The EX Effect [Fin]

Twenty two

Pagkabalik na pagkabalik ni Colyn sa botique niya ay agad siyang nagkulong sa office niya. Ginugulo parin siya ng kanilang pag-uusap ni Caira. Bakit hindi nalang siya nakapagsalita agad? Bakit tumakbo naman kasi siya palayo? Feeling niya tuloy napakaduwag niya.

Hindi siya lumalabas ng office niya maghapon. Nakatutok lang siya sa computer niya, minsan naman tulala lang siya sa labas ng bintana niya. Hindi niya namalayan na pasado alas tres na pala ng hapon. Ni hindi pa siya nagla-lunch.. ilang sandali lang ay may kumatok.

"Pasok."

Bumungad sakanya yung manager ng branch niya.

"Ma'am, may naghahanap po sainyo sa baba."

"Sino daw?"

"Si Sir Jeremie po."

Kumunot ang noo niya sa kung sino ang naghahanap sakanya kuno,it's funny how the person she and Caira were talking about is actually looking for her.

"Paakyatin mo dito."

Tumango naman ang manager niya at lumabas na. Nanatili siyang nagta-type sa computer niya nang kumatok si Jeremie at bigla nalang pumasok. The man will never learn to wait. She thought.

Umupo ito sa visitor's chair niya sa harap ng desk niya. She didn't mind to look at him, hindi dahil busy siya sa pagta-type kundi dahil hindi naman niya alam ang sasabihin. God! why does she feel like she's a teenager again?

"Ehem." he faint a cough.

Nakataas ang kilay niya nang tignan ito. She tried not to be shock of his now rugged look. Actually, he look way more hot in his rugged look. Stubbles in his chin, messy hair and just a black shirt and faded jeans really looks good on him. And okay! She really needs to stop praising him in her mind. She also faint a cough and looked at him again.

"What brings you here, Je?" tanong niya.

"Wala lang, I was wondering kung pwede ka ba ngayon lumabas?"

Suddenly, her heart started pounding hard. Bakit ba ang lakas ng tama niya dito sa lalaking ito? And what the heck is she saying to herself?!

Get a hold of yourself,Colyn!

"I'm busy." she answered.

"Sabi ng manager mo, wala naman daw kayo masyadong ginagawa since tapos na ang preparations niyo for fashion week.."

Remind her that she's gonna kill her manager.

"Sino ba ang may-ari? Siya o ako?"

"Ikaw."

"Alam mo naman pala eh, since parehas naman tayong may kanya-kanyang negosyo, I'm sure alam mo na hindi madali magpatakbo ng business."

"Alam ko, pero bakit ako? I always have time to see you?" he leaned against the desk and pumangalumbaba roon.

Oh how does this man have to be so cute?

At ayun nanaman ang go signal para magrigodon ang kanyang puso. Ano ba naman 'tong si Jeremie? Bakit bigla-bigla nalang bumabanat ng ganun?

"Pwede ba Jeremie, I have no time for your jokes!" she looked down at her computer para matakpan ang pula ng pisngi niya. And yes! She's blushing, she can feel it.
