A violent wave of emotional disturbance bothered me as soon as he spouted those whimsical words. Why didn't I realized sooner that he only wants to tease me?
I was close to falling unto his trap. That should've made me look foolish and stupid.
His eyes were twinkling with amusement as I turned stiff sitting on the couch while his hands were caressing my now flushed face.
Correction. My face turned red because of anger and embarassment!
Yes. I admit. . . Nakaramdam ako ng kakaibang init mula sa aking katawan. Mabuti na lamang at nahimasmasan ako bago pa matupok ng apoy na iyon ang aking sarili.
I shouldn't surrender to this heat.
Bago pa umabot kung saan ang kamay niyang iyon ay minabuti kong tampalin iyon papalayo sa akin.
Gulat ang nakapaskil sa mga mata nito ngayon. Ngunit hindi ako nagpatinag. . . I am now looking at his black orbs with intensity that would surely reach his soul.
"Service? I think you're probably mistaken, Mister. I'm not a cheapskate who would just call anyone for that." I stated using my bith tone.
Eat that Midas! You dumbass!
He took a step back to keep a space between us. The smirk on his face is now gone but his gaze remained the same.
Too dark.
Too mystique.
Too intense.
As if I were a priceless master piece.
"W-what are you looking at?!" Mataray kong bwelta.
Hindi ko na kayang tumagal sa mga titig nito.
Natatakot ako.
Natatakot na baka mamaya ay mabuwal ako mula sa aking kinatatayuan.
He has that kind of gaze.
"I know. . Anyway just call me whenever you need help, Lady."
After that. . . He just left as if nothing happened.
Ngunit may napansin akong emosyon na dumaan sa kanyang mga mata bago ito tuluyang mawala sa paningin ko.
He looks confused.
Was I just hallucinating?

"BITCH. You were totally useless these past few days! Mangyaring lisarin mo ngayon din ang aking opisina dahil nagkakalat ka ng bad vibes!" Cara bitched out.
She's damn right. Nitong mga nagdaang araw ay lagi akong wala sa sarili. Nung nakaraan sa isang appointment ko I wore a six inches valentino stiletto on my right while a three inches prada on my left foot. That was really so emabarassing.
Kaya pala umiika-ika akong umakyat ng building.
This is so not me.
Hindi naman ako apektado dahil hindi ko pa nakikita si Midas since that incident!
I'm not affected! Not at all!
Kahit halos magiisang linggo ko na siyang hindi nakikita ni anino nito wala . . . Tsk. I don't fucking care.
"Miss mo na noh?"
Duh. Yun mamimiss ko? Do i look like a teenage girl?
"Yes you do. In denial mode ka lang gaga!"
I said i wasn't concern at all! Wa-i-t.
"Did I just unknowingly voice out my thoughts?" Pagtatakaang tanong ko sabay tingin sa ngayo'y tawang-tawang si Cara.
"Kung nakikita mo lang ang sarili mo sa salamin ngayon! Pfft. Congrats girl! Nagdadalaga ka ulit!" Dagdag panunuya pa ng bruha.
I just rolled my eyes on her. Crap. She must be enjoying this.
Ano ba kasing nangyari sa lalaking iyon at MIA siya? He's nowhere to be found.
Eww. Did I just admit that I was looking for him?
Before it gets worst I've gotta clear my head first.
Niligpit ko ang aking sketchpad na nagkalat sa drafting table at isinilid ito ng maayos sa aking satchel. I better find a peaceful place.
"I don't know the whole details but from the looks of it. . . You, Rio Dela Merced is probably in love with someone." I heard Cara said before I completely stormed out of her office.
Love.
Love.
Love.
Love.
"WHAT THE FUCKING SHIT IS THAT CARA?!" I unconciously shouted.
Not minding the scrutinizing stares of those people in the lobby.
Me? In love? With who?
That bastard? That m-Mid-as?!
No way.
Bullshit.
What was Cara thinking?
Nababaliw na yata siya.
I was about to pushed the revolving door nang biglang narinig kong tinawag ang aking pangalan.
That voice was from the receptionist.
She hurriedly run towards me while holding a giant white bear along with her.
"Miss Dela Merced! May nagdeliver po pala nitong stuffed toy nato kanina. Naka address po sa inyo." She quickly said and hand over the white bear to me.
Nagulat naman ako nang malaman kong para sa akin pala iyon.
The bear looks so cute. Kasing laki ko na ata ito?
It's so mushy!
I uttered a simple thanks at tuluyan ng tumungo sa parking lot habang hawak
ang stuffed toy.
I was about to place the bear at the backseat ngunit biglang may nahulog na puting papel mula sa hawak ko.
I picked up the paper and read its content.
The eyes could tell,
What the mouth could not,
I was casted under your spell,
That made me forgot,
To say, for you, I fell,
Is this my redemption? Or not?
-MR
After reading the letter. . . A tear fell from my eye.
This MR again.
Poetry doesn't have to be so grammatically correct. As long as you expressed your feeling and passion clearly .. . its enough.
Does this mean. . . Mr...? Has feelings for me?
But who the heck is MR? Did he forgot to write his name again?
M. R .
Midas Ramos?
