till she stop walking and look at the sky dahan dahan siyang lumapit at tumayo sa tabi nito tumingin siya sa mukha ng dalaga at napangiti ng makita itong naka tingala at nakapikit.

"What are you—"

"Shhh!"

Cloud zip his mouth shut and looks at her face, hindi niya maiwasan ang mapangiti habang nakatingin sa dalaga his heart is pounding while looking at her Diane affects him so much that he can't understand himself any longer.

Diane slowly opened her eyes bumaling siya sa lalaking katabi nakatingin ito sa kanya at nakangiti making her frown.

"Bakit?"

Cloud smile grew wider, napakamot ito sa sariling batok.

"You are beautiful don't you know that?"

"Kailan ba ako naging pangit?" Irap niya. "Mag co-commute na lang ako kaya balikan mo na yang kotse mo gusto ko mapag isa."

She was about to walk away but Cloud grip her wrist making her frown.

"What —" hindi na niya natapos ang sasabihin ng haltakin siya nito pabalik then his lips touch her making her eyes wide.

Ang halik nito ay napaka ingat, ang malambot na labi ng binata ay nag bibigay sa kanya ng kakaibang pakiramdam she wants to push him away but instead her arms encircled around his neck slowly closing her eyes.

----

"Ayos ka lang ba?" Wika ni Catleya sa kapatid na kanina pa tulala eto ang nag aya ng breakfast ngunit hindi ito nag sasalita. "Hey Diane."

Her eyes blink numerable times, nag focus siya sa pag kain na nasa plato at ngumiti.

"A-ayos lang."

"You don't look fine," Muli nitong wika. "May ginawa nanaman ba sila Daddy?"

"What could they possible did?" She said groaning. "They can't hurt me anymore."

"Sinasabi mo lang yan pero alam ko ang nararamdaman mo."

"Whatever I'm just tired, nakakapagod din palang mag maldita."

Catleya chuckled, kilala niya si Diane kung kamalditahan lang din ang labanan ay ilalabas niya ang kapatid para lumaban but behind those are the sweet and caring Diane she knew.

"So do you have someone special na ba?"

Halos mabilaukan siya sa tanong ng kapatid, mabilis naman na inabot ni Catleya ang tubig sa kanya at mahinang natawa.

"What's wrong with my question? Well aside from your supposed to be husband are you seeing anyone?"

"Wala! Don't ask me that kind of question again nasusuka ako."

"But you still need someone by your side Diane, hindi naman porket niloko ka ng ex mo ay lolokohin kana ng lahat."

Diane rilled her eyes, halos madurog na ang manok sa plato niya ng maalala nanaman ang walang hiya niyang Ex.

"I don't have time for that."

But then she remember Cloud the kiss they shared that night, her cheeks burned up agad niyang inalis sa isipan iyon it can't be.

"Whatever, darating din ang lalaking magiging katapat mo Diane."

She scuffed to her sister.

"Let's see about that!" Mapang hamon niyang wika but deep inside she's scared that Catleya might be right mariin niyang pinilig ang ulo, no she will prove her wrong.

Agad niyang kinuha ang cellphone ng tumunog iyon, without checking the caller Id she answered the phone and it was Cloud.

"What do you want?"

"Do you want to come to a concert?"

Diane frown. Tumingin siya sa kapatid na busy sa pag huhugas ng plato bago tumayo at lumabas ng balkonahe nito.

"Inaaya mo ba ako ng date? Sorry you are not my type."

She heard him chuckled on the other line.

"Will you go on a date with me then?"

"What?!"

"I said go on a date with me," pag uulit nito. "Scared? Scared that you'll fall in love with me."

"Ako takot?" Wika niya. "Asa ka, saan ba yang sinasabi mo?"

"Sa club lang, 10 pm sharp tonight can you come?"

Wala naman siyang gagawin at isa pa bored siya, she doesn't want to agree dahil baka isipin nito na gustong gusto niya but she wants to unwind.

"So?"

"Pag iisipan ko." With that she ended the call sakto naman na bumukas ang pinto at pumasok doon si Catleya.

"Aalis muna ako dito ka ba muna?"

Diane shook her head.

"No, may lakad din ako sabay na lang ako pauwi."

It was already 8 when she entered the club the usual smokey and loud club welcomed her ang pinag kaiba lang ay mas maingay ito ngayon. Sa dami ng tao ay halos hindi na siya makagalaw till someone started talking.

"Good evening, thank you for visiting us tonight. The live band will start shortly so ladies and gents get ready to rock the dance floor."

Diane rolled her eyes and started walking towards the bar but her foot automatically stop when someone started singing. Her head slowly turn on the mini stage and saw Cloud singing tila may hinahanap ito sa crowd till his eyes darted to her. Diane's heart started beating so loud that she can almost hear it, ang kanyang kamay ay dahan dahang umangat patungo sa kanyang dibdib habang nakatingin sa binata hindi niya maalis ang tingin dito hanggang sa matapos ang kanta all the ladies eyes are on him but his eyes is on her.

"I thought you wouldn't come I was waiting for you."

Diane gulped and look away, bakit parang ang pogi nito sa paningin niya ngayon.

"Kumain kana ba?"

She just nodded and head towards the bar counter, umorder siya ng inumin at straight iyong ininom.

"Marunong ka palang kumanta bakit di ka nag singer?"

Cloud chuckled.

"Bakit pa? Baka mas pag kaguluhan ako madami ka ng kaagaw."

"What?!"

Cloud chuckled then he stretch his hand to pinch her. "Wala, I said that you are beautiful."

"Don't touch me baka may galis ka."

Umuklo si Cloud palapit sa kanya making her heart pound even more, nilapit nito ang bibig sa kanyang tainga at bumulong.

"Nag kagalis kaba nung nag—"

"Stop right there!" Namumula niyang wika. "Uuwi na ako!"

Mabilis siyang tumayo at lumabas ng club malalim siyang bumuntong hininga. Hindi pa man siya nakaka recover sa kalandian ni Cloud ay may humaltak na sa kanya.

"Ano ba Cloud bitawan mo nga ako."

But Cloud didn't listen instead he walk towards the parking lot to his car. Mag sasalita na sana siya ng isandal siya nito sa sasakyan at siilin ng halik, mapag hanap ang halik nito she tried to resist his kisses but she couldn't instead she kiss him back with the same ferocity madilim ang parte na iyon ng parking kaya't walang makakita sa kanila, nag simula nading lumikot ang kamay ni Cloud sa kanyang harapan she can't complain because her body likes it. Mabilis na binuksan ni Cloud ang backseat inutusan siya nitong pumasok na ginawa niya naman Cloud followed her this instant he then again kiss her para siyang papel na binuhat nito at nilagay sa kandungan niya. Cloud's kisses went down to her neck down to the valley of her breast, hindi naman iyon naging mahirap dahil naka crop top lang siya at jeans.

"I want you babe..." Cloud whispered to her ears. "I want you so bad Diane."

Diane gulped while looking at his burning eyes, she wants him too and she would have her way with that thought she kissed Cloud's lips.
