THIS ONE'S FOR MAROON 5 AND BEHATI PRINSLOO.
Chapter Six.
"Big Deal"
I was pacing back and forth in my office. Hindi ako mapakali or maybe I'm just making a big deal about it. I can't believe that we kissed. Hah! Si Chance Lucas Sandoval binibig deal yung halik ni Eleanor. Can you believe that?
Believe me, it sucks.
I ran a hand through my hair na naging habit ko na ngayon. The moment I walked out of her condo, hindi na natanggal sa isip ko yun. That damn kiss. It got me smiling last night but now I'm being paranoid again.
Ano bang iniisip ni Eleanor at hinalikan niya ako?
I'm in a very vulnerable state right now. Gusto kong mag-care para sa isang babae kahit sino man siya but thinking about the past makes me scared. Damn, I've been a coward all my life. Pero hindi na talaga madaling magtiwala uli.
Lalo na kung ang gusto mong pagkatiwalaan ay isang Eleanor Kai Gonzales. Now I don't know if I should regret our meeting after that Engagement Party. Why did I even let her in my life?
Magulo na ang buhay ko simula kay Nathalia, sumunod si Monique at si Lourd. I'm not that ready to welcome another chaos in my life.
Eleanor is dangerous the moment I learned her name. The moment I heard Mr. Gonzales' stories about her. The moment I saw her on a Social gathering in an elegant black dress. The moment I met her personally. Everything about her is dangerous.
Especially that kiss. That freaking kiss be damned.
"Ugh." Napaupo ako sa swivel chair at minasahe ang sentido ko. "Claire." I called for my secretary again. Dahan-dahan namang pumasok si Claire sa office ko, staring at me cautiously. Kung moody ako noon, mas napapadalas ata ang mood swings ko ngayon.
Bakit? Dahil kay Eleanor.
"Yes, Sir?"
"I need coffee. A damn coffee." Napatikom ang bibig niya as she watched me cuss.
"Ri-right away, Sir Chance." Umalis na agad siya. Ito na ata ang pangatlo kong kape na hiningi kay Claire. She probably thinks I'm having a nervous breakdown by now. Heck, I don't even care.
Bakit nga ba ako nagkakape? Dahil din kay Eleanor.
Seriously, lahat ba ng nangyayari sa mundo dahil sa kanya?
Nasapo ko ang noo ko. Don't be OA, Chance. Hindi naman siya ang dahilan ng global warming at kahirapan.
"Sir, ito na po." Nilapag ni Claire ang kape katabi nung 2 pang cups of coffee na hindi ko naman naubos kaya lumamig na lang. Umalis na siya at nakipagtitigan lang muna ako sa cup bago naisipang inumin na lang yun.
