Wickedly Yours

"Ay, ano ba yan bestie? Grabe ang mga tanong dito sa documents na binigay ng boss mo!" Sienna remarked.

"Hindi naman siguro, maybe he's just interested to know about the person he's going to work with, kumbaga para he could improve our working relationship?"

"Eh bakit parang tanong yung explanation mu, it seems like you are convincing yourself and convincing me?" giit ni Sienna.

"Di naman ah, ano ka ba bestie, wala yan."

"Hmmm, describe your childhood, what is your favorite ice cream flavor,if you were to describe your personal life is it black or white? what is your ideal relationship style? How important is intimacy in a relationship? Bakit parang pang slumbook ata itong tinatanong ng boss mu, at may personality test pa na included sa documents! Seryoso ba sya?"

" Sien, parang na ha highblood ka na, daig mu pa ang mga scientists sa curiosity level mu, bigay mu na yung documents sakin, I'm going to answer them na."

Ayoko nang patulan ang pangungulit ni Sienna. I admit parang 50 questions to ask in your first date yung mga tanong sa questionnaire but I guess ganun naman talaga. As long as hindi naman bastos yung dating ng tanong ok lang naman na sagutin after all baka psychological test nga ang ginagawa ng boss ko. I accept na I'm kinda curious bakit ginagawa nya ito. For the nth time already I remembered his intense lingering stare at me. I shuddered bakit ba hindi ko ma get over yung first day ko sa OJT. And it's a hungry stare, a wanting one, like he wanted to taste what is in front of him. Bigla akong nakaramdam ng init, pero hindi naman patay ang AC.*sigh*

"Whatever bestie, bakit ba ang nosy ng boss mo, siguro wala na syang magawa sa buhay nya kaya tsismoso sya,siguro kaya interested sya sa mga intern nya kasi ang pangit-pangit nya. He's ugly right? Oh Sora, bakit wala kang imik Dyan at bakit ka namumula? I'm so right Diba? "Sienna speculated.

Ay ewan ko na lang kung makita mu sya Sienna, tiyak na laglag panty ka within ten seconds. I uttered to myself.

" W-wala Sien, gusto mu ng snacks kukuha ako downstairs? " I asked her, distraction is key, ang kulit kasi ni Sienna. Ayoko talagang pag-usapan namin si Sir Nero. He is kinda mysterious parang may tinatago and kahit na he's the first guy I did find beautiful I'd like to keep things professional. And parang secret crush ko sya ayoko syang eshare kay Sienna kaya divert mission ako ngayon. Hehe. I know mixed feelings ako and it's bothersome since I can't sort that out right now I'd delay tackling it.

"Oh sure, thankie bestie. But before that bestie what's the name of your boss?"

Sigurista talaga si Sienna. Ay ewan.

"ahhhhh!!!!!!ahhh!!!!!!!!"

Si Sienna yun ah, bakit sya tumitili, I was slicing the blueberry cheesecake I bought nung narinig ko syang sumisigaw.

"SOOOOOOORAAAAAAAA! AHHHHHHHHHH!"

ano ba yan bakit nagsisigaw si sienna? My house is located on the edge of the village,at puro vacant lots ang nakapalibot sa house ko kaya parang impossible naman na at times like this at 3pm in the afternoon may akyat-bahay na. Kaya lng I'm bothered sa kakasigaw ni Sienna kaya I ran towards my room, baka napanu na sya,

"Sien, are you alright, bakit ka sumisigaw?"

"Sora," she moaned

"Huh, bakit, ano, ang nangyayari sayo? May masakit ba sayo Sienna? Ok ka lang ba? "

"huhu"

"ano, ano ka ba Sien, sabihin mu na, bat di ka makapagsalita? "

"Uhhhhh..."

She then shown her phone to me...two blue gray eyes stared back at me,dark wavy hair which screams bedhead high cheek bones and pointed nose, beautiful lips curved in a smirk, with stubbly cheeks to complete his sexy smoldering looks.

"ang serep, bestie".Sienna moaned.Naka flash sa screen ng phone ni Sienna ang image ng cover ng GQ Italia at cover model dun si Sir Nero. Napalunok ako. I admit he is too irresistible sa image na yun. I have to call on my diversion tactics. Hehe

"ugh, ku-kukunin ko lang sa baba ang snacks natin"tugon ko kay Sienna

I surreptitiously looked at Sienna, was that drool coming from her mouth,I raised my eyebrows. So graceful and ladylike Sienna.

*******

I shoved a huge chunk of the cheesecake into my mouth so that I can prolong my time, since I've returned to my room bringing our snacks along with me, Sienna kept on bombarding me questions about Nero, I don't know how to answer her questions since a part of me is quite intrigued with him. I don't know but I should have not told her about Nero. :

"oh, Sora bakit wala kang sagot at ang tahimik mu? Teka bakit ka namumula, hala Sora!"

I kept on shoving my food into my mouth until-

*cough**cough*

"here drink this Sora and you'll feel better"

"thank you bestie, sien,for now pwede wag muna nating pagusapan c Sir nero?"

"Hmmm," sienna looked at me for a long time as if assessing my feelings, and she gave me a knowing look, which I couldn't understand why and she said "okay bestie" then her eyes twinkled.

****

"bestie, I'm going to bring my stuff here na, I'll go get it from my car" sienna then went downstairs. Sienna is staying overnight at my place. It's like our ritual since I am often left alone.

So I decided to prepare our dinner.I was busy frying porkchops when Sienna came by my side and said "Bes, kilala mu ba ang owner ng Jeep Wrangler sa labas, black yung color.

"I don't know bestie, baka napadaan lang yan". I continued my cooking session. Ang weird naman bakit kaya nakapark yung Jeep sa labas ng bahay, parang bahay talaga namin ang sinadya. Wala naman akong kilala na may ganung sasakyan. Ay ewan. Why do I make this a big corcern of mine, as long as I am keeping myself safe, I lock the doors and windows I'll be fine.

Nang biglang-*phone ringing"

Sien, paki sagot ng land-line baka supplier yan ni mama.

"Bes, parang wala namang tao sa other line, tumawag pero hindi naman nagsasalita"

"hmmm, blank call? Weird naman, first time yata na nagkaganyan, hayaan mu na Sien, ekain nalang natin yan"

***

Katatapos ko lang mag shower nung nadatnan ko si Sienna na parang naglalaro ng hide and seek sa window ng room ko.

"Sien"

"OMG, ano ka ba bestie wag mu naman akong gulatin parang aatakihin ako sa puso nyan eh"

"Sien ano ba ang ginagawa mu dyan" tanong ko sa kaya.

"Tinitingnan ko lang ang Jeep sa labas nandyan parin kasi eh."

" Late na ah, 10pm na, may hinihintay kaya? Nagtataka na talaga ako.

"Ewan ko, ang spooky nga eh, bakit ba patay ang streetlights dito sa inyo bes." Sienna queried.

"hmm, baka nagka problem lang Sien, usually di naman yan nagmamalfunction.

" sayang, hindi ko makikita ko sino ang driver ng Jeep."

"Bakit Sien, ano naman kung makita mu ang driver?"

" baka gwapo best, rich na gwapo pa"

"ay ewan ko sayo sienna" Si Sienna talaga basta gwapo hindi talaga titigilan.

"Pero in fairness matangkad yung driver sa labas, parang mga 6feet sya siguro."

"Panu mu nalaman,diba walang streetlights?"tanong ko kay Sienna.

" Eh nagyoyosi eh sa labas ng Jeep"

" Wow,resourceful andimaginative" I quipped.

"Come here bestie, at tingnan mu yung figure para makumbinsi ka."

Hay ang kulit talaga ni sienna, I was to come near the window where Sienna is standing when my celphone rang.

"hello?"

*dead silence*

"hello? Who is this please?"

Walang sumasagot parang nakikinig lang sa boses ko. Unknown number at blank call for the second time of the evening. Ang weird.

"Umalis na sya bestie." I was surprised by Sienna's voice, I was caught up in my musing, parang kakaiba ang evening na ito. Hindi ko maipaliwanag. A part of me is scared but I am intrigued and excited as well. Wrong call lang kaya? Twice in a day? A coincidence perhaps? Or done deliberately? A mere stranger, a lonely person or might be someone else?

" Eh bakit ang parang ang tahimik mo dyan Sienna?" Hindi kasi silent type si Sienna, sa lahat ng bagay, tao o circumstances na na meet or na iexperience nya may reaction sya parati. Nakapagtataka lang na ang tahimik nya ngayon.

"Parang familiar yung silhouette ng driver." Sienna mused.

"What do you mean Sienna?" kinabahan ako bigla.

"He did call someone eh, on his phone, he looks kinda familiar eh." mahinang sagot ni Sienna

"Is he our schoolmate, classmate, teacher, mutual acquaintances?I questioned her.

"Hindi ko na maalala, basta ang familiar nya, at.."tugon ni Sienna

"At kahit madilim obvious na gwapo sya."
