Semua Bab Gin and Vodka: Bab 21 - Bab 30

An hour after breakfast, Jasper arrived, he and Eugene left home and went to the city. She wanted to ask Eugene what was happening but she couldn't find the timing and it always slipped her mind. She couldn't think of anything but him when he's with her.    She had a hunch that Eugene's business had to do with the shooting incident that happened in her shop. Vodka can feel that Eugene knew something, now that she thinks about it, Eugene's not telling her a single detail about the threat in her life. He promised when he brought her to her house that he will take care of anything and that she doesn't need to worry much.    Somethings not right with Eugene. He was supposed to be curious and bombard her with questions.    With a troubled mind, she went inside Eugene's room and sat on the bed. Namula ang kanyang mukha maging ang kanyang leeg ng makitang iba na ang kulay ng sapin sa kama. Eugene must've changed

Napatili si Vodka dahil sa ginawa sa kapatid at nanlalaki ang mga matang napatingin sa gawi ni Eugene. Nakahinga lang siya ng maluwang nang makitang hindi ito tinamaan, tumama ang bala sa pader.   "Felix, you're out of the line! You could've killed him, you could've killed him..." she cried in anger and fear. Her body racked with an onslaught of sobs and tears.   Marahas na hinawi ni Felix ang kuwelyo ng damit ni Vodka. "Look at yourself!"   Hinawi ni Vodka ang kamay ng kapatid at inayos ang kuwelyo ng kanyang damit. Nakita nito ang mga markang dulot ng mga halik ni Eugene habang sila'y nagniniig kagabi. "I hate you. I hate you, Felix!"   She ran towards Eugene's room and went inside. She sat on the carpeted floor and cried.   Eugene sighed while looking at the door of his room. He then looked at Felix whose anger turned into regret. He understands that he was just doing his role

"P-Please... kiss me, Gin. Please," Vodka begged. Hot tears were forming in the corner of her eyes. "Please."   Vodka needed distraction, she needed and wanted Eugene. He made her feel safe, his kisses chased all her worries away and his touch made her forget about the things that troubled her. She doesn't care if Felix was outside, she wanted him.   Hindi matagalan ni Eugene ang mga mata ni Vodka na punong-puno ng iba't ibang emosyon. Naroon ang takot, kaguluhan, pagod at pagmamakaawa. Tinawid niya ang distansiyang nakapagitan sa kanilang mukha. He initiated the kiss this time, Vodka was still responding like how she kissed him earlier, frantic and rough. But the movements of his lips were softer and comforting, wanting her to feel at ease.   Hindi kalaunan ay naging malumanay ang pagtugon ni Vodka sa mga halik ng binata. Isang ungol ang nakulong sa mga labi ni Eugene nang maramdaman ni Vodka ang marahang paghaplos ng m

"KAILAN natin sila papasukin, Russo? Naka-standby na ang mga bata, hudyat mo na lang ang kailangan nila." Kalmadong itinapon ni Russo ang hawak na stick ng sigarilyo sa lupa at inapakan. Mariin ang ginawa niyang pag-apak na para bang iyon ang taong target nila. "That house is a fortress. Bago pa tayo makalapit ay alam na nilang parating tayo, it will give them a chance to escape." Tiningnan ni Russo ang tauhan na natahimik dahil sa kanyang sinabi at mabigat ang kamay na tinapik ang balikat nito. Kapagkuwan ay umalis siya mula sa pagkakasandal sa hood ng sasakyan na nakatigil sa gilid ng daan. "Let's go, may kailangan tayong puntahan." Isang hiling sulyap ang ginawa ni Russo sa daan patungo sa bahay ni Eugene Lorenzo. Alam niyang may mga nakatagong kamera sa mga punong nakapaligid sa bahay nito. And the house itself was a state of the art. Sa mataas na pader pa lang na mahirap tibagin, puwera na lang ku

"I think we lost them. Just keep on driving, we can get out of this cornfield. There's a plain at the back of this field, when we get there we can escape through the narrow road and get to my house."   Ngunit iba ang kinahinatnan sa inaasahan ni Eugene. Pagkalabas na pagkalabas nila sa maisan ay agad na sumalubong ang siyam na mga kalalakihan at nakatutok ang baril sa kanilang sasakyan.    Mahilo-hilo si Vodka nang tumama ang kanyang ulo sa steering wheel nang bigla niyang apakan ang preno. Pareho silang walang suot na seatbelt ni Eugene, mabuti na lang at nakahawak ito sa gilid ng sasakyan kung 'di ay nasubsob na sa dashboard.   "Are you okay?" Eugene checked on Vodka. There's a concussion on her forehead but it wasn't that serious though it made Vodka dizzy.    She groaned and touched that throbbing
