Chavelle

“U-uh Cha, tinatawagan na ako ni mama! Oo, tinatawagan na pala ako! Una na ako ha, babye!”peke siyang ngumiti at bago ko pa siya mapigilan ay naka alis na siya.

Susunod sana ako nang may biglang umubo.

“You are embarrassing me. Big time.” Nangunot ang kanyang noo, he folded his arms and his arms looked huge in that form.

I can’t believe that a billionare, handsome, has a good body, exists.

“S-“

“Just call me, Theaus or Ryker. But I prefer you call me…. “ he was looking at his shoes that time. Nang inangat niya ang kanyang mukha ay mayroon itong mapaglarong ngiti.

“Baby. I prefer you call me that.”

Is this for real? O nananaginip lang ako? Can somebody please wake me up?!

“S- Theaus. I don’t know if this is a joke or what pero I humbly ask you to stop messing with my mind. Please?”I was about to call him sir when his eyebrows creased.

“Jesus. How can I make you believe me?”

You can’t blame me! Isa siyang bilyonaryo, okay?

“I’m sorry but it just sounds so impossible.” I was awkwardly swaying back and forth while holding my bag in front of me. Nakasandal pa rin siya sa kotse niyang mamahalin.

“Okay okay. But can I take you home now? It’s so dark here, iniwan ka pa ng kaibigan mo.”

I was about to say no when he looked pissed. I was scared that’s why I stepped back. Biglang lumambot ang ekspresyon niya.

“No, I’m sorry. I won’t force you but I’d be very happy if you would let me take you home.” Ngayon ay sobrang rahan na ng boses niya. Walang bahid ng rahas.

Every news I heard about him was a lie! They said he was ruthless and strict. Pero sobrang bait niya naman. I guess they just want to make up stories to destroy someone na sobrang successful.

“O-okay po, sir. Pero sana ay hindi na maulit ito. Ma iissue ka po sa akin. I am a nobody. It would be embarra-“

“You’re embarrassed of me? Why sweetheart?” He looked hurt. Bakit hindi bagay sa kanya ang maging mabait? Ang mukha niya ay sumisigaw ng rahas. His stance is screaming power.

“No, sir. I just…..Waitress po ako. You’re a successful man. Hindi po ata bagay.” Mahina pa akong tumawa. Kumunot ang noo niya pero nang nakita niya akong tumawa ay napahinto siya at ngumiti.

“God, I can’t believe I’m so whipped like this.” Bulong niya ngunit narinig ko naman.

He raked his hands over his hair and it was disheveled. But he looked more majestic. Ang kanyang mata ay parang isang balon. Sobrang lalim.

“Come on, let me take you home sweetheart. I promise I won’t hurt you…..but if you’d ask, I’d gladly hurt you.”malisyoso niyang sabi at hindi ko namalayan na nasapak ko ang braso niya.

Nang narealize ko ang nagawa ko ay agad uminit ang pisngi ko. He looked shocked too pero ay ngumiti siya pagkatapos.

“I’m just kidding okay? Come on, let me take you home.” He opened his car and I was hesitant to go inside.

Kung ibang tao pa ito ay siguradong kanina pa ako tumakas but I don’t know with him. I feel safe actually.

Pagkatapos niyang isarado ang pinto ay umikot na siya papunta sa side niya. He looked so handsome while walking. Parang model. No, more than a model.

Pagkapasok niya, “We’re not in a cliché movie na isusuot ko pa ang seatbelt mo, sweetheart so please do it. I don’t want to be tempted.” Makahulugan niyang sabi.

“Right.” Bulong ko at isinuot na ito.

As he was driving, hindi ko nagustuhan ang katahimikan.

“Am I dreaming right now?” those were the words that came out of my mouth and I regret it.

He laughed, so heartily. Sobrang sarap pakinggan. I looked at his eyes and saw that it was genuine happiness. Habit ko na ang tumingin sa mata ng tao para malaman kung totoo ba itong masaya o hindi.

But his eyes looked…. really happy. I wonder why.

“No baby, you are not dreaming. You have made a billionare like you. Accept it.” The endearments he keeps on calling me is very cringey but when he’s the one saying it, parang ang sarap pakinggan.

“Why? Why me?” I can’t help but think na ituturing niya lang ako pareha sa ibang babae. Gagamitin at itatapon. I bet he just wants to get in my panties.

“No, I don’t want to go in your panties, sweetheart. I mean, I would love to pero hindi iyan ang gusto ko.”

Did I just say it out loud?

I can’t reply to what he said dahil sa kahihiyan. I just stayed silent and can’t help but smile.

Nang nakarating na kami sa harap ng bahay namin ay pinagbuksan niya pa ako. Inilahad niya ang kamay niya at wala akong choice kung hindi ay tanggapin ito.

“I’ll miss you, sweetheart. Please just accept it already. You whipped a handsome bachelor.” He laughed after what he said and I can’t help but laugh too.

Nang nagpaalam na siya ay tsaka pa ako pumasok sa bahay. But then, I realized something.

How the hell did he know my house?!
