He's Not Mine To Keep [COMPLETED]

Chapter 24

*Chapter 24*

"You're hired." I smiled at what Avi said.

"Thank goodness," umupo ako sa swing dito sa garden.

"Don't tell me kinabahan ka pa na baka hindi ka matanggap?" Inagaw niya saakin ang kape ko na hinayaan ko nalang. I'm in too good mood to argue with her.

"Not really, I just had doubts." I answered.

"Lola Georgina recommended you. No doubt they will hire you." Yep, all thanks to lola. Iba nga talaga ang nagagawa ng may 'kapit'.

"But do you really want to teach in a public high school? I mean, pwede naman sa Middleton? I'm sure matatanggap ka 'dun."

"Tsk! Hindi mo ba alam? Mas mataas sweldo ng mga teachers sa public schools at mas marami ring beneficiaries." I said as a matter of fact.

"Really, huh? Mas mataas sa sweldo ng teachers sa Middleton?" She smirked.

"Well," tumawa siya nang wala na akong maidugtong doon.

"Oh come on, Paris. You can tell me the truth. Besides, I'm your walking diary, right?" Kinindatan pa niya ako. I just rolled my eyes.

"Fine! It's just that, I am not that confident yet to teach there. Besides, Middleton is a big shot college school."

"Oooh, Paris Hernandez losing her confidence? Magpapa-party na ba ako?" Pang-aasar pa niya.

"Oh shut up," I just said.

Wala sa sarili nanaman akong napatingin sa phone ko. Aargh! Hindi pa rin nagpaparamdam ang gagong Rum na 'yon. Kung bukas ay hindi pa rin siya magpaparamdam, talagang susugod na talaga ako sa mansyon ng nga Escareal para kunin ang mga anak ko. I miss them so damn much!

"Why don't you just call him? Kesa nagtitiis ka diyan na maghintay nang walang kasiguraduhan." Avi suggested.

"Ayoko," I answered. Baka iba nanaman maka-sagot. Tss

"Bakit? Takot kang may ibang makasagot?" Avi teased that made me glare at her. Oo na, basang-basa mo na ako. Tsk!

Napatingin ako sa relo ko. It's already 5pm.

"Get your ass up. We still have a charity ball to attend." Sabi ko nalang at tumayo na.

"Wait, don't you think dapat may mga partner tayo na pumunta?"

"If you want to bring kuya Rocco with you, bring him. I'm fine being alone."

"No hell way!" She exclaimed. I just smirked. Ayaw mo naman pala eh.

(Rage's Point of View)

"Oh! Mas maaga pa kayo sa inaasahan ko ah! Kala ko ba sobrang pagod kayo?" Ang sarap sapakin nito.

Ginala ko ang tingin ko sa paligid.

"Where's the kids?" I asked.

"Kararating mo lang, ang mga anak ko agad ang hanap mo. Magtatampo na ba ako, 'lil bro?" Inakbayan pa ako ng gago.

"'Lil bro? What the fuck?" Tinawanan niya lang ako. Do I look like little to him?

"Totoo naman ah! You're my 'lil bro. Ang cute kaya! And the twins are already sleeping, by the way, thanks for asking." Hindi ko nalang siya pinansin at agad nahiga sa mahabang sofa. Aaah, finally, I can now sleep.

"Hey, another 'lil bro. How's your flight?" Rinig kong sabi nanaman ni kuya Rum.

"Get your hands off, bastard! I am so damn tired to argue with you. I need to fucking rest. Wala akong maayos na tulog ng dalawa't kalahating araw and it is your darn fault!" Kuya Rocco shouted at him na tinawanan lang ni kuya Rum. Jerk!
