Chapter 5
I slammed myself on the comfortable bed and let out an exhausting sigh. I am f*****g tired. Halos eroplano lang ang nakita ko ng ilang araw. At mas nakakapagod ang laing away sa lalakeng ‘yon.
This room is hella big. Really… if I have things like this, I would be the most comfortable person in life. That guy is lucky.
Gusto ko na ring mag-ayos muna ng mga gamit pero sobrang pagod talaga ‘ko. Wala akong pahinga kahit noong summer. I had my tae kwon do class and job. At mas lalong hindi na ‘ko makakapagpahinga dahil may alagain akong gano’n ang ugali.
In just seconds of closing my eyes... may kalabog akong narinig mula sa pinto ko. Isa lang naman ang kasama ko at malamang yung demonyong ‘yon ang kumakatok ng malakas.
I get up and harshly opened the door. "Hindi ka ba marunong kumatok o kumausap ng maayos?!" Sigaw ko sa kaharap ko ngayon.
But hell! Halos natigilan ako nang mapansin kong tuwalya lang ang nakabalot sa lower part niya. He obviously just went out of the shower.
"I know my body's perfect but you don't need to stare at it like a kid who saw the most delicious ice cream for the first time." Bored niyang sabi.
I rolled my eyes. "Bakit ba naman kasi wala kang damit?"
He sighed. "First, I used to room around at our house almost-naked. Second, be thankful for seeing this kind of body. It's one of a kind. And third, I'm not a dumb to take a bath with clothes on.”
“Sasagot ka ng maayos o hahambalusin ulit kita?”
He rolled his eyes and shook his head. Bakit ba ang hilig magpaikot ng mata nito? Akala niya ikinagwapo niya ‘yon? Mukha siyang ogre.
“Some goon knocked on the door and I just opened it and asked her in. Seems that you're busy in here."
“You opened the door with that look?” I asked with sarcasm. "Fine! Sino ba ‘yon?"
"I don't know."
What the f**k?
"Hindi mo kilala pero pinapasok mo?! Gago ka ba?"
"The hell! What's the sense? You're an amazon... and I bet you can kill that flirtatious uniformed b***h down there with your kick." Umiiling niyang sabi at umalis na saka dumeretso sa kwarto niya.
Agad ko siyang sinundan at kinalabog yung pinto niya pero pinagsisihan ko agad ‘yon. He opened it with only his boxer brief on.
Bumaba nalang ako nang patakbo. And there I saw a beautiful woman dressed with an office uniform. Siguro... early twenties palang ‘to.
Okay. She might be the secretary Mrs Mendoza was talking about.
Napatayo naman siya nang lumapit ako at ngumit ng matamis. "Ms Suarez?" I nodded so she offered a hand and I gladly shook it with mine.
"Upo ka po." I politely said.
Umupo kaming pareho sa sofa at medyo sumisilip na ‘yong panty ni ate dahil sa iksi ng suot niya.
"I'm Xyrene Marasigan. Mr Ramirez and Mr Mendoza's secretary." She introduced.
Ngumiti naman ako. "Okay."
May kinuha siya sa purse niyang susi and that made me gasped.
"Here's the key of the red Lamborghini outside." She said and handed me the key.
Like heavens better slap me right now. I’ll be driving one hell of a sports car.
"Your ATM card and debit cards." Iniabot din niya sa akin ang tatlong cards. "’Yon lang... and please give this to Mr AC. His cell phone and... my number's here in case you need anything." Iniabot niya sa akin ang box ng iPhone at calling card. "Oh wait... here are your foods." Kinuha niya ang dalawang malalaking paper bags. "As what Mrs Mendoza asked." She smiled.
"Okay. Thank you." I said.
I heard some footsteps from stairs and that made her smile. The demon's approaching. With his shorts and V-neck grey shirt and sneakers.
Agad tumayo si Xyrene at nagpa-cute. Ganito ba talaga ang epekto ng abnormal na ‘yon.
"Hi there sir." Bati niya habang nakangiti ng matamis at habang nakataas ang kilay ko ng husto.
Tumango lang si demonyo at tumungo ng kitchen. Halatang kinilig ang loka loka dito eh hindi na nga halos pinansin.
"Ahm..." I interrupted. "Sumabay kana sa amin sa pagkain."
"Oh... I would love to pero kailangan na ko sa restaurant. Bye." Agad siyang tumakbo sa pinto at umalis na.
Ako na ang nagsara ng pinto kaya natanaw ko ang sports car sa labas. Like hell, I am in love with it already.
"Yeah great. I told mom that I want a black Porsche Boxster."
I glared at the man who just appeared beside me. "Well... don’t worry. Hindi naman ikaw ang gagamit diyan eh." Ngumiti ako ng nakakaloko.
"What?" He snapped.
"Ask your mom yourself." I said at isinaksak sa baga niya yung box ng iPhone. "’Di ba may iPhone ka pa?"
He sighed. "Stupid. Dad cut it out the moment I stepped in this country." And walked away.
Kailan kaya ako sasagutin ng maayos no’n?
Agad niyang dinampot yung paper bags at dinala sa kitchen. Sinundan ko naman siya dahil gutom na rin ako.
He ripped the papers and Shawarma, chicken katsu, sushi and rice appeared. With large bottles of water. Parehong mga laman ng paper bags ‘yon. Kaso nga lang... masyadong marami at malalaki yung mga nasa isang paper bag.
Yung marami at malalaking laman ang mga kinuha ni demonyo at sinimulang lantakan. That answers my thought my question kung bakit sobrang dami no’n. Ang takaw niya!
Hinayaan ko nalang siya at sinimulan na ring kumain. Pero kakaubos ko palang ng shawarma... paubos na niya halos.
Sumandal siya sa upuan niya at sinalubong yung mga titig ko habang umiinom ng tubig.
"Ang takaw mo!" I said. Pero nakatitig lang siya. "Oo nga pala. Bakit mo naman tinawag na flirt yung secretary?"
"Tsk... when she saw me almost naked as I opened the door a while ago she bit her lip seductively. As she was like calling me for a sex."
Agad kong hinablot yung hawak niyang bottle na isusubo sana niya.
"Hey!" He shouted.
Nabululan lang naman ako sa sinabi niya at wala na kong time buksan pa yung bottle ko. "Can you watch your words?!" Pinanlisikan ko siya ng mata.
But he just rolled his eyes. "Just say you really want the taste of my lips." Mahina niyang sabi habang tumatayo. Umalis na siya sa kitchen at dinampot nalang ang ibang pagkain niya.
Mamumulubi ako kung sariling pera ko ang pampakain sa kanya.
"Ang kapal mo!" I shouted at him.
Pota. To the max ang confidence ng lokong ‘yon.
Umiling nalang ako at doon ko lang napansin na halos paubos na niya yung tubig at nawawala yung tubig ko!
God!
Inilibot ko ng tingin ang buong kitchen. Well... kompleto ang mga appliances at kung ano ano pang kagamitan pero groceries ang kulang. Like foods, shampoos, soap at kung ano ano pa.
We really need to go out to buy groceries.
