Bad Romance: Taming The Hot Mayor

Chapter 5

EVERYONE is busy preparing for the house. The red carpet is already settled on the floor. The food and the tiny details of the welcome party. It's all done.

"Okay guys! Raquel is now home! Let's get ready!" Olivia whispered on her friends.

"One..."

"Two..."

"Three..."

Then the door open.

"WELCOME HOME RAQUEL DEL MONTE!" then a party music started.

"Wow! Just wow!" nakangiting saad ni Raquel. She hugs her cousin Olivia and kissed her cheeks.

"Thank you so much cousin, you never fail to made me feel welcome in the Philippines."

"Of course couz, ako pa ba? I invited all our batch mates in high school."

Napalingon si Raquel sa paligid. She's really touched.

May mga mukhang nakilala niya kaya't kinawayan niya ang mga 'to at meron din namang hindi ngunit nginitian niya parin.

"Guys enjoy the food okay? I'll be back in a minute!" and Raquel held Olivia's hand.

Hinila niya ang pinsan papunta sa kaniyang kwarto.

Pagkapasok nila ay agad niyang hinubad ang kaniyang heels.

"Oh ghad. I feel so exhausted." aniya at naghubad din ng cardigan.

"Okay na ba si tito?" natigilan si Raquel at umiling.

"Well, dad is in coma. I came back here to look after our business. After all mahalaga parin kay daddy ang mga 'yon."

Tumango-tango si Olivia.

"Kamusta na nga pala si Isaac? I heard he won the election."

"Yep, your ultimate crush is now your daddy's enemy. Wala na talaga kayong pag-asa couz." umikot ang mga mata ni Raquel at pumasok sa loob ng bathroom niya.

Agad siyang nag-shower at nagbihis ng semi-formal na dress.

Pagkalabas niya'y tinignan niya si Olivia.

"I want too see him tomorrow. Would you mind if you'll come with me?" napangiti si Olivia.

"I remembered how Isaac likes you so much. Sayang at kinalaban niya ang daddy mo sa election."

"He dreamt to become a politician couz. He told me that when we're still dating. Pwede naman siguro namin ibalik ang nakaraan right? Wala si daddy dito and I don't want him to came back here. Mahirap na."

"I doubt that, he said he hates you the last time you saw each other right?"

Natigilan si Raquel at napatango.

It happened a year ago.

Isaac likes her so much at that time. They dated. Pero nang mabalitaan ng daddy ni Raquel na nagdadate sila her dad immediately warned her to stop seeing her because of political issues.

She told him the truth and Isaac was mad and accused her na paasa siya.

After that they'll met again, before she flew to abroad. She tried to convinced him about long distance relationship but instead Isaac answered her with a cold eyes.

"I just want to fvck you Raquel, nothing more, nothing less. If I can't fvck you it's not my lose. It's yours."

She was hurt. Deeply hurt pero hindi niya na lang inisip 'yon.
