"WTH are you talking about Gideon?!? Ako?!? In love with my secretary?!?!"
Biglang tumawa ng pagkalakas-lakas si Gideon.
If it were possible, he would have rolled on the floor laughing.
Malapit ko na talagang masapak 'to!
He tried his best to stop himself.
Pilit na pinigilan ni Gideon ang sarili sa pagtawa.
Umiling-iling sya.
"Woohhh! Malala ka na bro! HD lang ang sinabi ko! Wala akong sinabi na in love sa kanya!"
F*ck!
"But now that I think about it hindi na nga siguro basta lang HD yan kasi 3 yrs na."
He mentally face palmed.
Am I that transparent?
Pero bakit si Mary Anne hindi nya nararamdaman?
I tried to put on my poker face.
"I don't know what you're talking about Gideon...now please leave my office. I have a lot of things to do!" I say in a firm voice.
Tumayo na nga si Gideon.
Palabas na sya ng pintuan ng lumingon sya sa akin.
"So you won't mind if I date her?" he looks serious while saying it.
OH HELL NO!!!
Snap!
Nabali ko yung lapis na hawak ko.
Ngumisi sya.
"I got the answer I'm looking for!"
Sabay nagmamadali syang lumabas ng opisina ko.
Napasandal ako sa upuan.
I try to calm myself.
I reach for my phone and browse through my gallery.
I immediately smile upon seeing her.
I took a picture of her kanina.
She looked like a baby while sleeping.
My baby...
Flashback
I'm getting bored kanina pa sa mga kasama ko.
Then I saw her...
She made her way to the bar.
She was wearing a short fitted backless LBD.
Her hair on one side in loose curls.
Her luscious lips painted in red.
WTH is she doing here?
She immediately ordered two shots of tequila.
Hindi ko na maialis yung tingin ko sa kanya.
Did she just look at me?
But then she looked away.
Maybe she thinks I didn't recognize her.
Or maybe she didn't see me.
Napasimangot ako.
She continued drinking and I continued looking at her.
A guy started talking to her.
Hindi na ako nakatiis.
Tumayo na ako para lapitan sya.
I couldn't get to her fast enough.
Saktong may makulit na lumapit sa kanya.
He even held her wrist.
"Get your filthy hands off my woman!" I ground out.
Pigil na pigil ko ang sarili kong sapakin sya.
Hinawi ko yung kamay nya and gave him a death glare.
Muntik pa syang matumba.
I don't give a f*ck!
He can kiss the floor all he wants.
