Love You Like Crazy

-Seven-

EZEKIEL

   ABALA ako sa pagtype sa loptop ko ng biglang bumukas ang pinto ng opisina ko.

   "Hi, honey!" Biglang pumasok si Cassie.

   Natigil ako sa ginagawa ko. "Cassie? What are you doing here?" Gulat na tanong ko. This is an unexpected visit.

   "Why? You don't want me to be here?" She pouts her lips like a kid.

   I chuckled. "I'm just surprise that you're here." Sinarado ko ang loptop ko. Tumayo ako at sinalubong siya ng yakap. She kiss me on my cheeks but that means nothing to me. It's just a greeting kiss.

   "I see that you are busy." She said while her arms are on my waist and her chin is resting on my chest while looking at me.

   "Why? May kailangan ka ba?" I asked her. "Don't you have any work? No photoshoot?"

   Nagtatrabaho kasi si Cassie bilang isang sikat na model at fashion designer. She has her own botique na siya mismo ang nagpapatakbo. Of course sponsor by her parents, unica hija eh kaya lahat ng gusto niya nasusunod.

   "Rest day ko today. Zeke..." Paglalambing niya.

   "Hmmm?" Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay. Kapag ganito siya maglambing, alam kong may kailangan siya.

   "Pwede mo ba akong samahan?" She asked with a puppy eyes.

   I sigh and shook my head. I knew it. "Matitiis ba kita? Okay, we'll go shopping."

   "Thank you!" She kiss me on my cheeks. "Pagamit ng restroom ha? Magre-retouch lang ako." Kumalas siya sa  pagkakayakap sakin at nagpunta sa restroom dito sa opisina ko. Niligpit ko naman ang mga gamit ko ng biglang may nahulog mula sa sahig. Kinuha ko yun. Napangiti ako ng makita ko ang litrato niyang nakangiti. Damn, she really looks so beautiful when she smiles. This picture was given to me by my private investigator.

   Yeah, I'm acting like a stalker here but I don't care. I want to know more about her.

   I put her smiling picture in my pocket. Narinig ko naman ang pagbukas ng pinto ng restroom at lumabas si Cassie. "Let's go?" Yaya niya.

   I smile at her and nod my head. Pinulupot niya ang mga kamay niya sa braso ko at lumabas kami ng opisina.

   Lumabas kami ng building. Pagkalabas namin ng building nakita ko agad ang coffee shop kung saan siya nagta-trabaho. Parang gusto ko tuloy siyang makita. She got mad at me this morning and I want to apologize to her.

   "Honey?" Agaw ni Cassie sa atensyon ko.

   I looked at her. "Do you want to eat there?" Sabay turo sa coffee shop.

   Tiningnan niya kung saan ako nakaturo. "You want us to eat there? Safe ba ang foods don?"

   "I already tried eating there twice. And I must say that the foods there a re delicious and safe. What do you say? Care for a coffee before shopping?"

   "If you say so, then let's go."

   Pumasok kaming dalawa sa coffee shop. Pumwesto kami malapit sa glass door. I pukked a chair for her saka naman ako umupo sa tapat niya. "This place is so cute." Narinig kong sabi ni Cassie. I smiled at her.

   May lumapit na waitress at binigay samin ang menu. Oh, its Hazel. I still remember her. Siya yung pinagbigyan ko ng calling card ko para ibigay kay Shane.

   I smile at her and she smile at me as well. Para naman siyang kinilig. Tatanungin ko sana siya kung nasan si Shane nang biglang nagsalita si Cassie.
