Inevitable Love

Chapter 2

"Hey Samaniego, Let's hang out tonight." He sent Eros a message.

" Wait! What?!". Eros replied.

Tssk! He must have thought that I'll never come here. Raegan chuckled.

"Yeah dude, I'm here. Surprised?"

He has that mischievous smile as he sends the message. That dude must be really ecstatic right now. Tssk. Well, who wouldn't? Even himself was surprised , aside from his mom and Raejean there's no other reason for him to be here in the Philippines.But hell yeah, this is the right thing to do for now after that broken engagement. The Ong's must be really furious with what he did. Besides he's not here for vacation. Siya na ang hahawak ng Steele Yatch Club hotel na pag aari din ng mga magulang. Kahit naman nasa Amerika ay siya pa din ang namamahala nito but Raejean is acting on his behalf but now is different he'll be hands on from now on.

"Man, I still can't believe that you're here." si Eros habang sumisimsim ng alak.

" I know". He tsked.

Nandito sila ngayon sa isang high end bar sa SBMA na pag aari nito, after that conversation they had earlier they decided to meet tonight and here they are.

"How's life in States? I heard you're engaged." Tudyo nito.

"Don't bring that up buddy."

seryoso niyang sagot sabay lagok ng alak.

"woaah!, wait. Don't tell me iniwan ka sa ere?"

natatawang sabi ni Eros.

"It's the other way around."

Sa sinabi niya ay naibuga ni Eros and iniinom na alak at naubo sa narinig mula sa kaibigan. He knows Amara Ong matunog ang pangalan ng mga Ong when it comes to business world plus the woman is a real epitome of elegance and beauty. Infact they were once paired up too but not to that extent of getting engage.

"you what?"

hindi makapaniwalang turan ni Eros.

Buntong hininga lamang ang natanggap na sagot mula sa kaibigan.

" you're doomed dude, kilala mo ang mga Ong."

"I know. "halos pabulong niyang sagot.

Pero ano pa nga bang magagawa nya? Nangyari na. Hindi rin naman niya balak bawiin amg pag atras sa kasal pero hindi rin niya maiwasang isipin kung kamusta na ang ama? After the mess he has done——he is so sure he caused him a big trouble.

Babawi siya dito kapag naayos na ang problema, sa ngayon ang hotel muna ang pag tutuunan niya ng pansin at syempre tutuparin niya ang bilin ng ama——to take good care of his mother and his sister.

****************

Nakatulong ang ambiance ng lugar para panandaliang makalimutan ni Raegan ang problema sa mga Ong. A local band was playing good music. He's not into music but he's appreciating the moment——this is what he need right now.

I met you in the dark,

you lit me up

You made me feel as though I was enough

We danced the night away, we drank too much

Out of nowhere the image of that woman poped on his head. D*mn!

And speaking of her ——he's seeing her right now. Wait. What?

Ganoon na ba sya kalasing para mag hallucinate? Nakailan na nga ba sya? He loss count already. Ipinilig niya ang ulo para alisin ito sa isipan.

"Where the hell are you Eros?"

Palinga linga siya para hanapin ang kaibigan. Nagsabi itong may ichecheck lang sandali pero hanggang ngayon di pa ito bumabalik.

Instead of Eros it was the woman who's disturbing his sanity which he found.

He close his eyes and slighty massage his temple. His visions must be f*cking with him right now.

But as soon as he opens his eyes the same woman welcomed his sight.

"She's real. She's really here——so she's a student s***h waitress hmmm.. interesting."

he thought.

Then you smiled over your shoulder

For a minute, I was stone-cold sober

She's on a waitress uniform now, a mini skirt and fitted white blouse; she's wearing a smile on her face but he can tell she don't look comfortable.

Umeekstra si Myra sa bar ngayon dahil ilang araw na lang naman ay sem break na hindi na ganoon ka hectic ang schedule sa school. Hindi niya gusto ang trabaho sa bar——magulo, maingay at amoy alak but She has to——ayaw niyang maging pabigat sa pamilya; besides, konting tiis na lang at gagraduate na siya, sa pasukan ay 4th year college na nga siya, at ngayon pa lang ay excited na siyang mag OJT.

"So she's not a minor. Tsk."

He mentally grinned with the thoughts.

She's heading over his table.

"hmm, excuse me ahm-sir—— Raegan?"

God. Why does his names sound so good on her lips?

He noded like a stupid drunk man.

'You're still sobber for pete sake, why do you need to sound like an idiot. He cursed.

And she speaks again.

"ehm sir pinapasabi po ni sir Eros na tinatawagan nya daw po kayo sa phone nyo pero hindi po kayo sumasagot kaya sa landline ng bar po sya tumawag para i-inform kayo."

I pulled you closer to my chest

And you asked me to stay over

I said, I already told ya

I think that you should get some rest

He has this strong urge to pull her close to him. Damn! Keep your sanity Raegan. She may not be a minor but she's still too young. Kastigo niya sa sarili.

Pilit niyang inalis sa isip kung anumang kamunduhan ang umaalipin sa kanya. Kinuha niya ang cellphone sa bulsa para tignan kung may mensahe ang kaibigan.

And there it is—— he sent him a message telling something came up that he needed to leave the bar immediately.

"Tsk. Must be women" he tsked.

And speaking of women ——this one beside him is one hell of a temptation who's really hard to resist.

Just a taste Raegan. Just a taste.

He decided to kiss her. He stand up and face her. Close his eyes and ——Boom! ——and before he could even touch her lips with his——she puched his nose. F*ck! He cursed before passing out.
