Kissing the Agony (Agony Series #1)

Chapter 11

I stared at him for a few minutes, giving him a questioning look. I really don't get it. I don't believe it. I can't believe him!

"Seryoso ka ba? Tatlong taon? Cyrus?" tanong ko ulit sa kanya dahil hindi talaga ako naniniwala.

He can't possibly be that crazy.

He licked his lips as he smiled sheepishly. He may have thought about how crazy his idea was.

"Just give me your bank account and the total amount of how much I am going to pay. I'll transfer the money to you, stat."

I raised my brow at that.

"Bahala ka sa buhay mo," I said as I rolled my eyes at him. Tinalikuran ko siya tsaka ako pumasok sa loob ng silid namin at ni-lock ang pintuan. Bahala talaga siya sa buhay niya. Inaantok pa ako! I need to sleep!

"Oh? Anong nangyari, teh? Nag-away kayo?" tanong ni Dorothy. Umiling lang ako sa kanya bago tuluyang sumalampak sa kama.

"Matutulog muna ako. Walang gigising sa akin! Kapag may naghanap, sabihin mo ay umuwi na sa Maynila!" I said that before burying my face on the pillow and letting myself doze off.

Alas otso na ng gabi nang magising ako. Grabe siguro ang pagod ko kaya ganoon na lang kahaba ang tulog ko. Tumingin ako sa bintana at nakumpirma ko ang oras nang makitang madilim na nga at ang tanging maliwanag na lang sa labas ay ang buwan.

I looked around to see if Dorothy's in the room, but then I heard her voice from the shower. She's singing a Jessie J song. I chuckled when she didn't reach the note.

I grabbed my phone to check on my social media and to see if I got any messages. I read all my notifications but there are two notifications that got my eyes to open really wide.

One was an e-mail from my bank, saying that I received a particular amount of money from a bank account. The other one is a text message from some unknown number but I already know who this brute is.

"I transferred the maximum amount that I was allowed to transfer every day. I will transfer again tomorrow, and I am able to pay for the whole three years. I'll still coordinate with my bank to see if they can do something about the maximum amount, so I won't have to transfer money to you everyday. I'd like to pay in full as soon as possible." The text message says.

That asshole! Talagang tinotoo niya yung tatlong taon? What the hell?

I typed in my reply.

Rhian :

So you want us to have sex for three years? What the fuck are you thinking?

After a minute or two, he replied. I already added his name to my contacts.

Cyrus :

We don't have to have sex every fucking night, Rhi. We can do other things and go to some other places, maybe. It's not necessarily have to be sex, you know. Masyado ka namang napaghahalataan na patay na patay sa akin.

I gasped at his reply.

Ang kapal ng mukha!

Rhian :

You wish!

Hindi ko na hinintay ang reply niya at nag-charge na lang ako ng phone. Malolowbat na kasi dahil kahapon ko pa 'yon last ni-charge.

From my bed, I transferred to our sofa so I could sit there while I canceled all the bookings. Good thing that none of them has paid me, yet. Ang hassle mag-refund, 'no.

Katatapos ko lang mag-cancel ng bookings nang lumabas si Dorothy sa banyo. She looked fresh and really pretty even without make-up. I wonder why her charm is not effective on the Lieutenant Colonel.
