Encounter 7

Noene's POV

Nandito ako ngayon sa condo ni Raphael. He was at the bathroom taking a quick shower. Nandito naman ako sa may kitchen at nagluluto ng dinner.

'Mag asawa lang ang peg' I smiled with the thought. Nagluto lang ako ng aking especialty na Adobong boiled egg. Well yezz specialty ko to kung gusto nyong malaman ang recipe eh tapusin nyo ang librong to chariz! HAHAHA

Habang ibinabalanse ang lasa ng dish ay naramdaman ko ang pagyakap ni Raphael mula sa likodan ko.

He rest his chin on my shoulder.

" Sweetpea that smells delicious, I'm already hungry.." he said in a low voice. God help me, I'm falling deeper...

"Well, baka 1 ang grade ko sa food prep noong college." I said proudly not looking at him.

He kisses my cheeks and I can't help but smile and sad at the same time. Okay lang.. there's still 2 months left...

"Luto na syaa!" Saad ko at saka sya nilingon. Our eyes met, I was shocked sa sobrang lapit ng muka namin. Gosh.. he's shining in my eyes. His eyes are glowing..he has slight tan skin.. his eyelashes ang haba, his nose... his lips were so pink. Mas kissable pa ito sa labi ko.. ano kayang skincare nya?..

He grabs my waist pulling me closer.. and closer...is he going to kiss me? Our face grew closer till it's half an inch. I closed my eyes waiting for his lips to meet mine when the door sprung open.

Raphael's POV

" Raphael! I missed you hun!" She run towards me hugging me. It was Khristine. Noene and I are having that peaceful moment when the door sprung open revealing this girl. Inalis ko ang pagkakayakap sa akin ni Khristine and put my arms around Noene's waist.

"How did you get inside? Hindi ka manlang din kumatok Khristine." I said coldly

"Is that how you welcome your fiancee? Raph naman kakarating ko lang galing abroad hindi mona nga ako sinundo sa airport eh." Saad nito, nakalimutan ko na ngayon nga pala dadating ito.

"I'm busy, plus you have your own driver and staffs to pick you up. Para saan pa ang naging kilala ang pamilya mo sa halos buong mundo. And you're not my fiancee, you will never be." Her eyes rolls as I speak and she turns to Noene.

"Is she the reason?"

"Of what?"

"The reason why you won't marry me? Rapahael? This pathetic, cheap girl? Seriously, hindi ka manlang pumili ng ka level ko? " Naiiling nitong sabi habang minamata si Noene. I was about to speak when Noene steps forward.

"Yes, I am the reason why Raphael won't be marrying you. Pathetic? Cheap? Girl may I remind you I am not a mirror. If I look cheap and low class to you aba eh magising ka. I am not the one dressing like a slut and acting like an uneducated b*tch sis." Saad ni Noene, I was stunned hindi ko alam na ganito ito katapang. " And another thing, maawa ka naman kay Raphael kung maghahanap pa sya ng ka level mo." Pagpapatuloy nya saka tinitigan mula ulo hanggang paa si Khristine bago bumalik sa tabi ko at yumakap sa akin na tinugunan ko naman.

" I hope we did answer your question Khristine, Is there anything else you want? If none, please leave, the door where you enter is widely open." I said, napaawang ang bibig nitong nakatitig sa akin papunta kay Noene saka padabog na namartsa paalis.

Nilingon ko si Noene. "Where are we again? Ah! I was about to ... " I said teasingly looking at her lips ng bigla ako nitong inirapan.

" So yun pala ang ex mo... ang ganda nya bat di mo nalang balikan yun." Nakatungo nitong sabi... pinamimigay nya ba ako?

"Hey..." pagsuyo ko rito

" What? She was right.. I'm cheap and don't even stoop on her level. She's.. much worth it" My eyes darken, binuhat ko siya at iniupo sa may kitchen island. I lifted her chin so she could face me. I kissed her forehead and smiled.

" I am yours sweetpea..."

Noene's POV

Pagkatapos naming kumain ni Raphael ay nagtulungan kami sa paghuhugas ng mga Plato at kaldero.

Ngayon naman ay nakahiga na ako... at sya.. nakahiga sa dibdib ko. Tulog na tulog ito at nakayakap sa akin. Bahagya akong napasimangot, ako pa ang ginawang unan neto. Ni hindi manlang ako tinanong kung gusto kobang katabi sya. Aba ay dire diretso ito sa paghila sa akin sa higaan ng matapos kaming magligpit. Kakaiba din, as if naman ay hindi ko gusto na katabi ito.. anang ko sa aking isip na nagpabalik sa aking ngiti.

Tinitigan ko lamang ito ay sinuklay suklay ang buhok.

"Sweet Dreams boo.." I said and kissed his head. With that I fell asleep...

****

I woke up as the sun damps on my skin. I slowly opened my eyes and noticed that Raphael's not on my side, a pillow was there instead.

Isang note sa may lamesa ang nakita ko. I sat down on the bed and reached for it.

" Goodmorning sweetpea! Here's my card: go have your hair and nails done on the salon, its address written at the back. Your dress is on the couch Gorgeous. I'll be back by 6:00 pm to pick you up! mawmawps <333

Eat breakfast too, I cooked ;) .. and SMILE :))

Your boo <3 "

THIRD PERSON'S POV

"Bwisit na babae na yun, asungot nya sa amin ni Raphael!" Anang Khristine habang nag da drive pauwi matapos itong mapalayas sa condo ni Raphael.

"Kailangan ko silang mapaghiwalay. It is me who must win in the end. Raphael is mine." Saad nito sa sarili at pumarke saglit sa tabi saka kinuha ang cellphone.

*Call dials

" Check the background of that girl I sent you, find all possible information you could find. Especially ones that will tell me her relations with the Veranzas'." saad nito sa kausap sa telepono kasabay ng mala demonyong ngiti sa mga labi nito.

" Raphael was originally mine and he will always be mine. Whoever tries to take him away from me will live her life in hell."
