Billionaire Diaries #2: Caleb Acosta

Chapter 24

KAKABALIK LANG ni Kelly mula Milan. She stayed there for three days. Hindi nga rin niya akalaing tatlong araw iyon. She thought the pageant would last for one day. Instead, it's a 2-day competition in a private resort in Milan. Kaya ngayon ay nasa US siya. She just went out of the shower so she can finally rest.

Sa sobrang busy niya, halos wala na siyang alam sa mga pangyayari sa buhay ng pamilya niya. Noong sa Milan lang din niya nalaman na ikakasal na pala ulit ang Kuya niya. She didn't even know that her brother and Eli already fixed things! Imagine her shock when her brother casually told her that she should finish all her schedules so she can attend their wedding? Wala nga siyang narinig na engagement o ano! She can't believe no one told her! Akala daw kasi nila, alam na niya!

"Talaga? Nasa bar sila? Iyong kay Damien?" Sunod-sunod niyang tanong nang sabihin ni Freesia na may night out daw sila Caleb.

"Yup! You know Gray? He's married! Ayun, nakilala nila yung asawa kaya't bigla silang nagcelebrate. "

Tumango siya habang nagsusuklay ng buhok. Freesia on the other hand was eating while they are doing a video call.

"May mga.. babae?" She cleared her throat. Freesia looked at her and smiled.

"Yes, Kelly. It's bar so.. " Sinagot nito na parang obvious naman ang tanong niya. Freesia continued eating and stopped when she suddenly realized something. "Uh, you mean if they're with girls? You know.. flings and all?"

Tumango siya.

"Wala! They have their own VIP room in Damiens. Well, may mga lumalapit sa kanila pero pumasok naman agad sila sa VIP. And it's private! Don't worry. Some of them play around too but they're not that worse. Noon siguro. They just often tease each other about girls to put up with the playboy facade. " Ngumusi ito.

She yawned. "Nasaan ka ba? It looks like you know everything, " aniya nang makitang parang nasa kuwarto lang naman ito.

Freesia pouted. "I'm on my room eating my salad!" Pinakita pa nito ang shi tzu na nakahiga sa kama nito. "I texted Zadrick. He told me that. Isa pa, sumasama ako minsan sa kanila. Lalo na kapag may celebration. Don't you remember? I don't have girl friends before!" Ngumiwi ito.

Humalakhak siya. "Once I go home, you should go out with me! To socialize! I'll introduce you to parties!" Sinabi niya iyon kahit siya rin naman ay walang mas'yadong kaibigan. She giggled because of that.

"I doubt that. Kapag umuwi ka, lagi namang bubuntot sayo si Caleb. I don't want to be a third wheel!"

Medyo maganda tuloy ang mood niya sa gabing iyon. Although, Caleb didn't call her. Iyon nga.. dahil siguro sa sinabi ni Freesia na nasa bar ito. Maybe he's drunk and too tired to call her or something.

And morning came without anything from him. Kaswal lang siyang nakinig sa meeting nang buong umaga. It's for the new venue of the training. Hindi daw puwede iyong dati dahil magiging practice room iyon ng new recruits. Kaya't lilipat sila sa mas malaki na studio na merong connecting gym.

Noong hapon naman ay namili lang siya ng stocks sa unit niya. She's been away for a month so her fridge need some restocking. Cereals nga lang ang kinain niya kanina dahil wala naman siyang fresh food. Kinuha siguro ng utility dahil mabubulok na.

She's busy fixing the stocks of her milk when the bell buzzed. Kumunot ang noo niya at tinapos ang ginagawa bago nagpunas ng kamay. She looked at the surveillance camera and her eyes widen when she saw Caleb! Did he just..

Kelly immediately opened the door. Gulat parin siya. It's not that US is near! Talaga naman! Ang kulit!

"What the hell are you... " Tumikhim siya at pinutol ang sasabihin. Calm down, Kelly. He's tired. Don't shout at him. "Let's go in. I'm glad you came here safe.. " Malambing niyang sinabi.
