CHASING THAT BILLIONAIRE

"Kapag lumingon ka, you're mine." I muttered to my self as I stare at the man standing near the dj's stage.

Nakatayo lang siya doon at nagmamasid sa paligid na para bang isa siyang bouncer ng lugar at hindi kasama sa mga player na nanalo ng soccer. It's the team's victory party at kilala ko kung sino ang lalaki na yon. He's the reason why I came home from traveling, aside from my mother na palagi akong kinukulit na umuwi.

I was looking at The Bachelors magazine when I saw a picture of him with my brother. He has this jet black hair and cold staring and mysterious dark gray eyes. Since then, I always dreamt of him. So I came home to meet the man of-literally-my dreams.

Yung mukha niya na seryoso palagi at hindi nagpapakita ng emotion. I like that about him. He's so mysterious and I like to solve mysteries.

I almost fist pumped when he turned my way and met my eyes pero ilang seconds lang at tumingin nanaman siya sa ibang direction. I smirked. He likes me. Alam kong gusto niya ako dahil tumingin siya sa akin. I walked towards my guy when suddenly may isang lalaki na humarang sa dinaraanan ko.

"Wanna dance?" I smiled at him sweetly.

"Of course.. not." Nilagpasan ko na siya pero hindi ko na nakita ang lalaking ipinunta ko talaga dito. Tinignan ko ng masama ang lalaking dahilan ng pagkasira ng plano ko na ngayon ay may kaharutan nang babae.

I stomped my feet and went towards Jaqie na mag isang sumasayaw sa dance floor habang sinusuklay ang buhok at ang isang kamay ay may hawak na baso. I shook my head. She's crazy. I just met her today pero ang gaan ng pakiramdam ko sa kanya kahit may pagka snob siya. She's the girlfriend of the Keith na kaibigan at team nate ni kuya Demitri.

"Jaquie come on let's go back to our table. Julian must be worried na."

"Mamaya na ako babalik. I'm still enjoying myself." Pinilit ko pa siya ng isang beses but she ignored me so I went back to our table and I saw Jules watching me. She's my brother's fiance. I travel a lot kaya ngayon ko lang din siya nakilala pero narinig ko na siya kay mommy.

"I'm tired." I said as I approached her. She raised her eyebrows.

"Kaagad? Si Jaquie?" Hindi naman talaga ako napagod dahil halos five minutes lang akong nandoon. I went to the dance floor because I saw Enrique and I want to show off pero bigla siyang nawala.

"Still dancing. Ayaw pa niyang umupo eh." She sighed. Akala ko sa aming tatlo si Jaqie ang kill joy.

Dumeretso na ako sa upuan ako at uminom sa basong naiwan ko kanina. Sinundan ko ng tingin si Julian nang pinuntahan niya si Jaqie at hinila pabalik ng table namin.

"Jaqie you're drinking too much. Tama na yan."

"Nonsense. Hindi pa ako lasing nag eenjoy lang ako." Jaqie's drunk, she keeps on giggling but I think she's alright.

"Anong hindi? Tignan mo nga yang itsura mo." I rolled my eyes. Ang oa ni Jules. We're girls and we tend to have fun.

I traveled in almost every country in the world and in every country maraming babae na mas matanda pa sa amin ang mahilig sumayaw at mag enjoy. Mukhang okay pa naman kasi si Jaqie, tipsy lang. And her boyfriend looked like he doesn't care about her at all.

"Leave her alone Jules. She's having fun." I giggled when I saw her face. Feeling ko tuloy may kasama talaga akong ate. I really like her for my kuya.

"Jules!" I heard Trey called Julian. They talked pero wala sa kanila ang attention ko. I keep on looking around hoping I can see him pero wala parin. I looked at my phone when I read a text from my brother saying he's leaving at ako na daw ang bahala maghatid kay Julian.

This brother of mine is really not a gentleman. Ano bang nagustohan ni Jules dito? He didn't even said goodbye to her siguro tinext lang din siya.

"Teka, Mira nasaan si Jaquie?" I looked around the table and the empty sit beside me.

"She's here lang kanina."

"Dito ka lang hahanapin ko lang siya. I'll be back." I nodded my head. San ba nagpunta ang babae na yun? She's a bit drunk pa naman.

"Ano wala pa ba?" Julian asked as she came back. Umiling ako. "Sige titignan ko sa cr."

Jaqie came back with a man na nagpakilala sa amin as Nuel. A handsome man actually. Ngayon ko lang siya nakita at alam kong hindi siya member ng soccer team dahil memorize ko ang bawat player. We chatted and he was nice. Mabait at may sense of humor.

"Teka kanina pa tayo nag uusap dito pero hindi mo sakin sinasabi kung paano ka nakapasok sa party na to. No offense but I know that only the billionaires and some VIP guests are allowed to go here." I asked him.

"Pinsan ko si Enrique. And speaking of my cousin." May narinig akong tumawag sa kanya at halos magwala ang puso ko nang makita kung sino ang papalapit sa amin. Oh my gosh, there he is.

The man of my dreams.

The love of my life.

So handsome and masculine with his gray shirt and leather jacket and I can't wait to see what's inside that clothes.

"Wow" Hindi ko mapigilang bumulong sa sarili ko. Parang nag slow motion ang buong paligid habang naglalakad siya palapit sa amin. Napakagat labi ako nang nasa harap ko na siya.

"Enrique" nakangiting bati ni Nuel. "This is Jaqie, Jules, and Mira." She looked at our faces pero alam kong tinitigan niya ako ng mas matagal kaysa kay Jaqie at Julian. I know that his stare lingered for a second and that's enough reason for me to pursue him.

"We have to go." Gosh, halos manginig ang buong kalamnan ko sa sobrang lamig ng boses niya but it also turned me on. Lalaking lalaki ang boses niya na parang sa boses palang mararamdaman mo kaagad na kaya ka niyang protektahan. At kung gaano kalamig ang boses niya, ganon naman ka-hot ang katawan niya.

I know because I saw a topless picture of him sa internet habang nagpa-practice ng soccer.

"I have to go. Salamat sa pag kupkop niyo sakin. Sa uulitin." Nuel left with a smile habang si Enrique naman ay hindi manlang nagbahagi ng kahit isang ngiti but of course, gwapo parin.

"So tell me girls, what do you think of Enrique?" I asked them as Nuel and Enrique left. Makakagawa pa naman ako ng paraan para magkita kami ulit. Lucky for me, kaibigan siya ni Kuya Demitri. Although, hindi ko masiyadong kilala ang mga friends ni kuya dahil matagal din akong nawala sa Pilipinas.

"He's cold and he doesn't speak much." Sabi ni Jaqie. I rolled my eyes. Nagsalita yung hindi cold at palasalita.

"Para sakin nakakatakot siya." Muntik na akong matawa nang mapangiwi pa sa Jules. Hindi pa ba siya nasasanay sa kapatid ko? Cold at masungit din naman yung tao na yun.

"I think he's hot and mysterious." I said dreamily. He's so perfect. Perfect for me. He's mysteriousness is really taking the curiosity out of me. I'm attracted to him in a way that I cannot explain.

Buong gabi wala na akong bukang bibig kundi si Enrique at mukhang pinag titiyagaan lang akong pakinggan ni Julian while Jaqie's mind is nowhere to be found. Nadala yata nung Keith na yun ang buong utak niya dahil wala siya palagi sa sarili.

Tinignan ko ang topless picture ni Enrique na kinuha ko sa Internet. He's so handsome and hot. Siguradong maraming babae ang naghahabol sa kanya pero wala akong pakealam.

I'll make him mine.
