The Real Love Story

TRLS 29

Guys, check my profile for my new story entitled, The Sovereign.

[Scarlette's POV]

I woke up the next day with an iMessage sent by Shannon earlier 2:37 AM. I wasn't really interested in it because I know it was just some random scene at the club where they headed to yesternight and maybe it was meant to make me jealous. Nonetheless, I opened it and was surprised to see a picture... of Alexander Aguilar.

Shannon Guevarra

One of the few things you missed out last night. ;) 

Sent 2:38 AM

I hold my temple when I felt it throbbing. God, really? Is he this miserable? Sleeping in the VIP room's floor, alone, with a lot of different bottles surrounding him? He's wearing his office attire yet his blazer was placed on the sofa, crumpled. 

I did not know how Shan was able to see him inside that room but that wasn't really the big deal. He is literally wasting his damn life for what? For Sharmaine? 

Wow, my mind uttered. As if you didn't waste your damn life for Spencer.

"Well, at least I'm moving on," I mumbled. I looked at the photo again and sighed. 

Mabilis akong nag-ayos para pumunta sa condo niya. Bago paman ako umalis ng bahay ay dumaan muna ako sa kusina para sa ipinaluto ko kay Manang Nancy.

"Oh, ikaw na bata ka, bakit ka ba kasi umiinom inom ha?" Bungad niya sa akin habang sinasalinan ang isang bowl ng hangover soup. Pinigilan ko siya.

"Nang, that's not for me. Pakilagay nalang sa tupperwear, please?"

Hindi siya nagtanong at agad ding ginawa ang inutos ko. Nung matapos siya ay agad akong umalis para umabot naman ang soup na ito sa condo ni Alex ng mainit pa. Pagkadating ko doon ay tama nga ang hinala ko. Napabuntong hininga ako habang nilalapitan siya sa sahig ng living room niya. 

"Alex..." I slightly tapped his cheek. "Alex, wake up." He groaned and turned his back on me. I rolled my eyes. Nilakasan ko ang pagtapik sa pisngi niya. "Wake the hell up, señorito."  At last, the king has finally awakened. 

He looked puzzled the moment he saw me. "S-Scar-- huh?" Mabilis niyang sabi at napatawa nalang ako. Ngumiwi siya. "Oh damn, my head hurts." 

I stood up, made my way to his kitchen. "Bumangon ka na, I brought some soup for your hangover." 

Sumunod naman siya sa akin at agad na naghilamos. Habang nasa kwarto siya ay inihanda ko agad ang soup na dala ko. Timing din ang paglabas niya. Tinignan niya ang lamesa pagkatapos ay ako.

"H-How..."

"Just eat, Alexander."

Wow. He's obedient when he's sobering up, huh? Nakatingin lang ako sa kanya habang nilalantakan niya ang pagkaing dala ko. His eyes were pluffy and well, he didn't shave, that's for sure. Ngumiwi ako.

"Don't you have work?" I asked at napatigil naman siya sa pag-inom ng tubig. He looked at his watch and mutter some curses before standing up. 

"Damn it, mom will be furious!" He ran his way to his room at napailing nalang ako. "Scarlette!" He called me when he's about to enter, I looked at him and he smiled. "Salamat." 

I stand still, trying to calm down. I didn't know his tagalog voice would sound that good... and sexy.

Great.

Alexander left a few hours ago while I continue doing my work. 2 days nalang at matatapos ko na ang trabaho ko at makakapagfocus na ako sa coffee shop ko. I can't help but be excited! Sana naman hindi maging pabaya yung lalaking yun sa responsibilidad niya, no? Well, may kontrata naman kaming pinirmahan. I can immediately sue him for violating any of the rules written there. Napangisi ako.
