13 Chapter 13

One more move, he would kiss me. I close my eyes when he moves again. I felt the touch of my lips on his cheek. Suddenly I woke up. He was reaching for something behind me! And when he reached, he went back to sitting holding the white towel. He threw it at me, right on my lap.

"Cover your legs. I don't want to see it," he said with his eyes closed as he leaned back in his chair.

None of my own I did what he said. The SUV started immediately. No words were uttered between the two of us. I enjoyed that because everything would just go into an argument if we talked. He still doesn't have the sense to talk.

I just focused my attention on the twinkling lights we passed.

After a while, the SUV still doesn't stop. I turned to the man in front. He seems to be fast asleep. Suddenly my stomach churned.

None of my own I felt I was touching it. I drew a deep sigh.

"Are we going to travel for a long time? I'm hungry, Jaime," Kris opened his eyes and immediately looked at me, "Do we have a restaurant or food chain on the way?" he asked.

I don't know if he was just hungry too or he noticed I was hungry.

"We passed the restaurant, Sir. Jollibee is the only food chain we will go through."

"Are you okay with that?" he asked referring to the Jollibee.

I nodded quickly. Am I still choosy? I'm going to eat anything now I'm still very hungry.

"Stop there. We are going to eat," he declared.

"Yes, sir," said Jaime.

I sniffed to hide the grin on my lips. He's very attentive. I think his girlfriend was very lucky to have him. There is arrogance that he hides but I think he's not that bad as Vergel or Cong Guevarra because I wouldn't be so comfortable in my seat if he was really a dangerous person.

Really, Mischa? He's going to kill you remember?

I sighed at the thought of what he had said earlier. I was right. I should not show fragility to this man and even more so I should not show that I am comfortable with him. I know he will make this as an excuse to get what he wants from me. Right now, I have nothing to trust but myself. I wonder if Vergel or Cong Guevarra is waiting for us at the mansion he says. I cannot neglect. I had to prepare for whatever might happen.

The SUV turned around and stopped in the Jollibee parking lot.

Kris looked at me. "What do you want to order?"

I raised an eyebrow at what he said. "You won't take me?"

He stared me hard in the face then he lowered his gaze to my chest to the part of my body where a towel was covered. I was flattered in my mind. I'm so stupid to ask that kind of question.

"Do you think I'll let you go out without wearing underwear?" he said seriously while staring at my face again.

"What do you want to eat?" he asked again.

"Anything," I replied quickly.

He nodded.

"Okay. Just wait here," he said. Kris pulled the door and went out there.

I leaned my whole body on the soft chair after he came out and then closed my eyes. For now, I'm going to act like nothing happened. I need to do that in order to somehow live without hesitation while formulating a plan to overthrow the Guevarras and while I'm in the hands of Kris Alexandros, I have to match all the good he does for me so that I don't have too much indebtedness to him.

I opened my eyes when the door opened a few minutes after he came out. Kris went in there and handed me some food. I took that. We started traveling again.

"Eat already." That is not a statement but a command.

He bought bucket meal. I laid down the coke next to my chair and opened the food. I looked for the spoon and fork but I couldn't find anything.

"Any problem?" he wondered.

"There is no spoon and fork in the meal you bought," I declared.

"Use your hands," he ordered.

I was pissed. Is there anything I can do? as he said I couldn't do anything but to use hands. That's not the case with me because I'm used to it. I first tossed the chicken joy and gravy. I'm halfway through and noticed that he did nothing in front of me but just staring while i'm eating.

I tasted and drank coke. "You didn't buy your food," I commented weakly.

"I'm not hungry," he said.

"So, why did we went to Jollibee?" I wondered.

"Because I noticed you're hungry," he replied.

I stopped eating and looked at him.

He was smiling now. "That's what you want to hear me say, right? Sorry but that's not totally the case. I'm just sick of the sound of your stomach. It's not good to hear. "

I don't know if it was amusement that I heard in his tone. Rather than answer him harshly, I gave him a deadly eye sting.
