"Bestie!!! Ayoko na talaga sa'yo! I think he is stealing you away from me!"

Aahh!! I am listening to my bestfriend right now, whining how we are not able to hang out for this past week, and that my boss, I mean Rafael is stealing me away from her. I really love this girl. I think she is my sister from another mother and father. We think the same. We have the same taste for food, clothes, jewelries, bags, and even men. However, never in our entire life we liked the same man.

"Bestie! don't think that way. I am always here. It's just that I am getting very busy with work lately," I said, trying to excuse my absence this past few days. As if naman di nya alam ang tungkol sa work ko.

Of course! Alam ni Tanya lahat. She has to know. She is the only one I have. Whom I can share my dramas in life and vice versa.

It's not that I don't have my family, it's just that I am not close with my father. Well, he never gave us chance to be close.

Well, I have a brother, though he is in America, we are close but he's a man and you know, it's impossible for us to have the same taste.

"Promise me you will not fall for your boss, kay?" she said that bring me back to my senses.

"Huh?" I said as if di pa nag sink in sa utak ko ang question.

"I mean sana di na maulit yung nangyari noon sa'yo best," saad ni Tanya.

"I promise bestie. That will not happen," I told her though I am not sure now if I can still stop him from invading the personal spot that I kept lock in my heart for a long time already.

We talked that afternoon as if we haven't talked for years.

It is already 6 pm when we finished talking because we are interrupted by the ringing of my phone.

And to no surprise that was the most handsome devil I have ever seen. Joke lang. Si Rafael ang tumatawag.

"Yes, hello?" maikli kong bati.

"Is that how you would answer your husband's call?" I can imagine the naughty smile he is flashing right now.

On the other hand, Tanya is eyeing me, as if she is saying to remember what I had promised her.

"I would like to remind you Mr. Salazar that it is only a fake marriage, so don't get carried away," I answered him to show that I am not intimidated with his very manly, sexy tone.

"Well, I have to remind you as well, Ms. Madrigal, that I am still your boss. So you have to answer me properly when I call. Is that right Ms. Madrigal? Or should I call you Mrs. Salazar?" I dunno but I can sense that he is irritated with what I toold him earlier.

"Apparently, yes, but that doesn't mean you can call me anytime you want, and it is my day off today. I am suppose to be resting BOSS, so why call me? Can't that wait for tomorrow?" I am sorry but I am not just used to be on the losing side.

"Okay, I am sorry if I was being rude. But given that you mentioned that you should be resting by now, how come I am seeing you now inside a coffee shop with a girl, a pretty girl," he said accusingly.

'What the hell! Is he following me? Where is he? Grrrr!!! And a PRETTY GIRL? A PRETTY GIRL? Is he referring to Tanya?' my mind is full of thoughts while I am trying to look for the devil.

"Hey, I am here three o'clock from where you are. You look funny. You might hurt your neck looking for me," I can hear his soft laughters on the other line.

When I look at Tanya, she is mouthing me 'I have to go, I have something to do' with matching funny gestures. So I nod to signal 'Okay you can go' to her. And I mouth back 'I love you' to her. She then kissed my cheek and whispers I love you too on my right ear.

"I see you're busy. Are you lesbian?" the guy on the other line broke the silence.

"THE FUCK!" napalakas yata ang sigaw ko cause the people are looking at me.

"No I am not! And never will I be!" wait a minute. Why am I whispering? "Why are you here? Are you following me?" I asked him who is still inside the car outside the coffe shop across the window where I am sitting.

"What if yes?" this guy really knows how to make a girl excited. But NO! I won't fell for that trap. Once is enough. It won't happen again. That night. It won't happen again!

"Why?"

"Nothing, just checking out my wife-to-be,"he said in a very plain tone so its hard to figure out if he's sincere or not. "Will you go out for dinner with me?" he suddenly asked.

"N-now?" here I go again with the stammering.

"Yes. Let's go. I have already made arrangements with your favorite resto in town," he said as if he is sure that I will say yes.

Well, not that I will say no, but he is like very sure that I will come. hehe.

As what I've said I will not say no, so I stood up, went to the ladies' room for a couple of minutes to retouch and went out to meet my prince charming. Kidding. >< v

Rafael's POV

How did I know that she will say yes? Well, I didn't. That's why I am very thrilled right now. This is my first time asking a girl out.
