Pagkatapos naming kumain sa mamahaling restaurant hinatid na muna namin si julia sa kanilang bahay. Niyaya kami ni jacob kumain tatanggi sana ako pero etong bff kung mala armalite ang bibig ang sumagot. " Ay, gusto ko yan gutom na nga ako e, diba baks sabi mo kanina gutom ka?" inikutan ko siya nang mata. Tumingin ako kay jacob, I was surprised that he was staring at me. My heart is beating fast. How can you not fall in love with this handsome man? the nose is pointed, the eyes are gray and attractive and have thick eyebrows. You will really fall in love with him.
"Hoy! Baks! Nakakatulala ba talaga mainlove sa jowa mo?." pang aasar ni bruha. Bigla akong nahiya patawa tawa din si jacob. Inirapan ko sila.
"Can we talk?" he said with a smile.
"Anong pag uusapan natin?" I was thinking about what we were going to talk about.
"About my offer." titig na titig siya sa akin.
Huminga akong malalim. "Okay, saan po tayo mag uusap? Dito na ba?"
"Are you free now? let's talk in my penthouse if it's ok with you."
Penthouse? Kinabahan ako. "O-oo, p-wede n-aman." I hesitate to answer. He started the car engine. He looked at me and narrowed his eyes. Then he focused on driving.
"Are you afraid of me?" he asked.
Medyo kinakabahan ako sa totoo lang. "Hindi ah!" natawa siya sa sagot ko.
"Don't be afraid I won't eat you." he hissed.
Pagdating namin sa makati kung saan ang penthouse niya ay agad kung binuksan ang pintuan nang sasaktan niya. Bigla siyang tumingin sa akin pero hindi ko siya pinansin. Hinintay ko siyang maunang pumasok sa building, hindi ko naman alam kung saan pupunta. Hinawakan ako sa braso, nagulat ako dahil hindi ko iniexpect ang paghawak niya sa braso ko. But I was more surprised by the electricity I felt when his hand landed on my arm. I bit my lip because my heart was beating so fast. Tumapat kami sa elevator, pagbukas nang elevator hinawakan ako sa baywang ko na nagulat na naman ako. I trembled every time he touched me. Every time he touches my skin has an effect on me, I can't explain. I didn't notice that we were already in front of his penthouse. Pagbukas ni jacob sa pinto ay namangha ako sa kagandahan nang loob nang penthouse niya, sobrang ganda naman nito sa tv ko lang nakikita to eh. Pagtingin ko kay jacob ay nakatingin din siya sa akin. "What would you like to drink?" tanong niya sa akin.
"A-m, just water.Thank you."I'm nervous. He left and went to the kitchen. Pagbalik niya may dala dala siyang tubig para sa akin. Nakaupo ako sa mahabang upuan. He sat in the other chair. Pagtingin ko sa kanya, nakatitig din siya sa akin. My face suddenly got hot.
"What is your decision? my family is eager to see you."he said seriously.
Tinignan ko siya. "I want to know your answer now." dugtong niya. I got nervous.
"I want to know how the marriage is.. Is the wedding real?" tanong ko.
"Yes! but don't worry as long as we are married, what I have is yours too. You will get your half payment right away. Then you will get all the payment when we are done pretending. Is that clear to you?"he spoke calmly. Napanguso ako bigla. Anong akala niya sa akin mukhang pera. Bahala ka diyan.
"I'm waiting for your answer my soon to be wife."My eyes widened at what he said. My cheeks also turned red.
"Do you want me to help you decide?" kumunot ang noo ko hindi ko nagets ang sinabi niya. Tumayo siya at nilapitan ako, he sat next to me. Nagulat ako, he suddenly grabbed my neck. He kissed me hard, I was surprised by what he did. This is my first kiss, so I don't know how to react. Tumigil siya sa paghalik sa labi ko tinitigan niya ako. "Open your mouth baby." namumungay ang kanyang mga mata. Nakatitig lang ako sa kanya. He kissed me again. I was stunned so he suddenly inserted his tongue inside my mouth. Nanginig ako at nawala ako sa sarili ko dahil sa paghalik niya. He teased my tongue so I imitated him.
"Fuck.!" pinahiga niya ako sa sofa his kiss went down my jaw down to my neck. I was surprised when he put his hand on my chest. I was suddenly nervous because I wasn't ready for what could happen to the two of us now. I pushed him hard. I was shocked by what I did. "I'm sorry."paumanhin niya. Tumango lang ako. I'm not mad at what was done, I'm just scared. I need to guard my heart, so that I don't get hurt by this man.
"Did you accepted my offer now?"he pleaded.
Aminado akong gusto kong tanggapin ang offer niya pero natatakot ako. Tumango na lang ako. Ngumiti siya sa akin. Kitang kita sa mata niya ang saya. My heart was also suddenly happy. What will happen to me if I accept his offer? My life will change for sure. What will my life be like with him until we finish pretending to be married? Will be happy or sad? My head is aching thinking about that offer. Tinanggap ko ang offer niya because it's really tempting to me. His offer really helped me a lot. I will not look for a part time job anymore, I will be able to focus on my studies. My only problem now is si tita. How can I explain to her that I'm getting married? I'm at the right age now so maybe tita Mia will agree. He said he would call me when he would introduce me to his family. What a game of that man played and he also used me for his nonsense..
