"Penelope De leon,it's time for you to go to work!" My mother shouted.
She does this every day.
I got up in bed and decided to have a cute day. Yep, you can have a cute day if you choose to.
"G. Morning mamà. Where's Pierre?"
"Pierre! "My mother shouted again.
"Jeez , mom, you don't need to shout, "Pierre said while going downstairs.
"If I don't use my mouth to shout, then I'll have to break both of your doors just to get you two out of bed. "
"That is not necessary,ma." Pierre said, chuckling.
"G . Morning ate. How are you feeling?" He said while kissing me on the cheeks.
Always the sweetest.
"Well, I'm fine now, I guess."
He walked towards mama who was cooking to greet her good morning and kissed her on the cheeks.
" I'm glad you're okay now," Pierre said, while preparing the table.
I stood up to help him.
"Are you sure that you're fine now, ate?"
I looked at them both.
" Yes"
"How come? You two have been together for two years, and you moved on so easily, and have you two said your closure?"
You just do,you move on,and accept the fact that you two are not meant to be together, not because you don't want to,but because he doesn't want to;the last thing I wanna do is push myself towards someone who doesn't want me. Love doesn't work that way,f**k love.
Closure da baba mo.
"I don't need any closure Pierre...it is what it is...you gotta learn to accept the fact that he's an asshole and f*****g move on."
"Language pls,we are at the food table, have some respect."mom said.
"Lo siento,mama."
" So,when are you going back to the field mom?"Pierre asked while sipping an orange juice.
"As soon as possible."
I can't help it but to be sad.
Their base is outside of the country.
So,I'm going to miss her.
"Don't be sad guys...we've already talked about this."
"I'm going to miss you mom."sabi ni Pierre.
He's already 24,but still a mama's boy.
"Pierre,take care of your sister this time...don't let anyone near her...or I'll do it myself.
I know what she'll do and I am not fine.
"Yes,mama."
We bid goodbyes and go on our day.
AT WORK.
"G.morning Ryl."
"Magandang umaga P."(stands for good morning)?
P-stands for Penelope.
Amp.kinareer ang pag tagalog.
"So, did I miss something?" I asked.
"Come here girl, I have chika." She said and pulled me inside the kitchen.
We worked together in a coffee shop. Actually, I don't really need to work because my mom has the money to provide for us, but I don't wanna be a burden to her anymore.
She has savings in her bank.Besides, I'm already 26,and I should have a house of my own right now, but she won't let me.So, I made a deal with her. I'm gonna pay for all the bills and I'm gonna help her pay for Pierre's tuition.
"Someone came here yesterday."
"So?" Of course someone would come here. It's a coffee shop after all.
"Anong so!? He's so gwapo and tall, he smells this foreign aura and he smells so good! "she said as if she's imagining the image of the man she's talking to.
I looked at her with an ew in my face.?(guys sorry I'm a Filipina and English is not my first language so I don't know how to express my words correctly, why am I even explaining myself,but idc judge me all you want,I'm still pretty)
I've had enough from men.
" That's all? Well,I have chicka too."
She looked at me with shocked eyes.
Always the OA.
"Did you two have s*x already!?" She said loudly.
So scandalous.
"Of course not...And can't you f*****g lower your voice?
"Peace" gives me a peace sign.
"Spill the tea bitch."
"We broke up...he cheated on me."
"Oh!thank f*****g god...but wait... He has the guts to cheat having that ugly face,oh the world must be f****d up?"she said couldn't believe that someone like Christian would have me. Of course, I can accept&love him just the way he is,but maybe one day he'll find the right girl for him.
What did she just say?
"He's so ugly, boastful,ggss and most of all, you two don't look good together,you're so pretty,and he's so ugly." Sabi niya na parang nag lilista ng utang.
And before I could say anything,
I felt a presence on my back. .
I turned around only to see no one.
I can't be mistaken.
There was only the two of us, and we didn't hear the door open...But,I'm so sure that someone is here.
"Why?" Rylah asked.
"Nothing,let's go back to work, I'm sure the boss is here."
The moment we got out of the kitchen,
We saw a man sitting, his back facing us...how did he get in?...did he hear us? How embarrassing.
"Excuse me,Sir,how may I help you?" I asked politely.
He stood up and faced us.
There stood a man with hazelnut eyes... a perfect nose and the jawline is soo...Perfect.I think his height is 6'2 tall.
Wearing a plain white v-neck shirt exposing his chest hair and a pair of jeans. I inspect his shoes woah!
He's wearing Balenciaga shoes.
I can't believe how tf god could make such a masterpiece...I felt my mouth open and I couldn't close it, how can you close your mouth when some yummy ? is standing in front of you . This is so wrong,I cannot be attracted to him.
"Good morning,Mr Timothy," Rylah said.
He just nodded his head...How rude.
So,Rylah knew him.
"How can I help you sir?" I asked again.
"May I know how you got in?"
He just looked at me.
"Kung hindi ka lang gwapo baka nabali kona yung buto mo."I mumbled to myself. Pero sigurado akong narinig niya...As if he can understand our language, he looks foreign to me.
And Rylah whispered something in my ear.
"Why tf are you whispering?
The man just looked at us with cold eyes.
Before she could answer, our boss came in.
" Good morning,Mr Jimenez. I'm sorry I'm late sir,it's traffic." Our manager entered the coffee shop.
The man just nodded,and why the hell our boss calls him sir?
"Girls,why are we still close?" Our manager asked us.
" I'm sorry, ma'am", Rylah said, and pulled me away from the danger.
" And,girls,this is Mr.Timothy Jiménez..."
So?
We stopped walking because she didn't yet finish what she said, she likes to hang her words for like a had seconds before she says it. What an illiterate.
What is he gonna do here to apply for a waiter?
"...the owner of the coffee shop."
I almost chocked on my saliva.
I coughed
Wtf?
I'm glad he can't understand tagalog.
I looked up to him. Halatang nag pipigil ng tawa ang gago.
"Are you okay?" My manager asked.
"Yes,ma'am"
I hurriedly got out.
" You i***t! You didn't say that he's the owner of the coffeeshop." I said to Rylah.
" Duh,you think I know it too?
I thought he was just an investor?"
" Pray to god, that he can't understand tagalog or else yung buto mo yung mababali."she said and she started laughing at me.
Amen.
We got in to prepare for the day.
" Rylah, please make a coffee for Mr.Jimenez."
"Yes,maam."
Ediwow.naglalandian amp.
May dipa hawak-hawak pa yung manager ko sa balikat ni sungit. Apakalandi. Si sungit naman patawa tawa pa... Shet ang gwapo.
He felt me looking at them and he instantly brushed my manager's hands off his shoulder. As he should.
I just looked away and, but I can still feel his eyes on me.
*Ting
Right on time, there's a customer
"Good morning Sir, Welcome to The Cafe... What can I get you?"
The Cafe is the name of a coffee shop.hehez
"Well, miss, can I get your name?"
The man asked...he's not the first to ask me that. Almost every day, someone asks me my name.
Can't blame them,I mean look at me. I'm so pretty,but still got cheated on.?
" I'm Penelope Sir...Now,can I get you something?" I asked politely.
" Can I ask for your number?"so flirty.
" I'm sorry sir,but it's working hours, and I don't talk about that stuff at work."
I looked at Rylah asking for help, but she just laughed at me.
How nice.
She served the coffee to Timothy s***h sungit and got inside the kitchen.
"Well,then,I'll just wait for your break then."
"I'm sorry,Sir,but I have a boyfriend." I lied because that's the only way I could get rid of him.
I saw Timothy looking at me with an amazed look...Totally not paying attention to what my manager was saying ....poor lady.
"Awwww,holding his chest acting like he was hurt, from what I said "can you at least tell me when you two will break? ." Abangers.
"Yes,sir,I will" I smiled my fake sweet smile.
Trying to convince him...it worked yay!
I saw how Mr Sungit raised his eyebrows.
" Thank you,come again" I said while handing him his orders.
"I will" the customer said while winking his eyes.
I just smiled at him.
I turned my back to clean the coffee maker.
Next thing,I knew, Sungit was standing right in front of me.
He's fast,real fast
Staring at me with his cold eyes.
