KANINA pa ako tawa ng tawa sa mga pinagkukwento ni Ross. This pervert knows a lot basta kalokohan ang pinag uusapan."Hell. I thought my Dad will have an heart attack after knowing that. Fuck my cousins. But in the end, they are the one who pursue my serious Dad." Nakatingala siya while telling his story. Well, sa dinami ng kinuwento niya I can say I can know him somehow aside from being a playboy and a pervert.
At the age of 25, he's now the COO of their family company. He told me that his father wants him to get married and get a life before he can get the full company.
"I love my family. Specially Mom. I maybe like this. Living everything to the fullest. But my family is my first thing first."
"But you said you don't want to do what your father wants."
"It's not that I don't wanna do it. I can get married as soon as I want. But the thing is, ayoko ng inuunahan nila ako sa gusto ko mangyari." He said while playing the sand.
"I have my own decisions Eirene. No one can tell what should I do except me. Buhay ko ang pinag uusapan dito." He continue.
Hindi na ako umimik. He's right. No one can decide for yourself except you. Especially when it's about your happiness.
"Ikaw Eirene? Tell me about yourself."
I look at him and he's looking at me. He's smiling. We're here in the shore. Soaking wet. Lumilim kaya hindi gaanong maiinit.
"What do you wanna know about me?" I asked him instead since I don't know where to start.
"Well aside from your name is Eirene, where do you live. How old are you. Introduce yourself c'mon." He said while still looking at me. I look at the sea as I started.
"Well, I am 24. I grew up in Cali and-"
"As in California?" Putol niya. I nodded.
"Then why are you applying at my company? Walang mahirap sa Cali." Natawa naman ako sa reaksyon niya.
"Seriously? Kapag ba taga-Cali mayaman na?" I laughingly said. He just stared at me.
"Okay okay. We're not poor. Actually, we own hotels and restaurants in different countries." I said in defeat.
"Sinasabi ko na nga ba e."
"Well, if your father just told you to get married but you are free to choose who, I'm not." I smiled bitterly.
"My Dad wants me to get married to the one I don't even know nor met. And like you, I want my happiness." I continue. I told him I am an only child that's why. I am half German and half Filipino. And I went here to escape.
"Then I should hire you." He said after I told him my story.
"And why? Pittying me huh?"
"No. Because you said you need this. You're on your own now so you need to have a source of living. Remind me to report to me as soon as we get home." I smiled in his seriousness. Wala ng umimik saming dalawa. We just both stared at the sea.
Maya maya pa naramdaman ko siyang tumayo. So I look at him.
"C'mon. We still need to buy some clothes." He said smiling while giving his arm. I grab it and we went to have a walk.
Marami ring mga stalls dito. Different kind of stalls. Karamihan, souvenirs and food. Kaya yung unang botique store na nakita namin dun kami pumasok.
May mga descent clothes naman but a lot is swim wears. Trunks and swim suits.
"Just get what you want. Don't worry about anything it's on me." He said while picking some maybe for him. I just shrugged and pick too.
I decided to get 5 sets of normal clothes. Two dresses and still looking for a swim suit that is not too revealing when Ross interrupt.
"This will suit you. You'll look hot." I blushed. I immediately look away and went to the counter. I heard him giggle that made me blush more. Pervert Madrigal!
WE'RE here at the front desk arguing with the management. Actually, I was just the one who's not in favor because Ross said it's okay. Like what the hell? We'll share in one cottage. Sleep in one bed. Hell no way!
"I'm so sorry Ma'am pero fully booked na po talaga yung mga cottages namin." The manager explained. Mukhang nagkamali akong hindi pa summer dahil we can't have another cottage!
"C'mon Rene. We can't do anything about it-"
"Shut up. Ugh! I so hate you Madrigal." I stomply said while marching outside and went to our cottage.
I was busy fixing my things we bought when Ross entered the room.
"Uhh.." He started. But I didn't utter a word. I'm pissed.
"Hey. Are you mad?" He asked. The hell I'm not.
"Okay. I guess I'll just sleep here at the floor to have your peace of mind Rene." He said then started picking a pillow and a blanket. Napahinto naman ako.
Guilt bugging me in. Eirene that is your boss. How can you do this to him? He even bought clothes for you! I sigh in irritation. Urgh!
"No."
Napahinto naman siya sa akmang paglalatag at napatingin sakin.
"No it's okay I unders-"
"We'll both sleep in the bed. But I am warning you Mr. Madrigal.." I paused but intenly looking at him. He laughed but tried to stop and lift his both hands.
"Okay okay. I won't."
I still look at him with kinky eyes until he went serious.
"Look Eirene. My romantic nights might ruined but I assure you I won't get in your pants unless you said so." Then he winked. I was about to throw him a pillow when he hurridly run outside.
