Days passed since we got back in Manila. Balik trabaho, balik stress. Mabuti na lang talaga at nae-enjoy ko ang ginagawa ko. Masaya ako, hindi lang sa trabaho ko kun'di pati na rin sa mga tao sa paligid ko. Nakatutuwa kasi silang panoorin lalo na sa tuwing nagkukulitan sila. Nakaka-good vibes din 'yung madadatnan mo silang nakangiti. Ang sarap lang sa pakiramdam. Okay, I am being cheesy here!

“Hi, Ally!” I greeted her.

“O, Miss Martina,” she stands up at the reception area of the 30th floor. “I am sorry, I did not call you earlier, but you have a guest. Ayaw po kasi niyang ipasabi na nandito siya. Sorry po talaga,” she said, feeling down to herself.

“It's okay. Where is this person?”

“Si Miss Diane po ang naghatid sa kaniya sa office niyo kaya wala na po akong nagawa.”

My office? Diane?

“Wait, sino raw siya?”

“Si Sir Matthew po.”

“Of course, those two!” I muttered before I look at her again, “Thanks.”

I went to my office as soon as I heard his name. Inabutan ko siyang nagbabasa ng libro at komportableng nakaupo sa swivel chair ko.

I clear my throat, “Excuse me, Mr. Mondragon, I think you have a guest,” I played with him.

Agad naman siyang napangiti at lumapit, “Is it a woman?” At sinakyan naman daw niya. “She's probably pretty,” he said before owning my lips.

“Of course, she is,” I said proudly.

“I miss you, babe,” he ran his hands from my shoulder down to my hands as he says it.

I watched him play with my finger before putting it against his lips to kiss my hand.

“Parang kahapon lang, magkasama tayo ah,” natatawang sabi ko.

“That's past,” he pulled me close to him. “This is present.”

“Dami mong alam,” I chuckled. Inalis ko ang pagkakayakap niya sa akin para ilapag ang bag ko sa office table ko. Agad din naman siyang sumunod.

Why is he so clingy? Well, I am not clingy. Sabi ko sa inyo eh, mas malandi pa 'yan sa akin. Kalalaking tao eh.... But heck, yeah, I like it.

“What are you doing here? I told you not to come here,” I said, arranging some stuffs on my desk.

Hinarap ko siya at nagulat ako nang sobrang lapit na pala niya. My gosh, Martina. Hindi ka na nasanay.

“Why can't I? I want to see my baby.” He walks closer and I felt the table behind me.

Eto na naman tayo sa ipitan. Nako ah!

“Well, you can see me after my shift. Ikaw, may pasok ka, 'di ba?” I ask as I walk out between him and the table.

I went to the bookshelves to find some books. As usual, he's my tail.

“Yes, here.” What?

I face him, “Babe, we need to work.”

Dammit, he is making me feel hot already.

“We will put some work on it...,” says Matt, placing strands of hair behind my ear, touching my skin.

Ang bastos mo talaga, Mondragon. Agh, nilalagnat na 'ata ako. How could he sent chills to my body when I am feeling hot? I mean, that feeling, hot and cold at the same time, oh, this is no good! I am starting to need him too.
