SKIPPER

I'm busy checking on my mails while waiting outside Tricia's office. 

"Sir, you may come in," Tricia's secretary smiled at me then motioned the door of her office. 

I smiled back at the polite lady then got on my feet.

With the bag of food containers in my hand, I went inside Tricia's office. I found her on her chair behind her glass office table. A wide smile formed my lips as our eyes met. 

While walking towards Tricia, I looked around her office. It's huge and spacious, painted in white and peach. On a side of the wall, expensive paintings were hanging, with their family portrait in the middle. There's an elegant and expensive-looking vase of flowers in every corner of her office. The office was filled with the fragrance of the flowers. 

Tricia's office was made of glass and flowers. I bet all were personal touches of the owner. It looks more of a greenhouse rather than an office. It was so relaxing that you can think of sitting on a cup of tea rather than working. 

Behind Tricia was a glass wall overlooking the city. And beside her table, her bodyguard was standing, with his eyes piercing through my soul. 

"Hi," Tricia smiled at me. She set aside the files on the side of her desk then she raised from her throne. She gracefully walked to meet me halfway her office then tiptoed for our cheek-to-cheek kiss. 

"I dropped by to see Trey to deliver Nanay's dishes," I smiled at her. I raised the paper bags on my hand. "Since you're also here, I've decided to brought you some as well." 

"That was so sweet," Tricia giggled. She placed her hand on my arm then led me towards the 'living room' side of her office. "Take a seat, please," she invited then motioned the cabriole sofa. 

"Justin, leave us," Tricia ordered. 

I looked back at the guy. Without expression, he moved and left us. 

I placed the bags on the glass coffee table then we sat slightly facing each other on the couch. 

"What do you have for me?" Tricia gently smiled at me. 

I chuckled. Easing her bodyguard's stoic face off my head. 

"Nanay's specialty. Kare-keare," I proudly said then reached for the food container. 

The moment I removed the cover, the mouth-watering aroma of Nanay's dish filled the air, replacing the gentle fragrance of the flowers. 

"Nakakagutom," Tricia chuckled. "Since I got here, I've been missing Mommy's cooking. Parati na lang mga restaurant's world class cuisines and nakakain ko dahil sa mga dinner meetings."

"You'll be home with this," I winked at her. "Nanay got the world's best kare-kare."

Tricia started eating. At her first spoon, she closed her eyes then softly moaned. 

My jaw clenched and I had to look away. Every time I'm with Tricia, I can't control my libido. 

Damn! 

I've been dreaming for this girl since I was a kid. And as I mature and age, she remained in my dreams and fantasies. 

"This is so good, Skipper!" Tricia exclaimed. S'ya na ang nagbukas ng container ng kanin at nagsimula na s'yang kumain. "I just realized na nagugutom pala ako," bahagyang tumawa s'ya. "It made me miss my Mommy so much."

Her parents stayed with Ate Tria to support her. Her younger siblings were with them. Si Tricia lang ang nandito sa Pilipinas para sa kumpanya nila.
