Accidentally Inlove

Chapter 2 --- not my type

Aba. Type pala ako ng Sir Marcus na to. Why he's asking me out? Teka nga, mareplyan.

"I'm sorry Sir? Why are you asking me out?" reply ko agad sa kanya.

Twenty minutes have passed pero wala pa rin reply. I just ignore it and back to my work. Pero nakaka-bother talaga ung email nya. Type nya ko? Mahilig pala sya sa unpopular employee. My look is very simple, flat shoes, slacks pants, at pink plain blouse. I always wear my glasses kasi malabo na talaga mata ko. I have long straight hair na alaga sa rebond, kasi medyo makapal buhok ko na kelangan talaga ng parlor treatment. Pero sabi ng mga friends ko, I have beautiful eyes. Captivating sabi nga nila.. pero my glasses hide those eyes. Sexy daw ako sabi din nila pero wala daw makakakita nun kasi hindi ako "showy". I always make sure guys will not do second glance at me, I do not like guy's attention which other girls are craving for. Kaya nga nakakagulat ang email ni Sir Marcus.

I saw Sir Marcus walking through my computer's screen and he's walking towards me. OMG! I do not like this eksena. I do not like him, at wala ako balak magpacute sa kanya.

"Ms. Vasquez, please go to my office. Mukhang mas ok na lapitan na lang kita dito kesa naman bigyan mo ulit ng kulay ang email ko." un lang at umalis na sya pabalik sa cubicle nya.

Ano ba yun? Ang sungit naman. What did i do wrong? Ayoko ng eksena pero as of now almost all of the employees are looking at me, some are smiling but mostly have question marks in there faces.

Nagmadali na kong pumunta sa cubicle ni Sir Marcus para matakasan ang mga panuring mata ng mga officemates ko. Bantulot pa ako kung didiretso ako sa loob pero bigla syang nagsalita.

"Ms. Vasquez, do not waste my time in playing hide and seek. Just come inside and we will talk." ma-awtoridad nyang sambit. Dali-dali akong pumasok at nakita kong nakahalukipkip ang mga braso nya at mukhang hindi talaga ang maganda mood nya habang naghihintay sa akin.

Pero gwapong gwapo pa rin sya tignan sa blue long sleeves with matching black slacks. His hair looks very free flowing, ung tipong kung hahaba eh ang shiny shiny talaga. His face is perfectly created by God. Boy next door talaga ang hitsura pero sabi ko nga, hindi ko sya type. Aminado akong hot sya pero again, not my type of guy. Balitang balita ang pagiging serious nya at suplado sa girls. Ahhhh.. baka bakla. But why he's asking me out?

"Sir my problema po ba?" ang sabi ko para mabasag ang katahimikan.

"Are you free tonight?"

I was stunned. Same question like on his email. OMG, type nya talaga ako?

"Sir sorry ha, but don't get me wrong. Pero hindi kita type eh. Kahit wala ako gagawin this night, I will not go out on a date with you. Yung friend ko, si Cheena, un type ka nya Sir. Pero not me talaga. Gwapo ka Sir pero please wag po ako" tuloy tuloy na sabi ko, pero napansin kong unti-unting ngumingisi si Sir Marcus at ayon tumawa na sya ng malakas.

"You know what, Ms. Vasquez, you are so funny. Hindi ka lang pala assuming, madaldal ka pa. Hindi obvious sa mahinhin mong porma." mapainsultong saad nya.

"Sir?"

"Please be ready tonight, we have a group meeting regarding our SLEX project. Please before replying to the email, read carefully. I'm not asking you out. It will be GROUP MEETING. No romantic dinner or whatsoever." yun lang at nagsimula na ulit syang humarap sa computer hudyat na hindi nya na ako kailangan at pwede na ko umalis.

I walk like a zombie back to my table. I start working na mukhang zombie na rin. Napahiya ako! Ayoko ng eksena. Ayoko ng spotlight. I just want to work and perform well at work. Pero ngaun, mukha akong artista na pinag-uusapan ng buong opisina.
