Killa Maffia

CYRIL

Habang nakaupo sa aking kama ay biglang nagvibrate ang phone ko kaya tinignan ko yun.

*Blue*

-Someone triggered us to fight them again. You need to come Black. It's Diablos.

Napakunot ang noo ko. Blue is rarely using this number. And this number is just for personal and important matters.

What did Diablos want this time?

*Black*

-What time?

Sent...Delivered...Maya maya naman ay nagreply siya.

*Blue*

-8:00. Are you coming?

Medyo maaga pa naman kaya makakapunta pa ako and I think this is really important to just slip under my fingers.

*Black*

-I'm coming.

After I send that, I take a quick shower. Ang suot ko ay white sleeveless at jersey. Bumaba na ko at naabutan ko si Manang na nagluluto na sa kusina. Naabutan ko rin si Athena sa sala at nanunuod ng TV. Lumapit ako sa kanya at umupo rin sa couch.

"Hey. Kakai-" napatigil siya ng lingunin niya ako. Tinignan niya ang suot ko at tsaka siya napalunok.

That makes me smirk. Did I entice her? Well, that not new to other people especially girls but to her, this is new!

Umiwas siya ng tingin sa akin at hindi na tinapos ang sasabihin. Itinoon niya ang atensyon sa TV so I pick up the remote and turn it off so I can get her attention again.

Bigla naman siyang napatingin sa akin at masama ang tingin niya. I again, smirked. This is the Athena I knew.

"Why did you turn off the TV!? Gosh!! Didn't you see I'm watching!!?" naasar niyang sabi sa akin. I chuckled kaya mas sumama ang tingin niya. How I miss this other Athena!

"Why bother? Your mind right now wasn't on the TV. Am I right?" sabi ko tsaka mas lalong ngumisi kaya mas lalo naman siyang naasar.

"Wh-What!? I...I...Damn! Just turn it on!!" sabi niya kahit gusto niya kung tignan sa mata ay hindi niya magawa. Cause she's blushing. She's really changing when she is blushing.

She's turning cute.

Umiling ako at tumayo. Itinaas ko ang kamay kong may hawak ng remote tsaka siya tinignan ng nakakaasar. Mas sumama naman ang expression niya at pilit na inaabot sa kamay ko yung remote.

And because I'm taller than her ay hindi niya iyon maabot. Hanggang leeg ko lang siya at nakataas pa ang kamay ko so getting this remote is really impossible! And the thought of that makes me want to tease her more.

"You want it on? Do it yourself" sabi ko at ngumisi.

"Then give me that thing!!!" sigaw niya. Hindi ko inasahan yun kaya na out of balance ako at naisama ko siya.

Fuck!

I was fast enough to cover her head before it hits the floor. And my other hand was on her waist.

The fuck!!! That caught me off guard! Muntik na siyang masaktan. And that fucking because of me!

Nakapikit siya ng mariin kaya naman malaya ko siyang natitigan. At bakas ang takot sa mukha niya.

See what you did Cyril?! You scared the hell out of her!!

When she opened her eyes, her expression suddenly changed. From scared to shocked. Doon ko lang narealize na sobrang lapit ko pala to the point that I can feel her breathing.

Napababa ang tingin ko sa labi niya. Bahagyang nakabuka yun. Napalunok naman ako. It's tempting! I'm tempted to kiss that edible vicious lips of her!

And I just found myself slowly leaning in. About to kiss that very tempting edible lips and my temptation gets higher when I saw her close her eyes again. And I also did what she do. I close my eyes too.

I was about to kiss her when-

"Iho, iha kak- ayy jusmiyo! Pasensya na!" Manang shouted then ran back to the kitchen.

Agad akong napamulat at ganon rin ang ginawa niya sabay tulak sa akin kaya mabitawan ko ang ulo niya.

"Ouch!" sabi niya at agad na napahawak dito. Gulat ko siyang tinignan tsaka ko siya agad na nilapitan.

Hinawakan ko ang kamay niya at agad ko siyang pinaupo. Parehas kaming nakaupo sa floor ngayon.

"Are you okay?" I immediately said as I look at her face grimaced.

"No, I'm not. Ang sakit!" sabi niya habang hawak parin ang likod ng ulo niya. Pwumesto naman ako sa likod niya at ibinaba ang kamay niya.

"Let me see" sabi ko at ako ang humawak sa ulo niyang nagkabukol ata. I shouldn't have let her push me. Yan tuloy nagkabukol pa siya.

"May bukol ba?" halos mangiyak ngiyak niya ng sabi. Tumango naman ako kahit hindi niya ako nakikita dahil nakatalikod ako sa kaniya.

"Yeah" I worriedly said. Mukha namang nagulat siya at agad na humarap sa akin.

"May bu-bukol!? What!? Mayroon tal-"

"Hey, don't worry. I'll just put cold compress so it will be gone. No need to be worry." sabi ko at hinawakan ang dalawa niyang kamay. Napatingin siya doon at muling tumingin sa akin. Dahan dahan siyang tumango.

"Now, get up and let's eat." sabi ko at tinulungan siyang tumayo. Buti naman at mukhang nakalimutan niya yung nangyari kanina. I know she would avoid me if she knew.

Ng makapasok kami sa dining ay hindi makatingin si Manang sa amin and I think that makes Athena remember what happened before. She remembers the kiss.

I look ay her at bigla rin niya akong tinignan at agad din siyang napaiwas ng tingin ng makita niyang nakatingin ako at tsaka napayuko. Now, this is what I am talking about. Things get awkward.

Where is the Athena back then? The one who loves to answer me back? The one who's always shouting and always opposing to what I am saying? If that Athena is the same as the one who is in front of me, she would probably slap me and kill me with her words right now. But this Athena is different and I'm liking it. Though I don't know why.

Ng umupo siya ay umupo na rin ako sa harap niya. Habang kumakain kami ay hindi mapakali si Athena. I'm sure naiilang parin siya dahil sa nangyari kanina. Binilisan ko na ang pagkain ko para nakakain na ng maayos si Athena and I also need to prepare for the battle later.

Ng matapos ako ay agad na akong umakyat sa aking kwarto ko. I still have 30 minutes to prepare.

I wore my typical attire when going to underground battles. A black t-shirt and cover it with leather jacket then just ripped jeans. I also wore my leather shoes kung saan may secret pocket. Nilagyan ko naman ng dagger ang secret pocket nito, just in case.

Sumilip muna ako bago tuluyang lumabas. Ng makita kung wala na si Athena roon at si Manang ay agad akong bumaba at lumabas ng bahay.

Ohhh, and I texted Blue a while ago to send my motor bike here. And good news dahil nandiyan na ang motor bike ko. Hindi na ako nagdala ng baril kasi sa underground battle ay may rule na bawal pumatay kaya hindi kami nagdadala ng baril tsaka kaya naman namin sila kahit hindi kami gumamit ng weapons.

Before I forgot,

Our gang name is KILLA MAFFIA.

We wear half face mask especially when fighting. Not wearing a mask is like critically putting ourselves in danger. Kami kasi ang Rank 1 sa Underground World. We also have different nicknames but we're just using it if we are Killa Maffia.

Mark Cyril Romero. Known as BLACK in Killa Maffia. Yes, that is me. I'm cold inside and outside. I'm not the kind of person that is showy. I rarely talked, laughed, and smile. I mastered Martial Art, Karate, Taekwondo, Judo, and other body fightings. I also mastered how to use guns.

Brent Corpuz. He is known as BLUE in Killa Maffia. He is the kind of person that always tell a joke. Hindi sineseryoso ang usapan. He is also the clown of the gang. But he is very serious in gang fights and he mastered technologies. He's our tracker man in our group.

Michael Garcia. Known as GREEN. He is just like me. He's not showy and talkative. He's the opposite of Brent cause he is a serious type of man. He mastered swords. He knew all the different types of swords.

Christian Hyo. GRAY in Killa Maffia. He is the playboy and cassanova in our group. He's always in the bar. And if party is the topic, he's probably always present. He mastered bombs, grenades, and how to use an arrow and bow.

Ng makarating ako sa parking lot ng Underground World ay agad kung isinuot ang mask ko. They can probably tell who I am because of my mask color. Because the color of our mask is our name and the logo on the side of our mask represents our gang.

Our logo is two daggers forming an 'x' and a skull in the middle with blood dripping all over it.

Scary? It should be! Because Killa Maffia have no mercy!
