Beauty ruled a Beast

Chapter 2

"Where are you?" I asked after calming down a bit.

"Home, why?"

I didn't answered and think for a while. Sebastian is a nice person. I doubt that he will reject me if I ask where he lived. By thinking about that, I suddenly realized something.

"Can I go there?" Tanong niya.

Natahimik ang nasa kabilang linya pero naririnig ko na may ginagawa siya.

"Yeah," sagot niya kalaunan.

I was right. Sebastian just accepted it without hesitation. I suddenly got pissed again. I don't know how many times will I get mad today.

"Did you just let anyone come to your house if they asked to?" I irritatedly asked.

"Yeah, why? I know all of the person who comes to my house. And I know some self-defense. I'm a man. I can protect myself." Mahaba niyang sagot.

Natahimik ako at nag-isip ng malalim. Arguing about it won't do any good. I better not dig deeper or I might fall on it. I don't know him nor the people around him. And it's not my business to meddle into his business. It's better for me to shut up and let it go. The more I got pissed off about everything when it comes to him, the more I'll look like I'm into him.

I don't even like him. Not him. Not a man. And never.

"You do friendly date, yeah?" Wala sa sarili kong tanong.

Bago ko pa mabawi ang tanong ay nakasagot na agad ang nasa kabilang linya.

"My mom prepared it for me," sagot nito.

My eyebrow rose, "let's have a friendly date."

Natahimik si Sebastian pero natawa rin kalaunan.

"Not asking me and deciding on your own again, huh." Natatawa niyang sinabi.

"It's just a friendly date. Nothing more. It won't hurt you to accept it."

And I want to confirm something about what I am feeling. It's better to end this after that friendly date. Then, I'll look for another attorney.

"I don't do dates when I am busy. How about you come to my house? That'll be better. Do you cook?" Tanong ni Sebastian.

"Yeah. Only pasta."

"That's all?" Paniniguro niya.

Nagsalubong ang kilay ko, "yeah, why? I only learned how to make one for me when I want to eat."

Natahimik saglit ang nasa kabila bago bumuntong hininga.

"So, will you visit now?"

I argue with myself if I'll visit today. Some part of me wants to say 'yes' and some don't especially my mind. I need to prepare myself before seeing him again. I might forget what I really wants once I see his face again. I must be attracted to his face. That's all.

I heaved a sighed, "tommorow after work." Then I ended the call.

It's a rude way of ending a call but I did. That's better than bidding goodbye. That word I never say to anyone who calls me not even to my fiancee.

Speaking of, I immediately call Fiona after that. I need to talk to her to settle the things about our wedding. I don't want to make it long. Fiona might hope until god knows how long if I continue this.

"Not now, please. I'm not ready for that talk you wanted," sagot ni Fiona pagtapos kong sabihin na gusto kong mag-usap kami.

She knows. It must be my mother. She's the only one who can say it to Fiona without blinking an eye. Mom will say anything when she's mad.
