Sold Myself (SPG)

Chapter 15

Yung babae na pumasok kanina sa bahay ni Nathan, she was his lover. Nathan broke up with her, pero she couldn't accept it. Sayang, she was very beautiful, pero, maganda nga ba ang kalooban niya? Well, that's something I wouldn't know since Nathan won't tell me much about it.

I was walking at the streets of Seoul, the wind was chilly. Pero, when I landed on Incheon, it was even more colder, I loved it though, gustong gusto ko yung lamig, parang may built-in aircon na dito.

Bumalik na ako sa kinaroroonan ko, the butler greeted me with a warm smile.

"May I take your coat, Miss?"

"Alright, thanks." Siguro medyo masama naman if hindi ko ibibigay diba? Hinubad ko yung coat ko and handed it to him.

A few hours later..

Magisa nalang ako dito sa kwarto, drawing. I was drawing a portrait of Nathan, visualizing him in my mind. Then I looked back, then Nathan was there, staring at my drawing.

"Woah!" Nahulog yung lapis na hinahawakan ko.

"Hmm, that man sure does look familiar." He says and grins. He looks at my face and kisses me.

Sobrang init ng labi niya, and it tastes like wine. Has he been drinking again?

He carries me papunta sa higaan, and I got too startled.

"N-nathan, nakakahiya. Tumigil ka nga." I say. Yeah, we're actually married, right?

"Jenny.." He cups my cheeks and kisses me. God I love his lips. I love his face, his cold fingers on my cheeks. My heart is pounding.

His fingers trail upon my thighs, jusko, kinakabahan ako lalo tuwing ginagawa niya ito. He never fails to tease me. His fingers are just.. something else.

Then tinignan niya ako, he stares right into my eyes and said, "Jenny, when will you give me your answer?"

That's right, but I don't think that he really loves me.

"I..please, medyo na p-pressure ako, Nathan. I just don't think you do." I say.

"I understand. I'll give you more time then." Medyo nasira yung mukha niya. He slowly let's go off me, and kisses my forehead. "Goodnight, Jenny."

Tumayo siya, and left the room. I'm sorry, Nathan. Hindi pa ready ang heart ko, char, ang choosy.

KINABUKASAN..

I woke up, at nakita ko na may breakfast in bed, with a bouquet of dogwood flower. Wow. And there's a letter. Dogwood huh, it basically means, 'accept my feelings' . He may probably think roses are too direct, jusko ang cute naman ni Nathan.

'get dressed for tonight, be ready at 8.'

I stared at the letter, lost for words. And the flowers. Gosh.

2 palang ng hapon, hindi ko na alam anong isusuot ko. I was too excited. I did my make up,wore a fit maroon dress, and a black coat, paired with nude heels.

Inantay ko si Nathan outside, and the wind is extremely chilly. Then may sasakyan huminto sa harapan ko. It wasn't Nathan, but a driver.

I was expecting for Nathan.

Dumating na kami sa venue, and it was grandeur. Ang daming sosyal na mga tao dito.

Kakababa ko pa lang sa kotse at nakita ko si Nathan, speaking to older men, holding a glass of champagne, laughing.

Then he avert his gaze sa mga matandang lalake, and looks at me. I waved at him and smiled.

He smiles, and the older men turned their gaze sakin. I walked towards them.

"My, what a beautiful young lady. Nathan." Sabi nung matandang lalake.

"Thank you. Isn't she?" He says and smiles. Then may familiar na babae lumapit samin, yung babaeng naghahanap kay Nathan, his ex.

"It's nice seeing you here, Natey." She says. . Grabe ang ganda niya.

"Oh, Arwyn." Nathan says, and he slid his hands on my waist. "This is Jenny, my girlfriend." She looks at me from head to toe, and laughed. I smiled at her.

"Could you please excuse me? I need to go to the powder room." Sabi ko, and Nathan nodded.

God, that woman was making me uncomfortable. I looked at my face, feeling uncertain and anxious.

Then, someone went in into the powder room, yung ex ni Nathan. Arwen.

"You must got your hands FULL for dating Nathan." She says. Hindi nga ako mayaman eh! Hindi lang ako sumagot.

"You must have no idea who I am. But, a word of advice, you're not fit to be with Nathan. So please, know your place." Arwen says, as she re-applies her lipstick.
