It was a busy Monday morning for me like the usual week starter.
I pressed the intercom button "Shee, could you please hand me my schedule for today?"
"Yes ma'am."
"Cancel this insert schedule of Dad, I can't go now to Tagaytay for the ocular inspection. Mid week pa naisipang pumunta duon, or maybe later than that. I'm gonna bring the entire team."
"Noted mam"
Naintindihan naman siguro yun ni dad kasi di na sya nagpumilit pa. Di ko pa kayang makaharap c Raphael. For sure anduon sya kasi he is part of the team.
Nang biglang bumukas ang pintuan.
"Shee I told you I won't-"
"Sophie, can we talk.  W-what happened last time..." nabitin ang dapat na sasabihin ko, it's Raphael. What is he doing here? Ayaw ko nga sya makita! Ugh!
"Oh save it! You don't have to explain, I must admit, I'm a bit tipsy that time but I still knew what I am doing that time.  Maybe... Natangay lang ako sa mga pangyayari but that's it only.  Wala tayong relasyon okay? So, there's no fuss about it."
"Sophie... you see, I like you... a lot!"
"So yung nakita ko sa coffee shop, you like her a lot too?" I can't help but exclaim all of a sudden. Meghad! Am I being jealous here?
"Wala kaming relasyon ni Marie." So the parrot girl has a name now? Napataas ako Ng kilay.
"Yung nakita mo sa coffee shop, Wala yun. I saw her on my way to the coffee shop. She is the cousin of my client I am about to meet there.  Kaya di na kita nasundan kasi damating na din yung client ko."
Katahimikan.  I don't want to become a nagging girlfriend eh Wala nga kaming relasyon.
"Why did you cancel our appointment for ocular inpection?" Finally sya na rin bumasag Ng katahimikan namin.
"Oh that?  I've made my weeklong schedule ahead. It's loaded already.  So that can only be done in mid-week or later than that. We will take charge of everything, the whole team will be there.  Don't worry detailed report will be  furnished to your company and dad's as well for counter checking. We will comform to any revisions that you'll have."
"Excuse me mam, meeting will start in a few minutes.  Kayo na Lang po Ang inantay." Gusto ko yakapin at halikan si Sheila kasi she saved me from further discussion with Raphael na I'm afraid di na ako makatagal.  Kanina pa sobrang bilis tibok Ng puso ko.  He really affected me this much.  Feelings so strange to me. 
"Raphael, if you'll excuse me.  I think I need to go now"
"S-Sophie... Can we have dinner tonight or maybe lunch?"
"I can't.  I have lot of things to do Raphael. May mga backlog the previous weeks din that I have to attend... I'm sorry."
The moment I stood from my swivel chair, he hugged me tightly.  Slowly, he cupped my chin with both hands and kissed me in a very gentle and more passionate way.  Magkadikit Ang aming noo while hands still cupping my chin.  "I'll be missing you a lot babe... My flight to New York and Vegas will tomorrow. I need to finalize some stuffs there.  But I will surely see you next week Soph." and kissed me cup in a very sensual movement.  I almost lost my breath.

"Oh Raphael you are a death of me

"Oh Raphael you are a death of me... " I hold my chest. That was intense! Shit!
Natauhan nalang ako nung kumatok ulit si Sheila. "I'll be right there".
I drank a glass of water before proceeding to the conference room.

Buti na lang, my sharpness helped me get through with the duration of the meeting.
My phone beeped.

From: unknown number
I hate leaving you that soon. I already get something to remember while having my stay in US. 😘

Mahilig din pala ng emoticon ang isang Marko Raphael Oregon. I smiled to myself. Maybe I'll get to know him better. He is really something aside from being a good kisser, he awaken my sexuality that I am not aware I've kept within me.
I closed my eyes, another teleconference coming up later and more to go. But this message of Raphael gave a dose of thousands of energy for the day. Sarap din pala yung may ganito.

To: Raphael
Same here. You take care always. 😌
Gusto ko sabihin sa Kanya how it affected me also pero nahihiya ako. I'd rather not.

From: Raphael
Sure babe. Ingat ka din while I'm away. I already changed my flight later since di tayo magtutuloy for ocular inspection. Para I can fly back the soon than the scheduled time. Bye for now, I'm already with the members of the board for the meeting.

Aba't? Sasama talaga sya sa Amin? Di ko maiwasan ma excite sa isiping yun. I simply replied, Okay.
In a little while, face of Mr. Yugama popped out from my computer screen. Sya yung isang client namin na Japanese for his restaurant in makati. Here we go....
I smiled to him. "Ohayo gozaimasu, Mr. Yugama" and slightly bowed my head. And he did the same to greet me back...
