Me & My Barman. Opz! S.o.S Love Affair!

Chapter IV "MANHATTAN"

Kailangan ko talagang sumuko sa idea na hindi na magbabago ang paningin ng tao sa kung ano mang relasyon ang meron kami ng bwisit na hinayupak na impaktong si sir Martin.. Kahit na ang totoo ehh, nag-eenjoy lang siyang makita akong nanggagalaiti para sa own satifaction st kasayahan niya... He is a real sadist man! And a beast deep inside!

- Alicia we need to start making the inventory. Come with me down stairs. -

- Hah? Down stairs? Anong meron sa ilalim? - Tinnong ko kay Sir na medyo kinakabahan.

- A secret bed kong saan kita ikakama... -

- Hah? No! I don't want to go with you! -

- Baliw! Ano sa tingin mo ang meron sa basement! Edi obviously ang mga cellar storges ng alcoholic drinks at wine cellar! Engot ka talaga. Asa ka namang gagalawin kita! -

- Wow! Palakpakan... Over my dead body! Never akong aasang gagalawin ako ng isang manyak na kagaya mo! -

- Tama na ang angal! Mag-umpisa na tayo kung ayaw mong matagalang kasam ako. -

- Ok, let's go down and work. -

- First we are going sa room ng mga alak, irerecord mo ang lahat ng mga natira pagkatapos in base sa mga natira doon tyo magdedesisyon kong mag-oorder tayo ng stock or hindi. This is the list of all the bottles of drink that we have here in this room. You only need to write the numbers or the remaining bottles. Is that clear?
-

- Yeah it's clear! -

<< After an hour >>

- I'm done! You're sick minded man! Having 178 types of alcoholic drinks to count is not so easy as what you think lalo na if I need to count from 10 and above bottles each type... Promise! I'm hating you more and more! -

- Yeah well atleast you're done! There must be atleast 50 bottles for each type of alcoholic drinks so start making a list of how many bottles we need to order and sa likod ng papel there is an another copy... Don't forget to write "Order section" and put the number of the bottles we need to order. We must atleast reach a total of 50 bottles per types. Naiinindihan mo? -

- Yes Sir... Gagawin ko na po! - looking at him with a stubborn face.

After kong ginawa ang inventory at sinulat ang lista ng mga kailangan iorder tinulungan ko si Sir Martin maglinis at pagkatapos inulit namin ang same procedure in the beer cellar at sa wine cellar and finally hanggang sa last room na ang kailangan naming linisin...

- Wow 10 pm palang and we're almost done. Ito nalang ang kulang na cellar and finally matatapos na natin ang work na to. Are you happy Alice? - He smiled at me.

- Yeah, I am... sa wakas makakarelax narin tayo ng konte . - I smiled back.

- In this room we have everything na kailangan sa pag-lilinis ng bar, straws, table napkins, different kind of cocktail glasses and other stuffs. We need to open every box para malaman kong ano ang nasa loob and after isulat sa box ang nilalaman at we need to arrange them on their own shelves. -

- Yes Sir! Heheh... -

-Ang  saya mo ata ah? -

- Yeah kase finally patapos na tayo and finally makakain and makakapagrelax narin tayo. -

- Night swimming tayo mamay? - he smiled.

- Yeah sure, why not? I think we deserve it after working hard kakalinis ng storage na to. -

- Alice pwede mo bang dalhin ang box na to sa taas... Hahawakan ko ang hagdanan para hindi ka mahulog. -

- Ok sir, akong bahala... -

Nilagay ko ang box sa taas ng shelf pero ng pababa na ako I don't know kong bakit biglang nawalan ako ng balance at biglang nahulog sa hagdanan. -

- Ahhh... -

- Alice!!! -

...... Sbam .......

- Alice? Are you ok? -

Sinalo ako ni Sir Martin. I was shocked 'cause in that moment, for the first time I saw his eyes closely. Hindi ko akalaing for a brief moment I was lost inside those beautiful eyes. -

- Alice, can you please stand up... Ang bigat mo hindi ako makatayo. -

- Sorry Sir, di na po mauulit. Nadulas po ang mga paa ko habang bumababa ako... thank you for catching me while I was falling... -

Tiningnan niya ako at ngumiti, pagkatapos ay niyakap niya ako and my heart started to beat so fast... Medyo natakot ako na baka marinig niya ang pagtibok ng subra ng puso ko kaya  hindi ako umimik.

- Wag mo nang uulitin yon... Buti nalang nasa ilalim ako, you should pay more attention and don't be careless. Do you understand me? -

- Yeah I understand and sorry na kung nag- alala ka.-

- Ayaw ko lang na masaktan ka or masugatan. -

Binitawan niya ako at tiningnan sa mga mata. His finger tips touched my chin slowly and then bigla niya akong hinalikan. Nagulat ako sa ginawa ni Sir Martin... Sinubukan kong pumalag pero he is stronger than me so hinayaan ko siyang halikan ako and after some minutes tumigil siya. Binitawan niya ako.

.... Slap .....

- Oh bakit mo ako sinampal? Ano na naman ang ginawa ko? -

- Bakit sinabi ko bang pwede mo akong halikan! Ang kapal ng mukha mo no? -

Niyakap uit ako ni Sir Martin .

- Sorry na, nagpadala lang ako sa nararamdaman ko. Hindi ko  napigilan  ang sarili ko.- He whispered to my ears.

- Don't do it again! Ginulat mo ako! -

- As you wish my dear... Let's go back to work. -

- My dear dear ka dyan! Baliw di mo ako girlfriend para tawaging dear! manigas ka! -

- May be hindi ngayon but for sure soon. - He winked his eye.

- Umasa ka pa! libre lang naman umasa! Manyak! Ew. -

- Ew ka ng ew e gusto mo rin naman! Hahah! -

- Feelingero! Grabeh! Ang sarap mong upakan as in... Tigil tigilan mo nga ako hah!

- Ok... Ok... Let's go back to work na nga! . -
