"Mm so are we deal Lily?" Todo ngiti na tanong ko sa napakagandang dalaga na si Lily na anak ng sikat na modelo at photographer.
Actually, inimbita ko sila for a very special dinner dito sa Makati. Sobrang interested kasi ako kay Lily. I mean, malaki ang pag-asa nyang kagatin ng publiko because this girl is undeniably beautiful. She can be a model like her mother, actress kung magaling umarte, o maging singer. But right now, I'm offering Lily a commercial.
"Yes Ms. Serrano.." Sure na sure na sagot ni Lily sakin.
Nakikita ko ang sarili ko kay Lily nong una akong pumasok sa showbiz. Kaya pinursue ko talaga na mapapayag si Lily especially her parents. Aside from acting kasi I also produce films, movie, commercials or anything related in entertainment industry.
"Nike.." Pagtatama ko kay Lily. Umayos ako ng upo sabay ngiti. "Just call me Nike because Ms. Serano is too formal."
Nagblushed si Lily sabay tango. "Opo.."
"Very well." My face broke into a smile. "Let's sign the papers then." I turned to look at Elena. Lily's mother. "Don't worry about the contract, everything is in Lily's favor."
"Thank you Nike." Sabi ni Elena.
Then I returned my attention back to Lily who is now signing the papers with a smile on her face. "I know you can do better than me Lily"
Napaangat ang mukha ni Lily to look at me. "That's not true." This girl is so humble. "I'm nothing compare to you Nike."
"Hey.." I stopped Lily bringing herself down. "We all start from the bottom, from nothing, from scratch."
Anyway I'm Nike Serano not the Niké shoe okay? Just nike. I'm the Superstar in today's generation who also never expected to be this famous. Dahil puro aral at bahay lang ako before until I was offered to audition for a certain role and the rest is history. Being an actress did not stop me from finishing my studies and graduated in College. Iba parin kasi ang may tinapos.
Lahat ginawa ko to make my father's proud since my beloved mother died a long ago. Plus I made a promise with my best friend Mars kahit na ilang taon na kaming walang komunikasyon. We grew up together and I was the one who protects Mars from bullies dahil sa personal appearance nya. Chubby with eyeglasses kaya madalas mapagkatuwaan sya ng ibang tao.
But everything has its end dahil pagkatapos naming makagraduate ng high school ay nagmigrated si Mars kasama ang pamilya nya sa London. It hurts losing a good friend but I'm more brokenheart as Mars slowly drifted away.
Sinalubong ako ng mga nagkikislapang flash ng mga camera pagkalabas ko palang ng restaurant. Pero hindi ko pinansin ang mga paparazzi na walang ginawa kundi ang bumuntot sa lahat ng ginagawa ko.
Daretso daretso lang ako sa naghihintay na sasakyan sakin at agad akong sumakay."They needed to stay away from you." Inis na sabi ni Cole na may kasama pag-iling.
"That's their job." Parang hindi pa sanay itong si Cole sa nature ng work ko. "But thank you for picking me up."
Huminga ng malalim si Cole bago tumingin sakin. His expression soften. "How was the meeting?"
Nagseatbelt ako. "It was great." Nakangiti ko na sabi. "Nakuha ko ang tiwala ni Lily."
"You really liked that girl."
Natawa ako. "Nakikita ko lang ang sarili ko sa kanya."
Hindi sumagot si Cole at sabay halik sa labi ko. "When we get married I want you to stop acting Nike."
Engaged na kami Cole at soon ay ikakasal narin. Pero ewan ko ba kung bakit may pag-aalinlangan sa puso ko. Cole is a nice man, smart, handsome but really possessive. Alam ko naman na sobrang protective nya sakin pero lately nagiging OA na, nakakasakal.
"Cole.." I sighed impatiently. "We already talk about this right? I can't just quit and leave my job just like that because I have a commitments and contract."
"Don't worry Nike I will pay them." Mariin na sabi ni Cole na humigpit ang kapit sa manibela. "I don't care how much."
It makes me roll my eyes in dismay. This isn't the first time na pinamumukha nya sakin ang pera nya. He maybe a multi-billionaire but it does not mean kaya nyang bayaran ang pagkatao ko.
"This is not about money Cole." Pangangatwiran ko. "And before I accepted your marriage proposal, I first explained to you my condition and you agreed—"
"Okay okay I'm sorry." Cole said in defeat. "I just... I want those paparazzi to stop harassing you Nike. I want our privacy."
Now I feel bad that he has to go through this. Kaya napabuntong hininga nalang ako at hinawakan ang kamay nya. "I'm sorry."
"No Nike." He said softly more on comforting. "Don't be sorry." He brought my hand to his mouth and kisses it gently. "Pasensya ka na kung part of me wants you to quit showbiz." Humigpit ang hawak nya sa kamay ko. "I only want a simple life Nike, no media, no fans and of course no paparazzi."
"Pero alam mo namang hindi ko agad pwedeng talikuran ang pag-aartista Cole."
"Yeah I know..." Naiiling nyang sabi.
At hindi na ako kumibo pa to end our conversation. Medyo malayo narin ang nababyahe namin nang mapatingin ulit ako kay Cole. "Wait, I thought you are going to China tonight for the ground breaking of your new project?"
"We cancelled it due to Corona Virus." Hindi tumitingin na sagot nya sakin. "And besides.." Sinulyapan nya ako saglit. "I want to be here with you to make sure na no one is flirting and taking advantage of you."
Yes, I know that he cares a lot for me but sometimes I felt like Cole treat me like a prisoner, he doesn't trust me like I trust him. He is so strict and bossy and I couldn't do what I wanted to do because of him. Engaged palang kami ganito na, what more kung kasal na kami? Ano nalang ang mangyayari sakin?
"Where are we going?" I intentionally changed the subject.
"Where do you want though? Are you hungry?" He asked me back. Napahinto ang sasakyan dahil sa trapik. "Edsa is horrible in traffic."
I pressed the side of my head against the window. "There's a traffic everywhere Cole."
"So why not at your place tonight?" Parang may double meaning ang sinabi ni Cole. "Let's order anything you want and chill."
"Sure." As if I have a choice.
"Good."
I saw Cole look at me from the corner of his eyes and I already know what he wants which makes me feel a little uneasy. It didn't take us awhile when we arrived at my house. Kapapasok palang namin sa loob ng bahay when Cole kissed me hard. Yong tipo na hindi ako makakalaban o makakapagprotesta pa. So I just let him do whatever he want just to get over this.
"You are so beautiful Nike." Cole whispered against my skin. His lips trailed kisses from my neck down my chest but stopped and took his shirt off and pants. "You are mine."
I slowly unbutton his clothes and threw it on the floor and scanned every details of his body. Those abs and muscles are become more bigger, bolder and screaming for me. So I caressed his stomach gently. "The perks of living in the gym ha."
Cole chuckled and pinned my hands over my head with a lopsided smirk on his mouth. "I know you like it Nike. So don't complain."
I run my hands against his chest. "I'm not complaining Cole. I was stating the fact—" Cole claimed my mouth to shut me up. He spread my legs and rub his already erected member between my thighs. "Mm." I moaned when I felt him going in and out of me slowly. While I stared at the ceiling completely not enjoying.
Yes I know sex is part of any relationship but to Cole, it feels like a responsibility. I couldn't bring myself to enjoy it. There's no spark or excitement.
