Me & U (On hold)

Penthouse

Serenity Xavie

It's been what? 6 months? Since Aiden started to court me. Not gonna lie, I'm falling for my bestfriend. You've read it right. Kung dati ay nag cringe ako tuwing maiisip ko na magiging kami ni Aid, ngayon, kinikilig na ako. Totoo naman kasi, Aiden is a total package, gwapo, matalino, gentleman, masipag, sweet, etc etc. Di ko na iisa isahin dahil baka maniwala kayo na may lalaking ganon sa totoong mundo. Bleh!

I'm currently on a flight to Paris, France and I can stay there for 2 days before I go back to Manila. I'm on my way to the first class, which I'm rarely assigned to. Madalas kasi ay senior attendants ang na a-assign dito. Di naman ako kinakabahan, I'm confident in my work.

Pagkapasok ko ay onti lang ang tao dito, mga 3 lang ganon. I'm about to serve the first meal pero tulog at nakataklob yung isang passenger kaya di ko na naservan.

"We are now arriving in Charles de Gaulle Airport with the local time of..." I made the announcement. The whole flight nagpapabalik balik lang ako sa First at Business class dahil onti lang ang mga tao doon. 

"Good job for another successful flight captain" Sabi ko dun sa captail pilot na lumabas na sa cockpit.

"Thank you for your service ladies." Sabi nung captain.

I did my last checking in the first class to see if may mga naiwan, may mg kalat, and etc. bago lumabas.

"Ngayon naniniwala na ko nung sinabi mong ginagawa mong runway ang isle ng eroplano. Damn, you're so hot Nity." Napalikwas ako sa ginagawa ko nung marinig ko ang boses ni Aid.

"What the-"

"Words, Nity. I'm a passenger. Sumbong kita sa suprvisor mo." Sabi ni Aid which made me shut my mouth.

"What the coincidence kasi yun." He laughed at my words. "Ano bang ginagawa mo dito? You have your own private jet!" Sabi ko. Siya kasi yung passenger na tulog lang buong flight, kung totoo mang tulog siya, kaya di ko  napansin na si Aiden yun.

"Visiting you? Besides, I have a business to attend to here." Sabi niya habang hinihinay ako matapos.

Pagkakuha ko ng baggage ko, na agad na kinuha din ni Aiden mula sa kamay ko kahit de gulong naman yun, ay lumabas na kami. Pinagtitinginan pa nga ako ng co-workers at pilots namin eh.

"Uhm, Xavie?" Tawag sakin nung lead namin for that flight habang naglalakad kami palabas ng airport. "Are you going to the hotel with us or are you..." Tingin niya kay Aiden.

"She's going with me. Seems like I'm staying in the same hotel as you guys. Who knows, maybe in the same room with Ms. Xavie." Namula ako sa hiya sa sinabi ni Aiden kaya reflexively ko siyang hinampas.

"He's joking." Sabi ko habang hinihimas niya yung braso niyang hinampas ko.

Tinawanan nalang ako nung mga kasamahan ko at nag bye bago ko nilingon ng masama si Aiden.

"What was that?!" Singhal ko but my anger quickly left my body when he suddenly attacked by forehead with a peck.

"I'm just joking, alam ko naman na alam nilang joke lang din yun. Unless gusto mong totohanin." Sabi niya sabay takbo palayo sakin dala ang mga gamit namin.

As expected, paglabas namin ng airport ay mag naghihintay na sasakyan na agad samin with a driver para maghatid samin sa hotel.

"Kelan balik mo sa pinas?" Tanong ko habang pinaglalaruan niya ang mga daliri ko sa kamay.

"Same flight mo." Sabi niya.

"Seriously? Pano mo nalamang schedules ko?" I asked.

"Well, I'll have to thank Ms. Del Gomez for that." Sabi niya.

Lagot ka sakin pag nagkita tayo Mina.

"Aiden Lee." Sabi ni Aiden sa receptionists who quickly gave him two key cards. Walang tanong-tanong, basta binigay agad sa kanya yun. There are also bell boys who quickly guided us and bring our luggage to the room.

"Aiden, wait, di pa ako nakakapagcheck in." Sabi ko kasi hila hila niya ako.

"So? Same room naman tayo?" He looked at me in full seriousness! 

"Pinagsasabi mo? I have a room under the airline!"

"Well, as a matter of fact, that room is the room we will be sharing."

He dragged me in the exclusive elevator which will lead us to the penthouse! Opo, penthouse po yung room namin! The most expensive room in this freaking hotel!

"I doubt that the company will give me a penthouse room Aiden." Sabi ko.

"Well, the owner of this hotel said otherwise." Sabi naman niya.

"Oh, tell me who the owner is, I will say thank you personally and tell him or her to stop doing this." Sabi ko sarcastically with matching irap. 

"Well, you're welcome Ms. Xavie, and don't worry. I'll spoil you when you are only with me." Kinindatan pa ko nung loko while looking at my very shocked face.

"A what?! When?!" Knowing Aid, tama ang nasa isip ko. "When did you freaking own this hotel?" Sorry to the bell boy who flinch at my shocked tone.

"Last week. Harpus na ang biggest shareholder nito. I only have time to surprise visit it now." Nag sign pa siya dun sa bellboy na secret lang yung sinabi niya.

"So Nity, welcome to our paradise." Sabay bukas nung elevator showing the only room in the floor.
