Ms. Writer and the Billionaire Playboy

Chapter 20

Chelsie

“How about you, hija? You haven’t answered my question. May boyfriend ka na ba? You know, my son isn’t too bad, okay? He’s not that bad.”

Chelsie cant help but chuckle sa munting panunukso ng ginang. “Honestly po, boss ko lang talaga si Sir Matt. Tsaka po, parang imposible naman yan.”

“Bakit naman imposible? You’re beautiful hija. At kung ang estado naman ng buhay ang prinorpoblema mo, you know that it doesn’t really matter. I approve anyone with a good heart, and I think you have one.”

“Salamat po,” she smiled. Well, that was truly a compliment. Pero siguro naisip niya, baka dahil sa katandaan at sa pagiging mag-isa sa buhay ay parang desperado na ang ginang na magkaroon ng kabiyak sa buhay ang kahit isa sa mga anak nito.

Siyempre, gusto na nito ang apo. Para kagiliwan nito. Kaya siguro basta nakasaya or babae na makatapak sa bahay nito, itutukso nito sa mga anak nito.

Patuloy na nagkwento ang ginang tungkol sa tatlo nitong mga anak. Kahit ba ay may mga panahon na sumasakit daw ang ulo nito sa mga pinagagawa o ugali ng anak na unique ay mababait naman daw ang tatlo.

“Well the three of them has been so much busy, ito ngang si Matt, masaya ako at nakabisita siya ngayon.”

Napangiti si Chelsie, inabot ang palad ng ginang. “Huwag kayong mag-alala, papaalalahanan ko si Matt na bisitahin kayo paminsan-minsan.”

The old lad teared up a bit. “Matt resembles his dad a lot, you know? And I miss my husband so much. But everything will be fine. I just want to see them in good lives, being taken care of, before ako mawala. You know, life is too short, hija…”

Hindi niya alam kung bakit nate-teary eyed din siya bigla, parang nami-miss na nga nito talaga ang mga anak nito. “Sigurado akong may time pa po, na maging okay ang lahat. Huwag kayong mawalan ng pag-asa.”

From her peripheral view, she can see that Matt was walking towards them, with a faint smile. “I see that you ladies are enjoying,” he aired.

“Indeed hijo,” Hillary beamed. “Magaan kausap itong si Chelsie. I love her, you should visit with her a lot of times.”

And she smiled too. Hindi kinalaunan ay nagpa-serve na ito ng lunch. The table was brimming with meat, fruits and good food in general. It was like a feast.

Before they left, Hillary hugged her tightly.

It was a really good day, at sabi ni Matt, mga after three days ay baka ma-meet rin niya ang mga kapatid nito. Matt asked if her mom said anything peculiar, but she said nothing. Sabi lang niya na parang gusto ng ina nito na bisitahin ito ng mas madalas.

“I will surely do that,” Matt answered.

She felt her heart brim with warmth, just hearing Matt say that feels like he was a really good person.

And she felt herself admiring him more each day. In a good way. She loved this kind of feeling, appreciating someone.

Usually, she’s not used to opening up and trusting someone, so it’s a big deal that she was able to trust someone this time.

They had a light early dinner, with Heidi and her family, it was enjoyable, and within one day, she gathered a lot of information about Matt and how he deals with people.

She had an idea of how to already write the opening pages of the book. How to write the first few paragraphs…she felt giddy and excited.

She rested for a bit in the veranda, tried to snuck in some fresh air. It was worth it, this day, she felt satisfied. She cant find Matt again that evening, maybe he has gone out to his friends…or rested earlier. She also went to her room, she started to stare in her laptop. She want to draft a few pages now, now that she’s feeling ecstatic.

She typed continuously, it was until two hours later that she felt that she had to get up and stretch her body. To relax her eyes again. She was also thirsty, she thought she needed a drink. And when she turned in the clock, lagpas alas dose na pala ng gabi.Gosh, she was so immersed with her writing.

Not wanting to wake up anyone, she slowly opened her room door, glided lightly on her feet. She needed to pass by the living room of course, and it was those moments that she was passing by, that she heard some crunch and noises.

Some sloppy noises it was, and a silhouette.

She was so shocked, that she didn’t notice her water tumbler had already slipped her hands.

It fell, created a loud thud, disturbing those two souls that had labored breathing, between what seemed to be a fiery and passionate tryst, and sweaty maybe.

Those are just silhouettes, she was thankful. But she knew who it was of course, and in the background of an evening with a full moon, she can already intricately picture out, that it was Matt in nude. She tried to shut her eyes, but his half bareness, his chest displayed like that, his abs, and his sweaty arms…all like a greek god or something in that living hall.

She heard a little squirm, and an ‘oh god’, someone arouse from the sofa. Apparently, it was just the beginning of it, as the woman has managed to tidy up her top, so nothing really scandalous when she arouse, but she can also glance her face. And that woman was somewhat familiar. Maybe a model? Chelsie saw her face somewhere…maybe an ad.

And oh, she was so beautiful.

And she felt being an idiot, being there…in that moment.

She was so embarrassed. Gusto niyang kainin na lang siya ng lupa.

“S-sorry! You can continue, er-” she ran towards the kitchen. She still wanted her water of course. Pinulot lang niya ang tumbler niya, at ayun nga napatakbo na siya sa kusina. Her heart was beating so fast. Kinakabahan siya ng sobra.

Will Matt be angry at her? Of course, eto naman ang may may-ari ng bahay. Karapatan ni Matt na gawin ang gusto nito, kahit maglampungan pa ito sa iba’t-ibang parte ng bahay.

Karapatan nito at siya itong intruder na parang nabuhusan ng kung ano sa katawan niya.

She heard footsteps towards the kitchen area at mas lalo siyang kinabahan. Susumbatan ba siya ni Matt? Naku!

And she heard a throaty sound, someone from her hindsight has put his one arm against the wall. It was Matt, in his glorious body, just in shorts and still his bare arms and chest.

“Chesie?” himig nito.

“Y-yes?” napapihit siya. Hindi niya talagang gustong pumihit, pero wala siyang choice kundi tsumansing ng tingin sa pa-abs nitong si Matt.

“I’m really sorry, about that-“

“Naku! Wala iyon, bahay niyo naman ito, kaya’t malaya niyong gawin ng girlfriend mo yung dapat niyong gawin-“

“She’s not my girlfriend,” tikhim nito.

Chelsie’s eyes shoot up, meeting Matt’s apologetic and sincere gaze. Ba’t nag-e-explain itong unggoy na ito? No need na talaga. Parang gusto niya tuloy na matawa sa nangyayari. Parang ito pa yung uncomfortable dahil sa nagawa nito.

“It’s a surprise visit, promise. We had a thing before, but that’s long gone. I was just,” Matt raked his hair, and it was a gorgeous thing to do, made him even manlier, as she saw his abs stretch infront of her eyes.

“Just maybe stressed, you know? So I don’t know, Chelsie I’m really sorry.”

Oh’ ba’t may pa sorry itong si Matt. Gustong tumaas ng kilay niya. “It’s okay, babalik na din ako sa kuwarto.” Tugon niya.

Matt was still looking uncomfortable. “You don’t have to see that, I’m sorry. And it’s good you’re there, Chelsie. I’ll just tell her to go. I promise.” Weh? Hindi niya talaga alam kung anong ire-reak kaya’t napatango na lang siya.
