Mi Gustas

17

All my life, I never knew the feeling of being inloved.

They said it was fascinating and nice. They said it will give you lots of butterflies and will make you go crazy out of nowhere.

No wonder I'm feeling it right now, it's because it's true. Love can make people do things and feel things they never did before.

"let's...cross the line between us" saksi ang alon at lamig ng hangin kung paano kumislap ang mata ko habang nakatitig sa kanya.

We we're alone in the middle of the night, in front of the waves staring andnfeeling each other. It was at this moment when we feel the word—

Love.

"you're not kidding?" he look shock for what I said. The rage in his eyes are like telling me to say 'no'.

I sincerely smile at him. "let's date" seconds of staring at each other, he suddenly held my nape and press a kiss on my lips.

It's our first kiss right in the first place we went to when we first meet. His lips feels so soft and gentle while pressing into mine.

His touch and hold on my nape
are us soft as the way he move his lips. A smile quickly plastered on my face when our lips parted.

"thank you" he quickly give me a kiss on the head and smile at me. Trust me, it was again, a memorable night with a memorable person.

A week passed and we started dating after that night. Boss ko parin siya sa opisina pero kapag nasa labas ay para kaming magnet na hindi mapaghiwalay jus like right now.

"cook for me, something like sinigang" mahina akong natawa dahil sa paraan ng pagbigkas niya ng 'sinigang'.

We are at his place, in his house to be exact. Nasa kusina ako habang pinapanuod niya akong ihanda yung mga iluluto ko.

"help me, wash the meat. I'll cook sinigang na baboy" parang aso siyang sumunod sa sinabi ko at hinugasan yung baboy.

Napapikit agad ako nang wisikan niya ako ng tubig. "wag nga! Umayos ka nga jan!"

"it's my first time being this childish, you change me!" tumawa siya at napailing sa sarili.

We we're like that kapag kami lang pero kapag maraming tao, he will automatically transform into a new person.

It's okay for me to have a secret relationship with him. I am very understanding specially with the kind of background I have, I don't want to cause him a trouble.

"photo copy this for me" ngumiti ako kay miss Stella at tinanggap ang inabot niyang mga documents.

Tumayo ako at dumiritso sa photocopy machine para sundin yung utos niya. Pagkatapos ay binigay ko agad kay miss Stella. "we're attending a board meeting"

"okay po" ngumiti siya sakin bago pumasok sa loob ng opisina ni Dlane. Minutes after, sabay silang lumabas with her following Dlane.

The meeting will be held in the company's conference room kaya dumiritso kami doon. It's in the 11th floor of the building so we need to ride in an elevator.

"good morning Mr. CEO" kahit maliit na ngiti o kahit isang tango man lang ay hindi sinagot ni Dlane ang bati ng lahat. He's always like that.

"let me decide if it is indeed a great morning through your reports" sinenyasan niyang magsimula na, na agad namang sinunod ng lahat.

It took almost an hour and half before he adjourned the meeting. Mukang hindi niya nagustuhan yung reports dahil nakasalubong ang kilay niya.

"Mr. Alcanranza, you're the marketing department head right?" natigil kami ni miss Stella sa paglalakad dahil tumigil bigla si Dlane sa tapat ng pintuan. "you're also the best employee for the past 7 months, right?"

Ngumiti ang kausap niyang lalaki at yumuko. "opo sir, ako nga po"

"you have such a great title" lalong ngumiti ang lalaki at yumuko. "be careful, you might lost it"

"p-po?" nawala bigla ang ngiti sa mukha ng lalaki at napalitan ng pagkagulat. Nginitian lang siya Dlane bago ito naglakad paalis.

Tinitigan ko pa yung lalaki at napabuntong hininga. Parang kanina lang nung malagkit niya akong tinignan. Yumuko ako ng bahagya sa kanya at paalis na sana ng magsalita ito.

"ikaw! Did you tell something to the CEO?" naglakad ito palapit sakin at galit na tinignan ako mula ulo hanggang paa. "para kang sino, eh galing ka naman sa bar?!"

"uhmm...aalis napo ako" nakayuko akong tumalikod sa lalaki pero hinawakan niya ako bigla.

"kinakausap pa kita bayarang babae?!" hahablutin na sana niya yung kamay ko nang biglang may nagsalita.

"I just told you to be careful didn't I?" nabitawan agad ako ng lalaki at gulat na napatingin sa pintuan kung saan nakatayo si Dlane at miss Stella. "you shouldn't have said that, specially to my...woman"

And the last thing I knew, Dlane's dragging me with him while gently holding my hands not minding anyone...
