Taming the Shopaholic

Chapter One

Trinity Gonzalez's Point of View:

"I like that one... Oh and that too... Oh my God, I love this one and this one also." tuwang tuwa kong pagkakasabi sa sarili ko.

Sobra talaga akong nag-eenjoy habang kinukuha ang mga bag na nakadisplay rito sa Louis Vuitton.

Actually, kilala na ako sa store na ito and hindi sa pagmamayabang ha, VIP ako rito because dad is a billionaire.

Kada natingin ako ng brand new bags, madaming nakasunod sa akin na para bang alalay. I mean, mukha silang alalay pala not actually alalay.

"Hey Trinity, anything else?" The guy asked while smiling at me.

I just rolled my eyes and flipped my hair. Duh, as if we are close ha! Maka 'hey Trinity' siya feeling niya.

Napailing na lamang ako at binaba ko ang shades ko from Loewe.

"Call me ... Ms. Trinity not just Trinity. Trying hard ka ha, close ba tayo?" Diniinan ko ang pagkakasabi ng Miss sa kaniya.

Kinuha ko na ang credit card ko sa loob ng Pochette ko... from Prada.

"I'm sorry miss." he said while looking down.

I was about to give him my card pero there's something na nakakuha ng attention ko.

"Oh My God. No way!!" Hindi ko makapaniwalang sabi.

Na starstruck ako sa limited edition shoes ng LV. Ang sarap niyang pagmasdan. Kinuha ko ito at hinawak-hawakan.

"I've been looking for you everywhere." ani ko at napanguso.

Been looking online kasi and every shop sinasabi sold out na raw ito. That's why I'm so natutuwa because ang lucky ko, sobra!

Dinala ko ito sa counter at akmang iaaabot ang card ko sa panget na lalaking feeling close kanina pero may sinabi muna ako sa kaniya.

"Before you touch my stuff, use alcohol muna, okay? Ang dumi mo pa namang tignan, tho baka madumihan pa ang mga gamit ko 'pag hinawakan mo."

"Yes Ma'am." tanging nasabi nya.

I smiled when I saw him uses sanitizer na. Inabot ko na sa kaniya lahat and after that lumabas na ako ng store kasama ang isa kong losyang na yaya.

Everytime na nagsshopping ako, gusto ko kasama lagi siya not because I can't go out alone ha gusto ko lang kase may tagabitbit because those paper bags na hawak niya are so damn heavy.

Paglabas namin ng store, nakaabang na agad ang aming chauffeur with my limousine. Yes it's mine, diniinan ko na mahal iyon eh hihi.

Bumaba na s’ya ng sasakyan at pinagbuksan ako ng door. Pumasok na ako roon at nag sitting pretty sabay selfie pang update sa ** ko. I have many followers kaya ‘no! That's why I need to be always updated.

"Oh my God, I'm so cute talaga." bulong ko sa sarili ko.

As I was looking at my ten selfies, I can't help but smile. You're so blessed talaga Trinity, so lucky.

Pumili ako ng isa sa sampu. Syempre iyong pinili ko ay ang maganda. I mean, lahat ng selfies maganda but pinili ko ang pinaka maganda.

I captioned it 'Stress less and enjoy the best'.

Oh ‘di ba, panis haha sa cute ko rito sa picture na 'to for sure madaming likes na naman ang makukuha ko.

I mean syempre, ako pa na si Trinity Gonzalez makakakuha ng konti? No the effin way.

Almost an hour passed nang makauwi kami sa aming mansion. As always maid ko ang nag-aakyat ng mga pinamili ko papunta sa room ko habang ako, nagpaiwan sa sofa para maupo and mag relax.

"Where's dad?" I asked one of our katulong in house without looking at her.

Busy kaya ako kakascroll ng news feed ko ‘no, alangan pagaksayahan ko pa sila ng time.

"Nasa trabaho po Ma’am. " she answered. "Kukuha ko lang po kayo ng juice." she added.

I just nodded bilang kasagutan.

"Oh my God, ano ang nangyari sa kanya?" tanong ko sa sarili ko.

Habang tinitignan ko ang picture ng dati kong schoolmate na ngayon at may baby na naisip ko na ang bata niya pa para maging mommy.

Grabe ha, ang pangit ng baby niya mukhang orangutan. She better not have a baby nalang ulit. Nice try Cindy.

Not in a mood para makachismis kase ang kaunti ng likes niya. 13 likes lang? Eww, so nakakaawa.

Napa irap na lamang ako at nagbuntong hininga. Well, this is my life. Walang masyadong ganap at nagiging exciting lang kapag namimili and nakukuha ko lahat ng gusto ko.

Well to be honest, I just turned 16 and currently 4th year highschool na ako. Yes tama kayo ng nabasa, 16 palang ako and still a minor.

Bata pa ako and I'm looking forward na madami pa akong ma eexperience soon. I'm rich, I'm spoiled and I'm proud of that.

I'm in a relationship now with one of the hottest guy in our campus. He's a jock and he's so magaling in playing basketball talaga. Im not kidding ha! I'm just telling the truth lang.

He is Max. We are about to reach our first anniversary on the same day as the school will start. I mean tomorrow tho. You mean bata pa lang pero malandi na? Yup that's me.

"Ma’am, ito na po juice niyo." Yaya.

Pinatong ni yaya ang mango juice sa table na nasa harap ko.

Nagcrossed legs ako and kinuha ang isang cushion at niyapos ito. I'm too busy scrolling through my news feed because there's so many teas ha.

I love chikas pa naman.

Ang daming ka-echosan ng mga tao. It's none of my business naman para manghimasok pero it's social media naman. Makikichismis nalang ako.

There's a thread na naman in twitter about a boy cheating in a relationship. Man, some guys these days are becoming trash ha. If they can't handle a relationship well then why do they need to commit?

I'm so thankful Max isn't one of them. I can't see myself pa naman na gumising isang araw without him. He is my life kaya.

--

"Yes babe, of course! I bought plenty bags and shoes nga eh from Louis Vuitton ulit. Walang kasawaan haha. " I said as he asked me if I had a great day.

"That's nice, but you should know how to manage money po. Everyday isn't the same thats why you need to save rin minsan even though you are using credit card." advice niya sa akin.

I saw him fixing his blanket and started to lay down on his bed.

I just pouted. He smiled at me and said I look so cute when I'm doing that. Ikaw Max ha! Lagi akong ngunguso sige ka, hmp.

"I know I'm cute, Max! Ilang beses mo na kaya sinasabi sa akin 'yan but still, I can't promise you na magtitipid ako because buying everything I want is my happiness kaya."

Napailing na lamang sya at tumawa. "Fine, if that's what you want babe but I just wanted to tell you that money can't buy happiness."

Why is he so matured kasi magisip? He's just 17 kaya and then he's acting like an old man na.

"Tawa ka r'yan ha, awayin kita tomorrow sige ka ‘di tayo sabay maglalunch hmp!" Pabirong banta ko sa kaniya.

"Nah, ikikiss kita sige.” Max said.

"Subukan mo ha! Bawal pa ‘yon, hintayin mo ako maging eighteen and then pwede na tayo magkiss ok?”

Yup even though one year na kami tomorrow ‘di pa kami nagkikiss.

We settled na hanggang hug lang muna bawal pa ang kiss gano’n because we are too young and we should know our limitations. I'm proud of him naman kasi sinusunod niya ang sinabi ko.

He is patient enough tho. My man is such a gem.

Tawanan lang kami nang tawanan at madami na rin kaming napag-usapang dalawa. We really missed each other and I can't wait to see him tomorrow to greet him 'happy anniversary'.

"Babe, I have something for you." he said through video call.

Aww my babe is so sweet talaga hihi.

"What is it po?" I asked.

‘Di ko mapigilan ang kilig ko. He's always full of surprises kahit na ‘di ako nag-eexpect masyado from him kahit alam ko na may ibibigay siya palagi for me.

He signalled 'wait lang'. Umalis siya mula sa pagkakahiga para siguro kunin ang present niya for me. Max naman ih, how come na sobrang swerte ko sayo ha?!

Couple of minutes ang lumipas and he came back na. Pinakita niya sa akin ang isang box from Versace at binuksan ito. Tumambad ang isang necklace na simple lang pero nakakaakit.

"Nagustuhan mo ba babe?" He asked.

Napangiti ako sa kaniya at tumango-tango.

"Hindi lang basta nagustuhan kundi sobrang gustong gusto ko hahaha." I said.

Sa kaniya lang ako sweet at mabait because he's always treating me like a princess. Ramdam ko na sobrang mahal niya ako at gano’n din naman ako sa kaniya.

Sa kaniya ko lang pinapakita ang soft side ko at kung gaano ako kahina. Siya lang kasi ang nakaka appreciate sa akin while others don't that's why they deserve the rude, bad and brat side of me.

"Huy babe! Sabi ko po I love youu haha 'di ka na sumagot d’yan."

"I'm sorry po babe, I love you too!! Can't wait to see you tomorrow." masweet kong pagkakasabi.

Ngumuso ako sa kaniya na para bang humihingi ng kiss.

He just did the same thing and smiled at me sweetly.

"Im going to sleep na babe. Goodnight, see you tomorrow." He said.

"Goodnight." I said in return and turned off my laptop. How tthankfulI am for living as Trinity Gonzalez.
