(COMPLETED) MR. SERIES 5: Mr. Snatcher

Its already 5:35 at wala pang nag papakitang Cardo. I am already very hungry. Hindi ko alam pero medyo kinabahan ako na baka hindi siya bumalik.

What about if Ill throw my first bait at him today. I'll bring him to a fancy restaurant. Ill order only expensive dishes. Tingnan natin if he will eat my kind of foods. Then that means he is in the same society as I am.

"Mam, andito na po ako, kanina pa sana ako kaso medyo kinumbinsi ko pa si kuya guard na maiwan ko yung mga bagahe ko sa baba. Pasensya po..."

"Its ok,, its still 5:35 so you are actually not late. Your call time is 6pm, just that you pronounced kanina that you'll be here at 5:30."

"Ano po yun mam ang dami hung english eh..." at napakamot sa batok

That gesture of him is really cute. He never fail to impress me. Now he is wearing a white shirt na parang mumurahin at isang jeans na ganun din. Ok, now Im thinking that he really is poor. Pero alam ko lang talagang tumingin ng damit . But him wearing those doesnt seem lowclass if youll look at his totality.

"I am gonna call one of my drivers t0 send your stuff to my penthouse. I mean tatawagan ko ang isa kong driver para ihatid ang mga gamit mo sa penthouse. Ngayun naman, gutom na ako so sama tayong kakain."

I then stood up and walked gracefully in front of him and that should send a signal to him to follow me.

When we reached the front area of the building my range rover immediately came in front of us.

Cardo opened the back seat for me and then went to the front area beside the driver to sit there. How did he knew that? how did he know that he is not suppose to sit with the boss...? Nanahimik nalang ako. Kasi kung palagi ko siyang tatanungin baka makahalata siya. So, I should play dumb about his simple gestures that will show he knows how to handle the corporate world. Mas malalaman ko ngayun sa dinner namin.

"ang ganda ho dito mam mukhang mamahalin..."

"yeah its a french restaurant. Sigurado akong ymagugustuhan mo ang mga pagkain. Ang sasarap parang lasang pinoy lang. Nakakain ka naba ng ibang cuisine? I mean yung pagkain na especialty ng ibang bansa?" I will continue baiting him....

"ay hindi po mam, nakikita ko lang sa mga pelikuka sa TV. Pero wala ho akong pili sa pag kain. kahit ano naman po kinakain ko."

The waiter then came to us and I said our orders...Ill make sure to get dishes that are not normal for Filipinos, so when he will eat those then that means. His taste-buds is for the upper society.

"get us one Beef bourguignon, Coq au vin, Clapassade and Encornets farcis for dessert get us buche de noel and creme brulee. White wine for me and champagne for him." ngumiti ako sa waiter then gave him back the menu. Tingnan natin ngayon how he will respond to these foods.

"So Cardo, sa pag tira mo sa penthouse ko. make sure hindi ka makalat. I never liked people who are messy I mean ayaw ko sa makalat. Theres TV in your room. So as long as you arent going to do anything then sa kwarto mo ikaw mag lalagi. Pwedi narin kitang e libre ng pag kain. May mga stocks ako palagi so pwedi kang magluto siguraduhin mo lang na mag liligpit ka pag ka tapos. Ok?"

"ay wala po kayong problema sa akin mam. Hindi rin ho ako palakain. At susundin ko po yung sabi nyo. Doon po ako sa kwarto."

Dumating na ang mga orders namin and wala akong nakikitang pag ka mangha sa mukha niya. Kung typical na pinoy na hindi mahilig sa fine dinings sigurado akong mamamangha ka when its your first time...diba? Well...this is getting more and more intriguing.

nag sisimula na kaming kumain. Im watching him through my peripheral vision.

"ahhh mam hindi po pamilyar sa akin tong mga pagkain nyo pero e ta-try ko po mam basta wala po akong pili sa pagkain. Kahit ano po talaga kaya kong kainin. Ang sasarap hu nitong tingnan."

"cge kain ka lang... I dont eat a lot. So go on..." I was looking at him having a lot of  Clapassade. Imposibleng he is liking lamb meat kaagad..

"ahhh mam...sarap ho nito baka ho ito o baboy?"

"ayyyy hindi...lamb yan. Karnero."

"ayyy ganun po ba? masarap ho pala noh?" kinuha nya ang champagne imbes na tubig ang inumin niya. So he really understands the totality of this meal.

"sarap hu nitong beer mam hindi naman matapang..."

After I gave my credit card. We are now heading home. When we reach the floor of my penthouse.

"ok, so this is my floor. I opened my door using my card and he didnt even questioned. Normally, dapat ma shock siya or mamangha kasi kadalasan susi naman ang ginagamit." thats something

"mam salamat hu sa libre nyong pabahay sakin mam. Sisiguraduhin ko pong maayos ang pag babantay ko sa inyu. Aayusin ko po ang pagiging body guard ko sa inyu."

"alright..its past 8 so I wont be coming out from my room anymore. You can stay in yours too. Not unless you want anything in the fridge."

Nang makapasok ako sa kwarto. I immediately went to shower to freshen up for the long day. I closed my eyes as water from the shower reached my body... biglang pumasok sa isip ko ang mga labi ni Cardo... His grey eyes. His delicate skin.. his .... oh shit! I shouldn't be fantasizing about him! this is ridiculous!

Pag katapos kong maligo. I wore a night gown. I dont normally wear bra inside... Its my normal attire for sleeping...

I am considering to sleep early so I can wake up early for my board meeting tomorrow, pero di ko maintindihan why the thought that Cardo is in the other room became so disturbing to me.. How did he possibly managed to be a snatcher when thats how he looks? is it just that.. looks can be deceiving?
