Jackie's POV
So I was listening to the conversation of Andrea and her siblings. Di nya kasi ako pinapaalis kaya nag-phone na lang ako, scrolling into my social media.
*In the conservation*
Andrea: Girls, may papakilala ako sa inyo.
Regina: Chicks??
As I hear it, nagtatawanan sila dahil sa sinabi ng kapatid nya. Ako naman nagpipigil ng tawa, and Andrea gave me a dagger look with matching pagtaas ng kilay so I gestured myself to zip my lips. HAHAHA.
Andrea: Girls! Isa!
Me: Sermon mode! *I whispered to myself*
At tinitigan nanaman po nya ako ng masama.
Me: Okay! Quiet na po.
Gwen: Ate! Sino sya?
Ay! Nahagip pala ako sa camera ni Andrea, naka-video call kasi sila.
Andrea: Girls, this is Jackie, Jackie this is Gwen, Regina and Katrina.
Regina: Hi Ate Jackie!
Andrea: Ano ka ba?! Ikaw yung ate no!
Regina: Ay! Sorry ate!
Them: Hi Jackie!
Me: Hi Ates!
Bunsong bunso ang datingan natin! 😂😂😂.
Andrea: Sige bye na! Anong oras na no?! Inaantok na kami please lang.
Me: Ikaw ang tumawag diba! *I whispered*
She gave me another dagger look.
Me: Okay! I'll stop na!
Andrea bids goodbye to her sisters.
Andrea: Ikaw babe ah!
Me: Aw aw aw! Drea stop it! You're tickling me! Stop!
She stops tickling me.
Andrea: Babe! Can I ask you a question?
Me: Sure! What is it?
Andrea: Kung may manligaw ba sayo na babae l, papayag ka ba?
Me: Um, it depends, if she's worth it, why not, why?
Andrea: Nothing, just asking.
After that, we both take asleep dahil inaantok na rin kami.
*Next Morning*
Nagising akong wala si Andrea sa tabi ko, nasa baba na siguro. Nagstretching muna ako bago ako bumaba. Maya-maya pa, nakasalubong ko si Andrea.
Andrea: Babe! Gising ka na pala! Tara! Let's eat!
Me: Tara! Ikaw ba nagluto?
Andrea: Nope! It was your Ate Catherine who cooks our breakfast.
Me: Oh! Akala ko ikaw nagluto.
Andrea: Ako dapat, but hindi ko gamay yung kitchen and naunahan ako ni Ate Catherine.
Me: Ate Cath always like that since our parents are not here.
*Ate Catherine came*
Ate Cath: Jackie, wala ka bang meeting sa LoveK today?
Me: Mamaya pa ate, why?
Ate Cath: Wala lang, madalas kasi pag andito ka, lagi kang nagmamadali.
Ate Gia: Eh pano, may sweetheart syang kasama no.
Me: Ate Gia!!!
Ate Cath: Dapat pala Andrea lagi kang andito pagbibisita si Jackie.
Me: Ate Cath!!!
Andrea: Don't worry ates I will.
Me: Ates naman, para namang ginawa nyong bodyguard ko si Andrea.
Andrea: Babe! It's fine! Maybe your ates are concern.
Me: Over-protective kamo! Fine! Anyways Drea let's go na nga!
Andrea: Sure.
Andrea and I went to LoveK to do some work. And may meeting kami about sa collab namin ni Andrea. Balak ko kasi ilaunch ang LoveDrea lipsticks and lipgloss ng November sakto since birth month yun ni Andrea.
*At the LoveK*
We are at the middle of the meeting when my secretary but in.
Denise: Ms. J, sorry to interupt you and the meeting but someone is looking for you.
Me: Who??
Denise whispered on me saying that it is Mylene so I nodded and excuse myself.
Mylene: Hi princess!
Me: Hey! What brings you here?
Mylene: I went to Ate Cath's house para sana ihatid ka, but to my surprise, wala ka daw dun so I went here na.
Me: Sorry, I forgot to tell you. I have an urgent meeting kasi.
Mylene: It's okay! So tuloy ba yung lunch natin?
Me: Oh shoot! I'm sorry My, I have a lunch meeting today. Maybe next time
Mylene: Sure!
My secretary but in.
Denise: Ms. J, Ms. Del Rosario is ready for your lunch meeting.
Me: Thanks Denise!
*Andrea came*
Andrea: Hey! Let's go!
Mylene notices Andrea's hands holding my waist.
Me: Sure!
Andrea: Okay! I get my car!
Me: Okay.
I am surprised that Andrea kissed my cheeks and neck in front of Mylene. I noticed Mylene na naiinis at napipikon kay Andrea na tila gusto nyang sampalin at subunutan si Andrea.
I want to stop Andrea but my body can't move, so hinayaan ko si Andrea then she whispered.
Andrea: I'm sorry for that babe! I can't help it.
Me: It's fine!
*After the lunch meeting*
Andrea drove back to the LoveK and she noticed that I am not talking.
Andrea: Babe! Are you okay?
Me: Y-yeah! I'm fine.
Andrea: Is that what happened earlier?
Me: No! It was something else and I don't want to talk about it.
Andrea: Okay! If you say so!
*At LoveK*
I am shocked na andito pa si Mylene, inantay nya talaga ako. Take note, lunch kami umalis ni Andrea, 12pm and dumating kami almost 5pm na. So almost 5 hrs na syang nagaantay sa LoveK. Nafeel ko yung sama ng loob nya or yung rejection.
Mylene: Jackie, can I talk to you?
Confirmed! Masama ang loob nya. She's calling me by my name.
Me: Sure. Andrea, can you stay for a while in my office? I'll be right back.
Andrea: Okay!
*In meeting hall*
Mylene: Sino sya?
Me: Whom?
Mylene: That girl! That girl! That girl! Who kissed you in your neck!
I was quite surprised, she suddenly raise her voice at me.
Me: Oh, It's Andrea! My business partner and my friend.
Mylene: Really??
I got surprised, she hold my arm aggressively.
Me: For real Mylene?! This is the reason why you want to talk to me!!! And let me go!
I pulled back.
Mylene: You don't know how I feel!!!
Me: I know how you feel, but it is below the belt.
Mylene: Below the belt!! Jackie!!! Seriously!!!
Me: Yeah! Below the belt. First of all, you have no right to be jealous because at the first place we're not officially couple. Second, I already told you she's my business partner and my friend.
I technically say the wrong words. I was carried away with my emotions, and I said those harsh words on her, but it is true, we're not officially a couple.
After that, I left and went back to my office.
