Courting Rancis Ong: The Seven Despicable Boys (bxb) (On going)

/42/

I nervously said this words without blinking my eyes. "I will."

"I am not really good with persuasion, you see," he mutters as he return his gun back under his clothes.

Oh my god! Muntik na akong atakihin sa puso. Buti nalang inalis na nya 'yong pagkakatutok ng baril sa mukha ko. Ganun pala 'yon? Papatayin niya 'ko pag hindi ako sumunod sa gusto niya? What in the hell!

"P-Pero mayroon lang tayong maliit na problema," sabi ko.

"Ano 'yon?" ani niya.

"Hindi na kami nag de-date ni Zac. Nahuli ko siyang may ginagawang milagro kasama ang ibang babae kaya nakipag hiwalay na 'ko sa kanya."

"I see," he said with a straight face. "That won't be a problem."

"Huh?" I asked.

"We can pretend that we're dating," he again said with a straight face.

"What?!" Is he out of his mind? Why would I date someone that just pointed a gun on my face?

"Okay... I will date you," I said sadly. Nakita ko kasing hinawakan na naman niya 'yong baril sa beywang niya.

"However I have a request."

"My ears are listening," he mutters.

"No more pointless pointing of the gun. You're traumatizing me for heaven's sake! People that are dating never point gun at each other. Are you crazy!" I said exasperated.

He suddenly laughed. Leaving me dumbfounded. Ang cute niya pala pag tumatawa siya.

"I guess you're right. I am sorry," he said while looking at me seriously.

"Perhaps, we should start with an interview. Think of this as a job interview so that I could have a blueprint of what makes you thick."

"Perhaps," I said.

"Question number one," he begins with enthusiasm. "What do you think your greatest quality is?"

I took my time to think it out. What should I say?

I sweetly smiled, "I reckon everyone loves me. I have an inimitable way about me that is difficult to resist."

"Hm, yes, I can see that," he said, leaning forward and peering at my face with what I can say as interest. "There is a certain je ne sais quoi about you that is charming and is simply impossible to resist. I cannot argue with that."

I smiled at him, he also smiled back.

He thought for a moment, "Henceforth, that leads us to my next question. What is your worst quality? Please be honest."

"I have the tendency to act rude at times, and I have a short temper. I also lie when it is in my favor. I am pretty much one of the worst personality there is. I antagonize other people with my abrasive behaviour when I deemed them irritating," I honestly said.

"Well, that's pretty honest and straightforward. I am impressed, you're really bemusing. Quite intriguing if you ask me," he said nonchalantly.

"It's pretty late," he said. "You should follow Loel, she will take you to our guestrooms so that you could take the night for yourself."

I smirked, "Do you guarantee my safety? Will I still wakeup tomorrow in one piece?"

He laughed and smiled, I smiled back. "I promise."

Lumabas na ako ng office ni Yuno at sumalubong sa'kin ang naka-ngiting mukha ni Loel.

Ang weird nang babaeng 'to dahil mukha siyang mabait at insonte, pero dahil sa nakita kong pagtitig niya sa'kin kanina medyo nagbago na ang pagtingin ko sa kanya.
