"You're not talking to me any..more..?" I sighed and finally deciding to glance at him. Kanina pa ito napadpad kung saan ko. Para itong kabute kung saan-saan lang sumusulpot kung saan siya. Minsan niya nga naiisip na baka jinojoke time siya nang lalaki na Count ito dahil napakaraming oras na sinasayang ito sa akin. I searched him up, I found out that this brute was saying the truth. And it slapped me more. But the reassuring part was I got a little crush to him which a good thing because my standards are good. Pero ngayon para siyang aso, sunod nang sunod sa akin.
"Hindi ka ba busy ha?" Sarkastikong wika ko dahilan na ngumiti agad ang lalaki nang malawak. Noong isang araw lang napakalamig ng tingin nito sa akin ngunit ngayon makangiti ito sa akin parang close na close kami ah. Ang galing.
"Nah, I already settle things. Kagabi." I looked at him suspiciously.
"Come on, don't give that look." I squinted my eyes making him pout. That's ruins his cold aura. His aura and his attitudes are really different. His attitude is cute while his whole being is just... stoic, cold, domineering, and ruthless. A type of guy that gives off a vibe that can throw me in the bed and fuck me hard. Napatikhim ako sa iniisip, Quin curiously scanned my face.
"A penny of your thoughts?" He entices. We are in a garden in the Ironov palace, the place was filled with any type of flowering plants. It smells like floral, the table I was in and Quin was in the middle. Some butterflies was minding their worlds. As I sipped the tea that the servants gave and snack for refreshments.
Nalukot ang mukha ko nang malasahan ang tsaa. Green tea but quite tasteless. How people drink this shit?! As calmly as I can I put the tea cup down. Mas masarap pa yung black tea ng Nestea... Siguro ganito din ang maiisip ng iba kung baliw na mga pinsan.
"Alam mo, kating kati na kitang tanongin kung may crush ka ba sa akin o hindi? Alam mo kasi ganito 'yon, sunod ka kasi nang sunod tapos pa-cute ka nang cute sa akin." Smug niyang sabi at hinimas pa ang ilong gamit ang hinlalaking daliri dahilan tignan siya ni Quin ng walang humor. He looked at her with 'seriously?' look. She just hold her laughter. She's actually teasing the poor guy, bored na kasi siya. Apat na araw na mula nang mapadpad siya sa Russia. Hindi pa hinahayaan na umuwi sa pilipinas ang pinsan niya nang baliw nitong fiancee kuno.
And now, she's stuck here. With Quin, the Count.
"Anong crush?" Lukot na lukot ang gwaping mukha nito animo'y na insulto. Grabe naman, yang reaksyon na 'yan. Sinimangutan ko ito dahil hindi man lang ito sumabay sa trip ko sa buhay. Buti nalang pala na wala akong shoots this month. Free out of country pa nga.
"Ipasyal mo nga ako." Busangot kung sabi dahilan mainganyo naman ang Count na hilaw na ito. Hindi ko nga alam kung bakit marunong ito mag tagalog eh, wala naman itong bakas nang pagiging pilipino. I really like how he smelled. Ano bang perfume ng lalaking 'to gusto ko mabili.
"Bored ka na ba?" I nodded and rest my head on the table and looked at him lazily. Kulang nalang ay tamarin akong huminga eh, wala akong ginawa sa bansang 'to kundi kumain at makipag-usap sa lalaking 'to. Napapagod na ako sa gwapong mukha nito.
"Come, I'll tour you to my palace." He said making me immediately stand up. I searched it up, his place is quite big and been ranked as the most well structured palace in Russia. I also able to know that he is an famous architect. He also owned a construction company. A wealthy man and a royalty and my personal slave haha.
Akalain mo, utusan ko lang 'to. Charot.
I FOUND myself riding a luxurious limo. It was owned by none other than the great Count Quintin of Romanov Household. Culture shock ako, ano nalang ako diba? Taga baranggay lang ako wala kaming ganito! Jusme. Oh, I had the great time inside the limo while Quin watched all that and didn't even stopped me. The moment we arrived at his palace I stand in front of it in awe. A palace, a beautiful one. I saw some people outside gathered and line up to greet the Count. I behave my self and stopped my self at rolling eyes as they bow their head to Quin.Hindi ba nila alam na makulit ang amo nila sa akin? Oh well, I will enjoy my self while I'm here and Quin is being kind to me.
On the other hand, Quin was stoic again and just nodded to his subjects and held my hand to guide me inside the palace. I just let him, sa kaniya naman 'to eh. I saw the servants looked at us weirdly like their master never brought a girl like since birth. Or I'm just imagining it?
The day was great, his palace was wide. It has hundreds of rooms which he gladly showed me. But the servants are still bothering everytime Quin would introduced every corner of the palace. The moment I was alone because Quin has to greet someone an unannounced guest and I was left in a hall, he was explaining that his bloodline started. Naputol iyon dahil sa bisita nito, I agreed to wait here. But my curiosity was deepening, I couldn't help but to ask by a servant who happen to pass by the hall.
"Does Quin normally brings someone here and tour them in his palace for fun?" I innocently asks making her looked at me and roamed her sight from side to side before answering to me as if the road was clear.
"The Count, doesn't my lady... The Count is usually aloof and friendless. He doesn't befriend and never acquintained to any one. You're the first woman he ever brought here. It's the custom here that if you bring a woman home and tour her around the house means he welcomes her to his life and spend her lifetime with him in the house... Congratulations, my lady." With that the woman left her with her mouth agape and hanged.
Quin..?
He toured her to his palace knowing the customs of their country? What the actual fuck?
