BRAD BORROMEO

My not so great father once told me: "You can't mix business and pleasure."

Looking at this amazing woman sleeping beside me is a proof that you can actually make business pleasurable.

AMETHYST DUCHANESS

The CEO of Duchaness Foods.. My business partner and a friend. With benefit kind, you know what i mean.

She opened her eyes and then closed it again, moved an inch closer to me

"Good morning handsome." Nginitian niya ako and gave me a peck on my lips.

"Good afternoon, sexy." Nanlaki ang mga mata niyang kinuha ang phone niya sa ibabaw ng lamesa. She turned it on at hindi nga nagtagal sunod-sunod na yung pagpasok ng mga messages niya. Nagkatinginan lang kami saka tumawa.

"Don't you dare laugh at me you idiot! Kasalanan mo to! Hindi tuloy ako naka attend sa meeting ko." She threw me a pillow. Full of confidence siyang naglakad sa harap ko ng nakahubad.

I really love her confidence. A woman who is so sure about herself.

"Hey! May i remind you that you initiated it last night." Natatawang na lang sabi ko.

"Duh?! Inakit mo kaya ako!" sabi niya habang abala siya sa paghahanap ng mga damit niya.

"Nagpaakit ka naman.. Just admit it, Amethyst. You can't resist my charm." I wiggle my brows.

"In your dreams, loverboy." Inangat niya isa-isa yung mga nagkalat na unan sa sahig. "Where's my effin undies?!"

Pinagmamasdan ko lang siya habang isa-isang sinusuot ang mga damit niya. i stretched my arms under my pillow, dun ko nakapa yung hinahanap niyang undies.

"Looking for this?" I said, waving her pink lace panty in the air.

"Give me that, and don't wave it as if its a white flag. No one is surrendering."

"Honey, you have to come and get it." Pang aakit kong sabi. Baka sakaling makaisa pa, a man can always dream-

Sabay pa kaming natigilan nang biglang tumunog yung phone niya. Inabot niya yun saka bumuntong hininga.

"Asawa mo?" ngumiti siya ng malungkot bago sinagot ang tawag na 'yon.

"Hello?" She started walking away, so that i won't be able to hear them talking. I am her friend butshe doesn't want me to involve myself on her marriage.

Amethyst was a victim of that bullshit arrange marriage. Being an only child and a girl, her parents doesn't have enough trust in her capabilities of handling their company on her own.

Kung kaya ipinagkasundo siya sa anak ng kaibigan ng Daddy niya, hence the arrange marriage. Through Amethyst, i see my mom, she also married my dad, the person she didn't love.

But she do love me. Said I'm the only man in her life.

"I need to go handsome. Ipapadala ko na lang sa opisina mo yung mga documents na kailangan mo." Nagmamadali niyang tinapos ang pagbibihis.

Something happened while they were talking. I can feel it. Biglang nagbago ang aura ni Amethyst. She seems so in a rush to get out. She also looked sad, and scared. I grabbed her arms and made her look at me.

"Amethyst.."

"Please Brad.." She said, I sighed

"Okay.. Pero kapag sinaktan ka ulit niya, tawagan mo lang ako ha."

"Of course.." hinalikan niya ako then she zoomed out of my room.

Ibinaon ko na lang ulit yung mukha ko sa unan. Don't get me wrong, i love my life. Pero minsan, nakakasawa na din yung ganitong klaseng lifestyle. I've been to ever bar. Been f*****g random girls, Sleeping with girls i picked up from bar and then forgetting all about them the next day. I need change. Its time for me to change.
