Chase 5

Vernilla's Pov:

The picture's got me thinking. Anong pictures bang sinasabi niya? After he kissed me, he left to accompany an investor but I can definitely see him from where I am sitting.

And why the hell is he kissing me again? Nakakailan na siya ha! At matapos niya akong halikan, mas pipiliin niya pa iyong haliparot na investor na iyan!

Kitang-kita sa gilid ng mga mata ko ang pinaggagawa ng babaeng yon! Halatang nagpapacute ito at grabe ang hawak nito sa braso ni Drake! 

Parang tuko at parang isang higad na mahirap alisin sa katawan! At bakit ba ako nagagalit? Hindi ako nagagalit! Bwisit na Jarvis na yan!

"Tulala ka riyan." Doon ko lang napansing nakabalik na si Type. 

"W-Wala. Bakit daw tumawag?" I asked him.

"Ah.. It concerns her album launching. Sorry Illa but I really have to go now. Send the proposal to my office, I'll sign it by tomorrow." Sabi nito at nagmamadali.

Tumango naman ako, "Pipirmahan mo na? Di ka ba nagdududa sa akin or may doubts ka ba sa proposal?" I asked.

"I know it'll be successful. I trust you. I'll see you next time." He said and kissed my cheeks. Nakita kong nagmamadaling umalis ito. Naramdaman ko naman ang mga matatalim na titig na iyon sa malayo. 

I sighed. My work here is done. I was about to go when he suddenly called despite the fact that we are in the same venue. "Come with me."

"For what?" I asked rudely. "I mean you are obviously with an investor, why don't you try to mingle with her?" Baka nga maging kayo niyan sa sobrang higpit ng hawak sayo.. I silently thought at bwisit na bwisit sa nakikita ko.

"You should come with me. I know you haven't taken your lunch, after this business proposal, I'm all yours." Sabi nito.

"I am sorry but I have to excuse myself. I need to go. I'll dine with myself and you are not a possession, you own yourself and I don't own you. We don't own each other." Binabaan ko ito ng tawag. 

I fixed my stuff to finally go home. I glanced at him but they were no longer there. At bakit ko ba tinitingnan sila? I should probably go. I already have no business here to deal with.

Naghintay ako na may dumaang taxi. Kanina lang ako naghihintay pero wala talagang dumarating. 

I decided to call one, I was about to call when a car stopped in front of me. Kumunot ang noo ko nong bumaba ang tinted window at nakita ko sa loob ang gagong lalaking nanghahalik na lang bigla. "Get inside." 

Tinaasan ko ito ng kilay, "Inuutusan mo ko?" I asked.

He smiled. "No, I am trying to pamper my love. The temperature is starting to rise, get inside, I don't want you to experience heat stroke." Nag-aalalang sabi nito. 

"I can manage myself." Sagot ko rito.

"Don't be stubborn, my love. No taxi would possibly drop here." He was right because I've waited for minutes now.

Wala na akong nagawa at pumasok sa sasakyan niya. Sa likod ako pumwesto at napansin kong di siya umuusad, "What? Nandito na ako di ba? Anong hinihintay mo?" Mataray na tanong ko.

"I want you here beside me, I want you to be as comfortable as possible." He said. 

"Anong pinagkaiba? Nandito naman ako sa likod. I am definitely in a comfortable position." I said in a matter of fact voice.

"I don't want to look like a driver." I can sense the frustration in his voice.

"Well, you are the driver." I replied with sarcasm. Napansin ko namang may mga sasakyan sa likod niyang naghihintay. "You should start moving, the other drivers are waiting for you to move now." Sabi ko rito.
