Manhattan St. New York

As I goes out on my penthouse on Manhattan to meet the other chaebols' as we call our self.

It is our group's name, it is a korean term for prestigious and rich people on society who owns big businesses and large sum of assets in the country. To make it simple.. It literally means "a heir of a rich company."

I don't know how that guy made us all to be together. He is a monster. We are the best businessman representative of the Philippines. The richest among the country.

As of now, there are 12 members plus me to be thirteen. We are all boys, woman is not allowed.

Actually Lee suggest it, siya talaga ang nag pangalan. Hindi naman dahil lang sa mayayaman kami at magkakasosyo sa ilang mga negosyo kaya kami magkakasama. I think magkakaibigan din naman kami kahit papaano.

Well, I think so. Kung iyon man ang matatawag sa amin.

Well, it is baduy sabi nga ni Vash but Lee suggested it because we really are a chaebol naman and there are some of us who have korean blood in our veins so we just agree to it.

Kahit na may pagka baduy man ay napagkatuwaan na din namin na sumang ayon. It was not an official NGO, it's just what we called to our group.

It's been almost a decade or so mula ng magka kilala kami ng mga kaibigan ko hanggang sa dumami na kami. We all kinda like it.

Sometimes we clash dahil sa different personalities namin.

But, in the end of the day makikita na lang namin ang aming mga sarili na tumatawa sa ka kornihan ng isa at pagkatapos no'n ay parang wala lang nangyari.

And when I was going to ride on my ducatti I heard a girl screaming and asking for help.

Well, kahit na ako'y isang playboy, matulungin pa rin' naman ako sa mga kababaihan na ng hihingi ng tulong. And I follow the woman's voice until I came to where the voice owner is.

And my eyeballs almost drop on the floor when I saw a slender girl wearing a black sweater, black leather jacket, black skiny cotton pants and a high cut leather boots.

She is I think 5"7 atleast on height her long curly black hair was tied and she's wearing a dark sun glasses. Even she's wearing a jacket I can still see all the curve of her body. She looks like the girls on those american movies I've watched, she's so hot and beautiful to summarized.

But that's not the point the beautiful girl is holding a gun with her right arm pointing on the blonde girl's head.

I was so surprised for the 1st time in my life and I really don't know what to say. She's too beautiful to be a holdapper, "Tsk! Tsk! Type ko pa naman. Kaya lang masamang tao pala." panghihinayang ko sa sarili.

"Oh Mr. Please help me, she's going to kill me." The blonde girl is begging for me to help her.

" Miss with the gun can we just talk this out. Please release the girl and I promised I will give you whatever you need." I said politely, kung bakit ba naman kasi na punta siya sa ganoon na sitwasyon eh.

The girl just shrugged her shoulders as if not hearing anything I said. And when I open my mouth she cuts me off.

"Puwede ba M-- I mean will you just mind your own business?" The girl hissed at me being irritated.

And before I can say "na Filipina rin' pala ang babaeng may hawak na baril na ito" I was already hostage by the blonde girl whom I was helping a few minutes ago. Pointing the knife on my neck.

"Put the fucking gun down! Or else I'll kill him" The blonde commanded on my fellow Filipina.

She just shrugged her shoulder and throw her gun lazily on the floor. And she seems bored on what's happening and surprisingly not scared even a little bit.

"Give me your wallet, watch and everything. Now!!!" The blonde girl commanded me. And I just not move, it is not that I was scared, I just find the situation funny.

"What the hell are you smiling?" The girl hissed at me, now she pointed the knife on my neck and I can feel my neck hurting a little bit. Well, now it's interesting the girl is really serious. And one wrong move I'll be dead.

"Sinabi ko naman sayo' na huwag ka ng maki elam eh, ayan tuloy ililigtas pa kita. Kalaki mong' tao lampa ka pa ata'." The gorgeous girl said to me irritatedly. Pinukol ko lang siya ng isang masamang tingin.

Now Ms. Gorgeous is slowly walking to our direction, she takes off her sunglasses and put it on her jacket. She stretches her arm.

"Now Mr. Just relax!" After she said those words she kicked the blonde girls hands pointing on left side and the knife gets down and she push me through the other side na para ba akong nakaka abala sa kanya.

As I watch her fighting, the time stopped and I hear the birds chirping and the words "Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah." Now it is as if the two of us are the only people in the world.

And my day dreaming stop when I already realized that she already finish the battle against the poor blonde. And she turns herself to me and holding the blonde's hair.

"What do you want me to do to her?" The girl ask me. I just blinked at her 2 times. And I realized that I'm day dreaming.

"Let's just let go her go." Kinuha ko ang aking wallet at naglabas ng $100 at inabot ko sa blonde and she accepted it.

"What the hell are you doing?" The girl angrily asked me.

"Well, likas sa ating mga Filipino ang pagiging maawain kaya, pakawalan mo na siya. Maybe she really needs money." I said casually. The girl confusedly nodded at me and follow my decision.

At bago kumaripas ng takbo ang babeng blonde lumapit ito sa akin, she whisper at me saying "Thank you, Mr. hottie" and she winked at me.

Hindi naman iyon nakalampas kay Ms. Gun at napansin ko ang pagka irita niya sa akin. Tumayo ito ng diretso at lumapit sa akin.

"So Filipino ka rin' pala Mr. Maawain. As I analyzed it, you may be are gentleman. But I'm sure that your a playboy too." The girl mocking at me.

She is now staring me with her brown eyes waiting for my answer.

"Well thank you for the compliment Ms.?" I said to her.

"Heather James Dobrev. Mr.?" Malamig na ganti naman na tanong nito.

"I am Tennessee Johnson, what is your name among those three?" i joked at her.

"Well, what a great sense of humor Mr. Johnson." She said smiling and mocking at me.

Now I gasped, it is the first time I saw a girl smile at me beautifully.

And For Pete's sake she has two dimples that makes her more lovely. Kalma lang, kalma lang Ten. Woah.

"Now, I shall go Mr. Johnson. Marami pa akong appointment. Goodbye, and by the way can you please close your mouth." she said to me shyly.

At doon na ako na gising, naka nganga na pala ako hindi ko pa alam. At nung tumalikod siya ay hinila ko ang kanyang kamay.

And when our flesh touched I felt electricity coming to me. I think she felt that too kasi halata na nagulat din' siya at binawi niya ang kanyang kamay.

"Now, what is it Mr. Johnson?" she ask me impatiently crossing her hands on her chest.

"You left your gun." I reply at her calmly at inabot ko sa kanya ang kanyang baril.

"Oh! Thanks! He-he." She said shyly. I just looked at her for every single move she makes.

"What? Ah this is a real gun Mr. I am a military personnel a

Lieutenant to be exact, so don't you worry my license to'." She explained to me.

"Ah! A lieutenant, what a nice job for a beautiful girl like you." I said flirting at her.

"I am here to do my job, I work as a bodyguard now for elite people and today is my first day of work. Actually, gustong gusto ko na nga itong iputok eh." She just dismissed me while I flirt at her. And now this weirdo is pointing the gun on my head.

"BANG! " She said I just widened my eyes and no words came out to my mouth because of the shock.

Is everything a joked to this girl? Is she insane? Why the hell are she joking with a gun as her props.

" I missed action so much. " she added.

"A little advice Mr. Johnson, huwag ka masyado nagti- tiwala sa mga babae dahil maaring kadalasan nga, girls bring pleasure and satisfied you in your lust." She paused.

"Kaya lang di naman masama na mag ingat pa minsan minsan kahit sabihin natin na gentleman ka. Always be attentive Mr. kung ayaw mo pang mawala ka sa mundong ito ng hindi manlang nagkaka anak. Dahil di' mo alam ang tumatakbo sa isip ng mga masasamang tao, kay'?" She added.

Now she's advicing me. And then she turned away and I grabbed her hand again.

"Wh--" before she finished what she wants to say, my lips are already on hers kissing her lightly.

Nag pu-pumilit siyang kumawala pero indi ko siya binibitawan.

And the kiss cutted because she punch me on my stomach and the moment I realized I am already on the floor hawak hawak ko ang aking sikmura.

"Subukan mo na ulitin ang ginawa mo, tignan lang natin kung maka uwi ka pa ng buhay sa Pilipinas." She warned me gritting her teeth.

"Well, ipag palagay natin na quits na tayo dahil tinutukan mo ako ng baril. That's a crime even it's just a joked." I replied at her. Then she walks towards me at akmang susuntukin niya ko balaan ko siya.

"Mukhang nabitin ka pa sa halik ko, Do you want a second round." I said smiling at her.

Then she just widened her eyes and run away from me saying "Pervert!" I just laugh out loud.

And that's how I met the crazy girl. That will eventually change my life.
