MR. COFFEE AND I (completed) CURRENTLY EDITING

CHAPTER TWENTY THREE: Four is a Crowd

"Hi, gorgeous!" Bungad nito sa akin pag-upo ko sa tabi nya.

"Oh stop! Yan tuloy oh! Nagblush na naman ako."

"Everytime you blush like that, lalo akong naiinlove sayo. I remember when the first time I saw you blush, my heart skipped a beat."

"Sa coffee shop?"

"Nope. Sa picture mo, last year ata yun. Company event ulit. I was looking at them before I sleep, tapos narealize ko you were blushing at something I assume Sheryll told you, sya kasi yung kasama mo sa dalawang magkasunod na pictures. Ang im guessing seconds lang ang pagitan kasi from the first picture, normal naman color ng cheek mo. Tapos the second one, para kang nagblush on bigla but your pose was almost the same. After I saw that, I promised myself I will try all my best to keep you blushing."

(Actually, hindi ko na matandaan yung pictures na sinasabi nya.)

The realization that he was indeed stalking me through facebook, twitter, even through his Dad still amazes me.

"Why?"

Kumunot ang noo ni Mr. Coffee sa tanong ko.

"Why were you looking at my picture before you sleep?"

"I told you! Mahal na nga kita nuon pa. Kaya kahit anong pagod ko or how late it was, I always look at your pictures before I go to sleep."

I couldnt help it. I kissed him in the lips. Smack lang naman. Sobra kasi syang magpakilig eh.

"Order tayo ng kape?" Tanong ko sa kanya.

"Do you mind if we discuss about our client meeting mamya? Or would it ruin our date?"

"Now, youre just teasing me! Gosh! Perfect way to end a perfect date!" And I gave him a big smile I can muster.

Nang dumating ang order naming kape, game on mode na kami ni Mr. Coffee. Binabasa nito sa akin ang contract na papipirmahan namin today.

"We really need to make our client sign today or we might lose momentum with him and he wont sign at all," Paliwanag nito sa akin.

2:30pm, we were both settled waiting for the client on our agreed meeting place. We decided to meet at the restaurant/bar at the hotel where our client is staying.

Diba ang bongga! Sa five star hotel lang naman sya nakatira.

Pareho kaming nagkakape (ulit!) habang naghihintay sa client ng may biglang dalawang kamay na tumakip sa mata ni Mr. Coffee. Nasa harapan ko lang sila kaya kitang-kita ko kung paano dinikit ng maharot... Este ng babaeng ito ang malulusog nyang hinaharap sa batok ni Mr. Coffee.

"Guess who?" Malambing na turan ng babae na obviously iniignore ako.

One, two, three.....

Nagbilang ako ng sampu sa utak ko habang hinihigop ang kape ko, pinapanood lang na marahang pagtanggal ni Mr. Coffee sa kamay ni Cindy sa mga mata nito. Casually, tumayo si Mr. Coffee at bumeso sa bagong dating.

Sige lang. Oo nga, sige lang. Four, five, six, seven....

"Hey, Cindy! Seriously, you dont need to be here."
