WHEN WE MET HER

CHAPTER 31

Wala na yatang araw na hindi kami naging magkasama. He's planning to tell my co-workers about it, pero ayoko muna. Ang hirap kasi baka magiba sila ng trato sa'kin or baka iba ang isipin nila. I've been working here for years and I still don't think that's enough for them to trust me, like really trust me

"Beh, balita ko, may hinahatid sundo raw 'yan si sir. Sa condo raw malapit dito" chismis ni Geniva habang nasa kitchen kami

"Tsk, saan mo naman nakalap ang mga balitang 'yan?"

"Sa tabi tabi lang! Sabi nila sexy daw 'e"

Napangiti nalang ako. Alam ko namang maganda ako 'no! Naalala ko tuloy kung paano sila magrreact kapag sinabi namin ni Jake na may relasiyon kami bukod sa pagiging boss ko siya at assistant niya ako

Katulad kaya nila Camille? Sabagay, wala namang pake ang mga 'yon

"How are you?" he asked as soon as I walked in his office, dala ang nakasanayan niyang kape

He closed the windows and door so no one from the outside can see us. He hugged me tight so I placed the coffee sa table niya

"I miss you, babu" he pouted. Shocks, ang cute!

"Hm.. I'm busy kasi last night"

"That's fine, I know you're doing your best naman sa work"

I just nod and told him his schedule for today. Nagaadjust na siya ng schedule ngayon para raw may oras kami para magsama. He loves physical touch so much. Clingy na gusto palaging nakahug, hindi naman ako nagrereklamo

After his last meeting, almost 1PM, we decided to eat together. D'on lang din sa dati naming pinupuntahan before, I told him that I missed that place kaya nandito kami ulit

"Wow, strong niyo po sir" bati n'ong waiter na noon ang shift kaya siya palagi ang nags-serve sa amin

"Gan'on talaga, kapag mahal mo" Jake replied. Nag-kunot noo ako, amp, akala mo naman talagang deretso ang tagalog

We ordered the same food we always get, para mas madali na rin kasi mediyo marami pa kaming gagawin parehas. I took my phone and take a picture of the plants outside and also, him, looking at his phone

"Hey, are you taking a picture ba? Do it again, I learned something new"

"Hm? Okay, okay. One two three!"

Natawa ako ng bigla siyang mag-pose n'ong finger heart. Uso kasi 'yon ngayon, at mukhang late na naman siya. Ang cute, baka kapag flinex ko 'to hindi na masikatan ng araw ang mga kaibigan ko

Ipinost ko ang picture ng labas sa story ko, sa Instagram. I captioned it 'Lunch, baby?'. Nothing, I just want to 'cause why not?

Nang matapos ay bumili lang kami ng ilang gamit na kakailanganin ni Jake sa office niya, at ako rin. We're both wearing face mask kasi maalikabok

"I'll pay," he said, not even looking at me

Sinenyasan ko nalang yung cashier. They know me here kasi and I'm a regular costumer, may discount ako at minsan nga libre nalang binibigay. I don't endorse this ah, I'm the owner

"I'll text you later, I'll make time so we can date" sabi niya habang nasa kotse kami, tumango lang ako

"Why, busy ka later?" he asked again.

"Ha? No, why?"

"I was.. asking for a date"

"Yes, I know"
