When I Met You (GXG)

CHAPTER 10

"M- miss Rich."

She rolled her eyes on me and then she entered the condo. Noong nasa living room na siya, nakita ko na tinitingnan niya si Elijah na natutulog.

I saw her went to the bedroom which made me wonder. Nang lumabas siya ng kwarto ay may dala dala na itong maliit na stainless na palanggana na may lamang tubig at bimpo. My heart melts when I knew what she was planning to do.

Lumapit siya kay Elijah, at ipinunas ang bimpo sa mukha nito pati narin ang leeg. She takes off Elijah's blazer, and then wipe her arms.

"Get the toner, eye cream, moisturizer, and face oil in her room, Alcazar." Nagtataka kong sinunod ang kanyang pinag utos. Nang makuha ko na lahat ay agad akong bumalik sa living room.

I saw her applying the toner in her face. Kailangan niya ba talagang gawin yan?

"M- maam, do you really need to do that?" I asked her.

"She's gonna freak out tomorrow morning if she found out she didn't do her night skin care routine. It's very important for her." I nodded in disbelief. Ako nga hilamos lang tapos moisturizer, minsan tinatamad pang maghilamos.

While she was doing skin care routine for Elijah, I can't help but to adore her. Sabi ni Elijah lumalayo si Miss Rich sa kanya, but I bet there's a reason bakit niya ginagawa yun. I can see that she really cares for Elijah. Nakikita ko naman ang other side niya ngayon bilang isang ate. And my heart can't help but to admire her.

Nang matapos siya ay agad na binalik niya ang mga ginamit niya sa kwarto ni Elijah. Kinumutan niya ito at nag iwan siya ng note, hindi ko na binasa ito dahil hindi naman ako marites.

"Let's go." kinuha ko ang aking mga gamit at sumunod kay Miss Rich palabas ng condo.

When we got here in the parking lot, magpapaalam na sana ako kay Maam dahil nasa tapat na kami ng aking kotse, hindi ko na natuloy dahil naunahan ako sa pagsasalita nito.

"You'll ride with me." iba kaagad ang aking naisip sa kanyang sinabi.

"I will Maam?" she looked at me seriously and rolled her eyes at me.

"Clean that dirty mind of yours, Alcazar." I chuckle in her response.

"I have a very clean mind, Maam." baka matagal ka nang nakaupo sa akin kung hindi malinis ang isip ko. char.

"Whatever, let's go." I follow her as she lead the way to her car. I'll just pick up my car here tomorrow.

Neither of us are talking while we're on the road. I feel the pain in my head, as the effect of alcohol start banging. Napahawak agad ako sa aking sentido, at minasahe ko ito.

"If I didn't come, you're really gonna sleep in there, right?" agad akong napalingon dahil sa kanyang tanong.

"I have no choice, Maam. Namilit ng namilit po si Elijah. But I swear Miss Rich, nothing happens between us po. Well if you're thinking I'm hitting your sister." pagpapaliwanag ko.

"It's our Mom's death anniversary today." napatahimik ako sa kaniyang sinabi.

"Oh... uhmm, I'm sorry Miss Rich, I didn't know." I said with a low voice. She cleared her throat before saying something again.

"I allowed you to be friends with her, but if this is what friends for you, I will oppose." is she this protective to Elijah? Dahil ba ayaw niya sa ideya na makikipag- relasyon si Elijah sa babae or dahil ayaw niya lang talaga sa akin.

"Don't you like me, Maam?" di ko na napigilang tanungin. I was startled when the she suddenly stopped the car. Buti nalang at nakahawak agad ako sa handle, kaya hindi ako nauntog.
