Secret Seduction | [R-18]

Chapter Eleven

   
"My girlfriend."

Literal na tumigil yung mundo ko nang ilang segundo sa gulat. Kinailangan pang hawakan ni Justin yung balikat ko para magising yung diwa ko. I quickly ordered my hand to him, "Good evening po."

 
"Good evening, I'm Percival Cortez." he smiled and shook my hand. I was a little bit confused because Percival didn't sound like a spanish name like Cortez. But more importantly, I know where he got his second name. Justin Persiv...

  
"Good evening sir." bati noong lalaki na pinagkamalan ko'ng tatay ni Justin. "He's our butler." bulong ni Justin bago kami pumasok sa loob.

  
"Long time no see, sir Arman." bati ni Justin dun sa butler. Saying that word doesn't even feel right. Nginitian ko nalang rin siya at sinundan si Justin sa dining room.

   
Umakyat muna yung papa ni Justin habang nagluluto sila ng pagkain. Tinitignan ko yung buong bahay nila nang biglang may lumabas na dalawang babae at isang lalaki. They seemed younger than his dad but looked like professionals.

    
Biglang tumayo si Justin kaya napatayo na rin ako. Ngumisi siya at tumawa, "Long time ah!" sabi niya na parang tropa niya lang sila. Nakipag high five pa siya dun sa lalaki.

 
"This is my tito Kaarlo, with two A's because... I dont know, typo ata." sabi niya at napatawa rin yung lalaki habang nakipag beso saakin. "One of our company lawyers."

  
"This is her wife. She's very... spanish..." tumingin muna siya dun sa babae bago sabihin yung 'spanish'

  
"I'm Maricruz and I'm half Puerto Rican." tinignan muna niya si Justin bago ako hinalikan sa pisngi. Iba iba palang lahi dito sa pamilya nila, nakakapanibago. I've never heard of our family having foreign blood. Maybe because our grandparents died a long time ago.

  
"This is tita Ann, short for Antoinette, bunso sa kanilang magkakapatid." sabi niya at tinuro yung isa pang mga babae. Tinignan niya 'ko with judgement, "8 years lang ang tanda 'ko kay Justin pero mas nauna pa siyang magka girlfriend kesa saakin."

   
Medyo nag process pa sa utak ko yung sinabi niya pero na gets ko rin sa huli. "We should eat." sabi ni tito Kaarlo at pinaupo kami. We were waiting for his dad to come down habang nagkekwento.

   
Sila nalang pala yung nakatira dito since yung lolo nila sa Canada na nakatira. It was also brought to my attention that they had a little bit of French blood in them kaya ganon ang mga pangalan nila.

    
"Si kuya Victor naman, ayun, nalulunod na sa trabaho. He probably doesn't even know his child is missing." sabi ni tito Kaarlo at napailing. Natigilan naman ako at napansin ata nila 'yon. They talk the abduction of Sierra like it's a casual thing.

   
"Ginulat mo yung bata, she probably thinks we're crazy." sabi ni tita Ann. She's the kind of lady that would just straight up throw hands at you if she doesn't like you. Her dark lipstick and her hair up in a ponytail says it all.

    
"Nako hija, if you want to be in this family, masanay ka na. We eat death threats for breakfast everyday." casual na sabi ni tita Maricruz.

  
   
"Tell me about it." dagdag na sabi ni tita Ann. "I've been held hostage when I was 11, in exchange of atleast five million pesos. The youngest of the Cortez's." she shrugged off.

  
"What's this about?" biglang dating ng daddy ni Justin. As soon as he went down, the maids started to put dinner in our table.

   
"All of us had atleast an abduction experience except the eldest and the smartest, Percival." sabi ni tito Kaarlo at tinuro niya pa.
