Ang Pangarap Kong Love Life

Chapter 46: Honest Feelings

Uriel's POV

JACKIE Liu is definitely not my type.

I want someone who's health conscious like me. Someone na makakasabay ko mag-gym or brisk walking and make diet food plans. Someone who's intelligent that we can talk about anything, plus points if he/she is knowledgeable about business. Of course, I also want someone attractive. The person whom I can't take my eyes off.

Jackie on the other hand, is very different. I'm not saying she's not pretty. I can say she's average. Not striking. Tipong hindi ka mapapa-second look. She doesn't care about her health. Hindi siya nagg-gym. Ang dami rin ng kanin niya everytime we'll eat. Maybe around three cups of rice? That's not healthy! She also loves to eat chips and sweets. Siya ang laging nakakaubos ng stocks ng chichirya na inuuwi ko from the company. The different chocolates in the ref? She can eat those in a day! Grabe. She has no self-control when it comes to food.

I also can't talk to her about business. What she knows are the chismis in the company or in showbiz. Ano namang gagawin ko r'on? Can I share those during the board meeting? Nah!

Kahit na she's not my ideal type, I still gave her an offer that she cannot resist. A fake relationship in exchange of a condo worth millions -- who wouldn't accept that? The motive? I want her closer to me. I want to make sure she'll not make rumors about me liking Brent. I want her under my surveillance. Sabi nga nila keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Yes, I first considered her as an enemy.

I'm a lone wolf. I'm used to being alone and quiet. Everything changed since we lived under the same roof. At first I'm not used to it lalo na she's a bit loud. Ang dami niyang kwento, chismis as she calls it. Ang lakas niya rin tumawa. She also has a lot of questions na minsan sunod-sunod pa. As time passed, nasanay na rin ako. Parang kulang na nga ang araw ko kapag 'di ko naririnig ang boses niya.

One thing I can't stand is how close Jackie and Brent is. The moment I introduced him to Jackie, I felt they instantly clicked. They have the same vibes and humor. Though lagi silang nag-aaway and nagsasagutan, deep down I know they're really close. That is the closeness I want to have with Brent pero I can't imagine myself doing their humor. I tried but it's cringy!

I rarely get jealous but everytime Brent will touch Jackie or even hug her I have to calm myself. How dare she let him touch her? Umiinit talaga ulo ko kapag ganyan ang scenario nila. Good thing I can still keep my cool.

I'm driving to the office when I remembered to check on Jackie. I called Seb and said they're on their way to the resort.

Back to my train of thoughts, as days and weeks passed, nakita ko kung ga'no kaganda ang personality ni Jackie. She's a genuine person. I always chuckle whenever I remember that time na sinapak niya si Angelo during Tito Manuel's welcome party. She's so courageous! No one can do what she did that time. That's truly remarkable.

Another remarkable feat of Jackie is how she cooks our food. I think delicious is an understatement to describe how good she is in cooking. Kaya nga I also enrolled in a cooking class para I can also cook for her. I also tried baking kasi she loves sweets. Good thing nagustuhan niya 'yong mga cakes na dala ko recently. Ang gaan sa feeling everytime her face will light up kasi masarap ang gawa ko. I can proudly say I am the one who made it.

Ah, I also love how she accepted me for who I am. She didn't judge me when she knew that I'm a bisexual. That really warmed my heart. As someone na closeted ang sexuality, it's a big relief to know that someone accepts you. 'Yon din ang reason kung bakit I don't consider her as an enemy anymore.

After that, a weird thing happened. Kapag nakikita ko si Jackie laging nagpi-play sa isip ko ang Beautiful Soul ni Jesse McCartney.
