I Will Have You

I WILL HAVE YOU 4
(1.18.19)

The two women laughed when Leo introduced me as his girlfriend pero pakiramdam ko talaga ay ako ang pinagtatawanan nila. Sa halip na mainsulto, I took it as a challenge.

I am Eunice Telpace and no one can ridicule me.

"This is just a kid, Leo. Don't kid us because we're not going to buy your alibi. You just wanted to get rid of us and using this," the woman with a big boobs looked at me, "using this kid won't do you any good."

"At least your not as stupid as I think." Bulong ko na medyo malakas.

"Ano'ng sabi mo?" The flat chested one said.

"I think kilala ko kayo. I saw you in a hotel a month ago." Sila iyong dalawang natutulog sa hotel kung saan namin kinuha ang mga gamit ni Leo noon.

I looked up at Leo and saw him clenching his jaw. He remembered! Nice! Pinatulan talaga niya itong dalawang lowly alien na 'to. At magkasabay pa! I can't even imagine but I couldn't bring myself na mandiri kay Leo. Weird.

I pointed my finger on the flat chested one. "You're one of our model, right?" Kinunutan lang niya ako ng noo kaya tumawa ako. "Oh honey, you should start looking for another job from now on." Tapos ay binalingan ko iyong isa. "And you," I looked at her from head to toe. "You're a fake. Those boobs, hips and even your lips and nose," napailing ako at napapalatak.

"From the beginning, you know where you stand. Now what's this?" Leo's voice was cold and with warning.

"What? Ipagpapalit mo kami sa batang 'to?"

Nagpanting ang tenga ko sa narinig. "Excuse me lang pero lahat ng meron kayo ay meron din ako. How about you? Do you have everything that I have like money, name and..." sinadya kong bitinin ang sinasabi ko para kumapit sa braso ni Leo then shrugged my shoulder at the woman.

"You—"

"President," from our back emerges a tall man. He's not that bad but he looks older than Leo and good looking too.

"I'll leave this matter to you, Kristoff." Iyon lang at hinila na ako ni Leo palabas.

Nang lingunin ko ang pinanggalingan namin ay nakita kong pigil noong Kristoff iyong dalawang babae. Napairap na lang ako.

Nang tuluyan kaming makalabas ay iwinaksi ko ang kamay ni Leo na nakahawak sa akin tapos ay hinarap ko siya.

"You know what, Mr. Madrigal. I don't really like men who jumps from one woman to another. In short, iyong kagaya mo. I just can't seem to get you out of my mind because you grope my boobs and stole my first kiss. But I have to move on kasi tama ka, I'm still young. I'm just a kid like what you've said."

I paused as I stared at him. Ang guwapo talaga ni Leo. It's just a pity that he's a jerk and not ready for a serious relationship. Well, ako rin naman. Though I wanted to be in one, I'm still young for it.

"I'm sorry for the mess, Eunice. Babawi ako. Where do you want to go? I'll make it up to you." His voice was gentle this time. And I was so naguluhan bigla.

I smiled at him. Parang biglang may nagbago sa kaniya. It's like for the first time, he saw me...

... he ever saw me.

I smiled at him. "This is so immature but Leo, can you please kiss me properly?" I'm still a kid no matter what so maybe, I am still allowed to be this childish.

I saw him creased his brows. Tinitigan niya ako ng matagal ng walang sinasabi, tila nananantiya kung seryoso ba ako sa sinabi ko. As if naman I would joke at times like this.
