Chapter 18 Owning Katie

"Can you please behave Katie?" He raised his voice on me when we came back to my condo unit.

"I am not doing anything wrong Enrique!" I answered.

"Yes, you are not doing anything. The vape? It is bad for your voice." He said.

"My voice is none of your business!" I shouted.

"But you are my business Katie, please. If we have problems, let's fix it. I can't lose you." He said and cornered me on the wall.

"You will never lose me because I'm not yours." I said and I was about to get out if his arms but he hold my wrist.

"Katie. From now on. You are mine." He said and I froze.

"W-what?" I asked him. I'm nervous.

"You are mine, can't you undestand that?" He said.

"Okay?" He asked.

"I a-am y-yours." I said and he let me go.

"We belong with each other so I have rules, is it okay to you?" I nodded.

"My first rule is don't go out with Gelli, she is just taking you anywhere to have a companion in drinking wines, isn't it?" I nodded.

"See. You admit it. She is no longer a good influence to you.

"I know, but why did I felt happy when we are hanging out?" I asked.

"That was really happy thing at first, but trust me, it will lead you in the bad life. A life that you didn't ever dream of, a miserable life. And who knows of someday she will take you in a drug den. I'm sorry for the words but like what you always heard from me. I care for you and I will protect you. Specially now, I am your boyfriend." He said.

"They started it the other night, right? When some of her filipino friends put a party drugs on my wine." I said because I remembered it.

"Yes, that's why I fetch you there. It wasn't safe. There are a lot of drug addicts partying in that bar. There are policemens that keep on raiding that place." He said.

"Quen, what if I was marked as drug test positive? What will happen to me?" I asked out of curiosity.

"You will get inside the rehabilitation center for 2 years. You will do handicrafts and other chores. The life there are not that easy. It was like a prison." He said and that gets me afraid.

"I am afraid." I said.

"You don't need to, I will never let that happen." He said and slowly carresed my back.

"Thank you for being always at my side." I said.

"Anytime Katie. Anytime." He said and when he was about to kiss me, my Little Kiko bark. Thanks to you my little one.

"Kiko huh? You are disturbing us. I was about to kiss your Mommy." He said and a smile plastered on his face.

"Well, if Daddy Quen will scold you, Me, I will not do that, I will say thank you because you stop Daddy from kissing me.

" Arf! Arf!" He barked hard.

"Kiko? Why?" I ask while holding him, he looks at Enrique.

"I guess I know the reason Katie, he's wondering why you called me Daddy earlier." Enrique said.

"Come on Kiko, I already called Tito Quen as Daddy because, he's your Dad now, he is my boyfriend." I said and I saw Enrique biting his lower lip. So sexy.

"Arf! Arf!" My little poodle barked again.

"I think my little poodle is now happy, oum Quen? Can I leave him with you for a while? I just need to go in the theater productions, I have meeting." I said.

"Katie, I also have work. I think if you couldn't bring Kiko on the theatre production office, me. I'm the one who will bring Kiko on my show." He said.

"But it's a public event right? How could you bring him?" I asked.

"If I can do a dog show, fine. I'll do dog show. I know how to showcase the talents of a dog." He said and winked his eyes.

"Shut up! You're making me laugh Quen. I'll just bring Kiko on the office, he's allowed to came inside." I said.

"Are you sure?" He asked.

"Yeah, he's my dog anyways, my responsibility. Not yours." I said and get my bag, I also put the string on Kiko.

"See you later Babe." He said and kissed me before I get inside the Taxi. I don't want to bring my car because I am with Kiko right now.

"Hi Gabby." I said when I saw her waiting again for me on the door.

"You are blooming huh? What happened last week? You didn't update me my dear." She said.

"Sorry Gabby, I am just happy." That answer was super showbiz.

"Happy because of a thing? Or should I say person? Is this Nicko?" She asked playfully.

"Yuck Gabby! Don't mention that name!" I said.

"Yiee, or should I say Enrique? Yes or no, Are you in a relationship?" I can't lie to my bestfriend.

"Yes. I never thought that we can be in a relationship, but I already fell for him. And we feel the same, it all started with a pretention." I said and we came inside the office. Mr. Jonathan is here. The father of Nicko.

"Good morning Sir." I said.

"Oh hello Katie, is this your dog? He is so cute." Mr. Jonathan said and when he was about to cuddle Kiko, Kiko barked so hard, Mr. Jonathan looks afraid.

"I am sorry Sir, Kiko doesn't know you." I said and I was also thinking that Nicko is here, because his dad is here also.

"I called you here because you have an upcoming project, but it have a very good twist, a good and evil sister. Gabrielle is the good sister and Katie is the evil. I trust the two of you so don't disappoint me. That's all for now, good bye." He said and closed his folders and then leave.

"So that's all?" Gab laughed.

"I think so haha." I laughed.

"Do you have plans this night?" She asked.

"Yeah, I'm going to watch Quen's public show, I want to support him." I said.

"Really? I'm coming with you too, where is this show?" She asked.

"SM Marilao, at Bulacan Philippines." I said.

"I know the place, so let's go." She said and offered her hands, she have her car right now.

"What happened to you and Nicko?" She asked out of nowhere.

"I don't have any problem with Nickanor, it's just the issue so I get rid of him." I answered.

"Do you want to talk with him to fix this issue?" She asked concernly.

"I want but I'm afraid."
