Zephaniah's POV
Nagising ako at nararamdaman ko parin ang mahigpit na yakap ni Xanthus. Sana ay hindi ito isang panaginip lang. Dahan dahan kong inangat ang kamay ni Xanthus para sagutin ang tawag ng tawag sa phone ko, it must be Jerome.
"Moon, stop moving. Let's stay like this for more minutes" namamaos ang boses n'ya kaya naman dahan dahan akong umayos ng pag kaka higa. Sumulyap ako sa wall clock at nakitang 30 minutes pa before mag 5 kaya hinayaan ko nalang.
"God Dammit! Who's that fucking caller at this hour?!" galit na sabi ni Xanthus habang kakamot kamot ng ulong bumangon at kinuha ang cellphone ko sa gilid.
"Engineer Jerome Velasco?" basa niya sa name ng tumawag.
"This is Engineer Villaflor, and stop calling my wife..... She has a meeting?...... Alright I'll talk to Mr. Salcedo he knows me" yun lang at binaba niya na ang tawag.
"The hell? I have a meeting to Mr. Salcedo in 30 minutes. Why would you do that?" galit na tanong ko sakanya pero hindi ako makabangon dahil wala parin akong damit.
"Sleep here and don't move I know it hurts. I'll be the one talking to him and tell him you're sick" he said ang start walking naked. Kaya binato ko siya ng unan at humalakhak ang gago.
"What? I'm gonna take a bath, Moon" inirapan ko siya at natulog ulit dahil tama siya masakit ang pang ibabang parte ng katawa ko.
Xanthus' POV
I went down to meet the asshole who's calling my wife in the middle of the night just to remind her that she has a meeting. What is he, a sort of secretary? He can't be just a colleague. He's courting my wife.
"Engineer Villaflor!" He knows me? Sabagay hindi na nakakapag taka iyon I am the youngest successful engineer in France, worldwide actually.
"Hindi naman sinabi ni malabs na kaibigan pala niya ang idol ko at ang pinaka bata at pinaka magaling na engineer sa mundo! Akala ko kanina ibang engineer Villaflor ang kausap ko!" tuwang tuwa ang mokong hindi niya alam gusto ko na basagin ang muka niya! Oo, ako pinaka magaling na batang engineer at ako rin pinaka basagulero sa LCA noon.
"What did you just call my wife?" iritang tanong ko dahil hindi naka takas sa pandinig ko ang pag tawag niya ng 'malabs' sa asawa ko, ano yun endearment nila? Ang corny ha?
"Wife? Hindi ka nag bibiro? Kala ko nag bibiro kang asawa mo si architect Stones" I chuckled a bit because of his reaction.
"Do I look like I'm joking? She's now architect Villaflor. Enough of this topic, where's Mr. Salcedo?" I said in a cold tone.
"Sabi niya diyaan sa may coffee shop nalang daw mag anta—" Hindi ko na siya pinatapos dahil ayokong mag antay.
"Tell him that, it's engineer Villaflor. He already knows that I don't wait"
After a meeting with Mr. Salcedo, I went back to the hotel room of Amber only to find out the she's still sleeping without clothes on so I immediately look away.
Zephaniah's POV
I woke when I heard the door opening, realizing it's Xanthus so I pretended that I'm still sleeping because I'm not wearing any clothes but he caught me.
"Wear clothes and stop pretending. I won't look" ginawa niya naman ang sinabi niya at hindi nga siya tumingin hanggang hindi ko pa sinasabing tapos na'ko, pero kita ko ang pag higpit ng hawak niya sa baso at sa pitsel kaya napangisi ako.
