The Egoistic Bastard

Chapter 5 - Trapped

(Honey's POV) 

This is the day that I've been dreading. It has come. At ito na ang ikamamatay ko. OA LANG. 

Magtatrabaho na ako kasama ang mayabang at feeling gwapong si Julian Araneta. Did I just say 'gwapo'? Oo na gwapo na. Pero mayabang pa rin. Ugh. He's got a big EGO. 

Umamin ka na kase na malakas ang appeal at gwapo talaga si Julian. That was my mind talking. Okay fine!!! Gwapo na at malakas ang appeal niya! Grr. But that doesn't mean that he's better than most guys. He's still a guy and his mission in this world is to break girls' hearts, not to be biased or anything. 

Ayan nanaman ako. Gumagana nanaman ang pagka-manhater ko. Stop it! I work with Julian, for God's sake! Work lang, walang personal reasons. Ew, it's not that I'm attracted to him or anything. 

I drove to the office.

OFFICE 

I'm late. Damn. For the first time in history, ngayon pa 'ko na-late. Magandang first impression yan, self. Continue your tardiness and you'll be jobless in no time. *applause* 

Sorry naman ha. Gasgas na yung excuse ko: TRAFFIC. Partially true, pero ang totoo, masyadong malalim ang iniisip ko at hindi ko namalayan na green light na pala. Kung hindi pa ko binusinahan nung nasa likod ko, hindi pa ko makakaalis. Ugh. 

Anyway, pagdating ko sa office... 

"Ms. Ramos, go to Mr. Araneta's office immediately." sabi nung secretary ni Julian. Este, ni sir pala. Ewan ko kung anong pangalan niya. 

Ayan na, hinahanap na ako ni boss. Pumunta na ako agad sa office niya at nakalimutan kong kumatok. Pagbukas ko ng pinto.. 

O____________________________________O 

Why is adonis standing in front of me?! Gulp. Si Julian pala, nagbibihis. 

ASDFGHJKL; BA'T SIYA DITO NAGBIBIHIS?! WALA BANG CR SA OPISINA NIYA?! 

I stood there with my mouth open, my foot seemed stuck to the ground. 

"Don't you know how to knock, Honey?" 

Ay close na tayo ngayon at first name basis na?  At bakit may six-pack siya? Bakit? Bakit parang gusto kong hawakan?

I shook my head lightly.

That snapped me back to my senses. 

"Sorry, sir. Sa sobrang pagmamadali nakalimutan kong kumatok." sabi ko. 

"Are you done staring at my chest? 'Cause I'm about to close my polo." he smirked. 

WHAT?! I WASN'T STARING!!!  

Oh yes you are, my dear. 

Shut up, brain!!! 

Buti natapos siyang magbihis. 

"Let's go." aya niya. 

"Huh? Where? I thought we're going to have a meeting or something." sabi ko. 

"Yes, may meeting tayo sa kabilang building. With the other departments' directors and assistants." sagot niya. 

I followed him outside. 

Pumasok kami sa isang elevator. 

Nang biglang nawalan ng ilaw...at na-stuck kami sa loob.

May balat ba ako sa pwet? Ang malas ko naman!!!

(Julian's POV) 

HAHAHAHAH! *evil laugh* 

Everything goes as planned. 

Yup, plano ko talagang madatnan niya akong nagbibihis at pano ko rin na ma-trap kami dito sa elevator. 

Hehehehehe. Bakit ba? Trip ko. Walang basagan! 

"Are you okay?" I asked her. 

"Ehem. Yes, no need to get touchy, or anything. I'm fine." sabi niya. 

Hinawakan ko kasi yung braso niya, nag-alala lang naman ako kasi wala siyang kibo. 

May naramdaman ko na lang na parang may kumapit sa dibdib ko, at parang nahilo ata si Honey. 

"Hey, you're not fine. It's okay, you can lean on me." I assured her. 

"Thanks, I'm just a bit.-" 

"Achluophobic ka ba?" tanong ko. (Achluophobia - fear of the darkness) 

"Uhh...as crazy as it sounds, yes." she leaned into me more. 

I love this. HAHAHAHAHA! 

"It's okay, I'm here. Do you want to sit?" I asked her. 

"Can you please get us out of here?" tanong niya sakin. 

"Alright, I'll call the technicians." sagot ko.

A few minutes of awkward silence and some body heat preservation later... 

Pagbukas ng pintuan..

"Sir, okay lang po kayo?" sabi nung technician. 

"Yeah, thanks." umalis na sa pagkakayakap sakin si Honey, unfortunately at inayos ang kanyang uniform. "Let's go." sabi ko naman sa kanya. 

Pumasok kami sa conference room at nakipag-meeting, after all okay lang naman ma-late, ako naman ang boss eh. Hahaha! 

"So, can we start now? Is everybody here?" I asked my co-directors. 

"Actually, you're the only ones that are late, sir." sabi ni Harvey, director ng production. At parang may galit sakin 'to. Hmmmmmm. 

"Who's the boss again?" tanong ko sa kanya. 

"You, sir. But that doesn't mean that everytime we have a meeting, you're gonna be late and reason out that you're the boss. You should set a good example, like Miss Ramos here. It's the first time she's late, actually. May I know why?" Harvey smiled at Honey. 

AH. I GET IT. MAY GUSTO SIYA KAY HONEY. WELL, WELL, WELL. What do we have here? 

"Uhh, we got stuck in the elevator, sorry." Honey smiled. 

SHE ACTUALLY SMILED AT HARVEY!!! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?! SHE NEVER EVEN SMILED AT ME LIKE THAT. 

That smiled...so beautiful and genuine. And it wasn't for me, it was for Harvey. Damn. 

I'm competitive. Did I mention I like to compete?

This means war, Harvey. And it's not good when you compete with your boss. You know, you might lose your job in the process. But since I love a good competition, I'm not gonna do that. YET.
