Undeniable Romance

CINCO

"Good morning, Ma'am. Regarding with Mr. Chua's appointment. Mr. Daez already settled your meeting with him. It will be on Wednesday morning Ma'am." Anunsyo sa akin ng sekretarya ko pagkaupong pagkaupo ko sa aking swivel chair.

"Thank you, Aly. Can you make me a coffee please." I didn't bother to eat my breakfast because I woke up late.

Past ten o'clock na ako ng makauwi sa aking condo kagabi. And I can't sleep peacefully right after. Inabot ako ng alas dos bago nakatulog kaya kanina ay nagkukumahog akong magtungo dito.

Sunod sunod sa pagnotify sa akin ng mga emails ko. Okay, here comes the reality!

I keep myself busy with my laptop to check my emails. To continue my work as well.

"Good morning..." Hindi pa man ako nakakahalati sa pag-check ng mga emails ko ng tuloy tuloy pumasok si Seve.

He's wearing a business suit right now na animo'y makikipag meet sa kanyang kliyente.

"What brings you here?" I ask while keep myself busy.

"...visiting you and I bought some breakfast. Knowing you, tamad kang kumain ng breakfast." He said.

Umangat ang tingin ko sa kanya at balak sanang pagtaasan ito ng kilay ngunit ng makita ko ang itsura nito na bagong gupit ay hindi iyon natuloy bagkus napasulyap ako sa kanya.

I want to curse at him for being handsome. Fine, I'll admit gwapo naman talaga 'to. Babaero nga lang. He's using his good looks right now to please me, tsk!

"What? Am I right ha! You're not eating your breakfast when you're going to work." He insist.

He might think that I'm going to defend myself. But, hell no!

"Ano bang dala mo? Aly already making me a coffee." Sabi ko at muling tinuon sa aking laptop ang aking atensyon.

"I bought your hot chocolate in your favorite coffee shop and your favorite avocado toast with egg and sausage." He said.

Natakam naman ako sa sinabi niya kaya tumayo upang tingnan kung totoo ba ang sinasabi nito.

I took the paper bag from him and look at the food. Napangiti ako.

"Why are you doing this?" I ask him.

These past few days and months never niya akong dinalhan ng mga ganito lalo na kapag ganito kaaga. Sa oras na ito, sigurado akong tulog pa ang lalaking 'to. But, look at him now. Is he really changing? Psh!

".. nothing. Bakit may rason ba dapat?" He said. "Good morning baby." He added as he pull me.

I felt his soft lips touches mine.

"Oops—oh sorry. I'm sorry Ma'am, Sir." We're both caught up by my secretary.

Darn! Napalayo ako sa lalaking ito at nahihiyang bumalik sa swivel chair ko.

"I'm really sorry Ma'am, Sir. Ah I'll just give your coffee ma'am."

"I already have my breakfast, Aly. Sayo nalang." I kept my voice so calm.

"Ganon ho ba, Ma'am. Sige po."

"Just give it to me, Aly. Akin nalang. I'll drink your coffee. Sayang naman effort mo." Umawang ang labi ko ng magsalita si Seve.
