Chase Pastor, Chase!

Chapter 1

"Cle where are you anak? Kanina kapa namin hinihintay dito!" Mom speaking on the phone, she's calling me cause there's a small welcoming party at the church pero ayoko pumunta kase hindi naman talaga ako kagaya sa kanila na religious.

Since I was a kid, they always wanted me to be faithful in our religion and serve God pero ayoko talaga sa ganoong bagay. Feeling ko ang higpit ng religion namin kaya hindi ko na eenjoy ang teenage life ko. They know that I go to parties and drink alcohol but they still think na magbabago pa ako, whenever I sleep, I always hear them praying for me to change and be faithful na.

I got inside my car and drove to our own church. Dad built it because he was so inspired when I was born, he said it was a big blessing that God gave them so nagpatayo siya ng malaking church which cost him a lot of money. But he didn't care, he's crazy rich anyway.

Pagpasok ko sa room kung saan sila nagpaparty, I bumped into someone, his smell was very seductive and manly, I could feel his chest very well and I knew he was more than that.

"Oh my- I'm so sorry" I said apologetically.

I looked into his eyes, he was shocked as well. He was wearing those white dresses that priests wear pero hindi kagaya nila na matatanda na ang mukha, he looked like my age at gwapo pa.

"Are you okay? I'm sorry I didn't see you" His voice was deep, I could get lost to it at ang tangkad niya rin, hindi ko talaga inexpect na may mga taong gusto pa talaga mag pastor kung pwede naman sila maging dancer sa club, mas malaki kita niya doon.

"Miss?"

Before I could talk back, I saw Mom coming towards us while holding a glass of juice. She looked so happy to see me talking with a pastor, akala siguro niya magbabago na ako.

"Celést you're here na pala anak! Kilala mo na ba siya?" Mom went beside me and held my shoulders with her other arm. I shook my head in response.

"He's our new pastor here in our church, he'll be serving here for the rest of his life"

Rest of life? Huh. We'll see.

"So you're saying he's handsome as hell? Describe him more! Baka siya ang magpapabalik sakin sa simbahan eh!"

"Ew landi mo, basta ang gwapo niya, parang yung mga lalake na finafollow mo sa IG"

Wena screamed like she was being kidnapped. Tinakpan ko ang baba niya pero hindi parin ito tumigil.

"Ano ba! Nakakahiya ka"

"Sabado ngayon diba? Sisimba ako bukas, hintayin moko para tatabihan kita"

I just glared at her and called the waitress to give us another bottle of beer. Pagkatapos ko kasing pumunta sa party sa church ay niyaya ako ni Wena kasi daw deserve namin mag inuman after ng exams.

12 am na nang makauwi ako sa bahay, bukas ang pinto kaya pumasok na agad ako, I saw one of our yaya at the sala doing something kaya lumapit ako sa kanya.

"Bakit gising pa po kayo?" I said and sat on the couch while staring at the chandelier.

"Ah, hindi po kase ako makatulog maam e"

Hindi na ako sumagot sa sinabi niya at unti unting nakatulog, hindi ko na kase kaya pang umakyat sa kwarto ko at magbihis, pagod na pagod na ako. Ilang sandali pa ay may bumitbit sakin at dali dali naman akong gumising para tingnan kung sino.

"Dad?"

"Ilang beses ko bang sasabihin sayo na wag matulog sa sala? Kaya nga ang laki ng kwarto mo diba?"

I'm all grown up but he still treats me like a little kid, even if he knows I've been going to clubs and parties ni hindi ako nakarinig ng isang reklamo sa kanya.
