~ Courtney’s POV ~

“Nakakainis that guy talaga!”  I said to myself in no one. Syempre, sino ba ang hindi maiinis sa preskong lalaking Campbell na iyon eh you see!? He wants me to prove myself to him that I’m capable of me being his girlfriend!? And isipin nyo na lang na 1 month lang yung hinihingi kong favor. Nakakainis talaga that Campbell guy na yun! Grr! Nakakagigil sya!

“What’s the matter, Hija?” Napalingon ako sa may likuran ko nang marinig ko si Tatay Pedro na may dalang strawberry juice. Nandito kasi ako ngayon sa may veranda ng mansion namin. Actually, butler ko si Tatay Pedro and while growing up, I grew a little attachment also sa kanya. Halos sya na nga nag-alaga sa akin for the past years.

“Ah, nothing Tatay Peds.” I answered back. Sometimes, kay Tatay Pedro ko sinasabi yung mga problema ko about this, about that and I’m glad Tatay Peds can cope up with my English speaking. “The truth is, Dad arranged my marriage with some random guys that I didn’t even meet in person and that makes me desperate to have a boyfriend in an instant.” I opened up to Tatay Peds and sat on the chair.

“At?” Tatay Peds straighten his posture while listening to what I’m saying.

“And well, I found a guy but then he’s so presko.” I added. Nakita ko namang tumangu-tango si Tatay Peds sa mga sinasabi ko.

“Dahil?” I saw him looking at me.

“Because, he told me to prove myself to him that I’m worthy to be his girlfriend. He’s so presko and arogante Tatay Peds! And that makes me so grrr! Nakakainis sya Tatay Peds! As in!” I ended because of my irritation. Nakakainis talaga ang Campbell guy na yun eh!

“Then, why don’t you prove yourself to him that you’re worthy enough?” Tatay Peds said. I raised my head to look at my Tatay Peds.

“What!? Should I really need to do that!? Am I not worthy enough, Tatay Peds?”

“Well, yes you are my dear pero sa description mo sa lalaking sinasabi mo, I think, ang ugali mo ang kailangan mong patunayan sa kanya.” Tatay Peds said. I looked at him and think about what he said.

“Yung hindi mo pa naipapakitang ugali sa kanya ang ipakita mo, maybe you can impress him. Marami akong nakitang kabutihan sayo, Court na hindi alam ng iba, kahit na ang sarili mong ama pa.” Tatay Peds smiled at me while saying that. Tinumbok kaya ni Tatay Peds ang nais mangyari ng Campbell guy na iyon? I don’t think so pero pinagisipan ko pa rin.

~* No One’s POV *~

Habang nasa kanyang second subject si Courtney that time, busyng-busy sa pagbabasa ng kanyang aklat about sa history, bigla na lang bumukas ang front-double door ng air-conditioned classroom nila. Napatingin naman ang lahat ng estudyante sa may pinto except Courtney.

“Mr. Campbell, what can I do for you?” Tanong ni Ms. Georgina HemmetH, ang History Instructor ng klase. Pumasok naman si Rouque sa loob ng classroom at inabot ang isang papel sa dalagang instructor. Agad naman iyong binasa ng instructor nila.

“Galing po yan kay Mr. Director, Teacher. Hemmeth.” Aning binatilo sa dalagang guro at pagkatapos noon ay agad syang nagtungo sa table ni Courtney na busy pa rin sa pagbabasa ng history book. Hindi pa rin namamalayan ni Courtney ang presensya ng lalaki na nasa kanyang harapan na. The book that she’s reading suits her interest that tackles about the history of Egypt.

“Ahem.” Doon lang naagaw ang pansin ni Courtney that made her looked up and saw Rouque na ngayon ay naka-cross na ang magkabilang kamay sa may dib-dib.

“Yes?” She asked while looking at him curiously.

“Kailangan mong sumama sa akin.” Rouque said in a strict manner. Courtney twitched her brows dahil sa tono ng kanyang pananalita. Feeling nya ay isa itong commander nya.
