Bondwoman 2

Chapter 40

KAORI BRIENNE OINUMA

For the past days and months, i tried to forget Pax. I'd go back to the time when i didn't met her yet.

The time where i'll go hike, dive, drive, anything adventurous.

And with all that things, it's Gillian whose stay with me.
Hindi siya katulad ni Pax na pagbabawalan ako sa mga delikadong bagay.

Gillian always support me in everything i do. She trust me that much. And with that? I started to like her.

She's not hard to like. She's charming, smart, pretty, kind and we jive.

We've been together celebrating New year, Christmas outside the country.

"Uy, ang lapit na pala ng valentines." she said while staring to the bouquet of flowers.

Naalala ko, flowers is sign for other that valentines is coming while for me? It's a normal scenario. Well, before.. When i'm still living with Pax 'coz we had a farm.

Speaking of a farm, i haven't visited it for a while. But my maids/gardener taking care of it.

"Yeah? 3 days from now." i said agreeing.

When you said valentines it means the day before Jillian's Birthday.

"Anong plano mo sa valentines? Aayain mo si Pax?" she asked curiously.

"Why would i?" i said with pride

"Kasi araw ng mga puso. Siya ang puso mo. Ayieh!" she tease me. I just rolled my eyes.

"Why are you still pushing me with her?" i asked while staring at her.

"Di ah. Nagsasabi lang ako." i move closer to her. She put her hands in between of us.

"Don't you want to pull me closer to you?" i said seriously.

I saw how she gulf the invisible lump in her throat.

"HAHAHAHA Lakas din talaga minsan ng tama mo nuh?" she said laughing.

I blinked multiple times.
Geez. Why i even said those words?

"Hahaha nakita ko, you almost bite it" i said trying to collect myself.

"Ha? Hindi nuh! Kapal ng muka mo. Paano ko naman kakagatin yun? Mahal na mahal mo ex-wife mo!" my smile suddenly fade.

Ex-wife? Bakit ang sakit? But she's right. We may not officially annulled but we're not living together so it can consider as annuled.

Feb 12.

Tomorrow is Jillian's Birthday and i can't sleep.

11:59pm.
Should i greet her?

I'm already typing my message for her when i deleted it.

Why would i greet her? She's just going to ignore it.

I turned off my phone and force myself to sleep.

When i woke up, i'm like a zombie walking on the way to my office.

I started to do my works. Signed, reviews, coordinates, meetings. It's already 8pm but still, i have a lot of works to do.

I stop for a moment. Looking at my phone. Tapping the ballpen on my table.

"Fuck!" i hissed and stand up.

I get my bag, car key and went straight to my car.

I drive for an hour and arrived at the farm. Sinalubong ako ng mga paru-paru pagpasok ko.
