Piπ

I poked rocket on the side, trying to wake him up.

"Hey."

But to no avail. He was sleeping soundly, the side of his face buried on his soft mattress.

"Rocket gising!"

He grunted, wriggled a bit but never open an eye. Where the hell did they put my gun so that I could just shoot him or somewhere para lamang magising siya?

I poked his back again. In all fairness, Rocket's body is so goals. Toned muscles, sexy neck-- honestly I have a thing for guys with neck as sexy as fuck. Dahil nakatalikod siya sa akin, I have all access to see the back of his neck, which I find so much of a turn on.

Hmmm, Harry Styles neck is my weakness.

Maybe Cooler's too.

In fairness pasok rin sa banga si Rocket. And did I mention he was sleeping topless? I have access to his sexy shoulders down to his half exposed back before his gray sheets ruined my fun of sight-seeing.

Napangisi ako sa sarili ko at bahagyang hinila pababa ang kanyang kumot upang mas makita lalo ang kanyang likod.

I was surprised to see a scar on the side. Something big and hard must have hit it to left the ugly long mark. Kahit paano ay nalungkot ako sa kanya.

Paano kaya niya nakuha iyon? I bet Uncle Flavio's life that it was so painful when it was still fresh.

My hands automatically wandered through his back, tracing his scar. Kung mayroon pang ganoon sa kabila, baka iisipin kong anghel siya. Uh, yeah guess so. I remembered the devil was once an angel.

"What are you doing?" he asked, followed by a groan.

Napabangon ako at umupo sa kama. "Finally you're awake! Rocket I am hungry."

He flipped and lay on his back. "Is that my problem?"

I pouted. "I'm hungry."

He put a pillow on his face. "I'm sleepy."

We can just sleep but I am hungry and I cannot sleep with an empty stomach.

"Kailangan mong gumising, gutom ako."

He just grunted, pressing the pillow more.

"Kung hindi mo ako pakakainin, ikaw ang kakainin ko!" I taunted him. Huh let's see how ge will react.

Tinanggal niya ang unan sa mukha at nakangiwing ginusot ang buhok. "What the hell, could you just sleep or  leave?"

"None, I want to eat." I opened my mouth and pointed inside like a kid. "Aaaah. Gusto ko pong kumain."

My childish gesture made him cringe. "Don't do that again o baka makalimutan kong babae ka."

Oh well he's pissed. It's good to piss the devil.

"Aaaaaahhh. Am am aaaahhh."

His fist curled before he pressed his eyes closed at bumangon. I wanted to dance and cheer in victory as I followed him off the bed. Hinablot niya ang kanyang damit at sinuot iyon.

"Anong nangyari sa likod mo?" tanong ko.

"None of your fucking business."

Napasimangot ako, feeling disappointed now that I cannot see his well-sculpted scarred back. "Masakit?"

He walked towards the door without answering my queries kaya sumunod lamang ako at naging makulit. "Malaki at mahaba. You must be hit with something like a huge metal."

Still no answer.

"Gaya halimbawa ng yero, baka binato ka ng yero. Or a car's door---"

Bigla siyang huminto at nilingon ako na masama ang tingin. "Shut up."

"Opsie, so it's really a car's door. Siguro bata ka pa---"

"I'm warning you titless, fucking shut up," he said in a warning tone. Whenever he used such tone, I know he's on his devil mode.

But I have a mouth and curiosity is killing me.

"Na-ambush ka ba? Sabagay, given the nature of our names, normal na iyon. May sademonyo ka nga siguro, biruin mo nakasurvive ka--"

Before I know it, I was slammed harshly on the wall. I wanted to scream in surprise but then rocket's mouth covered mine and his hand was on my neck, gently choking me.

He's kissing me, no he's punishing me. He attacked my lips ruthlessly and I can feel his rage with in.

Okay I got it. I stepped on the line, his scar might be a painful memory.

On my defense I was just curious.

But the heck he is kissing me?! I pressed my eyes closed, enduring the pain he inflicted me. He bite me hard that his ruthless kiss tasted like blood.

So I bite him back.

Huh, it takes two to tango.

"Fucking hell!" bulalas niya at bahagyang lumayo. Gamit ang daliri ay hinawakan niya ang labi na dumudugo. "You bite me!"

I shrugged. "You bite me first."

Napamura siya nang mahina ngunit hindi ko na lamang iyon pinansin. "Ryu you are hot but your lips isn't something I need. Food. I want food."

Mas lalo lamang sumama ang tingin niya sa akin ngunit gayunpaman ay nagpatuloy siya sa paglalakad pababa ng hagdan.

I followed him towards the kitchen area kung saan kuha lang siya nang kuha ng kung anu-anong pagkain at ininit iyon. He didn't even ask if I eat this or that.

"Question. Ako lang ba ang kakain, bakit ang dami?"

He didn't answer and it's bothering me. Galit ba siya dahil sa pangungulit ko o galit siya dahil nahalikan niya ako?

Haller, ang swerte kaya niya! My first kiss from a Vander should be from Cooler and only from Cooler.

"Rocket galit ka ba? On the first place ako dapat ang magalit eh, you stole what's meant for your cousin," sabi ko.

He looked at me unbelievably for some seconds bago bumaba sa labi ko ang tingin niya.

Pagkatapos ay bumaba sa katawan ko....

And yup, he frowned. Damn him.

"It was great," pag-amin ko. "We can kiss again if you feel like doing so."

He practically purred, probably disgusted of such idea which I find rather amusing. "No thanks."

Ako naman ang napasimangot at tinanaw lamang siyang maghanda ng dalawang plato. Great so we're both eating.

I sat and picked up my utensils. "But why?"

"Ayaw ko," sagot niya sa akin. "My bitches are even better than you."

"Still bitches though."

"Whatever titless, just eat," wika niya at naupo sa tapat ko at nagsimula na ring kumain.

I feel like teasing him again so...

"But why not? I am flat but hot," sabi ko.

He made a face. "Hindi ka plantsa."

"Stop trying to be funny, I am serious rocket." Nagsimula na rin akong kumain gamit lamang ang isang kamay. My shoulder is numb and painful a bit, probably the drugs' effect is slowly wearing off.

"I'm serious too jiggle bottom."

If I am not injured I would have smashed the plate on his face.

"But I am only for Cooler," sabi ko sa kanya.

"Don't make it sound like I'm into you," nakakunot ang noong sabi niya.

"But you kissed me," kontra ko. Just so I could tease him. I know very well we both are not attracted to each other despite our overflowing visuals. Yup, overflowing visuals. Gusto ko lamang siyang asarin. He kissed me so he could punish me. Wow, hindi nananakit physically ng babae si Rocket kahit palong-palo na siya.

"So I can choke you."

Knew it.

Tumawa ako at kumain na lamang. Ang hirap kumain gamit ang kabilang
kamay ko. Like fuck, I was shot on the right and I swear lulumpuin ko kung sakaling buhay pa man ang bumaril sa akin. I will make sure to make him suffer dahil hindi ako magtitira ng kahit isang braso so that he will know my struggle.

"But we can give it a try, hey rocket who knows we will work out. Don't you think?"

He looked disgusted with the idea. "Is that an offer?"

"No, just a conversation. What the fuck ang hirap kumain! I could fucking use my right arm but hey I don't want to bust a stitch!" reklamo ko.

He sighed, watching me. "I am so not fucking feeding you."

"Ew I won't let you feed me, duh."

He smirked. "Good, then magtiis ka."

Walang akong ibang choice kaya kailangang magtiiis. While slowly eating, I tried to open a topic.

"Hey rocket, nain-love ka na ba?"

He glared and refused to answer. Ryu seems angry like all the time. I guess I've seen four faces of him. One, serious. Two, angry. Three, mischievous smirking and four, adoration. Like the way he looked at his mom.

So why can't I see a happy rocket? A sad rocket? A sulking rocket? An in love rocket? An over elated rocket?

Inulit ko ang tanong ko ngunit mas lalo lamang siyang napasimangot sa akin. "Can you just eat and shut the fuck up?"

"No. So na-in love ka na ba?" I am hardheaded, I know.

He practically growled. "If you won't shut up, I am shoving a T-bone steak down your throat."

Like I'm scared.

"Like you can do that," I replied rolling my eyes. "Pero seryoso Rocket, have you been in love?"

He purred. "Who doesn't?"

I licked my spoon. "Sabagay."

Napakunot ang noo niya. "Ikaw. You didn't fall for someone?"

"Define fall."

"Hindi ka nagkagusto?"

Great, now he's the one asking question. " I like Harry Styles so damn bad and yup, your cousin."

"But never in love?"

"I was fucking in love with them, duh," sagot ko sa kanya.

"No you're not, you were obsessed," sabi niya.

"Is it how it should be called? Whatever, if that's it, so be it. I am obsessively in love with them," sagot ko sa kanya. "So, this someone you were in love with, what were they like?"

He stopped eating and by his looks, I can say he was recalling something.

"They were woman everyone will envy," sabi niya.

"What the fuck, she's Kendall Jenner?"

"What?!" nagtatakang tanong niya.

I made a face. "I am so madly envy of Kendall because of Harry! Imagine, she's flat as paper yet she fished Harry Styles?! What sorcery is that?"

He smirked. "Says the titless who's as flat as board. No, ang ibig kong sabihin they were admirable. Strong, independent and righteous--"

"In short, a boring woman," sabat ko.

"No, they were different," wika niya at sumeryoso ang mukha. "They were outrageous, brave, they stand for what's right, they had the best attributes."

"They, marami sila?"

"Two, I guess."

"Same. I love two person, Cooler and Harry," I grinned widely.

"No titless, one day you will understand what it truly means to love. Someday you will know. Someday," wika niya bago muling bumalik sa pagkain leaving me thinking about his words.

Well, maybe someday.
