Chapter 18

Sebastian's POV
“Can I talk to you, Sebastian 'the brother'?” Dalton said sarcastically. Pumunta kami malapit sa isang coffee shop. It's been a day since we got here. At mabuti nalang pinatawad ako ni Scariett. Natulog kami parehas ni Iñaki sa sala ng unit ni Scariett. Since she said that I must court her again, kahit miss na miss ko na siya, pinigilan ko ang nararamdaman ko.
Nang nasa coffee shop na kami, I cleared my throat. “What will we gonna talk about, Mister Dalton?” tanong ko.
He sipped his coffee, “do you know that Scariett and I had a truce? That if she's got into 28 and she doesn't have any boyfriend yet, we'll get married and become a family?” Napalunok ako sa sinabi niya. “But you came and ruin that truce.”
“Anong gusto mong sabihin?”
“Congratulations.”
“Huh?”
“Bro, teytegelogin ne kite...”
“Alam mo mas naguguluhan ako sa tagalog mo eh. Mag-english ka nalang.”
“OK. Bro, you don't even know that everyday, I saw Scariett silently cried. Kaheyt hindey niya sabiheyn that she was hurt, I can see it in his eyes. In fact, naaawa akow se kenye. I want you to love her and never hurt her again, or else, I will stole her from you, got it?!” napangiti ako sa kanya. “I like Scariett but she loves you more...so I will just accept the fact that we were not meant for each other. That we were just meant to be friends. Bro, I trust you. Don't hurt her again.”
“'Wag kang magalala. I will make sure that I will make her smile everyday and every night.”
“But I still can't forget the day you'd said that she is already married.”
“HAHAHAHA.”
“Keye pele ganun reaksyown mo because you like him at that time.”
“Ganun naman talaga 'di ba? Kapag gusto mo, gagawin mo ang lahat para mapasayo...so, friends?”
“Friends, bro!”
We shook each other's hand.
~•~
We are currently sitting here at the snow field. I'm hugging her from her back. “Thanks for forgiving me, babe.” I whispered.
“Didn't I tell you that, you must court me again, Sebastian?”
“Why?!”
“'Wag mo muna akong tawaging 'babe' because we are not yet in a relationship.”
“OK, Scariett my love. So, when will you going to answer me, again?!”
“Kapag... magpapakasal na tayo.” bigla akong napaharap sa kanya. She's so beautiful. I misses her face! “Bakit?”
“A-anong sabi mo?”
“Bawal ulit sa bingi.”
“Ghad!” I hugged her again so tightly. “Thank you, again and again.” I whispered.
“So when will be going back to the Philippines?”
“Bakit naman? Sinagot na ba ulit kita?”
“So kapag sinagot mo ulit ako, uuwi na tayo tsaka magpapakasal?”
“Mmm...”
I held her chin and will able to kiss her when she pushed my lips.
“I didn't answer you yet. No kiss, just hug.” Napangiti parin ako at niyakap siyang muli.
“Alam mo bang mas lalo mo 'kong pinapahulog sa mga sinasabi mo babe—Scariett, I should say.”
Namasyal kami sa iba't ibang part ng Britain. Malaki ang Britain kaya 'yung ilang piling lugar lang 'yung napuntahan namin. I am craving for her lips, her touch and her sweetness. Konti nalang, Sebastian! Konti nalang. Nararamdaman ko na. Kami nalang 'yung naiwan rito sa Britain since may klase si Iñaki, nauna na siyang umalis ng Britain. I decided to cook for her for dinner. I wore the apron. Since may heater naman sa loob ng bahay ay hindi na ako nagsweater, in fact, naiinitan nga ako dahil sa pagluluto kaya ko hinubad and t-shirt ko at naiwan lang ay ang apron at 'yung pangibaba ko.
“Oh my gad!” I heard her voice, and she hid beside the refrigerator.
“Don't hide there, Scariett. 'Wag ka ng mailang diyan.” I said teasingly.
“Eerr... what was that?”
“Why you can't look at me directly?” I asked seductively, and I turned off the cooker. Hindi ko tinanggal ang tingin sa kanya habang itinataas 'yung apron sa katawan ko.
“Stop seducing me!” she exclaimed without looking at me.
I moved closer to her. “I'm not seducing you slave. I'm just trying to bring back the pass. Naalala mo pa ba nung, nakita mo akong ginagawa ang bagay—”
“Stop! Stop!” she shouted while blushing.
“Payakap na nga lang...” I pulled her to me at niyakap siya ng mariin. “I love you, everyday.”
~•~
Lumipas pa ang tatlong araw nang kasalukuyan kaming naglalakad sa isang snow park.
“Let's go back at the Philippines.” she said that echoed inside my head.
“What did you say?”
“Let's go back at the Philippines.”
“GAD!” I shouted and carry her and hugged her tight.
“Se-”
“Does it mean that we are now into relationship again, babe?”
“Yes, Sebastian. Sinasagot na muli kita.”
“I love you.” I said at mabilis na kinabig ang labi niya. We kissed like we are just the person right there. Nilasap ang bawat halik habang napapatilt pa ang ulo namin. Inilagay ko ang aking kamay sa likuran ng ulo niya to deepen our kisses. “I love you babe...”
“I love you too, love.”
“Love?”
“I don't like that 'babe' anymore. It reminds me what happe—”
“Let's not think about it, love. Isa iyong panget na karanasan na dapat itinatapon na sa basurahan.”
“I was just thinking about her.”
“Who?”
“Si Cathleya. Ano na kayang nangyayari sa kanya after three years?”

Scariett's POV
Philippines....
This is the day I'll be going to be Mrs. Scariett Villaloboz Baron. Nakatingin ako sa repleksyon ko sa salamin. Ang ganda ko. My white dress is so elegant. I can't believe that this is now happening.
“Anak...” my mom said in teary eyes. “You look so beautiful.” she cried and hugged me.
“Thanks mom. Thanks for everything.”
“Kailan lang noong maliit ka pa habang inaayusan ka. And now, you're in front of me wearing that dress...huhuhu.”
“Mariel, stop crying. Alam naman nating darating ang panahon na ito.” sabi ni dad.
“But still...huhuhu!”
“'Wag kang umiyak mom. Pati ako naiiyak narin. Naku masisira 'yung mascara ko oh. Huhuhu!”
“Sorry anak, naooverwhelmed lang ako. Just always remember that mommy always loves you, huh?”
“Yes mom I love you too kahit marami akong nagawang kasalan. Sorry for being a bitch. Sorry for being a black sheep. Sorry for cussing you. Sorry for being rude, reckless, stubborn and bad I'm sorry... and thank you for being my parents.”
“Maam, OK na po ang lahat. Ang bride nalang po ang hinihintay.”
~•~
As the door opened, napatugtog agad 'yung A Thousand Years. Maraming visitors. Magisa kong nilakad ang red carpet. Ang bagal ng ginawa ko. Totoo ngang kapag kasal mo habang nagmamartsa ka ay babalik lahat sa utak mo ang nangyari.
[Flashbacks...]
“Before you talk to me, can you pleass wear your uhm, clothes first? Eeer?”
"Now, what are you doing to MY house?" he repeated, his voice is so... for bedroom.
"Excuse me mister, this is my house. It was the exact place where my dad said I'll be goin'!" I answered.
The guy smiled evily makes me so uncomfortable again. What the--- what's the meaning of that smile? Is he flirting with me? "So, you are her?" she questioned.
"What do you mean?"
He smirked arrogantly. "Well, kung sa tingin mo magiging bahay mo ito, nagkakamali ka. Pinalayas ka sa inyo hindi ba?"
"How do you know, jerk?"
"Jerk? Big word, baby!" in his last word, I felt like there's something tickled me. "By the way, my name is Sebastian, your boss, and you will be my maid!" He said and he leaved me alone speechlessly.
“Hoy slave, may pupuntahan ako, at ikaw, bantayan mo itong bahay. Clean my room and cook for dinner.” roon, lumabas siya ng bathroom with his towel covering his bottom part.
And there, I can't look at him again. “Magpapaluto ka tapos hindi mo rin kakainin. Duh, nasaan yung effort ko? Napunta lang sa wala.”
“The same condition, if you won't follow my instructions, I will burn your things. Isa pa, idagdag mo sa rules na bawal kang magreklamo!”
I just twirl my eyes. “Yaaass, ok? But wait, tinatanggap ko na bilang katulong mo but, can you give me an advance payment? You know, I need to go shopping.”
“HINDE!”
“What? So when can I get my payment?”
“Your payment is your rent for staying in my house!”
“No way!”
“Yes way!” Fucking sheet!
“Wag ka ng umarte, libre na ang makakain mo! Sobra sobra pa nga yung mga kinakain mo eh.”
“Why are you so bad? Kahit konting money lang?”
“Ok, I’ll think about it. But remember, do your job!”
“Ok! Ok, jerk!”
“Another rule,” she sat down on his bed and wear his polo attire. “Don't call me jerk, call me ‘boss’.” and he suddenly pull of that towel.
I turned back. “F-cking shit, Sebastian. May babae rito!” I exclaimed.
“Tss... Kasasabing boss itawag sakin di ba? Alam mo susunugin ko talaga iyong mga gamit mo.”
“Arrrgh, whatever pervert!” I shouted as I went out from the room.
-
“Ahhh...”
“Ahhh...”
Mabilis kong binuksan yung pinto. My body froze for what I saw. He is playing his... while moaning in pleasure, closed eyes at nakatingala.
My body became hotter and hotter, until, he opened his eyes, and shockingly covered his body.
“I- I said, lock the door!” He shouted.
I was just like stone, that can't talk and can't move.
“I-I’m sorry! I forgot to get some uhm,” tsaka ako pumunta sa may cabinet at kinuha yung kumot na puti. “I'm sorry!” And I locked the door while I’m still inside. Wait, my gosh! Baligtad. Inopen ko ulit tsaka pinindot yung luck and I closed it.
-
“U-uhm,” I sounded.
“About last night.” he said. I looked down because I can't look at him directly in his eyes. Ok na sana yung nakita kong video, but to caught him while doing that live, that is so so... embarrassing.
“Huh?” I asked.
“Just don't think, and stop thinking about it.”
“Ahh, ehh, OK?”
“Here,” he laid plenty of money on the table. “Go wherever you want today, I will allow you, just don't come home late.” he said.
.
“Sebastian, can you teach me how to swim, please?” I puppy eyes. Look at that expression, it was so priceless. If I wasn't acting by now, maybe I am now laughing. He's so cute when his face turns to red. Because the water was so clear, I looked at that lower part of him, and I saw the mountain. Hahaha, so I make him hard. “Sebastian, please?” I repeated.
“O-o-ok,” the way he stuttered was obviously that she’s attracted to me. She went towards me. “So what swim do you want to learn?”
“I want to learn floating? You know?" o
“Ok, I’ll hold your back and you keep on flipping your feet.”
Parang iba-bride style niya ako at now I’m floating floating. Actually, I know how to swim, eh. I keep on flipping my feet.
“I'm tired,” I said and stood up. I held his chest and looked at him directly. His eyes is oozing, just like saying that she wants me. For a moment, my heart started to beat faster. I was shocked when suddenly, he put his hands at my back and he pulled me closer, our face was about for an inches. I can feel his hot body, and the hard thing poking my tummy.
He was about to kiss me when I pulled him. I can see how he got disappointed. Umahon siya sa tubig at naglakad papalabas.
I held my chest, and it is still beating so fast.
Did I hurt his ego for pulling him when he was about to kiss me? Umahon rin ako sa tubig at naglakad papababa. When I'm infront of his room, I heard his loud moan.
“Tang ina! Aahhh...binitin mo ako... Ahhhh...kapag ikaw naging akin, araw araw tayong mag-sesex... Aaahhh, Scariett! I love you damn much! Aaahhh...”
.
“Bro, long time no see!”
“Kumusta na, tagal nating 'di nagkita ah?” they did flash bomb in their hands.
“Oh, who is this pretty lady with you, Sebastian?" The guy with an Adonis face and body asked. Ok, they are all looked handsome and hot. This Guy sounds like the voice I had talked awhile on Sebastian's phone.
“I'm Scariett, his mai—"
“She's my girlfriend,” Sebastian suddenly speaks. What the heck, me, his girlfriend? Yes I'm his maid and he likes me but doesn't mean that he's now my boyfriend. I looked at him and he is so serious.
“Pu ta bro, may girlfriend ka na naman," the other Guy said habang nakaakbay kay Helena.
.
“Hmm..." He tasted it. “It's good,” he said.
"Well, thank you.”
“Scariett, thank you for all of these." He said out of the blue. “I was bad to you this past months. Thank you, thank you."
“Stop thanking me. You know, it irritates me."
He smiled again, and continued to eat. After that he drunk his meds. “What if I court you, will you accept me?" He asked, and my heart started to beats so fast. And I felt that my blood risen up to my face.
“H-huh?"
“I want to court you. I want you, I want to be your man. You know, I'd been hiding this since the day you came here. I really want you...I love you.”
“U-uhm, ha?”
“Don't worry, I'm not forcing you to say yes. I will just wait 'till you say yes," he smiled genuinely and stood up. “I did now feel better because of your hug awhile," he said while getting the tray that I was about to bring back to the kitchen. “And as a gentleman, I'll not let you work inside my house. I don't want you to get tired.” Sabi niya na ikinagulat ko.
Is he really saying these things to me? Is he really Sebastian the jerk I had known? Is he really him? You know, I want to cry but I can't. I want to speak but my mouth stopped.
“Let's get there at the kitchen? Let's put these things?" My mouth dropped. “Scariett?” He said my name when he noticed that I hadn't something to speak. Pumunta kami sa kitchen. ”You didn't eat yet? Let me cook for you, if you don't mind." He said. “What do you want?” I was speechless at this time. Parang naubusan ako ng words.
“W-why are you a-acting like that?" I finally asked.
He looked directly into my eyes. His eyes was so beautiful. The way he looked at me, it's like, he looks at me with full of devotion. I really can feel that he really likes me. Kanina pa tumitibok ng mabilis at malakas ang dibdib ko.
He tacked in the hair in front of my face to the back of my ear. “I told you, I'll court you...because I really do want you.”
For the nth time, I was speechless again. He's the only man in my life that made me feel this way. He's different than Owen. He made me speechless everytime he speaks, everytime he looked into my eyes.
“I'll just cook for you, uhm, I'll cook caldereta.” he started to get some on the fridge.
“Sebastian..." I called his name, and he looked at me again. “Uhm, uh...uhm...uh...”
“What is it, Scariett?" He went near me and held my back.
“I...want you too... I like you.... I-I love you.” I saw his face turns to red, his reaction became shock and for a sudden, he looked up and smiled.
“Fu cking sheet!”
And fastly, he parted his lips on mine, and he started to kiss me with full of devotion, passion and intimate.
I started to move my lips as a respond.
.
“Happy 6th monthsary, babe.” he said sweetly while giving me the bouquet of flowers inside this restaurant that he rented for us, alone. He rented an orchestra that is currently playing my favorite song from Twilight, A Thousand Years.
I smiled at him and got the flowers. I smelled it and it so good. “Thanks babe,” sabi ko. I felt...comfortable! I am so complete! I have everything, money, face, family and him...my one and only.
“Can we dance, babe?” he stood up and giving his hand.
“Are you good in dancing?” I asked with a grin.
“Don’t underestimate me, babe. Kapag ikaw ang kasayaw ko, I will make sure that I will be the best dancer in the world.” he arrogantly said habang idinidipa pa 'yung kamay niya. He is really hot on his white long sleeves polo. 'Yung dalawang buttons sa taas ng polo niya ay unbuttoned, exposing his broad chest.
“Shhh, ang corny.” Hinawakan ko 'yung kamay niya at nagsayaw kami.
“Ano, babe? Ang galing ko 'di ba?”
“Oo na, kahit hindi nagtugma 'yung paa mo sa move mo. Haha.”
“Grabe ka ah.” The next thing happened was he hugged me so tight, while we are still dancing, following the rhythm and melody of the song. “I never thought that it could happen in my life. Parang wala na akong mahihiling pa kundi 'yung next yes mo.” he whispered.
“What do you mean?” Tanong ko.
He stopped dancing and looked into my eyes soulfully. Unti unti ay lumuluhod siya sa sahig. My emotion mixed. I don't know what to do, I don't know what to react. He brings out the ring case and opened it. “Scariett Villaloboz, will you be my forever?” Naiiyak na ako...nanginginig ang buo kong katawan. At hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko.
“Nakakainis ka, Se-Sebastian! Huhuhu!” iyak ko.
“W-why are you crying?!” tumayo siya at marahang hinagod ang likuran ko. “Stop babe, please don't cry.”
“You surprised me... Huhuhu.”
Niyakap niya ako. “Please say yes, babe. Please.”
“Yes.”
“YES!” I was shocked when he carry me and suddenly kissed me passionately. “I love you.”
“I love you too.”
“I love you so much.”
“I love you more.”
“I love you most. ” He kissed me again and we enjoyed the night.
[End of Flashbacks...]
All of the memories I'd shared with him, bumabalik 'yun sa utak ko dahilan ng pagiyak ko habang naglalakad.
