A CONFESSION
Not-so fast updates....
Clea's Point of View
My heart was still beating triple times than normal. Oh damn, sino ba namang hindi!
If your freaking ex replied "I miss you." Wtf is that?! Gosh, he's giving me a hard time, akala ko nga ay naka-move-on na ako! Hindi pa pala!
"Ma'am Clea!" My secretary called me. I am at a photoshoot pa for a commercial.
"Yes?" I asked her. Magrereport ata siya ng mga schedules ko for this week.
"Uhm, I'll be reporting lang yung schedule niyo for the week. Kaunti lang ito." I know na hindi iyon totoo, madami yan.
"Today, 4 PM: may meeting kayo with Lim Enterprise's. Iisa na lang yan ha, baka mag reklamo ka pa?" She replied and I gasped.
Did I just heard her right? Sa kompanya mismo nung ex ko?! What the hell?
"Uh- let's cancel that one." I replied with a smile.
"No ma'am, it's all settled na. You'll just be endorsing their wine." She replied back.
"Eh maganda naman ratings ng wine nila ha!" My subconscious mind replied.
"I also didn't know." Akala ko sa utak ko lang nasabi, narinig niya rin pala.
"Yan lang ang schedules mo for this week. Kaunti lang anh inaapprove ko na ieendorse mo, it's better for you na rin. You need to keep in shape, sleep a lot. Dami mo ng eyebugs e." Manenermon na naman yan.
"Stop na. Yan ka na naman. Daig mo pa nanay ko!" I replied, and she chuckled lightly. Speaking of my mother, after I said sorry to her ay medyo naging awkward na ang paguusap namin minsan.
"Ok, whatever. Send me the deets na lang." I sighed deeply. "Ok, I'll email it right away." She replied before getting her laptop

(Lim Enterprises)
4 PM at their company.
You will talk to their CEO to finalize the endorsement.
I have a bad feeling about this meeting/ endorsement but sayang naman ang pera.
This will be a wasted opportunity if pinalagpas ko pa. And besides, makikita ko pa naman ex ko by doing this. Charot lang.
"Are you sure na Lim Enterprises to ha?" I replied and she just nodded before massaging her temple.
I just needed to ask, besides, she knew everything what I went through before. She's like another friend, or I might say another little sister to me.
She were there when I am at my lowest. She knows how much I suffered before but she also knew how much I loved that fucking guy.
"Oo nga Clea, oo! Sa Lim Enterprises nga! Parang hindi naman kapaki-paniwala e! Sabihin mo, nahihiya ka lang siyang makita muli!" Pang aasar niya pa sa akin.
I sighed. Wala naman akong magagawa, she's right. I'm scared to face him again.
I'm scared that I might ruin him again. I'm scared to fall in love again, because, every time I loved someone, it becomes a disaster.
"Basta pumunta ka, kung hindi ka pumunta, dodoblehin ko diet mo." Pagbabanta niya pa sa akin.
"Hoy! Grabe ka naman, sige na sige na, pupunta na ako!" I hissed. Ayoko kayang mapunta ulit sa super strict diet niya na every hour nandiyan siya nagmomonitor sa'yo.
Pagkatapos noong paguusap namin ay agad siyang umalis dahil may pupuntahan pa raw.
"Fuck it's almost 3! I need to get dressed na. Putangina!!!" Sigaw kong wika sa sarili habang nasa kotse nagiisip ng gagawin.
Dali-dali akong nagtungo sa aking unit para kumuha ng dress na gagamitin ko. Kakamiss din tuloy si ex na nagsusuot ng damit ko after naming mag ano.
Just kidding, lumago na talaga ang kompanya niya ha. Siguro masaya na siya with his future son or daughter. Ewan ko na lang.
Natapos akong magbihis ng 3:30, bawal ma late, kaya kahit medyo haggard pa ay nag drive agad ako papunta sa kompanya niya.
I parked my car inside and started walking slowly. I know I was getting attention. Sikat nga naman.
"Ma'am saan po kayo?" Tanong sa akin ng guard.
It was like the past were happening again. Our story started like this....
"Uh! I have an endorsement here kuya." I replied with a smile. He looked confused kaya tinanggal ko ang aking shades and mask para makilala niya.
"Ay ma'am! Kayo ho pala iyan!" Napakamot-ulo niyang wika.
Nag sorry ito at agad akong sinamahan papunta sa office ng ex ko.
Shit! Puso, kalma lang. Baka nga may asawa na yan e.
"Meeting adjourned!" I can hear someone else's deep and cold voice. His voice were the same as before. They are hot, sharp and it was cold as an ice.
Nagsilabasan ang mga empleyado at kitang-kita sa mga mata nila ang takot. Was he angry?
Kumatok ako sa pintuan niya ng dahan-dahan, avoiding to create a big noise na baka ikagalit niya.
"Ano na naman?! Putangina oh!" Sigaw niya bago buksan ang pintuan ng sobrang lakas. When I looked at his eyes, he was angry, very angry. But it suddenly changed when he saw me.
It feels like his stares are telling me that he wants to hug me. Aish, I was just hallucinating.
"Uhh." Kabado kong wika sa kanya.
"I'm here for the endorsement 4:00PM sharp right?" I said and looked at my watch. And it is exactly 4 in the afternoon!
I'm happy I'm not late.
Damn, he's much scarier now.
His voice, he became more mature, his moustache. Oh fuck! It suits him very fucking well!
"Ah, oo. Wait for me here." He said before going back to his office.
"Uh, can I go to the bathroom muna?" Pagpapaalam ko, kinakabahan na ako!!!
Itinuro niya ang cr at dali-dali akong nagtungo doon. Not to pee or anything, I just needed to think.
"Tangina mo Xion, After how many years, Ikaw pa rin." Bulong ko sa sarili. I sighed.
As I was looking at my reflection at the mirror, I saw someone else's reflection looking at me, smirking while licking his lips to form a smirk.
