Will you choose me? (Montecarlo Heir #2)

Kabanata 26

Napasinghap ako ng mapatigil sa paghakbang si Anton. He turned to me, lips apart, and squinting eyes, as if he didn't catch what I said.

With his reaction, embarrassment quickly filled me with what I just said. He took two steps forward and I'm trying my very best not to look down. He seems unaware of how hot he looks right now. Pinilit ko ang sarili na tumingin lang sa mga mata niya. Tumaas ang isang kilay niya.

"You want to go to my condo?" He asked to clarify.

"Uhh.. well.. you s-said you need to get s-something... and I only got a few h-hours left.. so..."

He exhaled and stood snappily. He tilted his head while twisting his lips. I looked to the side to avoid his gaze.

If ayaw mo.. okay lang naman.

He exhaled. "If you want to. We'll just grab a take out and watch a movie, then?"

Halos magtambol ang puso ko at napalabi akong tumango para mapigilan ang saya sa pagpayag niya. Okay!

Saglit na lumapit sakin si Matt. Naghihintay ng sasabihin.

"Sa condo.. kami.. tayo ni Anton.." My voice almost fades when I realized their security is here with us.

Tipid na tumango si Matt at nilingon si Anton. "Engineer. Alas diyes lang si ma'am."

Sumulyap sakin si Anton, bahagyang naninimbang ang mukha. I exhaled audibly. "I still have time. We'll.. probably watch a movie. May kukunin din siya sa condo niya." Tawag ko kay Matt. Inignora ko ang makahulugan niyang tingin at naglakad na palapit sa passenger seat ni Anton. Anton is quick to unlock his door kaya mabilis akong pumasok at humalukipkip doon.

Sa sasakyan ay humalimuyak ang pabango ni Anton. Napapikit ako habang sumisinghot. Mabilis din siyang pumasok at sinara ang pinto.

"Are you sure you'll be okay in my condo?" I heard him asked. I opened my eyes and turned to him.

He cleared his throat. "Its just that there's nothing special in my unit. You might get bored."

I heard him talking to me but my eyes are busy wandering on his biceps that flexes as he grip on the steering wheel. Muling bumigat ang paghinga ko.

"Reina." Dinungaw niya ako na nakataas ang isang kilay para tawagin ang atensyon ko.

I blinked multiple times. "Ahh.. oo.. okay lang. Just.. go get your stuff.. and we'll watch.." pilit kong sagot ng di mapigilang muling bumaba ang tingin sa katawan niya.

"A movie? What movie would you like to see?" He probed.

"I don't.. just.. drive, Anton. Doon nalang natin.. tignan." I rest my back comfortably and focused my eyes in front. Gusto kong mailing dahil muling umiinit ang mukha ko sa pinaggagagawa.

He sighed heavily before turning the car engine on and started driving. We stopped at a famous fast food drive thru for a takeout. Dahil nagdinner na kami sa kanila ay mostfly finger foods nalang ang inorder niya.

We arrived shortly at his condo tower. Bitbit ni Anton ang bag ng takeout namin. Matt stepped out of my car at itong Anton eh inimbita pa siya na umakyat para kumain. Good that Matt refused and asked to stay downstairs. He pulled his pack of cigarettes on his back pocket and nodded at me.

"Intayin kita ma'am. Alas diyes ho." Paalala niya sa makahulugang tingin. I took a deep breath and nodded back.

Ramdam ko ang paninitig ni Anton kaya mas lalong bumibilis ang paghinga ko. There must be something wrong with me. I feel like I got a fever or something.

We reached his floor and when we stopped in front of his unit, nagkatinginan kami. He let out a deep sigh before typing in his passcode, slowly.

I don't know if he's doing it on purpose or I'm just too attentive that I was able to get his passcode. My birthdate. His unit passcode is my birthdate.
