The Devil's Angel

Meeting the Father

Chapter 9

Hindi ko halos makilala ang sarili ko sa salamin. Kaya pala ako pinadaan ni Rage sa opisina nya ay para makilala ang isang sikat na stylist. He said we should getting used to call each others first name. So, I called him Rage, and he called me Cassie. Inayusan lang ng bahagya ang buhok ko at nag fit ng iba't-ibang gown from formal to semi-formal at casual. Halos malula ako sa dami. Ang napili ng stylist na isuot ko ngaun ay semi-formal, peach dress. At 3 inches close toe shoes. Light make up lang daw ay ok na. There is like a penthouse sa RSL Towers. Located sa pinaka mataas na floor above ng CEO'S office. Sakop nya ang isang buong floor kaya medyo malawak ito. Mnimalist lang ang design at maaliwalas. Mostly black and white lang ang color. Bagay na bagay sa personality ng may-ari. I saw my luggages sa living room. I was informed that Rage is often staying here so it means na dito din siguro ako mag stay.

"Uhuurrmm.." bahagyang tumikhim si Geneva ang stylist na nag ayos sa akin. Actually she is well known dahil stylist din sya sa mga celebrities, models at sa kilalang mayayamang tao sa lipunan. "Satisfied with the look, actually I don't have to put much effort on you. You're already gorgeous and natural." Sabay ngiti nya sa akin.

"Thank you.." gusto ko naman talaga yung kinalabasan simple lang nga at halos natural na enhance kung anong meron ako. "Actually you look gorgeous too, pwede kang maging modelo at artista." Ngumiti lang ito.

"I have a lot of offers, pati mga indecent proposals hahaha, but I prefer to work with my true passion."

May kumatok sa pinto na ikinatigil ng pagkwekentuhan namin. Ng buksan ito ni Geneva, I saw the most attractive man I've ever met on this earth. With his blue long sleeve na nakatupi hanggang siko at naka tuck-in black trousers at black leather shoes.

RAGE POV

I knock on the door. We need to be there before 7pm on our ancestral home in Tagaytay. The dinner is set, and I am about to introduce Cassie as my wife. This is what I am talking about being 1 step ahead of them. As I enter the room I almost drop my jaw. There she is. The most innocent girl that I've ever meet. I admit that I am attractive to her. That is why she's the one I choose after seing her picture. I saw how beautiful she is, and more beautiful in person. But ofcourse I wont admit it to her face. It's a win, win situation for the both of us and it is more in my advantage.

"Why don't you take a pic? It will last longer, you know?." After I saw that she is drooling over me. I smirk while she's gathering her composure and I see her natural pinkish cheeks, blush a bit more.

"W-what?" OMG Cassidy, tumulo ba laway mo? I mentally slap my face.

"Lets go, I don't want us to get caught on traffic." At nauna na itong lumabas sa pinto. Sumunod na lang sya. Nagpaalam at nagpasalamat sya kay Geneva na kasalukuyang nag liligpit ng mga gamit nito.

I saw him outside the pent house waiting in front of the elevator. Yung personal elevator nya lang ang tanging nakakaabot dito sa penthouse. It has it's security feauture. You have to put your hand in the monitor para ma-access ang floor ng penthouse. Ganun din sa pagbaba. Wala kaming imikan habang lulan ng elevator. His expensive cologne is all over the small space. Ano kayang brand ng pabango ito. Masarap sa ilong. Hindi nakakahilo.

Ding! Hindi ko nadinig na nasa basement parking na kami. Tumikhim ito para maagaw ang pansin ko.

"Ayy ano brand ng pabango mo?" Nagulat ako dahil bigla nyang hinila ang kamay ko. Shit! Nakakahiya, did I say that loud. Nakita kong natigilan din sya at tumitig sa akin.

"What?" He just ask and face me.

"Ahh hehe wala! Tara na.. matraffic diba?" Nauna na akong naglakad. As I look he is walking to the opposite direction of the parking lot. I immediately follow him. OMG ano bang kahihiyan to!

Akala ko dalawa lang kaming sa sasakyan. But I saw Carl was going to drive us. Bahagya lang itong tumango sa amin at pinagbukas na kami ng pinto.

"If we meet the old man. Let me handle all the questions, you don't have to say anything just act like a sweetheart" He said without even looking at me. He is just leaning on the leather sit, closing his eyes. I thought he was sleeping. As I glance, I saw how perfect his face even in the side view. Parang walang pores. Bigla itong dumilat at lumingon. Nahuli nya akong nakatitig sa kanya.

"Understood?" He ask and I just nod. He  closes his eyes again and back to his position. I just look at the window and watch the busy street of the metro.

It's almost dark when we reach the highlands of tagaytay. There I saw an ark, it says Villa Catalina. Malawak ang lupain at mapuno ang paligid ng sementadong daan na may mga lamp post. Maliwanag kahit lumatag na ang dilim. Parang mas magandang maglakad-lakad sa gabi. I saw a glass mansion sitting in the middle of a green lawn. Napakaliwanag at napaka ganda. Akala mo ay isang salaming kastilyo sa gitna ng kaharian. Huminto kami sa entrada na may malaking kahoy na pinto. Nakabukas na ito at nakaabang ang isang matandang babae. Pagbaba namin may mga unipormadong gwardiya ang sumalubong at bumati sa bandang kanan ay may guard house pala.

"Magandang gabi señorito, sa inyo din ho ma'am! Magalang na bati ng may edad ng babae. Pasok ho kau. Hinahanda na po ang hapag kainan. Sabi ho ng Papa nyo ay tumuloy daw ho muna kau sa library.

"Salamat, Nana Cita." Sabi ni Rage. Bahagya lang akong tumango at ngumiti na din sa matanda. Nagulat ako ng hapitin nya ako sa aking bewang.

"T-teka lang.." saglit akong huminto at tumingala sa kanya.. sa height kong 5"5  ngaun ko lang napagtanto na mas mataas pala talaga sya ng di hamak sa akin. Tingin ko nga ay nasa mahigit na anim na talampakan ang taas nya.

"Just act like a sweeheart ok." Bahagyang lumapit ang ulo nya sa aking tenga ay bumulong. I felt a tingling sensation. The warm breath fanning my ears and neck send an electricity bolt all over my senses. OMG mangingisay ata ako. Ano bang pakiramdam to. Bahagya akong umiwas ngunit mahigpit talaga ang akap nya sa bewang ko. Bahagya pa itong pumisil-pisil. Na lalong nakadagdag sa sensasyong nagpapakilabot sa akin.

"Look babe." Pilit nyang ngiti sa akin. But I saw the movement of his jaw. "There is surveillance camera everywhere, may I just remind you to act as we planned, ok,?" Sabay halik sa labi ko. Mabilis lang iyon at hindi lalagpas sa limang segundo. Ngunit ramdam kong umakyat lahat ng dugo sa aking mukha. That was my first kiss!

"Good evening Rage, and this woman you're with!
