MADELINE'S POV
I stared at him back. He's serious. Napanguso ako, I don't like it kapag ganun ang tawag niya eh!
Everyone is calling me like that na, and it's so formal! But anyways, kung saan siyang comfortable I'm fine with it.
God! Ganito pala ako magkagusto?! Maybe I look so desperate!
"Wala ka namang girlfriend right, engineer?" I shamelessly asked him. As long as wala siyang girlfriend or ka mutual understanding or nililigawan ay I'll make papansin sa kaniya. I just want to try my luck at him. And if it doesn't work then, okay. It's fine. I'll accept that.
I saw him licked his luscious lips.
"Kapag ba sinabi kong meron, you'll stop your advances at me?" he said, a small but hot smirk plastered on his lips. Napaayos ako ng upo.
"Ofcourse! I'm not going to make advances to a committed man no! Only cheap girls do that!" I told him, seriously. Narinig ko ang mahina niyang pagtawa.
"Do you have a girlfriend?!" nanlalaki ang mga mata kong saad. I thought wala? I asked Angie to do the research about his lovelife, nagtaka pa nga ang secretary ko eh because it's my first time na magsabi nun but she said single daw ito.
Maybe he's in a secret relationship?
Oh my gosh!
Why does my heart hurts?
Just by thinking about him, na may kasamang ibang girl parang kinikirot ang puso ko.
"Wala, wala akong girlfriend." saad niya habang nakatitig sa akin. Maybe he saw my reaction? Nakahinga naman ako ng maluwag at mabilis na ngumiti.
"Wala pa! Because eventually, mapapasagot din kita!" I said confidently. I heard him scoffed kaya napairap ako.
"Hindi magandang pakinggan." natatawa niyang saad. Napakunot ang nuo ko sa sinabi niya.
"Excuse me? Paanong hindi maganda? Lalaki lang ba ang pwedeng manligaw?" nakataas kilay kong tanong sa kaniya.
"Hindi naman sa ganon, siyempre Filipino traditions dapat lalaki ang nanliligaw." malumanay niyang sambit.
"Then, ligawan mo ako!" I demanded, nakakunot pa din ang nuo at nakanguso.
Madali lang naman iyon! Siya ang manligaw sa akin kung ayaw niyang ako ang manligaw sa kaniya! Duhh?
"Bakit kita liligawan eh hindi naman kita gusto?" diretsong saad niya.
Ouch ha!
Natigilan ako at natahimik.
Well, yeah. Totoo naman. Ako dapat ang manligaw because I'm the one who wants a relationship with him.
"Sorry." he said. I smiled at him.
"No, it's fine! You're right naman!" mabilis kong tugon. I know how to do the courting naman. May idea kaya ako! Sa mga nababasa kong novels and I did some research na din.
After that, naging tahimik kaming dalawa. Dumating na din naman ang order namin kaya we started eating ng tahimik. I don't know what to say! I am thinking of any topic na pwedeng interested siya but wala akong maisip.
My goodness!
I don't want to talk about business din naman. Hayss!
"Bakit gusto mo akong maging boyfriend?" nabigla ako ng magsalita siya. Kalmado siyang napasubo sa kinakain habang ako ay kabado. I don't know but my heart beats so erratically! Tumingin ako sa kaniya and I tried to calm myself down.
"Well, I—"
"I want an honest answer miss CEO. What's your reason? At bakit ako? You could've just choose one of your suitor, hindi kana mahihirapan." he said seriously, nakakunot ang nuo niya habang nakatitig sa akin.
Oh damn that stares. I want that!
I never like attention from anyone. That's the main reason why I always turn down the modelling agencies who wants to recruit me. But with this man, gustong gusto ko ang atensiyon niya. Gusto ko sa akin lang.
Should I tell him?
Well, I honestly like him naman! But there's still another reason. Huminga ako ng malalim at inilapag ang kubyertos. I drink the wine first and wipe the side of my mouth. He's waiting for me patiently and that makes me smile.
"I need to have a boyfriend before I turn 30 years old, or else my family will marry me off to someone I... I don't like to be with." I honestly told him. Yes, that's it.
"When I turned 18 years old, my grandfather make an agreement with his best friend. They wanted to merge their companies but they need a strong foundation. Kaya naisipan nilang ipakasal ako sa isa sa apo ng family na iyon. My mother disagree to that kaya nirevise nila ang agreement. And yeah, kapag wala pa akong boyfriend with the age of 30, I'll be marrying a man na hindi ko gusto." sambit ko at napatulala.
I laughed with no humor.
"Ridiculous isn't it?" I asked him. Tahimik lang siyang nakatingin sa akin.
"And guess what's more crazy. Ginawang collateral ng lolo ko ang company niya kapag binali namin ang napagkasunduan. With legal documents pa ah!" I said, irritation can be heard in my voice.
"That's.... That's not fair.." bulalas niya.
Yeah, it's not.
I rebelled ng malaman ko iyon. Nagalit ako sa lolo ko nun, and ng nalaman kong alam ni mommy at pumayag siya, I felt betrayed.
But my grandmother asked me a favor before she died, at iyon ang tanggapin iyon and to forgive my grandfather for his actions.
Nginitian ko lang siya.
"I don't like any of my suitors. I can see through them, they just wanted me because I am a Guerrero. Because of the things I achieved. But I do like you Primo. You're like a puzzle to me, I can't figure you out.You look so innocent and well, hot. And I think we're perfect for each other! So, I have a mission to make you fall in love with me."
I said and smile sweetly.
"And oh! You're making my heart beats so fast too!" I said and laughed. Nakaawang ang labi niya habang nakatingin sa akin.
He looked shocked?
"Your life, sucks miss CEO." saad niya. Imbes na maoffend ay natawa na lang ako.
My life really sucks.
Mas naging magaan ang atmosphere sa paligid namin hanggang sa paglabas namin ng restaurant.
"Iyong totoo? Ikaw ba talaga ang manliligaw o ako?!" nakasimangot niyang saad habang nagsimulang magmaneho.
Ihahatid niya ako sa condo ko since hindi ko dala ang sasakyan ko pagpunta namin dito.
Napahalakhak ako.
"Ako nga!" I said habag natatawa.
"Eh bakit ako ang naghahatid sayo?" kunot ang nuo nitong reklamo.
"You're so reklamador." I stated while smiling.
Ang cute!
"You're so demanding!" Nanlaki ang mata ko when he talked back.
"Well, I'm your boss!" I said in a matter of fact voice.
"Well, you're courting me!" tugon naman niya.
"And so?!" nakataas ang kilay kung sambit.
"Joke lang eto naman nagsusungit agad. "
napangiti ako sa sinabi niya at tumahimik na lang. I smiled when I looked back sa nangyari sa araw ko ngayon. Specially ngayong gabi. He's so comfortable to be with. Nilingon ko siya and I saw him driving seriously. He looked so handsome with his right hand on the steering wheel habang ang isa ay nakapatong sa bintana.
I bit my lower lip when I remember my wet dream about him last night. And then suddenly, I feel so hot all over my body.
Oh my god!
I even feel a tingling sensation to my sensitive part down there kaha pasimple ko iyong ikinipot at huminga ng malalim.
Ng makarating sa Guerrero's tower, I never thought na sasama pa siya sa akin sa taas.
He's so thoughtful!
" Nahh, baka mamaya may biglang kumidnap sayo habang papunta sa taas tapos ako pa mapagkamalan dahil ako ang huli mong kasama eh."
sambit niya at naunang maglakad papunta sa elevator. I chuckled because of that.
Damn this man!
"Uhm thank you! For uh today." natawa ako sa sarili ko.
I am breathing heavily dahil nag iinit ang katawan ko. I badly need to get inside para mailabas ang init na to. f**k!
"Are you okay?" nag aalalang tanong niya at lumapit pa sa akin. Napapikit ako ng maamoy ang panlalaki niyang pabango.
Oh my god!
I felt my bud clenched.
Shit!
I cleared my throat. "Yes uhm I'm fine. Thank you din sa paghatid! Babawi ako sayo, promise." I said at ngumiti pa. Napalunok ako ng makitang titig na titig siya sa akin.
"No, you're not fine. Tell me what's wrong?" kunot ang nuo nitong tanong sa akin.
Fuck it!
Kapag ako, hindi nakapagpigil..... damn it!
"Bakit hindi ka makatingin sakin?" he said and touch my chin. Marahas kong pinakawalan ang hininga at tinitigan siya.
Napaawang ang labi niya ng makita ang ekspresiyon sa aking mata. I saw how his adams apple moves. Up and down and then again. Ng mapatingin ako sa mga mapupula niyang labi, my mind went blank.
All I know is, I want that lips against mine!
Kaya naman, mabilis akong tumingkayad ang claimed his soft lips.
