I was walking towards the VIP room nang napansin ko ang isang babaeng nakangiti sa mga customer.

Fuck, so pretty. Her eyes were all shining and her smile…… her smile is addictive.

“Who’s the girl serving at table 14 earlier?” I asked one of the waitress.

“P-po? Ah! Si Chavelle Quintessa po iyon. Bakit po?” this girl is familiar. I think I have seen her with her parents before.

And what a nice name….Chavelle Quintessa.

“Yes, her. Tell her that I want her to come here.” Kahit naguguluhan ay tumango ito.

I was patiently waiting for her. Nang pumasok na siya, I was automatically mesmerized. She was so cute in their uniform even though she looked awkward.

I want her.

Kahit hindi ko ugaling ulitin ang mga sinasabi ko, fuck, I repeated everything! Kahit ayoko namang mabaliw sa isang babae, she is driving me crazy. Her sweet voice is attacking my system.

When I let her go out agad kong tinawagan ang isa sa mga tracer na kilala ko. “Chavelle Quintessa Araneza, find her house for me. Quickly.” Pagbaba ko nito ay agad akong lumabas nang restaurant. I saw her chatting happily with someone. It seems that she doesn’r care about what happenes huh.

I was so damn tempted when we were inside the car. I have never felt frustatrated my whole life. Lahat ng babae ay kusang lumalapit sa akin and how is she not attracted to me?!

Hindi man lang siya nagtanong kung paano ko nalaman ang bahay niya.

“Sir, hindi ka po ba papasok ngayon?”

“No, cancel all the meetings. I have something important to do.” Damn, I just want to spend time with her.

The drive to the restaurant was so long, she was playing with her damn lips and I couldn’t control myself. I kissed her and fuck it, I wanted more.

Lahat ng hindi ko kayang gawin ay nagawa ko. I asked her out on a date and I did everything for her to believe me. That I wasn’t playing around.

But Cassidy had to break everything up.

Maldives and Greece with her was so surreal. When I became her boyfriend….hindi ko naintindihan ang nararamdaman ko. I wanted to take her and make love to her all day pero ayokong biglain siya.

But boy she was a tease. When I took her, hindi ko maipaliwanag ang sayang naramdaman ko. Hindi ko inakalang mararamdaman ko ito sa isang babae.

But everything wasn’t perfect. Her mother died and Cassidy fucked up again.

Sinubukan kong magpaliwang pero sarado ang isip niya. I have never begged for someone in my entire life but seeing her walk away made me look stupid.

I tried to find her pero someone’s blocking me. Someone is hiding her. Ilang tao na ang sinubukan kong ipahanap siya but I realized…..what if she doesn’t want to be found.

I moved on…..sinubukan ko si Cassidy. In the first place, mom arranged me with her.

Pero isang kita ko lang sa kanya, every wall I built broke down. I am still…..madly in love with her.

“Cass, you go first. I’ll…. Stay here.” Sabi ko sa kanya nung nasa restaurant kami.

“What? Are you crazy, Thaeus? I thought we were already doing fine. She doesn’t care about you, okay? Baka nga asawa na niya yung lalaki kanina.”

“Shut up. Please just go.” Hindi ko na siya tinignan. She cursed me before going out.

Hindi ko inexpect na makakausap ko siya ulit. God, how I missed her.

I asked about her husband and she didn’t deny. Fuck, she really is married.

I tried to beg but…..She doesn’t care huh.

It was her friend’s birthday and we were invited pero hindi ako pumunta. I’m sure Cassidy will be there at ayoko ng gulo.

I was just chilling in the bar when I saw her dancing like a mad woman in the middle of the dance floor. A lot of eyes were staring at her.

“Pare, pustahan. Maikakama ko yang babaeng yan ngayon. Ano game?” He pointed Chavelle at kumulo ang dugo ko.

“Do it and you’re dead boy.” Singit ko sa usapan nila. They were just petite young boys kaya ay natakot sila.

Damn, I didn’t know she could dance.

Alam kong kasalanan ang magustuhan siya dahil may asawa na but fuck. I just want her to be mine, bakit ang hirap?

And my heart rejoiced when her drunk self blurted out that she isn’t married. I want an explanation from her pero agad siyang nawalan ng malay. Inom ng inom hindi naman pala kaya.

Bringing her to my condo was a huge temptation but I don’t want to take advantage of her.

I was utterly shock nang may tumawag at boses ng bata ang sumagot.

“Hello?”

“Hi, what’s your name little boy?” I was expecting that he was her child.

“Ah I don’t give names to strangers po. Is Tita Chavelle around?” Tita? Who is this child? Is he Marielle’s?

“She’s sleeping kid.” He just said okay ang hanged up.

Everything was going smoothly.

“Ako na muna dyan….” I looked at her nametag. “Chichi.”

“Ha?sir nako wag na po, kaya na namin to.” But I insisted. Napansin ko kasing hindi masyadong marami ang waitress dito lalo na’t iba pa ang chefs.

And while I was asking orders, which is impossible for me to do but I did it, she entered the restaurant with two kids having the same face!

She already has kids? Fuck……

But still, I was willing to accept the kids and treat them my own but Chavelle had another surprise.

The kids are mine. Goddamnit. How could she keep all of this?!

Hearing them say Daddy was the best. I never knew having a daughter and son feels amazing.

“Thaeus you are mine! Ipinangako ka sa akin ni Tita and you should follow her!”nanggagalaiting sigaw ni Cassidy.

Chavelle and the kida were outside, probably soothing Forrest.

“It was an empty promise iha. I’m sorry if I made you assume.” Pangsusumamo ni mama ngunit hindi ito nakinig.

“Hindi ko kayo hahayaang maging masaya!I’ll ruin that whore!”agad kong binato ang wine glass na hawak.

“I dare you to that, Cassidy. I fucking dare you to do it. Ngayon mismo!”I am livid. She has called my sweetheart a whore, in front of the kids and now shouting it to me.

Nagulat siya sa pagkabasag ng baso. “I-Iha let’s just go. Decianna you made Cassidy assume and now she’s hurting because of your lies!” si mama naman ay nanatiling walang emosyon sa mukha. How high her pride is.

“Before everything turns red, I respectfully ask you to leave.” Nagpipigil kong sabi.

“You will regret this!”sigaw ni Cassidy before leaving.

And yes, a part of me regretted it. My dear Serenity got kidnapped.

I called my Tito who has one of the best protection agency. Mga propesyonal ang nauna doon kaya ay sumenyas ako bago pumasok. There were snipers around.

I acted calm but deep down gusto ko nang bugbugin si Cassidy, if only she wasn’t a girl.

Kreios is my cousin. Well, very distant cousin pero pinsan ko pa rin siya.

When Chavelle got shot, of course I was worried pero naalala kong may vest nga pala siya. She lost consciousness maybe because she was nervous.

Cassidy’s hand was shot by a sniper. Agad ding dumating ang mga pulis at dinukot na siya.

And now, we’re engaged. Our love story was full of roller coaster rides and I am glad that we got a hang of it.

I am gonna be marrying the woman I am willing to take risks for.
