"What color do you like?" Tamara asked as she grabbed her iPad and let out some paper on how my room shall be designed.

I looked at some samples in the internet and I must say its kind of confusing. Ang ganda kasi ng kakadesign ng mga interior nila kaso pagpumili naman ako ng color na gusto ko, I have to think out of the box. I must imagine how it would look like kung ang color na pipiliin ko ay nababagay sa room ko.

"Mae, are you sure you're going to change your room?" Tanong sa'kin ni Sam na katabi naman ni Simon na naglalaro lang sa iPhone niya. I gave Sam a look and told him that I'm sure.

"Here. It'll be easier if you use this. Pick a color and it'll automatically change the color of the room." Tamara said as she passed her iPad to me.

I picked first the black and white and I oh so loved it! I smiled and showed the design which she also liked. Napatingin naman si Simon sa design and gave me a shocked look in his face.

"Bakit?" I asked with one eyebrow raised.

"Black and White? Eh di ba, you hated those colors since we were kids?" Tanong niya.

Oo nga naman. I hated those colors dahil sa sobrang obsessed ko sa color pink but people change. When I got in States, ang color ng apartment ko ay black and white. Nung una, hindi ako makatulog and I couldn't even stand the color at plano ko sanang pinturahan yun kaso nagbago ang isip ko at hinayaan na lang and as time passed, I learned to love it.

"Well you have to believe me that it's my new favorite colors for the past 3 years." I answered as I gave them a sweet smile.

I talked with Tamara about the matter and I was very glad when she said that she will call their team right away and it shall be done in two days. Pagkatapos ng appointment ko ay naisipan ko munang magshopping. Sobrang boring dun sa bahay so I shall buy new clothes to add in my closet. Nagpahintay lang ako sa driver dun sa parking lot habang kasama ko naman ang dalawang bodyguards ko. Yes, I have bodyguards everytime I come here in the Philippines dahil sabi ni dad, delikado na daw dito because of snatchers and bad people kaya I accpeted his offer without any hesitations.

Habang naglalakad ako ay nasa likod ko lang ang bodyguards ko in each side. Peop!e can't stop staring at me dahil sa sobrang ganda ko and don't forget that I have bodyguards na naka tuxedo and shades kaya talagang mapapatingin sila.

Pumasok kami sa Forever21 at dun ako namili ng mga damit at shoes ko. Ilang minuto ang lumipas nang may lumapit sa'kin na babae. She's holding a camera with her golden sling bag on her right shoulder. She approached me with a smile on her face.

"Do you need anything?" Tanong ko sa kanya with a normal tone. Syempre ayokong magtaray dahil baka masira ang image ko.

"Can I tak---" hindi niya naitapos ang kanyang sinabi dahil sa hinarangan siyang lumapit ng mga bodyguards ko sa'kin. I forced self not to laugh and tapped my bodyguards' shoulder kaya naman ay tumabi sila.

"Sorry about that. You know how bodyguards act when someones going near their boss right? So anyways, what were you saying?" Tanong ko with a bitchy tone.

"Can I take a picture of you? As you can see," inilabas niya ang ID niya. Natalie Sy.

"I'm a fashion blogger and I find your style so fabulous!" Sabi niya. At dahil sa mukha naman siyang tao wearing her converse, shorts and crop top with a fierce make-up, inaya ko siya sa Coffee Bean at dun na lang kami nag-usap.

"Thank you talaga sa pagpayag sa'kin na mainterview ka and without further adue, let's start our interview." Sabi niya sakin with a laptop infront of us. As you can see, she's recording our interview and ask me some questions which I will confidently answer.

"Hello everyone! I'm Gabriel and I have found another victim for my fashion blog interview, Search for a Queen! Kasalukuyan kaming nasa Coffee Bean located in SM Cebu City where you can sit and dine fabulously just like this Queen here beside me!"

Ngumiti naman ako at nagwave sa camera. This fashion blogger is very honest. Talagang ipinapahayag na isa akong Queen which made me want her to be my friend.

"So, kindly introduce yourself." I faced at the camera and waved.

"Hey there pretty girls! I'm Catherine Mae Perez and I'm a Queen bitch with class." Proud na proud kong sabi na ikinamangha naman ng fashion blogger.

We spent a lot of time in the cafè because of the different questions she asked me. Pagkatapos namin sa interview ay nagkaroon naman kami ng ilang conversations about her blog. Sa sobrang gaan ng loob namin sa isa't-isa, inalok ko siyang kumain sa bahay namin and I was happy when she decided to go with me.

"So anyways, taga sa'n ka ba Nat?" I asked.

"I'm actually from Korea at dahil fashion blogger ako, I decided to explore some places where I'll find different types of fashion sense and kasalukuyan lang akong nakastay-in sa hotel."

"You can stay in our house since we're friends na!" Agad naman siyang napatingin sa'kin with a shocked expression on her face.

"Oh my God! Hulog ka talaga ng langit Catherine! Thank you!" She said as she hugged me tight. I smiled and told her that it isn't really a big deal.

Nang makarating kami sa bahay ay sinalubong kami ni mommy with a smile. Talagang elegant gumalaw si mommy even though she's tired on her works in the company. Nagkaroon naman kami ng simpleng kasiyahan because of Natalie nang naisipan kong samahan siya sa hotel na tinutuluyan niya to grab her things.

Nang bumaba kami sa kotse ay medyo naging pamilyar sa'kin ang hotel and it really is the hotel that I used to visit during my relationship with Rexiel. Sinamahan ko si Natalie papunta sa room niya nang bigla kaming nakarinig ng ungol sa kabilang kwarto. Natalie looked at me with a shocked face while I gave her a bored look. Sanay na akong makarinig ng ganito sa States sa kabila ng apartment ko.

"Oh! Rexiel! Oh yes! Harder baby!"

I was shocked to hear Rexiel's name on the girls moan. I looked at Natalie and told her to open her room nang makaalis na kami. Mabuti na lang at sound proof ang piniling kwarto ni Nat kaya naging madali sa amin ang pag-impake without any distraction.

"Pasensya ka na Catherine ha? Talagang ganyan pag gabi na sa kabilang kwarto eh. Inireklamo ko nga yan these past few weeks eh kaso nalaman kong may-ari pala ng hotel ang lalake kaya ayun, I wasn't able to do anything about that matter."

Agad akong napangiti sa sinabi niya. Siya na pala ang may-ari sa hotel na to. Umaasenso na ata siya. Pa'no nalang pag maagaw ko ang hotel na to sa kanya? Haha ang bitter masyado pero duh! That was a joke! Haha!

Nang makalabas kami sa kwarto and we were about to step in the elevator nang may narinig na naman kaming ungol but this time, nakita na namin sila. Hindi na nahiya ang mga germs. Nagmake love ba naman sa labas ng kwarto. Mag-aayos na sana si girl nang hinila ni Rexiel at kinulong sa bisig niya at hinalikan na naman sa leeg while his right hand was on the girls chest, exploring and his left hand inside on the girls skirt making pleasure.

"Oh my God!" Nat exclaimed pero I just recorded a video of them making love. Nang nakita kami ni Rexiel ay agad siyang tumakbo patungo sa'min. Hindi naman niya ako nakilala dahil may mask ang sa may bibig ko kanina pa before Nat and I left our house kasi masyadong polluted ang Pilipinas.

Agad ko namang hinila si Nat na nakatulala lang sa'kin papasok sa elevator and pushed the Ground floor button. I smirked as the elevator closes and how nervous Rexiel was. At dahil nakaglass ang elevator, nakita ko siya kung paano ka putla dahil sa nangyari. I winked and waved my hand as the elevator goes down.

"Ba't nirecord mo ang love scene ng dalawa?" Di makapaniwalang tanong ni Natalie nang nakarating na kami sa bahay at kasalukuyan naman kaming nasa guest room which Natalie will be staying at.

"Might as well use it against him? Haha!" I laughed as I watched the video. Napatingin naman ako kay Natalie which confusion was all over her. I sat down the swivel chair and crossed my legs and sat fabulously.

"Do you want to hear a story?" I asked her as she started to listen to every detail of my life.
