Little Miss Player-Chapter 10 (Flash Back)

Finally, after reading Divergent  *evil grin* I am so back.

Okay, yung chapter na ‘to sa past ulit, pero this time kakaiba at medyo may gulat factor. Kaya naman di ko na ikakaila na nandito yung hint (hint lang, hint) tungkol dun sa nangyari sa past. Again konting hint lang po siya. :)

Chapter 10

College Year, Growler’s Residence

“Bakit hindi mo sinabi?” Ang medyo inis kong tanung nang makadating kami sa bahay nila Wes.

“Does it matter? Bakit hindi ka ba sanay sa ganito? You’re from the Lee family. Mas prestihiyoso pa nga ang clan niyo diba?”

“Oh shut up,” I said at binump ko yung fist ko sa shoulder niya. “At kahit na! Sana man lang napaghandaan ko yung kaba mamaya knowing na I am to face going to face the terror CEO of G&H Company.”

Man I should have known! Wesley was still chuckling nang mag-arrive na yung sinasakyan naming luxury car sa may foyer ng mansion nila. At to clear it all, yung G&H company lang naman po ang isa sa most influential company sa bansa na nag-houhouse ng cruise ships and the like.

“Hey, that’s my father you’re talking about,”

“I know. Hindi ba totoo? Di ba sobrang horrifying daw makaharap dad mo? But to think of it, a lot of people don’t know he was a former basketball player,”

“Yeah. Maraming hindi alam ang madla kay papa. Kaya relax ka lang diyan. He’s not literally sadistic or anything. Don’t be so nervous Angela. Para namang wala kang maipagmamalaki in front of my parents”

True, I have all the things to brag about. But still. I should’ve prepared myself for this. Yung scene na ipapakilala ako sa parents, first time kaya ‘to.

“Hindi lang sana wine ang gift ko if I had know,” I murmured.

Wesley cupped his hand on my waist at naglakad na kami papuntang loob ng bahay nila. Ako frustrated pa rin, habang siya naman ngiti lang ng ngiti.

“But not just a cheap wine. Come on Angela. Hindi naman materialistic sina mama at papa.”

“I’ll never forgive you pag napahiya ako,”

At that, nagstop siya sa lakad niya tapos nag- puppy dog eyes sa harap ko.

“Ugh! Don’t give me that expression,” nilapitan ko siya and then pininch yung nose niya.

Sweet isn’t it? We were way sweeter whenever the two of us are alone. ;)

“You can still rehearse you’re line babe.,” sabi ni Wesley, “The dinner’s not within the hour or the next. Mga around 7 pm pa naman,”

I glance at my watch, it’s 4:30 pm. We went here early ‘coz supposedly i-toutour niya ako sa place nila. Kaya pala malaki time difference dahil sobrang lawak.

“Nasa meeting pa kasi si mama. Wala pa rin si kuya. Si papa naman nandito na but I’m sure you don’t want to meet him just yet.”

I tap his chest, “Right. You still owe me a tour around your palace Prince Wesley.” I laughed real hard after I said that. Kasi naman Wes gave me this what-the-hell-are-you-talking-about glare niya. And it’s cute.

Nilibot niya ako around the place na sobra talagang ganda. Kahit na I lived in a place as huge my whole life, I guess iba yung ambiance habang kasama ko siyang naglilibot.

Pumunta kami sa may garden nila—the one place that truly, truly took my breath away. It’s not just because it’s big and roomy, but it made awestruck kasi sobrang ganda talaga nung landscaping. Parang nagnanature tripping ako. Sa may right side, may replica ng small waterfalls na parang totoo. Nagsparkle yung water dun everytime matatamaan ng medyo orange na na rays ng sunlight. Just imagine kung gano kaganda dito pag gabi. May mga nakasabit na ilaw sa taas. I’m sure mas breath-taking pa ‘to at dusk. Kung saan naman umaagos yung narrow water from the falls, may nakatayong replica din ng bridge. Bent upward siya, usual for such scene. Everywhere, may different bushes and flowers na ayon na ayon dun sa theme.
