"God. Stasia, are you with me?!" Inis na tanong ni Hunter sa akin. I looked at him blankly. "Of course I am with you!" I told him.
"Sige nga. Tell me what I just told you?" He commanded. Tumingin lang ako sa kanya saka ako sumandal sa sofa. "Okay. Fine. I am not with you. What are you talking about?"
He sighed, frustratingly rubbing his forehead. "Ano bang kawalangyaan ang ginawa sa'yo ni Cassion at nagkaganyan ka?"
Inirapan ko lang siya at tumingin sa orasan. 11:36. "Sabihin mo na yung sasabihin mo, Hunter. I have a lunch date with Isaac." I said. Saka ko inayos ang gamit ko. May napansin akong papel na nakaipit sa isang folder kaya kinuha ko ito.
Hindi na ako nagulat kung ano o kanino man galing ang sulat na ito. It's from, Six. That bastard who is still unidentified.
Protect your fiance. -Six
I mentally rolled my eyes. So, si Isaac ang target niya ngayon?
I called Isaac and asked him if something weird caught his attention. As I expected, he just laughed and told me that it was me who is weird. As for him, it was really weird that I asked him for a lunch date. Well, I kinda missed him besides iniwan niya ako basta-basta kahapon sa camp site, and that was not right.
Inutusan ko lang siyang sunduin ako bago ko siya tuluyang babaan ng telepono. Tumingin ulit ako kay Kuya Hunter na ngayon ay tinataasan ako ng kilay. Tinaasan ko rin siya ng kilay, "Isaac will be here in twenty minutes. Better, tell me what you want to tell, Alegria." I told him.
"I heard you and your oh-so-precious Cassion, were attacked last night?" He started. My body flinched as soon as I heard my butler's name. Ugh.
"Ooh. This is interesting. It seems that you were slowly falling for him, weren't you?" Hunter teased.
Inirapan ko lang siya, "Oh, shut it, Hunter. Alam mong, wala akong pakealam sa mga pinagsasabi mo."
"And to answer your question, yes, me and my butler were unexpectedly attacked last night." I mumbled. Bago ko isinuot ang coat ko. Nakita kong nakatayo na sa may pintuan si Cassion, waiting for me to come out.
"You see. Popo and I concluded that baka kaalyansa ni Alexander Montefalco ang mga umatake sa inyo pati na ang Six na yan. We all know that he has a grudge on you especially that..."
Tinignan ko siya. He sighed before continuing his sentence, "We all know that he is Olivia's closest cousin. And you..."
I looked at him waiting for his last words. Umiling lang siya. I mentally rolled my eyes.
Baka nga si Montefalco ang may kagagawan nito but oh well, its not like I'll let him win over me. If he knows how to play the game, I know how to play it better.
Iniwan ko na si Hunter sa office ko at naglakad papunta sa elevator. Cassion was always by my side. He's still my butler, anyway.
As soon as the elevator door closed, Cassion immediately cornered me in the wall, using both of his arms. "You invite him for lunch?", he annoyingly asked.
Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay, "What is it to you, my dear?" I sweetly teased, playfully holding his hair.
"Stasia." He warned.
"What?"
"I am a jealous boyfriend." He mumbled, sealing my lips with his soft kiss.
"I know." I babbled before deepening the kiss.
Our sweet little scenario was interrupted by a loud 'ting' sound coming from the elevator. Umayos kami ng tayo. Ilang empleyado ang pumasok ng elevator including this tiny little bitch who is currently clinging herself around Cassion's arm.
"I missed you, hon. It's been how many hours na ba since we last talked?" Hayley flirtyly said. Cassion shrugged before sliding his hand on Hayley's waist. Napairap naman ako. Ang two timer talaga nito.
"How've you been?" He asked.
"I've been thinking about you all day, as usual." She said giggling.
Minsan maiisip ko nalang na may sapak sa utak 'tong si Hayley eh. Sobrang moody kasi. Paiba iba ng mood. Depend sa kausap niya. Sabagay. Professional naman ata siya sa course na Plasticity. Lol
"Great. We've done the same thing!" Cassion said happily as I secretly frowned. Ah ganun? He's been thinking about her when he's with me then? Napakatinong bata. Tss.
"Napakatagal naman ng elevator ride na to. Nakakasuffocate kalandian nitong dalawa." I whispered to myself.
"May sinasabi ka, Ms. Suarez?" Medyo plastik na sabi ni Hayley. I heard Cassion laughed softly as I said what I just whispered earlier, aloud.
Hindi ko na sila pinansin, I felt something vibrated. Kinuha ko ang phone ko at sinagot ang tawag ni Isaac.
"San ka na?" He asked from the other line.
"Pababa na. I'm with Hayley and Cassion. Would you want them to join us for lunch?"
"Double date?"
"Double date." I said grinning.
Tumingin ako kina Cassion at Hayley. They were both looking at me too.
"Would you like to join us for lunch? Isaac and I would be glad to have lunch with the two of you." I asked them.
"Sure!" Hayley answered.
Tumingin naman ako kay Cassion, "You know, I won't take 'no' for an answer."
He looked at me frowning, "Fine. But -"
Hindi ko na siya pinatapos at kinausap ko na ulit si Isaac. "They both agreed, sweetheart. Wait for us there. See you." Masaya kong sabi bago ibaba ang tawag. Sakto namang nakarating na kami sa ground floor.
Agad akong lumabas. Not even giving Cassion a quick glance. I'm kinda annoyed with him kasi. Baka 'di ko mapigilan ang sarili ko't mapatay ko siya. Tss. As if I'll do that.
I immediately saw Isaac waving his hands happily. He is sooo hyper.
Tumakbo ako papalapit sa kanya and I don't know why pero agad ko siyang binigyan ng mabilis na halik sa pisngi. He was surprised as well.
"What? Is it wrong to kiss my fiance's cheeks na?" I asked.
"Sana sa lips nalang para sulit." He kidded. He grabbed my hand then intertwined it with his.
"Sure ba kayong gusto niyo ng double date? Alam niyo na, baka trip niyong magkaroon ng quality time?" Hayley teased. I ignored her nalang. Buti't mabait 'tong si Isaac at pinapansin pa siya. Medyo naiirita kasi ako sa boses ni Hayley, she acts so childish that I want to cut her life in an instant.
I could see Cassion consequently looking at me.
The lunch date was quite fine except for the fact that Cassion is not in the mood to talk to anyone, even with Hayley. I don't know why though.
"Dinner daw tayo tomorrow." Isaac invited, "Mom wants to meet you."
"Sure. Why not?" I answered shrugging.
There's nothing wrong with that naman. He is my fiance after all. But true enough, I won't marry him. I will not marry anyone. That's final.
"Ang tahimik mo ata, Cassion." Hayley asked him. And it was a surprise that Cassion just rolled his eyes. Woah. Nagsungit siya? At kay Hayley pa.
As soon as I got back to my office, Cassion grabbed my hand and looked at me blankly, "What was that about? Double date? Tsaka may pa holding hands while walking pa kayong nalalaman? Ano to PBB teens? Tsaka kiss sa cheeks? Really, Stasia? Sa harap ko pa!" Inis niyang sambit.
I crossed my arms, staring at him with no expression.
"Kamusta naman yung I've been thinking about you all day niyo?" I hissed.
I saw him widely grin, "Don't tell me you are jealous, my queen?"
I grinned while cupping his face using both of my hands then said, "If you are my jealous boyfriend then I am your jealous girlfriend. Got that?"
