Laws in Love II: Spencer Ace

EPILOGUE 3

I breathed in deeply and reached for my phone that kept on ringing.

"Hello?" I groggily asked and remained on my bed.

"I'm outside, with your car."

My eyes instantly opened upon recognizing his voice. It was Gray.

"One minute." And I ended the call.

I wore my shirt and went out of my room. Nagtuloy-tuloy ako sa baba hanggang sa buksan ko ang gate namin.

My head is a little bit heavy and my muscles are aching. Napagod ako tuloy tuloy na biyahe dahil hindi na ako nagpahinga sa Maynila pagkarating ko dito sa Pilipinas.

Upon opening it, I saw two vehicles outside. The wrangler jeep that was surely driven by Grayson and the other one is probably his driver.

I singalled him to come in and pointed out the parking space. Nagtuloy siya sa loob at pinark ang sasakyan sa parking area ng bahay.

Lumabas siya ng tuluyan at agad akong napangisi. A smirk crept into his lips as well.

"What time did you arrive here?" Pauna nitong tanong.

"Ten." Malimit kong saad.

It's been years since I last saw him. But we remained friends and he is probably the closest friend that I got. Kaya sa kanya ko rin pinagkatiwala ang pagbili ng sasakyan ko dito. He is good at it.

We talked for a bit but since he is busy, umalis rin siya kalaunan.

I am all alone at home and I needed to find a helper. Kaya naman ako pa ang nagluto ng agahan ko pero nasanay na ako sa bigat ng trabaho sa U.S.

Patapos palang ako sa agahan ko ng tumunog ang cellphone ko. I looked at it and saw Exum's name on it.

"Hey! How was your flight?"

I drank the last of my coffee and answered him.

"It was fine." Tipid kong sagot.

I heard him chuckle. "Do you want some work?"

My brows raised at his question.

"No. Kararating ko lang. And I have other plan-"

"Exactly. May malaking problema mga tao nila ngayon. They need a lawyer. This is your chance!" He excitedly informed me.

I licked my lips and nodded my head slightly. The truth is, I am not here for work and I conditioned myself for that matter. I have more important things to do than to accept cases.

"Call. Give me the details."

But if it's the only way then...I have no choice. I have to take every opportunity that I have.

I have repeatedly imagined in my head what would be my first word to her. Hindi dapat ako maging agresibo, I should take things lightly and slowly, ayaw ko siyang biglain.

But I guessed I was just too pissed off...and too jealous with our first meeting.

Seeing her this comfortable with another man hit me differently this time. Kung noon ay nasanay na ako na may mga malalapit na talaga siya na kaibigang lalake, ngayon ay nag iiba na ang paningin ko.

She matured a lot. Gone is the playfulness in her eyes. She wasn't as expressive as before, she became a pro in masking her emotion. And I don't like it at all.

Hindi ako sanay.

I rather want her to hate me...to be angry. But not like this. The calmness in her eyes is making me more uneasy than ever. The way she moves casually while I remained watching her every movement like a hawk. It's like staring at a different person.
