My First Romance 1 (Jacob Sullivan story)

Chapter 7

Jacob

Nasa boutique kami dahil kailangan ni natalie nang damit para sa dinner nang pamilya mamaya. I chose the dress for her to wear later. Napanguso na naman siya. I am happy with her every reaction, the widening of her eyes, the frequent pouting of her lips. I am happy with everything and she makes me happy whenever she is by my side. Niyaya ko siyang kumain saglit sa restaurant ni Benedick bago siya iuwi maaga pa naman. While we were looking at the menu, I noticed that she was uncomfortable with the menu. "Is there a problem with the menu?" tanong ko. Napakagat labi naman siya na kinagulat ko. I can't help but to swallow my own saliva of what she did. "I don't know anything on the menu." bulong niya sa tenga ko. My buddy suddenly reacted nong bumulong siya sa akin. I feel like I want to lock her in my penthouse. "I will order for you." napatitig ako sa mukha niya. My heart suddenly pounded habang titig na titig ako sa kanyang mukha. Have I developed with her in such a short time? The only thing I can't do now is to lose her from my sight. And the wedding plan, I want it to be true so that there is no reason for her to leave by my side. Pagkatapos naming kumain hinatid ko na sya deretcho sa bahay nila tapos mamayang six o'clock susunduin ko siya para sa Family dinner.

I was busy with my laptop in the office when suddenly someone knocked on the door. I looked at the door to see who was coming in. Manuel Austin.

"Hey, dude." ngising bati niya sa akin.

"Is the wind blowing hard today and you are here in my company?" natatawang sabi ko. Pero nasa mukha niya ang lungkot at balisa.

"I need your help." napanganga ako sa sinabi niya. I know this man, he doesn't give up easily. But now suddenly need help.

"What's the problem?" seryoso kong tanong.

"It's Andrea. She is missing. I've been looking for her for a week now, but still no information on her whereabouts. I'm going crazy." malungkot nyang wika.

"Who is andrea? Is that your maid?" minsan ko nang nakita yun sa mansyon ni Austin, she's also really beautiful like Natalie. Tumango siya kaya hindi na ako nagtanong pa. I gave the number of my private investigator. This is what love does to men. Women drive them crazy. And I don't want to be like them. Since then I haven't been in a relationship. I never got into a relationship because I didn't want them to control my life especially my heart. Until someone caught my attention. Natalie is indeed really beautiful. The first time I saw her, she immediately caught my attention.

She gets more beautiful when you look at her, so I always eyeing her para akong narerelax sa tuwing tinititigan ko siya. I always want to stare at her. It feels like my day is incomplete when I don't see her for a day. Is love like that? I do not know. I just felt it now so I'm groping. I think I'm going crazy like Austin. Napatawa akong mag isa.

Natalie came to my mind, I was excited to see her later. Pupuntahan ko pala siya sa bahay nila para ibigay yung dress niya. I turned off the laptop and got ready to leave the office. When I stood up, celine suddenly entered my office, my eyebrows raised in annoyance. I couldn't stop myself from being annoyed with this girl. "What are you doing here?" kunot noo kung tanong. She bit his lip then looked at me. I know she attracts me, pero hindi ako natutukso dahil wala akong maramdaman.

"I remembered you so I visited you, didn't you like it...?" nang aakit niyang sabi.

"I don't have time celine I have to go now."cold kung sabi aalis na sana ako pero humarang siya sa dadaanan ko.

"Are you gay?" pang aasar niya sakin dahil hindi ako pumayag sa engagement na plano nila. Nginisihan ko siya at lumapit sa knya.

"I don't need to prove it to you Celine because I know your intentions. Sorry because my friend didn't have a reaction to you. And too bad you won't be able to experience with me how to make you scream my buddy down there." tumalikod na ako wala akong panahon sa kanya. When I left the office, I confronted Karyle about why she let that crazy woman entered my office. "Next time don't let her in my office. Is that clear?"

"Yes sir, pasensya na po." tinalikuran ko na. Sumakay ako sa private elevator. Pagdating ko sa reception area derederetcho akong naglakad sa parking lot. Pinatunog ang car remote key. Pagkasakay ko nang sasakyan, pinaandar ko na iyon. Habang nasa daan ako nangingiti ako dahil makikita ko si natalie. My heart suddenly felt happy.

Pagpark ko sa labas nang bahay nila bumaba ako at sumandal sa sasakyan. I didn't tell Natalie that I was already outside their house. I looked at the woman coming out of the gate with her bestfriend julia. They both laughed. Then suddenly a man blocked their way and they were talking. I was about to get closer when they suddenly walked towards the man's car. I was suddenly annoyed and angry. Saan sila pupunta? Binuksan nang lalaki ang font seat at papasok na sana si natalie. "Natalie!" galit kong tawag. Lumingon siya, nagulat siya nong pagkakita sa akin.

Napatingin naman ang lalaki sa akin na nakakunot ang noo.

"Where are you going?" tanong ko, bigla naman lumabas si julia sa sasakyan at sinagot ako.

"Nandito ka pala jacob, kakain kami sa labas gusto mo bang sumama?" julia said. Tumingin ako kay natalie. Nakatitig din siya sa akin. Biglang nagsalita naman ang lalaking kasama nila.

"Hi, I'm Doc Jayden Gomez the only son of the municipal mayor Gomez." napataas ang kilay ko. Nilahad niya ang kamay sa akin tinanggap ko naman ayokong maging bastos kahit papaano.

"Jacob Sullivan Ceo of DJS Empire." kita kung nagulat siya sa sinabi ko pero agad ding nawala iyon. Tinignan ko si natalie na nakatingin parin sa akin. "And the future husband of Natalie Ellis."dagdag ko, mas lalo siyang nagulat sa sinabi ko.

"You what?"naguluhan siya sa sinabi ko. Pero hindi ko pinansin.

"Natalie, Get in my car." utos ko buti nalang sumunod siya agad sa akin. Nakita kung pumasok si natalie sa sasakyan ko. Kaya sumunod na rin ako. Pagkapasok ko, tinignan ko siya. Hindi siya nakatingin sa akin. Mas lalo naman akong nainis sa kanya.

"What does that mean?" kausap ko sa kanya. Tinignan niya ako. Parang naiinis. Galit ba siya?

"Wala kaming ginagawang masama nagyaya lang naman siyang kumain ahh." pag nguso niya sa akin. Huminga akong malalim. Pinaandar ko ang sasakyan. Pero hindi kami sumusunod sa hambog na yun. Nagtaka si natalie bakit hindi kami sumunod sa kanila.

"Bakit iba ang way mo kina julia?" tanong niya

"Sa penthouse tayo." cold kung sabi, parang may gusto akong gawin sa kanya ngayon. Ewan ko ba gusto ko siyang masolo lang siya,. Kaya gusto ko syang sa penthouse ko muna siya. I stared at her. Mukhang galit pa rin. Every time I'm with her I feel different.
