KABANATA 5

"What are you doing here? I thought that was the last of our meeting." Matabang na sagot ko rito.

"You really think I'd give up on you that easily?" Sabi naman nito at mabilis kong iniwas ang aking paningin sa kanyang mesmerizing brown eyes. Ayokong mahigop na naman nito ang aking kaluluwa at baka mapapayag na lang niya ako bigla on whatever plans he have against his brother.

"I already said no, didn't I? Saan banda sa salitang iyon ang hindi mo naintindihan?" Malamig kong sagot.

"The entirety of that word, if you must know." Walang kaabog-abog nitong sagot that I was forced to look at his facial expression to see if he's serious or not. "I'm very aware that you badly need a job to provide for your family."

Since when did he start checking my personal background?

"And I badly need you to take that job for me." Kumunot muli ang noo ko hearing that from him.

"I'd take that job any time, Sir." Wala sa sariling sagot naman ng aking kaibigan.

"Thank you, Miss, but that job description fits your friend here perfectly." I don't want Sheena to know of the details ng trabahong iyon kaya hindi na ako nag-atubili pang hatakin itong greek god na ito palabas ng apartment namin.

"Pwede ba, huwag dito?" Pabulong kong usal sa kanya.

"Fine. Let's go to my place then." Agad naman nitong sagot.

"No. Masyadong malayo." Angal ko sa kanyang anyaya. Baka kung anong gawin ko sa kanya the next time we're left alone together. Ahem.

"Inside my car then?" He suggested.

"No. Masyadong intimate." Angal ko uli and I thought I saw him raised an eyebrow on me. Hindi ko na lang pinansin at nagpatuloy ako sa paglalakad. Again, hindi ako confident na mapipigilan ko ang sarili kong gawan siya ng kahalayan. For the first time in my life, ako naman itong gustong humalay ng lalaki.

Nang makarating kami sa isang bakanteng parke ay agad akong tumungo sa may bench at doon naupo. Sinundan naman kaagad ako ni greek god at agad na tinabihan. Sinalubong naman kaagad ako ng kanyang pabango. Sh*t, even this is not a good idea. Bakit ba ang bango-bango ng lalaking ito?

"Well then, Bendebel." The way he said my last name made it sounded so classy that it sent delicious shivers down my spine. Take note. DELICIOUS. Parang katulad niya. Ahem.

"Ngayong nandito na tayo in a place that's not so far from your apartment and not so intimate, pwede na ba tayong mag-usap?" Mala-prinsepe nitong tanong na tinanguhan ko na lang baka kasi tumabingi ang pagsagot ko't maging pabebe pa ako.

"I'd like to revise my proposal." I heard him say. Babaguhin niya ang proposal niya? Alin doon? The salary part or the job part?

"Actually, it's more like dinagdagan ko lang ang provisions ng kontrata." Napalingon ako nang wala sa oras pagkabigkas niya noon. Added provisions?

"I've already mentioned the nature of this proposal to you and it still stands hanggang ngayon. The only difference is now you can have your own sets of conditions to be fair naman sa side mo." Okay. So he's given me rights to set my own conditions. Right. But it's the point here though.

"So what's it gonna be?" Narinig kong tanong nito. His brown eyes were expecting a positive response from me.

"Una sa lahat, salamat sa pag-consider na mayroon din pala akong say sa kontratang pino-propose mo. Pangalawa, hindi naman iyon ang punto ko kung bakit tinanggihan kita in the first place." I saw him tilt his head as he quizzically stared at me.
