Di ko alam kung gaano na katagal nakabuka ang bibig ko.
Ako? Titira kasama ang magandang nilalang na to? Personal assistant?
Okay, una wala akong idea ano mga gagawin ko. Paano ko sya assist? As saang bagay? College din naman siguro sya diba? I mean WHY would he need an assistant?
"come on, nana. She doesnt like the offer. Let's go. You already paid her well" That guy Greyson said.
"stop Greyson let's hear her first."
I looked at my friends. Shock is also evident in their faces.
"I-uhm, how much will I pay for the rent?"
I asked unsure."di ka na magbabayad ng kahit ano, uhm--"
"Rocky. You can call me Rocky although my name is Raquel Dela Torre" i said.
"yes Rocky. As I was saying, di ka na magbabayad ng rent or whatsoever. We will take care of your school supplies and tuition. And everything you need. Allowance is also included dear, I figured kailangan mo talaga. But as i said, you will be Greyson's personal assistant."
This family is obviously rich. I thought. My friends mouths' are wide open hearing this negotiation.
"what are my duties? I mean, what will i do as an assistant?"
"im sorry to ask, pero kelangan ko po malaman. Baka may di po ako alam gawin."Ugh. Yah. Like duh? I dont have any idea.
"you can cook right you can atleast do the basic in house keeping right? I already did a background check on you"
"wha-- you what?" i stutter
"just tell us kung kukunin mo o hindi. Nakakainip na masyado" the freakin' Greyson said.
Ugh. Annoying. Kundi lang sya good looking siguro bwisit na ko in a higher level as I am now.
I looked him in the eyes and said'"okay deal. I will take the offer".
Without breaking our eye contact. I can hear the glee in Gretchen's voice saying congratulations to me as I am about to continue college. And 3rd year na ko sa kursong physical theraphy.
Muffled conversations are going around me. But for the longest time of my life have i never stared into someones' eyes this long.
Who really are you Greyson.
What kind of person are you.
Or should I say what kind of boss are you.The staring contest between me and Greyson popped when her Nana spoke.
"oh! I almost forgot, we havent had any proper introductions."
She reached out to my hand for a hanshake and said "I'm Melanie you can also call me Nana from now on". And she gave me the sweetest smile.
We shook hands and i simply said "Rocky" as I smiled back at her.
"I'm Greyson. Greyson Fordinian." he said as both of his hands are on his pockets. My friends Sandro and Gretchen fell silent to hear his name. Well sino ba naman hindi magugulat
Fordinian. They are rich bastards. If were rich before, well damn because they are much much richer.
Then the thought came to me. I am studying at their own College. The College school that they own!
"Greyson! Hands out for a hand shake!" nana scolded him.
'nakakailang hampas kaya to si nana kay Greyson sa isang araw?' i thought to myself.Then Greyson reached out his hand to me and we shake hands locking eyes with each other.
"call me Grey." he said with a smug on his face.
"Rock--"
"Rocky. Yeah I know I heard it a couple of times."
"so nana can we go now?"So impatient. I frowned.
"wait, just let me get your number first for our personal contact." sabi ni nana sakin.
I blushed. Nakakahiya pano ko sasabihin wala kong phone. Isinangla ko iphone ko pang headstart before i started working. That's why.
"uhm, wala po sya phone." Damn Gretchen cant cotrol her mouth.
I tightly shut my eyes and open it up.
"oh.." nana said unsure of what to say next.
"just give me your address. Para makaalis na kami dito." Greyson said.
Ugh. Then i gave them my current apartment adress.
'crush sana kita kundi ka lang grumpy! Hmp'I shake my head still flirty even with my condition. Then after that, Nana gave me a hug and another thank you message and then left.
May natitira pa kong 1week before mag start ang pasukan.
Yung totoo? Di pa ko ready. Never as in never dumaan sa isip ko na mag aaral ako ng ganito. In a short period of time. Geez.
"giiiirl!!! Excited ako para sayo!"
"Gretch ano ba kanina ka pa hampas ng hampas sakin habang tumitili." inis na sabi ni Sandro.
Bahagya naman akong napatawa sa kanila. Bagay talaga sila.
"tss, napaka bummer mo naman. So anyways, Rocky alam mo napaka swerte mo sana ako nalang yung sumapak sa batok nung matandang yun kung alam ko lang ganito pala kalaki yung kapalit HAHAHAHA"
"hey Gretch! Manners!" natatawang saway ko sa kaniya. She's crazy most of the time it's funny.
"sino mag aakala na Fordinian pa maka encounter mo. Grabe." iling ni Sandro
"yah. Di ko rin inakala. It's so unreal. Mag aaral ako ulit." parang di parin nag sisink in sakin.
"pero maiba ako ha, grabe ang HOT ng magiging boss mo! As in H.O.T Hot! Ano kaya ipapagawa nya sayo sa bahay? Hilutin mo sya? Hihihi o kaya paliguan-- ARAY!" Kinurot sya ni Sandro sa pisngi.
Natatawa naman ako sa mga sinabi ni Gretchen. Well at the same time napaisip ako, ano nga ba mga gagawin ko sa bahay na yun. Kasama sya.
I wonder.
