Affair with her Bodyguard

16

"Balita ko napapadalas na ang pag-uwi mo ng maaga ah? Nabago na ata ang schedule of work mo," ani ni Francis. He's here again to bother him, of course.

"Of course, I need to pick up my wife," he casually said.

"Wife," he laughed. "When will you introduce yourself as her husband?" Natigilan siya sa pagbabasa ng dokyumento at napaisip. He still doesn't know when is the right time to tell her the truth. He doesn't want her to freak out because they have things going on between them.

"I still don't know. I'm waiting for the right time. I don't want her to freak out."

"Do you like her? I mean, dude, you're freaking changed after you met her. Well, it's a good change though, hindi ka na sobrang subsob sa trabaho," kibit balikat na ani nito.

Do I like her? I still don't know.

But he was sure he was happy and contented with what they had.

Is this like? Fuck, I don't have any idea what love and like because I've never experienced being drawn to a woman. Women flock to my feet, but no one can get his attention.

"I don't know. Can you please don't ask me about that? I'm working fucker." Tumawa lang ito sa kaniya at muling nagsalita.

"Pero 'di ba sabi mo pagkatapos ng kontrata niyo pwede ko na siya kunin?" he smirked.

Naibagsak niya ang kamay sa table at napatingin dito.

"Do you want to see angels? Because I can kill you right here, right now," he glared at his friend.

"Woah! You can ready to kill now? Because of a woman? Congratulations!" umawang ang labi nito at napapalakpak pa. Kinuha niya ang lagayan ng salamin niya at binato rito tiyaka binalik ang tingin sa ginagawa.

"Anyways, I'm serious about that. If you hurt her, I'll get her." Muling umangat ang tingin niya rito. Seryoso itong nakatingin sa kaniya kahit may ngiti pa rin sa labi. Binaba niya rin agad ang tingin at pinagpatuloy ang ginagawa.

"Aalis na rin ako dahil may trabaho rin naman ako. I just want to pissed you a little," he laughed. He just waved his hand nonchalantly without looking at his friend. Narinig niya na lang ang pagsara ng pinto at doon na siya napabuga ng hangin.

Why do I feel threatened? As if I'll hurt her. No one can get Aj away from me.

She's currently serving dishes to the new customer. Kanina pa siya patingin-tingin sa malaking orasan na nasa restaurant dahil hindi na siya makapaghintay na makita si Xion. Isang oras pa bago matapos ang duty niya at para sa kaniya ay para iyong isang araw.

Bakit ba ang bagal ng oras?

Napatingin siya sa entrance nang may pumasok. She greeted the customer with a smile.

"Hey! Good thing you're still here," he smiled. It's Lloyd. Madalas itong kumakain doon ng dinner, ngayon lang ito medyo na-late ng punta.

"Late dinner?" nakangiting tanong niya.

"No, I'm just here for the dessert and of course to see the best server." Natawa naman siya rito. Lloyd and she are close enough to joke around. Mabait naman kasi ito sa kaniya, hindi lang dahil malaki ito mag-tip. Mukha itong nakakatakot tingnan sa una pero pagnakausap mo naman pala ay hindi.

"Hmm. I'll get matcha tiramisu and iced lemon juice," sambit nito habang nakatingin sa menu. Sinarado rin naman nito agad at inabot sa kaniya.

"Noted," ngiting sambit niya. Dahil hindi naman kailangan lutuin iyong inorder niya ay pumunta siya sa pastry section para kumuha ng slice matcha tiramisu at siya na rin ang gumawa ng iced lemon juice dahil madali lang naman iyon. After minutes his order is ready. Muli siyang bumalik sa table nito at sinerved ang order ng lalaki.
