CHAP 34 TOXIC

Veronica

Gabi na it's already 8:12 pm ng Gabi and I'm still here sa office and I have a body guard here an alien.

"Ma'am, ayaw mo paring?umuwi gabi na." Harrison asked. She's still here kasi ayaw niya pa umalis she wanted to stay with me and she did, my husband could never.

"No, there's still lot of papers that I need to finish." I said while minding my own business.

"Finish ten papers and we will go home." She said, she's acting like she's the boss.

"No, I'm gonna finish all of this." I said and naiirita na sya. " I didn't tell you na you'll stay para bantayan moko and it's your fault why you are waiting right now." I said.

"I didn't regret staying with you, what I mean is you should take a break you know, you should take a rest and I know how much you love your work but at least rest yourself, Veronica. Stop being to workaholic and take care of yourself rightly." Harrison said, it's my first time like in all of my lovers wala pang nakapagsabi nito saakin but Harrison. I can feel that she's genuine for what she said, and I can feel that she's concerned about me and my mental health. She's not my lover but she treats better than my exes did and my husband.

"Still no." Kala mo talaga mafafall ako sa paganyan ganyan mo.

"So stubborn, Veronica. Do you want me to carry you again??" Harrison said.

"Yes, I-I mean no. I don't want to happen it again." I said, shit pang ilang beses na to.

"Who the fuck is that?" Harrison asked when the door is about to be open. "Oh hey there Eric I mean mister Clayton." Harrison said.

"Hello there, Harrison." He said and walk towards me. Why the fuck he's here? I mean why he's here? He said na he can't fetch me.

"Hey there honey, I came to see you and fetch you." He said and he kissed me sa lips.

"Glad you're here. I thought you can't sundo me?" I asked him.

"I also thought but I'm here. We can go home after your work." He said.

"Okay." I said.

"I think I gotta go home, iwanan ko na kayo. Keep safe to the both of you and ingat pauwi and goodnight." Harrison said and umalis na kaagad sya.

"Hon, your mood suddenly change when I arrived, what's wrong?" He asked.

"Nothing, I'm really not in the mood but I'm glad na you're here to fetch me." I said.

"Why is she here?" Eric asked.

"Who?" I asked while still doing my business."

"Harrison." He said.

"Since yesterday, we're working together na. My father wants the both of us to work together." I said.

"Hmmm, kaya pala siguro parang ayaw mo na akong makita. May bago kana palang kasama dito." Eric said, sad boy?

"I don't have any time for us to fight, Eric. I'm too busy and too tired." Pinangunahan ko na siya I know where this thing ends.

"Why? Why are you tired? Nakaupo ka lang palagi sa office tapos you're tired? Baka may ginagawa kayong kababalaghan-" I slapped his so hard kaya napatigil siya sa pagsasalita.

"You think that I'm that kind of woman, Eric????" I asked him, I'm mad right now super.

"Maybe? Knowing you and Harrison was very close before." He said, and I was about to slap his face but he got my hand so hindi ko an tuloy. He's hurting me with his hand, his hand is on my chin. "Dare to cheat on me, Veronica and you won't like what I'm gonna do to that woman." He said.

"You're fucking insecure, Eric! That makes you toxic!" I shouted at him and I suddenly felt his hand on my face. H-He just slapped me?

"I- I am really sorry, Veronica. I didn't mean to do it, nadala lang ako sa emosyon ko. I'm really sorry honey." He said and he's begging.

My tears started to fall out while Eric's hand is holding my hands.

"Get the fuck out, Eric. Get out or else, you'll be dead to my father." I said to him.

"H-Hon, we can still fix this right? Please I'm really sorry. Please?" He's still begging and he kneeled and keep asking for forgiveness.

"GET THE FUCKING OUT ERIC!!!" I shouted at him, and in burning in rage.

"Fine, let's fix this when you get home, honey. Please I'm really sorry." He said.

"Don't make me kill you, Eric." I said to him and he suddenly walks towards the door and leave.

I thought he changed? He promised me. The fuck this man. I really hate it, screw him! My father never lain his hand on me tapos siya ginawa nya? The fuck! If ever my family knows about this thing, Eric will be fucked up. Especially pag si dad and kuya Sean ang makakaalam nito he will be fucked up. I'm not gonna go home, especially sa bahay namin ni Eric. I'll call Harrison and sskanyang condo muna ako matutulog.

"Harrison" I said through the phone while crying.

"Hey are you crying, love? Did that shit hurts you? Where are you? Veronica please tell me where are you??" Harrison is worrying about me? How sweet of her.

"I'm still here in my company, can you fetch me please?" I asked her.

"Sure, I'll be there in a minute. I'll get there as soon as possible baka balikan ka nung gagong yun. I'm still here lang naman sa 7/11 malapit sa company mo kasi duda na ako sa taong yun eh." She said.

"Please come here already." I said, I sounded like a baby but I didn't do it on purpose, okay?

Eric is giving me a lot of trauma again. Why does he keep on hurting me and when I literally does is to love him? Does my love for him isn't enough? I changed myself for him. But what did I get? Lot of trauma? He's hurting me physically and emotionally. Tinutuon ko nalang halos lahat ng oras ko sa trabaho cuz I don't want to be with him because his controlling me and I really don't like it.

"Hey, Veronica. A-Are you okay? What the fuck?? Bat may pasa ka? He punched you or what? Where is he? I'm gonna kill that bastard! I don't care if he's your husband!" Harrison said, I can feel that she's mad at hinihingala pa. Siguro she used the hagdan nalang kaysa sa elevator.

"Please, let's just leave nalang." I said and still crying.

"Okay okay, do you want me to carry you? Or what?" Harrison asked.

"I can walk, let's leave na please." I'm begging her for us to leave but she suddenly carry me, I said I don't want to!

"Hate me for doing this but I think you can't walk straightly." She said while carrying me again like a bridal style.

"Hold on tight kung ayaw mong mafall sakin." Harrison said.

"You think it can help me to stop crying?" I asked her.

"Did I say something like that?" She asked.

"Ibaba moko, Harrison. Nakairita ka." I said and umiyak pako lalo.

"Shhh tahan na, you're such a big baby. A very good timing because I'm using a car not a big bike." She said.

I slapped her so hard like how Eric hit me.

She almost cried. Told yah. I don't know but whenever I'm with her I feel safe. My problem suddenly disappear whenever she's around and I really don't know why.

Is she in love with Harrison? Or not?

Love lots!!!!!
