When Playboy Meets The Odd

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

MONSERRAT

"Bravo!" Pumalakpak ako. Sage came out from the store. Wala na masyadong customer dahil gabi na nga. She walk towards me and rolled her eyes.

"Why are you still here?" She looked at menacing my gaze. Napailing-iling ito. "I saw you yawning. If you're sleepy you can just go home."

"I'm not sleepy." She raised her brow from my remark. "I fell asleep for an hour and I'm fully awake now." I said.

Sinimangutan niya ako. "Good for you!" Inis niyang sabi.

Napatingin ako sa kanyang bag. Malaki iyon at mukhang puro damit. I pulled her and took tha bag from her.

"What are you doing?!" I am now carrying her bag.

"The hero must be tired! Ako na ang magdadala, okay?" Pang-aasar ko pa dito.

She gave a sigh. "I'm not tired, okay?" Aniya at pilit na kinuha ang bag. I didn't let her take it. Lumapit pa siya sakin. Our chest almost touched.

"Uh, you smell like chicken." Asar ko. She immediately pushed me and smell herself. I am not lying though. She really smells like chicken.

Palihim akong natawa. So this is one of the consequences of having to work there, huh?

"I am?" Inamoy amoy niya pa ang sarili niya. "Fuck." Mura niya nang maamoy ang sarili.

"Hey, don't curse." Saway ko. "Do you have other clothes?" Tanong ko pa.

She shooked her head. "Ito na lang ang damit ko. Can I please have my bag? Ibigay mo na kasi sakin! Don't try too hard, okay?" She tried to grab the bag but I didn't let her.

"I am trying too hard? Whatever you say, Miss. Ano ba ang kukunin? Ako na ang kukuha." I put the bag in front of me and opened it. Bumungad sa akin magulong laman nito. "You're pretty organized." Asar ko.

"Stop meddling with my things!" She pushed my hand away from her bag at siya na mismo ang kumuha ng kailangan niya.

She grabbed a small bottle of perfume. Kaagad siyang nagspray sa kanyang wrist at sa leeg. I closed her bag.

"Sa tingin mo ba matatanggal ang amoy sa paganyan-ganyan lang?" She looked at me annoyed.

"What do you know?"

I pulled her and grabbed the bottle. Nagulat man ay wala na siyang nagawa nang paikot-ikotin ko siya at pinaliguan sa pabango.

"Ano ba?! You're wasting my precious perfume!" Anito. I stopped spraying perfume and smell the bottle. Napatango naman ako sa naamoy. It's smell pretty captivating. Rose?

Sage angrily grabbed the perfume from my hand. Tinignan niya ang laman nito. She gave me a glared and put the bottle inside her bag as she tried to pull the bag again. I immediately stopped her.

"Ako na nga eh!" Sabi ko dito.

"Ugh! You're so annoying!" Reklamo niya. Natatawa ko naman siyang tinitigan. She's wearing a usual high waist jeans and a cropped top. Kung hindi mo pa makikita ang babaeng ito sa fast food ay hindi mo malalaman na nagtatrabaho pala siya dun.

I pulled her closer and smell her. Agad niya naman akong tinulak. "Okay na. You smell good." Sabi ko.

She yawned. "Inaantok ka na-"

"I am not!" Asik niya. Kumunot ang noo ko.

"Bakit ba lahat ng sinasabi ko kinokontra mo?" Tanong ko.

"Because you're annoying!" Anito. I massage my temples.

"O sige! Kung hindi ka inaantok. Let's go somewehere." I said and pulled her to the nearest restaurant at the other side of the road.
