"Aiden sweety?"
She frowned. There is no other girl here except her, is it? Then who the hell is the owner of that womanly voice at the kitchen?
Mabilis na bumangon siya saka isinuot ang white polo ni Aiden na naka sabit sa isa sa mga upuan. It smelled good and she love the feeling of his clothes on her skin.
Tahimik na lumabas siya ng kwarto at tinungo ang pinanggagalingan ng boses. And to her surprise, the owner of the voice is indeed a freaking girl!
"Who are you?"
The girl just looked at her curiously from head to toe. Obviously noting that she's wearing Aiden's white long sleeves.
The girl looks familiar. Nakita na niya ito noon sa opening ng hotel niya sa Tagaytay. She's with Aiden then. And she witnessed how her fiancè looked at this girl adoringly. Parang isang suntok sa sikmura ang naramdaman niya sa isiping iyon. Aiden Montaniez wouldn't look at any girl that way except if that girl is someone special to him.
One of her brow rose. "Name's Cece, darling. You?"
"The fiancè" She answered scathingly. Looking at her with the same intensity.
The girl looked surprised for a moment, "Didn't recognize it was you. Well, with that... er... look."
Hindi niya pinansin ang sinabi nito, "Are you a relative?" She asked. Hoping to hell she'll answer yes just so this nagging feeling in her guts would stop.
"No." The girl answered automatically. And she felt dread consume her just as fast.
"To call him sweety, you must be that." Nagtitimping tanong niya.
"No."
"Then who are you?" She asked rather rudely.
"I'm a close friend."
Close friend? Ha! Ipupusta niya ang buong kayamanan niya na ang isang Aiden Montaniez ay walang ka-close friend na babae na platonic lang ang relasyon dito. It is definitely friends with benefits base on his womanizing records. And since this girl has his password on his condo. And she calls him sweety for fucks sake! Isa lang ang ibig sabihin nito. They are still up on their relationship. Agh! What a fool she is to believe he has changed!
"Well tell your close friend that he could rot to hell together with his lies."
Iyon lang at lumabas na siya ng condo at nagmamadaling tinungo ang elevator. Tumigil ito sa susunod na floor, sa sobrang pre-occupied siya, ni hindi na niya namalayan ang pagpasok ng isang lalaki. Nakayuko lang siya at ng mapadako ang tingin niya sa paa niya ay napamura na lang siya ng malakas sa isip.
Shit! Stupid Dominica! How could you forget to wear your stupid shoes!
Samantala, naiwan naman si Cece sa kusina na nakatingin pa rin sa pinto.
"You done with the food?" Si Chase na hindi niya namanlayang nasa likod na pala niya ang nagsalita.
"Not yet.." sagot niya habang patuloy pa ring nakatingin sa may pinto.
Tinaasan siya nito ng kilay, "What happened to you?"
Wala sa sariling liningon niya ito. "Aiden's fiancè was here."
"Really? Where is she then?" Lumingon lingon ito sa paligid.
"Er... looked like I drove her away."
Mabilis na napatingin sa kanya si Chase and in a warning tone said, "What did you do?"
"I think... she mistook me as one of Aiden's.." She sighed before saying, "paramour."
"What?! And you didn't even corrected her?"
