Samantha's Marriage Proposal ★

One

Chapter One

"Ang sama mo." tawa pa rin ako ng tawa kahit nakasimangot na si Tiffany.

"Eh totoo naman kasi! Yuck Tiffany, pumayag kang makipagdate don? disgusting!" tumawa ulit ako ng malakas.

naiinis na binato nya ko ng pillow na sinalo ko agad. nasa fortalejo towers kami. Kinuha ko ang isang shot ng tequila at nilagok agad yon. I licked the salt on my hand and finished it with a lemon.

Damn, that's hot.

"Tumigil ka na nga Sammy! bwisit ka!" nang gigigil na sabi nya. napahagalpak tuloy ako ng tawa.

She's so annoyed with her grandfather that anything i would say about Santander would pissed her even more.

"Carlos Santander is not my type okay? Ipinilit lang ni Lolo. Wala na nga mapaglagyan ng pimples sa sobrang dami ng crates nya sa mukha eh. Sobrang hambog pa. As if he got the looks to be like that" iritadong dagdag nya.

I laughed again and pour myself another shot.

"Eh ikaw? Kamusta si Suzanne?" Nananantyang tanong nya.

I shot her a bored look and rested my back on the lounge chair.

She's treading on a dangerous territory.

I sighed and look around.

Nasa poolside lounge kami ng VIP suites ng Fortalejo Towers. This floor is dedicated for us, Me, Anton, Andrea, Alexis and Tiff. Ang owner ng Tower na to ay ang pamilya ni Venice she's living on the Penthouse. Just a floor above us.

rays of the afternoon sun hits my face just fine. I took time to appreciate the view from our floor.

Overlooking ng Manila Bay ang poolside. Giving it an eternal view of water. All our suites has an access to this majestic view. Especially when it's this time of the day. when the sun is going down.

"having the time of her life." I played with the tequila in my glass. Just enough to not let it spill

"Do you still -"

I shot her a piercing look.

"Tiffany" i warned.

Binaba nya ang tingin nya saka binaling sa baso.

iritadong inubos ko yung laman ng baso bago tumalon sa swimming pool.

di ko na nakitang umiling si Tiffany.

ipinilig ko yung ulo ko sa ilalim ng tubig saka galit na lumangoy pailalim pa.

I am Samantha. No one's gonna make me do something i don't want.

Samantha Allison Del Rosario. The blacksheep of the family.

If i could only take a bow everytime i hear this and say.

Happy to be of service

Being the Youngest child of Senator Severino Del Rosario and Almira Del Rosario comes with a price to pay that i paid dearly.

I don't even know what i paid for.

And still paying for.

That thought left a bitter taste in my soul.

I made my way up and gasped air like a new born child.

I've been living with my friends since i started college and now i'm having my Masters Degree.

It's been a very very long time.

That was both refreshing and depressing

"Hoy!" nawala yung pag iisip ko nung nagsnap si Tiff sa mukha ko.
