Zaina
I was eating my lunch peacefully in my office when I received a text from Ethan, saying that I need to go to the brewery as soon as possible.
Kaya naman iniwan ko ang kinakain ko pati na rin ang tatrabahuhin ko dapat ngayong hapon. He never called for me the past month, so, it must be an emergency.
Nakarating ako sa brewery within 20 minutes; the fastest I could drive.
I was greeted by a… butler? Seriously?! How rich are they, anyway?
Napansin ko naman na napakunot ang noo ng butler matapos mapansin na ang gamit kong kotse ay kay Ethan. Hindi ko na ito pinansin at binigay na lamang sa kanya ang susi.
“This way, milady” Natigilan ako sa accent ng butler nila. At first I thought he was hitting on me for calling me ‘milady’ but he certainly is not. He has a different accent. Not American, and defintely not Filipino english accent. Medyo British pero hindi eh. I wonder what.
Nagpatuloy lang siya sa paglalakad papasok sa hacienda nila Ethan. Nasa pinakalikod nito ang farm/vineyard nila, katabi ng brewery. He asked me to go to their private residence, not the factory. I wonder why.
Tinanong ko yung lalake, “Um, do you know why Ethan –” I was cut off when he stopped in front of a spherical building.
“Please just ask the young master. He is inside. I was only ordered to fetch you and bring you to him. I am not allowed to ask or meddle with his personal business that is why I cannot tell you anything, Miss.”
Napanganga ako sa sunod niyang ginawa. He bowed in front of me before leaving.
I barged in.
I stepped inside what seems to be a wine laboratory. Ethan’s back is on me. He is wearing a lab coat. He looks like he is experimenting on wine flavors.
“You never told me you had a winery… and a butler who curtsied in front of me like I’m some queen or something. And did he just call you ‘Young Master’? Ohmygod, are you a prince?”
Natawa siya saka lumingon sa kinatatayuan ko.
He removed his laboratory goggles to take a better look on me. He smirked, “Ang aga mo naman ata? Miss mo ‘ko?”
I raised my middle finger on him and grabbed a seat across from him.
“Binilisan ko kasi akala ko may emergency dito. Nanananghalian ako tapos papupuntahin mo ako dito. Wala naman palang emergency. Wala ka talagang ugali kahit kailan.”
Kinuha ko yung bote ng wine sa mesa at saka naglagay sa wine glass na nasa harap ni Ethan saka ko nilagok yung wine. God, I’m so thirsty.
Paglingon ko kay Ethan, nanlaki ang mata niya. “Ano? Ang bilis ko na naman lumunok?” Umiling siya saka ngumiti. Napansin ko naman na nag-set siya ng timer sa phone niya. Okay, what now? I asked, “Why did you even summon me here? Alam mo bang marami akong tinatrabaho ngayon? Istorbo”
“Correction, I asked you to come here. It’s not a command, it’s a request. You could’ve said no but you didn’t because you miss me” He leaned closer and whispered softly, “Isn’t that right?”
Sinampal ko siya. Hindi porket nandito ako sa hacienda nila ay pwede niya na akong halik halikan noh. “Fuck you, Ethan”
“So, you wanna fuck me, now?” Yes.
“No” I replied.
Shit, muntik na akong mapa-oo! Maybe it’s because of the wine. Teka, ilan ba alcohol content nito?
