The Cold Billionaire

Chapter 22

After they watching movie and kumain saglit ay bumalik na uli sa opisina si Drei. Hindi sila nag iimikan ng matapos ang halik na iyon. Hindi na rin nya tinapos ang pelikula nag aya na syang kumain dahil hindi nya matagalan ang awkwardness na nararamdaman nya.

Bat bigla na lang syang nailang dito. Lumulukob sa ilong nya ang mabangong pabango nito at tila na hihipnotismong gusto nyang samyuhin ang leeg nito at panggigilan kaya bago pa man mangyari yon ay inaya na nya ito palabas at nauna ng tumayo rito. Tahimik naman itong nakasunod sa kanya.

Sky line Bar...

Hindi nya napigilang hindi lumabas at uminom. Nahihiwagaan sya sa nararamdaman nya. Ano bang nagyayari sa kanya. She shouldn't be feeling this way. Aminado syang malakas ang dating ni Drei at gayun din ang epekto nito sa kanya. E tetext nya sana ito ngunit naiwan yata nya ang cellphone nya sa kotse.

Ngunit si Baste lng ang Mahal nya. Nangako syang babalikan nya ito after their her divorce with Drei. Pero bakit pakiramdam nya may mali.

May kung anong ginising na kakaibang pakiramdam si Drei sa kanya after that kiss they shared. She felt something and hindi sya tanga para hindi maramdamang tila nawala sa pwesto nito ang puso nya. Isa pang nakakapag bagabag sa kanya ay ang sinabi nito. He would do everything in his power to make his woman stay. At sa paraan ng pagkakatingin nito sa kanya tila sinasabi nitong she was his woman.

She shook her head. She don't want to put meaning on it. Wala lng iyon. Maybe it was spurr of the moment that's why he kissed her there. Yeah, right she should think it that way. Wag syang assumera dahil baka mapahiya lng sya. Drei is known to be cold and unexpressive. But she knew he has a lot of women who swooning over him. Pusta pa nya makikipagpatayan ang mga iyon makuha lng ang posisyon nya. Ang maging asawa nito.

She grabbed the mojito and consumed all the contents in the glass. Then immediately the bitterness drew in her throat. Pero mas better ata yong buhay nya. She was trapped in a marriage and now she was feeling something awkward to his MIA husband after meeting him and being with him for damn two months.

Sunod sunod ang ginawa nyang pag inom hanggang pumungay ang mga mata nya.

"Why are you getting yourself drunk? Do you have any problem? " napatingala sya sa lalaking nagtatanong sa tabi nya.

Ngumiti sya ng mapagtantong it was Baste. Bat naroon sya sa bar na iyon. Nag ba bar na pala ito.

"I'm fine" sabay abot nya sa isa pang baso ng mojito.

He immediately restrained his hand and pulled the wine away from him. Se looked at the man in front of her in astonishment.

She felt dizzy as she stood up. She almost sank but he promptly caught her waist and carefully supported her.

She could feel the contact of their bodies. But unlike before, it seems that the familiar heat she feels before every time they touch each other is gone.

Marahan syang natawa hanggang sa nauwi iyon sa halakhak. What is really going on with her. Did she fall in love with that man.

She shook her head again and forcefully removes what is in her mind. She chuckled what a conceited brute he was kapag nalaman nito iyon. 

"I'm fine, Baste. What are you doing here" kapag kuwan ay tanong nya rito.

Instead of answering here he took her hand.

"Can we talk Madd?" He said, he was looking serious.

"Y-yeah sure, what is it?."

"Is it fine with you if can we talk somewhere, I have some important things to say to you." Ramdam nyang may kakaiba dito. Malungkot ang mga mata nito habang nakatingin sa kanya.
