Beautiful Art

Brianna Huangco's POV

I start stamping my feet on the floor and scream even my throat is aching, when I felt the butterflies gamboling inside my stomach. Good thing that this condo is sound proof so that I won't garble anyone on this floor.

This day is exceptional. A lot of things just happened with senator. I don't even know why am I feeling excited and seems like I want to see him more. Even when his co-politicians intimidate me earlier, my feelings just turned into ecstatic with just a simple sympathetic of him.

I just got so excited and delighted to think that I made him again a lunch the other day. But I decided to make something extraordinary. I grilled a steak and roasted a sweet potatoes with cilantro pesto. I didn't thought of bringing him a rice since I've been thinking about his diet. I should ask him about his nutrition diet next time. Or to Ashley if not.

I'm feeling carefree today in my white graphic shirt that I tuck-in to my marti overlap button skirt. I wear a white sneakers to be comfortable and just a tote bag for my things.

"Iba ata mood mo, Anna?" Kio suddenly asked leaning on the counter table, watching me preparing the pack lunch. Manager sent him this time.

"Ano bang mood ko?" I asked trying to play with him.

"Ewan sayo. Susumbong kita kay manager, nakikipag date ka na," he threaten.

"Excuse me, sabi nya kaya bagay kami," I said and pout my lips.

"Bagay?" His brows frowned like he's thinking. "Hala, Anna. Si senator ba 'yan?"

"Hm-uhm," I answered with a smile on my face.

It's already around 11 AM when we got into senator's office. We parked at the back of the building so that people wouldn't recognize me dahil maraming tao ngayon. May hearing ata or somewhat. I left kio and my bodyguard inside my artista van dahil hindi naman na ako magtatagal sa loob.

Hindi na ako dumaan ng reception area dahil alam ko na kung saan ang office ni senator,at dumaretso na ako sa office nya. Nakita ko si Amelia na kalalabas lang ng office ni senator. She was about to inform senator that I'm here but I immediately hushed her. She giggled when she knew that I'll be surprising senator.

"I told you, Amelia, I'm busy. You can have your early lunch if you want," he said facing his papers, not knowing who came in.

"Oh, really? Sayang naman yung dala kong lunch," I said, acting disappointed.

"Anna! You're here. Sorry, I didn't know. Come in," he said panicking again like the last time. I chuckled and walk towards him.

"I brought you lunch again. If you're busy, you can eat it later naman," I said as I placed the lunch bag on his table. Hindi na ako tumabi sa kanya, hindi katulad nung nakaraan dahil aalis rin naman ako kaagad.

"No, it's ok. Let's eat it now," he said. I smile deep inside me, knowing that he wants to share it again with me.

"Actually aalis na din kasi ako, eh. I have shoot pa kasi," I said with a smile.

"Ganon?" He said, sounded dismay. "Saan shooting nyo?"

"This time, in Laguna. Last shoot ko na ngayon, then the rest sa kanila na," I said feeling delight and relief.

"That's great. Alright then, thanks for the lunch," he said then pointed the lunch bag with his ballpen.

"Aight! I'll go na, bye," I said full of astonishment then turn my back at him.

"No kiss?" I smiled when I heard him mumbled.

I turn to him again and his face was like there is something he's hiding. Umikot ako sa table nya papunta sa kanya at hinalikan sya sa pisngi. Saglit pa syang nagulat pero agad ding nakabawi at yumuko ng bahagya para itago ang ngiti.
