When A Playboy Fall inlove [COMPLETE]

Chapter 24

Shanea's Pov:

This is it Shanea! You need to face it. Prove to him that you're not affected by his presence. Prove to him that you'll just see him because of business. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Huminga ako ng malalim bago pumaosk sa loob at labas lang pinaghihintay ang secretary ko. May upuan naman dun kaya ayos lang. Pagpasok ko sa loob nakita ko na siya na naka-upo sa isang bakanteng upuan. Nang nakita niya ako ay tumayo siya. Kaya mo naman talaga kina-cool niya yun

Kahit nahuhurumentado na ako sa loob-loob ko. Hindi ko panahalata yun. I would never give him the satisfaction that after all those years he's still has a effect on me. Tuwid akong tumayo at binigyan ko lang siya ng serious face.

"Hi" bati niya sakin.

"Hi" Igreeted back.

"Please, sit down" sabi ko. Dahil dito naman kami pinag meeting ni Mommy so I have right to say that. Alangan naman tatayo lang siya? Hindi naman ako ganun ka rude kaya okay lang.

Hindi parin tumigil ang lakas ng tibok ng dibdib ko. The way he looks at me, it's sent shiver down to my spine. I never look at him before like this. Ngayon ko pa lang natanto na nakakanginig nga pala ng tuhod kapag masyado mo siyang tinitigan sa mata. With his brown eyes, we stare at each other no ones gonna cut the stare we had. Until, I realized we're here for a meeting not to think how handsome he is. How intimedating he's eyes, how he makes me tremble my knees. How he makes me beat my heart faster like you're running a hundred kilometers.

I look away, parang hindi tama. No one cutting the gaze, so ako nalang yung pumutol. Gusto ko na matapos para wala na akong pro-problemahin.

"S-So, what's the news f-for the construction?" Ayan! Nauutal-utal na naman ako. Sino ba naman ang hindi? Wala siyang ibang ginagawa kundi titigan ako. Ano? Magtitigan nalang kami dito magdamag?

"What?" I said. He's not talking what's the cause of having a meeting if he's not talking? He's just wasting my time. Sa sinabi ko ay mukhang natauhan na siya. Seriously? As long as hindi ako nagsasalita, I would avoid he's gaze ayokong tagalan ang titig niya. He really a man now, with his define biceps, perfect jaw line, with his brown eyes, thick eyebrow, perfect nose, to his light messy hair, and down to his kissable lips. How many girls that he kiss already? How many girls that he already making out? How many girls did he bring to his condo? My god Shanea! Embrace yourself.

You're in the middle of your fucking meeting with this engineer infront of you. You're thinking too much about him, think only Keir because he's your boyfriend. Don't think about your ex that cheated on you, he don't deserve the space in your mind to think of him.

"As what your Mom said, we're already starting the construction of your hotel. I just want to ask if it's okay, kung malalagay kami ng swimming pool sa rooftop" with his cold baritone voice, Feeling ko nagsitayuan yung balahibo ko sa boses niya.

"Yeah, sure. Uhm..what else would you put in the rooftop? Aside from the swimming pool?" Casual na tanong ko. Kasi ganun naman dapat, hindi na pwede mag-isip ng iba. Seryoso lang naman siyang tumingin sakin. Seryoso ko rin siyang tinignan. I remain serious face in me.

"Do you have any suggestion?" Nabigla ako sa tanong niya pero di ko pinahalata. I thought sila na ang bahala sa ilalagay sa taas. I know mom has a big trust to their group.

"I want to put a mini bar, so some people won't need to go downstairs just to get drink. And of course, I want you put a sun bathing chair on the side of the pool" sabi ko.

Bahagya naman siyang tumango "okay, copy. Anthing else?" Sabi niya. Umiling naman ako.

"Is that all?" Tanong ko. Tumango naman siya habang may tinatype sa dala niyang laptop. Akma akong tatayo ng magsalita siya.

"Shanea? Can we talk?" Seryosong sabi niya. Ayan na naman tong puso ko para na namang may nakakarera sa loob. Bakit, pag siya na yung pinag-usapan parang nanlalambot agad ako? This is not healthy anymore. I don't like it.

"We're already talking Mr. Lopez" seryoso kung sabi.

"I want to talk about us Shanea" sabi niya. I saw how hopeful his eyes is. I saw pain in his eyes I don't like it. Why did his eyes saying that he's also in pain? He's the reason kung bakit kami nagkaganito. He's the reason why I need to go to Canada just don't see him. He's the reason why I'm hurting. And then, I saw his pain? That's unfair! He did this mistake. He cheated on me!

Even though before that I have a doubt of him being his girlfriend but I still take the risk. Kasi akala ko mababago ko siya. Kasi akala ko ako na yung taong makakapag-pabago sa isang playboy/womanizer na katulad niya. Pero hindi parin pala, akala ko lang pala yun.

"What about us?" Seryoso kong tanong.

"I'm sorry Shanea. I'm sorry for being jerk to you before, I'm sorry if you saw us kissing but.... I didn't insist the kiss Shanea. If only you let me explain my side." Sabi niya habang unti-unting humina ang boses niya. "I never like that kiss Shanea. Cristine insist that kiss, that day I saw you walking towards my car. When I say to Creed that I have something to get in my carm That's was true! And Cristine saw me in my fucking car. And I didn't know the she already open the frontseat of my car. I didn't saw her coming because I was busy looking for my SD card because I want to past it to my subject teacher. Dun ko nilagay yung project ko, Shanea. Until.. she started talking nonestop while me? Still looking for those fucking SD Card. And when I look at outside. I saw you coming.." nakikinig lang ako sa kaniya. Sunod-sunod na tumulo ang luha ko. How come destiny do this to us?
