Love You, Goodbye

Prologue.

Rhianne's

I'm in a formal party kung saan ako pinapunta ni daddy at mommy dahil nga hindi sila makaka attend since they're out of the country. Then I met some guy. Inabot niya ang kanyang kamay sabay sabi. "Hi I'm Ethan Dela Vega. And this is my cousin Arthur Dela Vega."

"Pleased to meet you." Ngiti ko. He was wearing this black tuxedo and yet he looks hot. Feels like naglalaway ako.

May binulong muna si Arthur bago iniwan kami ni Ethan. Awkward.

"I always hear your name sa mga seniors ko. They always talk about you working in a week with lots of court trials and never ka pa daw natatalo. You're a great prosecutor!"

"Oh thank you. But don't flatter me too much. Baka lumaki ulo ko." I winked. He gave me his sweet-yet-killer-grin na may kasama pang pagtango. I drank my 5th glass of wine. It's flaming hot in here!

"Then let me take you to my suite and we'll talk about work."

Nag simula kaming umikot sa buong villa kung saan nagaganap ang party. Maraming business men and women na makikita mo in their mid 30s. Halatang kami lang ni Ethan ang nasa 20s.

Ethan was quite popular dahil halos lahat ng nakakasalubong namin ay nakikipag usap o binabati siya. May mga nakakilala sakin at tinatanong ako kung fiancé ko daw si Ethan. Nako. How I wish. Charot!

We arrived in a large suite na nasa harap lamang ng dagat ang view. Tanaw ko ang buwan while I can hear the sound of the waves. Napaka bango din ng room.

He sat down on the bed habang pino-pour yung champagne sa dalawang baso. "I don't think alam mo yung arranged marriage natin."

I was shocked. I looked at him hoping na tumawa but he didnt. He just gave me his killer smile and waited for me to answer. "Arrange marriage?"

"Yes. We're engaged, Rhianne. Kaya napatanong yung mga babae kanina if I was your fiancé. I'm quite sad because you didn't know." He chuckled then handed me the champagne.

"I really didn't know." I laughed. "Baka nga sa wedding day ko na malalaman. My parent's are out of the country kaya siguro hindi nila ako na inform."

"Uhuh. That explains it. This party is our engagement party sana. But both of our families are not here kaya hindi muna nila pinaalam sa ibang tao." He opened the curtains at sinenyasan ako na umupo dahil kanina pako nakatayo.

I sat beside him habang iniinom namin ang champagne. There was a brief silence nang maramdaman kong nahihilo na ako.

I tried to stand up but I failed kaya nasalo ako ni Ethan. You're doing your job right champagne!

We looked at each other for a minute. Magkalapit ang aming mga mukha and I can hear my heart beating so fast!

"Can I kiss you?" He whispered under his breath habang pinagmamasdan ako ng maigi.

I paused for a moment. "Yes please." Nararamdaman kong namumula ako sa hiya. Charot. Nahiya pa!

He kissed me passionately as I wrapped my arms around his neck. I felt his hand caressing my back then laid down.

I was on top of him and he was busy massaging my butt cheeks. I can't believe I'm doing it for the first time!
