My First Romance 1 (Jacob Sullivan story)

Chapter 9

Monday was a busy day at school because we had an exam. After our exam, it's vacation, which means I'm busy because I'll work part time at the coffee shop. Jacob and I haven't seen each other for 1 week. The next day at dinner, he informed me that he had a business trip to Italy. They have businesses there and in other parts of the country. He gave me a black card and an bank account with a big of money. Hindi ko naman kayang gastusin dahil hindi ko pinagpawisan ang perang yun. I will still work part time for my needs especially in my studies. As for marriage, I don't know if he still has plans for that. Wala p naman siyang sinasabi.

"Baks, nagtxt si Doc treat niya daw tayo. Tara."Yaya ni julia. Sumunod naman ako sa kanya pagod kasi ako galing part time kagabi. Paglabas namin sa gate kita na namin naghihintay si Doc jayden sa labas. Pagkakita sa amin binuksan niya ang sasakyan niya. Mabilis akong sumakay sa backseat, tuwang tuwa naman si bruha dahil sa unahan siya uupo. Dinala kami ni Doc jayden sa mamahaling restaurant. May nakareserve nang pagkain kaya chichibog na lang pala. We had fun eating, talking and laughing, at least my problem was a bit reduced somehow.

Pagkatapos naming kumain, nagyaya naman silang magmall, dahil pinilit pilit ako ni julia napasama narin ako. They entered sa boutique branded clothes dahil bibili daw si doc at julia they left me outside to sit first masakit na kasi paa ko. Habang nakaupo ako palingon lingon ako sa mga boutique, may napansin ako sa jewelry store isang babaeng maganda. If I'm not mistaken, Celine Cuevas ata iyon isang sikat na model dito sa bansa. She was shopping for jewelry, I just don't know what kind because I'm a little far away.. Bigla namang kumabog ang dibdib ko dahil hinila ni Celine ang kasamang lalaki sa store para ipakita ang napiling jewelry. I was surprised because Jacob was with her inside the store. I was stunned. My heart suddenly hurt. I thought he was not in the Philippines yet. I know I have no right to be jealous but why am I hurt?

They're good, they're both rich. After all, si Celine naman talaga ang gusto nang lolo niya para sa kanya, sa lahat nang sinabi nang lolo ni jacob sa akin hindi ko na sinabi sa kanya, for what, I know we're just pretending sa huli magkakalimutan din naman. I just tried to smile. But the truth is that it hurts to see the person you love with the one who suits him. I took my phone in my pocket.. Dinial ko ang number ni jacob. Nakatingin ako sa kanila habang tinatawagan si jacob. Nakatatlong ring naman bago niya sinagot.

"Hi, nakauwi ka na pala?" pinasigla ko ang boses ko para hindi mahalata ang lungkot sa boses ko.

"Yes, kanina lang. How are you? I'll come to your house later, I miss you."halatang nagmamadali.

"N–asaan ka pala ngayon?"kinakabahan kong tanong.

"Nasa office pa ako, may tinatapos lang after this, I will come to see you." tinignan ko siya sa store. Napaluha ako. Bakit ang sakit. Dahil nagsisinungaling siya sa akin. Ok lang yan Nat, sa una palang alam munang hindi totoo ang sa inyo.

"O—k."binaba ko na ang tawag ako umalis na ako.. imemessage ko na lang si julia pagkauwi ko nang bahay.

Paglabas ko nang mall, tumatawag si jacob sa akin. Hindi ko na pinansin. Ngtuloy tuloy ako sa paglalakad at pumara nang taxi. Pagdating ko nang bahay wala si tita. Kya deretcho ako sa kwarto at humiga dumapa ako sinubsub ko ang mukha ko sa unan. My life was going well, until jacob came and disrupted my quiet life. I'm in love with that man, but I know that first he told me not to love him because in the end it will only hurt me big time. Nakatulog ako nang nakadapa. Pag gising ko tinignan ko ang oras sa nakakabit sa wall 8pm na. Nagulat ako ang tagal ko palang nakatulog. Bumangon ako sa kama at deretcho sa banyo. Nagtoothbrush at nahilamos ako, nagpalit nadin ako nang damit pambahay. Nagshort na maiksi ako at tshirt. Tinali ko lang ang aking mahabang buhok. Saka na ako lumabas.

When I came out, tita mia seemed to be talking to someone. "Ohh, gising na pala si nat." Napatingin lang ako kay tita, hindi ko pinansin ang kausap niya. "Sorry, tita napahaba po tulog ko." sabi ko kay tita, hindi ko parin nililingon si jacob. Nakahalata na si tita sa hindi ko pagpansin sa bisita. Tumingin siya kay jacob tapos bumalik nang tingin sa akin.

"Sa kusina lang po ako tita." tumango lang. Pagpasok ko sa kusina naiiyak ako, diko kayang tignan si jacob. Ayoko siyang kausapin, pa-fall tapos di naman ako sasaluhin. Binuksan ko ang ref, napataas ang kilay ko dahil maraming chocolates paborito ko pa ferrero rocher at royce nanggigil tuloy ako sa chocolates. "That's for you." nagulat ako pero diko siya pinansin. Hindi ko yan kakainin! Inirapan ko siya.

I was about to pass him but he grabbed my arm. Napakagat labi ako, hindi naman niya kita dahil nakatalikod ako sa kanya.

"What is happening to you?" naiinis na wika niya. Bigla kung hinila ang braso ko sa pagkakahawak niya. Kita kong nagulat siya sa ginawa ko kaya nagsalubong ang kilay niya.

"Do we have a problem?" kalmado niyang wika. Tinignan ko siya.

"Stay away from me, let's stop pretending in front of your family. Bakit hindi na lang ang celine na iyon ang inalok mo ha? Bagay naman ka—." Bigla niya akong niyakap. Nagulat ako pero hinayaan ko lang siya.

"Sorry, I know you saw us at the jewelry shop because I chased you out of the mall but I didn't catch you. I didn't mean to do that. Grandpa forced me to go with her to buy jewelry. You don't know how much I held back my anger during those times. Because what I want to do at that time is to see you as soon as I arrive here in the Philippines. I lied because I wanted to tell you personally." he said seriously, you could see the tiredness on his face.

I took a deep breath and looked at him, kaya pala tinatawagan ako. I was in tears I suddenly missed him. We stared at each other. His eyes were pleading. I looked down at his lips, suddenly I swallowed hard, I was nervous. I looked back into his eyes, he brought my face to his face, put our noses together and rubbed them together. I closed my eyes.

"Sorry baby did I hurt you?" paos niyang sabi. I felt his thumb on my lips rubbing it. So, I opened my eyes to look him in the eyes. Kita na ang saya sa sa mukha nga ngayon.

"What should I do to get rid of the pain you feel hmm?" nakangisi niyang sabi, inaasar na ako. Napanguso ako na ikinatawa niya. Bahaka ka dyan!

"Ewan ko sayo."Namumula ako sa hiya.

Niyakap niya ako nang mahigpit. "Teka lang di ako makahinga." sabi ko, dahil ang higpit nang pagkakayakap sa akin. Bigla

"Nat, ikaw na bahalang magsara nang pinto papasok na ako sa kwarto." sabi ni tita. "Sige po tita."

Bigla akong sinandal ni jacob sa wall. I was about to speak but he suddenly covered my mouth with his palm. I was suddenly nervous when he put one of his hands inside my t-shirt. My whole body got hot from what he did. My heart was beating so hard, my knees were shaking, everything felt strange to me now. My eyes widened in shock when he massaged my boobs alternately with one hand. His other hand is still covering my mouth. He removed his hand from my mouth. He looked at me smiling as if he was planning something that made me more nervous.
