Mr. Left (Mr. Series #2)

Chapter 28

"Dati kasi tuwing naglilinis ako ng room, pinapanood ako ng mga babae," panimula niya. He looks so funny yet attractive when he speaks. "Nandoon sila sa bintana. Eh, isa ako sa cleaners, nakikita ko sila sa peripheral vision ko na pinagmamasdan nila ako."

Hindi ko mapigilang mapahagikgik. Nagta-Tagalog pala siya kapag lasing?

"Eh baka kaya ka tinitingnan kasi chine-check lang nila kung naglilinis ka ba talaga!" Anne stated her unconvincedness. Nako! May tama na talaga ang isang ito!

"No, they are from another section. And our room is located on the fourth floor, while theirs is located on the third floor. They walk right up to me to watch me."

Natawa naman ako sa itsura ni Jhon Rey habang nagkukwento. Hindi naman talaga maitatanggi na gwapo siya. Somehow, naniniwala ako sa kuwento niya. I mean, nakikita ko naman ang ebidensya.

We're at the side of the venue, which seemed like an area for chilling out. There's a long table and black couches where we are sitting right now. Our guests were in the crowd, enjoying the cuisine and the party. I think it's almost 6 p.m., and some people are saying their goodbyes to our parents.

"Blah! I don't believe you! Aaron is more attractive than you are, Jhon Rey!" she yelled.

"Ask Aaron, that guy used to be my classmate!" ayaw paawat na sagot ni Jhon Rey.

Napatingin naman ako kay Aaron. Nagkibit-balikat lang siya. Epal naman ng isang ito. Walang ka-abog abog. Dapat di na 'to inimbitahan, eh!

"Ano, Sheen May? Naniniwala ka ba sa kwento niya?" tanong ni Rod.

"Mukha namang totoo." I cast another look in John Rey's direction.

"Di ba?" tanong niya habang nakatingin sa akin. Natutuwa ako sa paraan niya ng pananalita sa akin. Para niya akong kabarkada. "I'm telling the truth. Mukha ba akong nagsisinungaling?"

Nagulat ako nang tumayo siya at lumapit sa akin. Umupo siya sa tabi ko. Napatingin naman ako kina Rod habang sumesenyas kung anong gagawin ko dahil unang beses ko lang siyang nasaksihang ganito kalasing.

Rod got up from the couch and remarked, "I think we should leave them," before walking away. I was speechless. Why would he think it was a good idea to leave us here? I still want to talk to them and catch up! Why would they leave me with this drunk man?

Aaron followed his brother while taking care of my drunk best friend, but when he was about to go out, he came back and approached me.

"Don't worry; I'll look after your best friend. Promise, I won't do anything to her, and congratulations on your wedding," he murmured hastily before vanishing entirely from my line of sight. I was taken aback when he came over to inform me of that. I thought he would ignore me forever.

"Hey, haven't I told you not to wear something like this?" Jhon Rey asked as he gently stroked the back of my neck and shoulders. His touch sent thrills down my spine whenever he touched me.

He took off his coat and put it on me. He also pulled on his neck tie to loosen it up. Hindi niya alam na sobrang gwapo niya nang gawin niya iyon.

He appeared to be looking in my direction. It is possible that the alcohol he consumed is causing his face to get red at this point. "Hey, what's up, and who are you?" My brows immediately furrowed in response to the query that was asked. "Why are you so pretty?"

I smirked. Is he trying to hit on me?

"What, you weren't familiar with me?" I asked, trying to mess with him too. He squinted and leaned closer; it seemed like he was trying to remember who I was.
