Be Mine, Attorney

⚖️ Chapter V ⚖️

Zoei's POV

I'm silently eating my meal here at the restaurant. Pero tong kasama ko, di ata nauubusan ng salita. Bwisit na Zven to, balak atang gawing business meeting ang lunch namin. They're discussing about their next project and stuff.

"I'm just curious Mr. Zamora, is attorney your girlfriend?" tanong ni Venus - the woman who is with Tatcher. She's a surgeon- the top in her field. But sometimes she models that's why she looks familiar. Nakita ko siguro siya sa isang magazine. Ang ganda niya tas ang ganda ng figure niya.

Nakakainggit.

Inakbayan naman ako ni Zven habang nakangiti. "Bagay ba kami Doc?" ika niya.

Tinignan ko naman ang kaibigan ko ng masama. Anong balak ng tukmol na to? "No maam. We're friends" I answered her question sabay inalis ang kamay ni Zven na nakaakbay sa akin.

"How about you doc, are you and Mr. Williams, you know, in a relationship?" Zven playfully asked. Chismosa rin ang isang to.

Tumawa naman si Venus. "No. But I wish so. Sad to say ay may iba atang gusto tong si Marcus" makahulugang saad niya while looking at me. Anong gustong iparating ng babaeng to?

I stopped eating. Nawalan ata ako ng gana. Hindi ko alam kung bat kanina pa ako tinititigan ni Tatcher. It's just so awkward. "I'll just go to the ladies room" I excused myself.

Mabilis kong tinahak ang daan patunong comfort room. Nakahinga ako ng maluwag pagkapasok ko. I look at myself through the mirror. Ang haggard ng itsura ko. Why would I meet him again? Sinumpa ko na siya at lahat dahil sa ginawa niya. He's the main reason I have sleepless nights.

I suddenly remembered the scene at the coffee shop- the reason why I am so mad at him.

FLASHBACK (Coffee shop scene)

"Are you threatening me, Mr Williams? Really? " tanong ko. May pa Shut up or I will lavish your lips" pa siyang nalalaman , nakakalimutan ba nito na I am a lawyer? And also, I'm not afraid of his threat. "Give me my files" saad ko na may inis sa boses.

Inutusan naman niya ung bodyguard niya na ibigay ang hinihiling ko. The car started move. Ilang minuto pa at wala ni isa sa amin ang nagsasalita. This silence is giving me creeps.

"Bababa na ako. I don't need your help." Pinutol ko ang katahimikan.

Tinignan niya lang ako ng matalim. It's like saying that I should not continue speaking.

But those stares will not stop me. "Ano ba! This can be filed as kidnapping and harassment! Stop this car or else I'll sue all of you!" tumaas na ang boses ko. I don't care kung mukhang takot na ung driver sa akin. I can't tolerate this kind of behavior. I don't even know this man that much.

"Shut up" he just answered. Lalong kumulo ang dugo ko. Ayaw kong naiistorbo ako lalo na at super busy ako. Madami akong nakatambak na trabaho.

"You!" I pointed at the driver. I'm really angry right now. This is just a small thing, bat kailangan pa akong pakialaman ni Tatcher? "Stop this car right now! Stop it or else- "

Biglang naputol ang sinasabi ko nang higitin ng hudas na Tatcher and claimed my lips. The heck! He's freekin kissing me. Hindi ako nakagalaw. I'm beyond shocked at what is happening right now.

In fairness, his lips are soft and his breath smells so good. But why I am having butterflies in my stomach? This feeling is something new to me.

Natauhan ako when he started to move his lips and bit my lips to seek for entrance.

Hindi ko na napigilan at hinanda ko ang aking kamao and I punched him hard. Real hard.

"Fuck!" bulalas niya at hinawakan ang panga niya. Halatang nasaktan. Good job, Zoei. Bagay lang yan sayong hudas ka.

Biglang tumigil ang sinasakyan namin dahil nagulat din ata ang driver niya sa ginawa ko. Hindi ko na pinalagpas ang pagkakataon at bigla akong bumaba sa sasakyan. Bago ako tumakbo ay sinigawan ko siya. " May araw ka rin sa aking hudas ka!" saad ko. Mabilis akong pumara ng taxi dahil kailangan ko ng pumunta sa office.

Pagkasakay ko ay pinunasan ko ang labi ko. Hudas iyon. Bwisit. Masunog sana siya sa impiyerno. I admit, may crush ako sa kanya nung college - who would not be? He's freakin smart! Natalo pa nga nila ang team ko during our university debate. But that's all! Crush lang. Ni hindi ko nga siya masyadong kilala at never kaming nag usap ever since. Feeling close ang putek.

Pero kahit anong punas ko ay hindi pa rin nawawala ung feeling ng pagdampi ng labi niya sa akin. Gosh, this is not good.

END OF FLASHBACK

---------------------

Itinali ang buhok ko then took a deep breath. Pero bigla akong napahawak sa sentido ko because my head is hurting. I really need to rest.

After washing my hands, I decided to go back. I will tell Zven to bring me to my office dahil sumasama na ang pakiramdam ko. Medyo nahihilo ako. Pagkabukas ko ng pintuan ng cr ay nakita ko si Tatcher. What is he doing here?

Lalampasan ko na sana siya ng bigla niya akong hinigit. "Don't you dare run away from me again, lady . May atraso ka pa sa akin. That punch hurts" sabi niya while looking directly at my eyes.

Lalo pa atang sumakit ang ulo ko."Excuse me lang ha mister. IKAW ang may atraso sa akin. How dare you kiss me?! That's plain harassment! Tsaka, bat mo ba ako pinapakialaman? The last time I checked, we're not even close" I answered him.

Galit ko siyang tinignan. Tinanggal ko ang pagkakahawak niya sa akin at tinalikuran siya. Maglalakad na sana ako pabalik sa table namin nang bigla siyang magsalita.

"You're right we're not close. But I don't care if you are mad at what I did to you.

I just can't help myself to care for you ever since the first time I met you" sabi niya.

Natigilan ako.

What did he just said? I turned around to look at him. Sasagutin ko na sana siya nang biglang nagdilim ang paningin ko.

"Zven" mahina kong saad. I seek for my friend's help.

Tatcher's arms caught me before I lose my consciousness. "I'm here yet you ask for his help.Fuck. Just great" those are the last words I heard.
