Feelings

***

It was almost mid february and I just realised Valentine's day is fast approaching and there, I just remember how Shaun surprise me on that special day. I can still remember every single detail he made to make that simple day so special. Just thinking of those happy thoughts made me so emotional right now. I just can't believe he wasn't here to celebrate it with me. I thought things will last forever but it isn't. Forever isn't in my vocabulary now.

It was a hot, friday afternoon and as always, subsob ulit sa mga papeles na nasa ibabaw ng table ko. What's new about that? Nasasanay na naman ako sa ganoon since Fiona gave the position of being the Senior Architect of this firm. Hindi naman sa nagrereklamo, nag eenjoy nga ako sa ginagawa ko. I was engrosed checking the plans on the autocad software on my computer when someone barged into my office. Feeling ko pumunta lahat ng dugo ko sa ulo ko sa sobrang inis. I really hate people barging into my territory. Nakakainis!

"Will you just take an appointment with my secretary before barging into my office?!" I can't hold myself from raising my voice while I'm still checking the plans. Naiinis ako eh! Nakakabwiset lang kasi wala namang respeto. Privacy please! "And will you please learn to knock..."

"Even if it's me?" I frozed in my tracks as I heared that voice. I lift my head and faced the person who barged unto my office whose happened to be my boyfriend, Shaun.

"Even if it's you." I raised my eyebrows like a bitch. "Learn to respect the Senior Architect."

"I have something to discuss with the Senior Architect that's why I am here." He shot back. He wasn't even intimidated with my bitchy eyes.

"Look, I'm busy and did my secretary know you about barging in? I don't tolerate this kind of attitude even you're my boyfriend. You have to respect the fact that we're in the time of work." I rolled my eyes in annoyance. Hindi ko intensyon na sabihin iyon sa kanya kaya lang mainit lang ang dugo ko. Kanina pa ako naiinis sa mga plans na maraming mali-mali. Sa simpleng mga requirements doon pa nagkakamali. Haaay nakakatuyo talaga ng dugo!

"Why not call your secretary on your intercom then? I think she had forgoten to tell you about this." He smirks at me. Kung hindi ka lang talaga gwapo eh nasigawan na talaga kita. Baka masisante ka pa. Who knows?

"Kung hindi lang talaga kita boyfriend, siguradong kanina na kita napagalitan at nasermonan." I let a deep sigh escaped unto my mouth and spoke again. "Still, I did made a big exemption on you." I reached my intercom and asked my secretary.

"I'm really sorry ma'am nakalimutan kong sabihin sa inyo na may pag-uusapan kayo ni Sir Shaun tungkol sa condo project nyo with Miss Guidotti. Hindi ko agad na take-note sa inyo. Pinapasok ko na lang po siya agad." Ugh!

"Okay fine." I stood up and faced my smirking boyfriend. Bakit ba ang gwapo nya? Para bang hinay-hinay na kumalma ang kumukulo kong dugo pag ginaganyan nya ako. Ang laki talaga ng epekto nya sa akin. "Now what are you smirking about?" I narrowed my eyes, feeling intruded by this beautiful young man.

He leans closer to me and massaged my wrinkled forehead. "You're face are so restless, muñequita. Why not take a break?" He murmurs against my lips. His minty breath tickles my skin and I wanted to close the small gap between us. I know, that isn't right but, I wanted to. I really fight the urge not to.

"What do you want to talk about with Ms. Guidotti's project?" I shifted the subject, looking into his majestic brown eyes. Ah sh-t those eyes... Those majestic brown eyes that I fell for.
