#CTG30 Chapter 30

"So... do you need anything right now?" Iñigo asked.

My lips were parted. Shit... Did I really just do it?! Did I ask him to be my fucking slave?! Why did I use the term slaveanyway? Kasalanan 'to ni Lui! He made the word buddysound so... dirty!

"Cha?" ulit niya.

Pasimple kong kinurot ang palad ko. "Wala," mabilis kong sagot. I suddenly felt cold as I was only wearing my pajamas and it's still so early. "Sige..." sabi ko sabay talikod.

Mabilis akong naglakad. Shit, Cha! Did you really just do it? Did you ask Iñigo to be your slave? And did he just agree?!

"So, how will this work? Itetext mo ba ako? O may call time ba ako?" tanong niya na parang may tono ng panunukso. "May written contract ba 'to o binding na 'yung verbal agreement?"

I pursed my lips and gritted my teeth.

"Later," I dismissively said. I needed coffee. I needed caffeine. I needed to ponder over what I did today!

Akala ko ay makaka-takas na ako pero naramdaman ko na lang na naglalakad na siya kasabay ko. "Do we discuss the provisions or will this be a contract of adhesion?"

My God, I needed coffee. Less than 10 minutes of talking with Iñigo and my headache was back. This really was a bad decision on my part. I partly blame Lui for putting such idea in my head. And that couple for pushing me over the edge.

"You draft the contract," I said. "And we'll discuss it."

"Nah, you draft it."

"No, you do it."

Sabay kaming huminto sa paglalakad at tumingin sa isa't-isa.

"Contra proferentem," he said, looking at me, his brow slightly arched. "Where a promise, agreement or is , the preferred meaning should be the one that works against the interests of the party who provided the wording."

I rolled my eyes. "Fine, I'll draft it! Nakaka-hiya naman sa akin na nagrereview."

Bahagya siyang tumawa. "Joke lang," sabi niya na naka-ngiti. "I'll draft it... Para saan pa na slave mo ako," he said, using air quotations as he said the word slave.

I begged myself not to roll my eyes, but the force was just so strong. Kaya naman inirapan ko siya bago ako tumalikod at nagpa-tuloy sa paglalakad. I walked faster this time, really wanting to get away from him and to go back to my condo and catch a power nap bago pumunta sa review center.

"Yun pa rin ang number ko!" rinig kong malakas na sabi niya. "Text me if you need anything!"

Mabilis akong bumalik sa condo ko. I tried to sleep, but sleep eluded me! I gave up and just made myself a strong cup of coffee and took a half-bath. Pagdating ko sa review center, bigla akong nainis nang makita ko iyong mukha ni Lui. He's the reason behind this! Friends with benefits my ass! As if I could ask Iñigo to be that! Hindi pa naman ako nababaliw!

Thankfully, dumating na iyong lecturer namin kaya naman naging busy na ako. The whole day, I was so engaged with reviewing that when I returned to my condo, agad akong naka-tulog. Nagising lang ako nang marinig kong nagriring iyong telephone. Half-asleep, I answered it.

"Good evening, Ms. Viste," greeted the receptionist. "Someone's here asking for you, though he's not included in your visitor list."

Wala naman akong visitor list—ah, wait. Si Jax. And Rory. But mostly Jax only since hindi naman lumalabas na ng unit niya si Rory.
