Chapter 3

Reika's Point of view:

I turned around and hugged my fluffy pillow. I smiled when I touched something hard? Eh? Anong matigas sa unan ko? I shrugged and continued my sleeping beauty rest. Lumaki ang ngiti ko nang may maamoy akong mabangong pabango na panlalaki. Also, I can feel someone kissing my neck and my forehead.

Wait–

Kissing my neck and forehead?!

I automatically opened my eyes and I gasped when I saw him hugging me while his eyes were closed. Lumaki ang mata ko nang lumapit ang mukha niya sa leeg ko at magaan akong hinalikan doon.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!"

Malakas ko siyang tinulak kaya natumba siya sa kama. I took the chance and tried to get away from here but unlucky me, mabilis niya akong nahuli at kinaubabawan. My eyes widened while looking at his non-emotional eyes. The side of his lips rose up when I tried to get away from his grip.

"G-Get away! Doon! Shoo!" pagtataboy ko sa kaniya pero ang lakas niya!

I gulped when I heard his manly chuckle. Manly? Excuse me Reika? Tumakas ka'na dito at baka may masama pa siyang gawin sa'yo! Get up Reika!

"Good morning baby," he softly whispered but the manliest was still in his voice.

Umiwas ako ng tingin when he kissed me on my forehead. Bumibilis ang tibok ng puso ko but I don't know why, baka kinakabahan ako. Nakahinga ako nang maluwag nang umalis na siya sa ibabaw ko, so I took the chance and stood up. I glared at him but he's just standing in front of me, wearing that cute smirk.

Wait what?!

I shook my head and maintained my glares at him.

"Why am I here? Do you know me? Do I know you? Why do I always see you around me? Who are you?" sunod-sunod kong tanong at narinig ko naman ang mahina niyang pagtawa.

He looked at me and my eyebrows met when I saw his eyes just shined?

"You're here because you're here, yes I do know you baby and na-ah, you don't know me. Hmm maybe because we are destined to be with each other and who am I?" sunod-sunod niyang pagsagot at lumapit sa akin.

Napatingala ako dahil sa tangkad niya. He leaned on my face and caressed it. He stared at my eyes and again, I saw how his eyes shined.

"I'm your soulmate baby."

What?!

I laughed at his lame joke. Wait, just wait. Am I going to laugh right now? Honestly, is he okay? Do I need to take him to the hospital? Maybe he's sick.

"You're funny mister," natatawa kong sabi pero seryoso lang ang mukha niya.

I gasped when he held me on my waist and now, I'm facing the whole body mirror. While he's on my back, facing my neck. I gulped when he started licking my neck.

"P-Pervert!" I shouted but he didn't mind and just chuckled.

Nanlaki ang mata ko nang makita ko kung paano pumula ang mata niya. I started shaking when he opened his mouth at nakita ko ang matulis niyang dalawang ngipin.

"P-Please huwag," umiiyak kong pagmamakaawa.

Hindi ko alam na umiiyak na pala ako. Naramdaman ko ang paglayo niya sa leeg ko. I cried and cried, my hands were shaking. Maybe people will think that I'm being oa, sinong hindi matatakot sa nilalang na nasa likod ko? Mamaya baka bigla niya akong kainin.

He softly caressed my waist and kissed me on my cheeks. He's still on my back and looking at me through the mirror in front of us.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry baby. I won't do it again, hmm?" paglalambing niya at hinarap ako sa kaniya.

I stopped crying when he leaned on me and wiped my tears. Napakurap ako at suminghot. Malakas ko siyang tinulak at pinunasan ang mga luha ko.

"I n-need to go home," mautal kong sabi but napasimangot ako when he shook his head.

"Baby, stay here for a meantime. It's too dangerous for you to go outside without me by your side," pagmamakaawa niya kaya napasinghot muli ako at nagtatakang tumingin sa kaniya.

He held my hands and caressed it. I looked into his eyes and saw a glimpse of worries on it. I shook my head.

"A-Ayoko, baka mamaya y-you're going to e-eat me," mautal kong sabi at narinig ko naman ang mahina niyang pagtawa.

He walked towards me so I gulped. Napatingala ako dahil sa tangkad niya. He held me on my waist and caressed it while looking into my eyes. The side of his lips rose up.

"I won't eat you like the monsters do, I'll just eat you on bed baby," he whispered and that made me blush.

Okay, stop thinking about naughty things Reika. He's just mocking you.

"Hey bro–oh? What do we have here."

Napalingon ako sa aking likod. I gulped when I saw a man standing at the door, wearing his naughty smirk while looking at me from head to toe. Natakot ako sa titig niya at naramdaman ko naman ang paghila sa akin ng lalaking soulmate ko daw.

"I'm going to kill you if you don't stop staring at my girl like that, Alexander," madiin at puno ng authority ang boses ni soulmate ko daw.

Eh I don't know his name eh!

The man at the door chuckled and winked at me before looking at my so-called soulmate.

"Then kill me."

What's going on?

Tumaas ang kilay ko nang makita ko ang precious bag ko sa sahig. I felt my anger rise up. Bakit nasa baba ang bag ko?!

I gritted my teeth and got away from my so-called soulmate's hands. Naglakad ako palapit sa bag ko at maluha-luha itong kinuha. I tantrums like a kid when I saw some scratches on it. My baby is now dirty–argh! My precious baby, huhu.

My baby is so dumi na, may scratches pa!

I glared at my so-called soulmate and saw him looking at my bag. He looked up at me. Nanatili pa rin ang masama kong titig sa kaniya at dinuro siya.

"How dare you!"
