one night stand

chapter 6

"Anong ginagawa nya dito? Ba't sya nandito? Dito kaya sya nagtatrabaho?" iilang katanungan ang pumasok sa isip ko habang naglalakad papuntang office ng presidente.

"Miss Villaroel, please wait to our president inside his office because he has an important meeting with a client right now". sabi ng babaeng nag-interview sakin.

"Yes, ma'am" tipid kong sagot at pumasok na sa opisina ng presidente.

(CALIXTO POV'S)

"And if we built here, this will be a perfect spot to..hey bro, are you listening?" tanong ni Adrian dahil napansin nyang may malalim akong iniisip.

"Yeah" tipid kong sagot.

"Sino ba ang hinahanap mo kanina, why you act like that?" he confusedly asked.

"Nothing.. let's continue the business" pabalik kong tugon kailangan ko munang magfocus but still hindi pa rin sya mawala sa isip ko.

"Okay" and we continued the business matter. "You know what bro, let's talk about this later. Give yourself a peace of mind to think better" he has a point and so I agree.

"Sorry,bro. I really can't focus right now there's something na hindi maalis-alis sa isip ko" pagpapaliwanag ko sa kanya.

"It's okay, bro I understand. You need to relax sometimes kahit na presidente kana why don't you go in palawan para habang nagrerelax ka dun mababantayan mo pa ang infrastructure na pinapagawa natin" he suggest.

"I'm really okay bro thanks for concern"

"Okay, then. I have to go may gagawin din ako mamaya e" turan nito at tumayo.

"See you, in palawan?" he added but this time we're outside of meeting's room.

"Sure" bilis na sagot ko. And he went out. So I decided to go in my office dahil may mga papers pako that I needed to signed.

"Sir, your new secretary is in the office he's waiting for you" aica said the manager of our company.

"Thanks, Aica"

I saw a girl waiting for me. But nakatalikod sya.

"You must be my--" hindi ko na natapos ang sasabihin ko ng tumingin ito sa landas ko. She's the woman I had one night stand.

"You?" agad na lumabas sa bibig ko. Nagulat din sya.

"A--a-anong gi-na-gawa mo dito?" tanong nito na nauutal pa at bakas pa rin sa kanyang mukha ang pagkagulat.

"Well, obviously you step in my office miss" pagsasabi ko sa kanya na agad nitong nagets ang ibig kong iparating.

"You're the president of this company?"

Tumango ako to symbolize yes. At akmang tatakas na naman ito but this time hindi nako papayag na makatakas pa sya so I held her hand so tight.

"Get off of me" sabi nya at sinusubukang makawala.

"And what are you trying to do, escaping from me again?" medyo napalakas ang boses ko. But she just look at me and speak.

"I ca-can't work with you" she said it directly.

"And, why not?"

"Be-bec--because" nauutal-utal na turan nito.

"Because of what happened between us, is that what you mean"? I go straight to the point and nanlaki mata nya ng marinig ang sinabi ko. Kaya lumapit sya sakin at tinakpan ang bibig ko.

"Can you please, shut up? Baka may makarinig satin" pagpapatahimik nito sakin and may naisip na naman akong kalokohan.

"You really want me to shut up"?

"Yes" pagmamakaawa nito. So hinatak ko sya papalapit sakin and I kissed her. She's trying to escape but she couldn't. At nang makawala sya.

"What do you think you're doing?" agad na tanong nito na halos mapasigaw na.

"I thought you want me to stop, so I did it" I said it nearly into her ears but she step back dahilan para makalayo sya sakin ng konti.

"You're now my secretary. So whatever I say you must follow or else (hinatak ko sya papalapit sakin kaya ngayo'y magkalapit muli ang aming mukha) may mangyayaring masama" I added while holding her waist tightly and kiss her again.
