ALESSANDRO GAMBINO (The Black Sparrow Society) Chapter 20
VANCOUVER, BC"What time should we meet?" She was on the phone with Cas. Hindi niya alam na pupunta rin ito sa Vancouver para bisitahin ang mga pinsan. If she knew, nagsabay na lang sana sila. "Well, what time do you finish your workshop?" "Uhm, four in the afternoon. I am staying in the same hotel where the conference is so I have time to get ready.""That's convenient. What do you feel like having? Steak? Seafood? Chicken? I would cook for you if I had my own place here, but I don't so I'm going to take you out." Alam niya ang sinasabi nito. The Carnegie family is close knit. Palibhasa ay napakatipid gumawa ng bata ng mga ito kaya kapag may pagkakataon ay palaging nagkikita-kita. It was a surprise for her dahil usually, most British family are reserved and see each other during the holidays. Hindi ka basta pwedeng bumisita with short notice. "I will eat anything. I am not picky." She was in the washroom at may kinse minutos silang break from the workshop. Nagreretouch s'ya ng ma

Nakabalik s’ya sa workshop, pero wala na roon ang isip niya. Ale occupied her whole mind and she can’t stop thinking about the damn kiss. She kept looking at the time. Gusto na niyang matapos ang workshop ngayon para makapagbabad s’ya sa tub. She definitely needs a drink after this. She was sitting near the back at maraming bakanteng silya. Since she does not know anyone, wala s’yang katabi. Hindi niya alam kung nagdedeliryo ba s’ya o hindi, o baka naman kumapit na sa damit niya ang amoy ng lalaking 'yon, dahil ngayon ay naaamoy niya pa rin si Ale. Her back felt hot. Kanina nang umupo siya ay siguradong walang nasa likod. But now, she's not so sure anymore. Unti-unti s’yang lumingon at namilog ang mga mata niya. There he was. Again. Hindi niya alam kung paano ito nakapasok sa workshop nila. Wala naman ito sa listahan. “What are you doing here?!” asik niya sa lalaki. Mahina ang kaniyang boses dahil ayaw niyang maka-attract ng atens’yon.“Just listening. Mancini’s a friend." She kn

"Whatever you're going to say, you can say it from there. And say it fast, I want to get some rest before I go out tonight." He frowned. "You're going out on a date?" Pietra didn't answer him. Tumayo s'ya at naglakad papunta sa babae. Sa kauurong nito ay muntik ng mapatid sa silya. Mabuti na lang at kaagad niyang nahawakan sa baywang. They are so close together at hindi nakatulong ang suot nitong bestida. He can still feel the heat from her body. "Y-Yes." "I asked you to be with me, but you said no. Are you dating exclusively now?" He does not like this. Not at all. And even if they were dating exclusively, it's not going to stop from getting what is his. Sigurado s'yang ang batang babae na hinalikan niya noon sa Florida ay si P. Why she's denying it is another matter, but he will find out why sooner or later. He remembered that young girl saying she's saving her first kiss for the man she's going to marry or her future husband. Something like that. And he intends to do just that.

He's okay with pursuing her. But not kissing her?? She can't be serious."You do realize you're half naked right now. And if I didn't stop, something would have happened between us.""And your point?" tanong nito sa kaniya. Hindi pa rin umaalis mula sa kandungan niya. "Don't like as if this is the first time you've seen tits—""Pietra!" Pero rumolyo lang ang mga mata nito. "What?" Natatawa itong tumayo at dinampot ang bra pati na ang bestida na tinanggal niya kanina. "Just because you got to third base does not mean that I will automatically become yours. Besides, I want to see how you're going to pursue me. Gusto mo, bigyan pa kita ng kompetisyon para ganahan ka?""Don't you dare." "Then galingan mo." Pietra went to the bathroom and turned on the shower. Nakita na lang niya na isinara na nito ang pinto. Iniwan lang s'ya ng basta-basta. He wrote her a quick note before leaving her room. Nang makapasok s'ya sa sariling suite ay hindi niya alam kung maliligo na ba s'ya o tatawagan si

“When do you want to get married?”Nabitin sa ere ang tinidor ni P. He chuckled, because he knew she did not see that one coming. Priceless ang expression ni Pietra.“Iilang oras ka pa lang nanliligaw, gusto mo na ako kaagad pakasalan?” She laughed a bit. Mukhang nakabawi na ito sa pagkabigla. “I have my own place, a job, lots of money and I am old enough to sign the marriage certificate without needing my parents’ consent. Why wait?” He took a sip of his drink. Itinuloy ni Pietra ang pagkain. “Tsk. Hindi mo pa nga alam kung anong klaseng pamilya mayroon ako. Paano kung lahi pala kami ng mga kriminal, pakakasalan mo pa rin ako?”Sa tono ni Pietra, hinahamon s’ya nito. Kung baho rin lang ng pamilya ang pag-uusapan, baka mas lamang pa ang mga Gambino kaysa Profaci. The business they’re into is fairly similar— parehong illegal. It involves a lot of money, and taking a life if push comes to shove.“Would you still marry me if you found out I killed someone?” balik tanong niya kay Pietra.

Like a real gentleman, he walked Pietra back to her hotel room. No kiss just as she wanted. The last thing he wants to ruin what he started. At kung ito ang paraan para maging sa kaniya ang dalaga ay gagawin niya. Lahat naman halos ng babae ay gusto ang sinusuyo. Pietra is no different in that matter. “I had a great time and the food’s great.”Tumigil sila sa harap ng pintuan nito. It's funny how his room is beside his. Sinadya niya talaga 'yon nang mag-check in s'ya. All he had to do was charm the receptionist. Ganoon pa man ay ayaw nitong sabihin sa kaniya kung ano ang room number ni Pietra. All he was told is that the room will be close to the person he's asking for.“I’m glad you enjoyed tonight. I will see you tomorrow.”Hinintay niyang makapasok ito sa loob ng silid saka nagtungo sa sariling suite. He felt tired and happy at the same time. Ngayon lang niya naisip na mahirap palang manligaw lalo na at hindi basta-basta ang babae. P is playful and funny. But behind that, he also

NEW YORK He didn't think he'd back here so soon, but for P— he did. The city looked the same way he left it. The bright lights still compliment the skyline and the amount of people who continuously roam around the streets are still there. "You missed New York that much?" nakangiting tanong ni P sa kaniya. He smirked at her. "Not really. You are the only reason why I'm here." Lulan sila ng sasakyan ni P at hindi kaila sa kaniya ang dalawang lalaking sumundo sa kanila kanina sa airport. They didn't look like an ordinary butler or driver, pero 'yon ang pakilala ni P sa mga ito kanina. The Mafia Don's princess could have more bodyguards. Sa Vancouver ay may dalawa rin na umaaligid sa kanila, at nang sumakay sila ng eroplano ay lumulan din ang mga ito. It was when they landed in New York and saw the other men's presence that they turned around and took the next flight. "Okay, if you say so. Do you want to go out for dinner or do you want to cook? I figured I can let you rest tonight. I

“Are they joining us?” tanong niya kay P habang naghahain.“Yes. You don’t mind, do you?” Pietra was back in no time. Nalaman niya na sa kabilang unit lang tumitigil ang dalawang matanda. Umiling s’ya. “It’s fine. Do they have allergies?”“Wala naman. Magnus loves lemons so you can add a few more slices on his plate. Rob is easy. He likes anything. Are we eating in five minutes?”“Yes. These are done.” Inilapag niya ang dalawang plato sa mesa. The table is good for four people and although the unit is modest, para sa isang kapatid ng Mafia Don, she could have a bigger suite— maybe a penthouse even. It showed me how simple P can be. Hindi s’ya maluho. And although there is nothing cheap in her things, kumpara sa iba ay mas mura pa rin ang mga ito. “Plating and all, look at you. Are you sure you’re on the right profession? Parang hindi ka naman bagay maging Chemical Engineer.”“Mas bagay akong asawa mo,” wala sa loob na sagot niya kay P.P laughed and waved her hand. “Masyado kang a
