I tied my hair up in a messy bun before I went out of my room in Khalid's home. It was a wide two-storey house with a lot of navy blue colors everywhere. Sa ibaba ay mayroon siyang sariling gym na may entry way patungo ng pool area. Kung hindi ako nagkakamali ay roon ko siya matatagpuan ngayong umaga.

Hindi nga ako nagkamali. Naabutan ko siya sa gym na sinusuntok ang punching bag habang nakasuot siya ng airpods. Kung tumitigil sa pagsuntok ay naririnig ko pang sumasabay sa lyrics ng awiting pinakikinggan.

I leaned on the door frame with my arms folding in front of my chest. Halatang hindi niya ako napansin kaya naman kinuha ko ang pagkakataon upang mapagmasdan siya.

Tagatak na ang kanyang pawis at basa na ang kulay abong sando. Natutulala tuloy ako lalo na noong itinaas niya ang laylayan ng kanyang sando saka iyon kinagat. He even shut his eyes and threw his head back while panting, giving me a good view of his defined jaw and adam's apple.

Why is this man so dreamy? Minsan nakakalimutan ko talagang mas bata lang siya nang kaunti sa Daddy ko. Well, my Dad is still well-built but Khalid is really aging like fine wine.

Siguro ay nasa lahi na nila iyon. I'd seen his older cousins. They were like a bunch of vampires who have slower aging process. Kahit na may mga edad na ay talagang may ipagmamalaki pa rin.

Tinanggal ni Khalid ang airpods niya. Nang dadamputin sana niya ang inuminan ng tubig ay napansin niya akong nakatayo sa may pinto.

"Morning," he greeted before he poured some drink in his mouth, his eyes were still glued on my direction. Nang natapos uminom ay itinuro niya ang threadmill. "Wanna do your workout?"

I shook my head. "I changed my workout schedule. Mamayang hapon ako. I'll go make our breakfast."

He jerked his head. "Aalis ako mamaya. I'm gonna visit your tita Serene's tattoo studio with some friends. Do you wanna come?"

"Silly. I'm your bodyguard."

Khalid smirked. "No. You're my baby. You will tag-along just to bond with me."

Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay. "Eh 'di parang nonsense din ang pagkuha ko ng work experience!"

"Nah. I'm gonna teach you some self-defense instead. That will be more valuable to you, kumpara sa paggagwardya mo sa'kin." Dinampot niya ang tuwalya saka naglakad palapit sa akin. "Come with me first. I got you something yesterday."

"What is it?" I asked but he just led me inside his room.

"There. Check it all out. I bought everything myself while you were getting your official ID in the agency," aniya habang itinuturo ang sandamakmak na paperbags.

Excited akong lumapit sa mga iyon, ngunit nang mahila ko palabas ang una ay kaagad akong sumimangot.

"This is an overall for adult." I lifted it properly. "And it even has bunny ears!"

He smiled proudly. "Yes, I know. Bagay 'yang pantulog mo. I used to buy you dozens of that. Just the smaller ones of course. Can you put it on? Let's see if it fits."

I groaned. "Daddy, this would look good on me . . . two decades ago!"

"Well, I bet it would still look cute on you. Kaysa naman 'yong parang mga kurtina ang isuot mo."

Lalong tumikwas ang aking mga labi. "Those are lingeries and nighties! I have dozens of those back home!"

"I know what those are and I don't like seeing you wear those. Ang sagwa, Anie."
