When Playboy Meets The Odd

CHAPTER THIRTY

SAGE

Tulala akong nakatingin sa salamin. I can't believe what I'm seeing right now.

"Ako ba to?" Tanong ko sa sarili ko. My hair is so disheveled. Kalat na kalat ang makeup ko!

Hinubad ko ang dress. I put on a robe. Dumiretso ako sa kusina at uminom ng tubig.

How did I end up in my room? Napatanong ako sa aking utak. I don't remember calling a taxi or walking in the hallway wearing my dress.

Inisip ko ang nangyari kagabi. I went to the party. I drank some wine. Nalasing ba ako ng dahil dun?

I shooked my head. Nope. I still remember talking to Antonio after that.

Napahawak ako sa labi ko. Shit. I suddenly remember that scene. We kissed! We just kissed! He kissed me, I kissed him!

Kill me now.

Naupo ako sa counter. I can still clearly imagine how does it feel like. I can't believe I just had my first kiss!

His lips were so soft. Does mine feels soft too?

I kissed my hand to feel whether my lips were soft. Is it?

I shrugged the thoughts away. Bakit ko pa to iniisip? So what if we kissed! It's just skin to skin!

But it's not though?

Napasabunot ako sa buhok ko sa mga naiisip. Tumayo ako at ginawa na lang ang usual routine ko.

Napatalon ako ng marealize na may pasok nga pala ako. W.T.H!

I immediately look at the clock and it's 9 in the morning! I looked at my schedule. I need to be at the store now!

9 a.m. ang pasok ko!

I immediately went to bathroom and washed myself. Parang pakiramdam ko pa nga I'm still dirty because I just took a bath like 10 minutes.

I brushed my teeth faster. I didn't eat any breakfast. I'm so damn late!

Sinuot ko na ang uniform ko so I'll work straightahead. Bahala na kung mag-amoy usok because of the traffic.

Nakarating ako sa store at 9:30. Thank goodness it's just thirty minutes. I've never been this late! My Manager might scold me na kahit pa hindi niya naman ako pinapagalitan.

"Huy! Bakit ganyan basa pa ang buhok mo?" Salubong sa akin ni Macky. Winston looked at me from her remark.

"10 ba ang schedule mo?" Asked Winston. I shooked my head.

"No. 9." Nanlaki ang mata ni Macky. Dumiretso ako sa locker ko at ibinaba ang bag. I immediately went to the counter to take orders.

"Paano yan? Basa pa ang buhok mo hindi ka pa pwedeng magpuyod! Baka pagalitan ka ni Ma'am-" Macky suddenly stopped talking.

The Manager came out the kicthen and met my eyes. Winston continue what he's doing at ganun din si Macky.

Hinarap ko ang Manager who eyed me. "Sorry, I'm late." I said. The Manager looked at me like she's thinking her line.

She cleared her throat. "Magsuklay ka muna bago kumuha ng orders. Kahit huwag ka munang magpuyod. Huwag ka lang munang pumasok sa kitchen." She said and went in the counter to help others serve.

I followed what she said and went to the locker room. Nagsuklay ako gaya ng sabi niya. I don't have any makeup even though I will be talking to people today. Nagmamadali na kasi.

Lumabas ako at dumiretso sa mahabang pila. I began taking their orders. Sunod-sunod rin naman ang galaw ng line so I didn't have the time to focus on other things.
