Being a Mobster's Girlfriend

Syete

Monday came in so slow. You know I hate Mondays 'cause it's the start of the week. But I've never been this eager to start the week. I need to divert my attention to work. I need to focus on other things aside from him.

I sip another cup of fresh brewed coffee that I made. I don't feel like eating breakfast today. Or maybe I don't feel like eating at all.

Since Saturday night, where he stormed out my unit, he never texted me. He was no show. Hindi ko alam kung magugustuhan ko ba na wag siyang magparamdam o mas gusto yung lagi siyang nakikialam sa bawat kilos ko. Seriously when it comes to him, I never know what I want.

Kaide Gohara is like a tiny dot on my blank canvass- he ruins everything.. in both good and bad ways.

When I finished the cup, kinuha ko ang gamit at susi ko. I want to work.

Nang makarating ako sa parking lot, I was surprised to see no one leaning on my car. Maybe he fired my sumbungerong bodyguard 'cause he decided not to pay attention at me at all.

That's fine.. This is what I want right? Right?

Pinaandar ko na ang kotse at umalis na. But something was off..

I looked at my rearview mirror, I saw a black avalon car that was tailgating me. I tried to change lanes but it still followed me. Seriously anong meron?

Kaide..

Something twitched my heart. Could it be him? Or could it be one of his people? Was he ordering someone around to follow me? A smile formed on my lips.

"Good morning Loryn," I turned around to see my boss, Mr. Godillo, as he went out from his car.

Napalunok ako. I know what happened to us last Friday. And I should have been thinking of a reasonable reason on how he ended up being beaten by my gangster boyfriend. Pero sa mga nangyari sa amin ni Kaide, nawala sa isip ko si Mr. Godillo.

"You ready for work?" He asked as he went up to me. He showed me his beautiful smile.

Napalunok ako nang makita ko ang pasa at ilang cuts sa gilid ng labi ng boss ko. Okay. Right now, I don't have rights to show. Nang dahil sakin, nasira ang perpektong mukha niya.

"A-about what happened last Friday S-sir. I--"

"I take full responsibility to what happened, Loryn. Case closed." He cutted me off. Kumikinang ang kanyang green eyes.

"No Sir. It's my fault. I am very sorry Sir. I'm very sorry. I'll.. I'll make up to you S-sir."

He showed me his genuine smile that would kill every girl in the world. "Okay. You can treat me lunch later."

I nodded without thinking. And when I say 'without thinking', that means hindi ko man lang inisip kung saang lupalop ng mundo ko ba dapat siya i-treat ng lunch? Mr. Godillo is like a man who can't eat anything if it's not gold or silver. He is the man of bests. Best suit. Best cars. Best wines. Best shoes. Best of everything. And hell, hindi ko siya pwedeng dalhin kung saan-saan.

And one last thing. Hindi ko naisip si Kaide Gohara. My gangster boyfriend. Hindi ko naisip na baka baligtarin na niya ang mundo sa oras na malaman niyang kasama ko nanaman ang boss ko. But no. I am doing this to get back to what he did to Mr. Godillo. And my boss is kind enough to ask for a petty favor than to just fire my ass off. Yeah. I am doing the best I could do here.

A knock on the door cutted me off from my flooding thoughts. When I looked up to see who it is, I quickly glanced at my wristwatch. And my watch was shouting 12:25pm! It's lunch time!
