“Natuttuwa ka talagang pinag-aalala ako noh?” Padabog siyang tumayo at akmang aalis.“Edi sorry,” pabalang kong sagot.“Edi sorry? For goodness’ sake, Ella! Para akong baliw sa kakahanap sa ‘yo. Sinuyod ko ang buong CeO para hanapin ka. Para akong tanga kakaisip kong ano’ng ginawa kong mali. We were okay two weeks ago tapos bigla kang nawala ng isang lingo?” pagwawala niya. “Ano bang ginawa ko?”“You’re actually asking? Seryoso?” hindi makapaniwalang tugon ko at padabog na ibinaba ang kubyertos.“Nag-alala pa ako eh nag-eenjoy ka lang naman pala sa bar at nakikipagsayaw na parang pokpok!” Pumutok ang mga ugat sa leeg niya.Napatitig ako sa kaniya. Sandaling katahimikan ang namagitan sa ‘min. Pinalitan ng pagsisisi ang galit sa mukha niya nang ma-realize ang sinabi. I silently brought myself on my feet and slapped him. I turned around without saying a word.“I’m sorry.” He grabbed my waist from behind and hugged me tight. “I didn’t mean what I said. Galit lang ako,” malambing niyang sa

“Ipagbabalat kita, Dad.” Tumayo ako tinungo ang basket ng prutas sa kalapit na mesa.Kumuha ako ng dalawang mansanas at dinala ito sa kusina. “Tasya, ibalik mo na ako sa dati kong kuwarto. I couldn’t afford this anymore,” reklamo ni Dad.Sumilip ako sa pinto ng kusina. “Who said you would be paying?”Nginitian ko siya bago bumalik sa pagbabalat ng mansanas. I sliced the apples into bites, put them in a plate and placed it on a mini-table. I got a glass of water and put it next to the plate of apples. I went out of the kitchen holding the mini-table smiling.“Your snack is ready.” I went nigh him and placed the mini-table in front of him.“Ayokong magkautang na loob kay Xeonne,” muling reklamo niya. Ngayon ay nakaupo na siya’t nakasandal sa headboard ng hospital bed niya.Napahawak ako sa dibdib at nagkunwaring nasasaktan. “Grabe ka naman sa ‘kin, Dad. Kalma ka lang d‘yan at magpagaling dahil ako ang magbabayad.”“Paano?”Umupo ako sa tabi niya. “Malaki-laki rin naman ang sahod ko bil

He placed his hand behind my back as he leaned closer and deepened the kiss. His breathe smelt like mint while his lips tasted sweet. He wrapped his other hand around my waist pulling me nearer as we pour our love to each other with our lips. He groaned and effortlessly lifted me and made me sit on his lap. I pulled myself away and looked at him. His annoyed face greeted me.“Why so grumpy all of a sudden?” My brows creased.“I just don’t feel you close enough.” His voice was hoarse and sexy. It decanted fuel to the fire in me.With eyes on his, I moved closer and pressed my body against him. I could feel his toned chest. I couldn’t quit staring at his green eyes. He was wearing his natural eyes ever since his dad made a scene and hurt Xenon. He was wearing them with no hint of fear.I raised my chin and whispered, “am I close enough now?”He shook his head. He took my face on his hand and brought his lips to mine. His lips moved as light as feather. I brought my hands around his nec

Napapaligiran kami ng iba’t ibang uri’t kulay ng mga bulakalak. Kasalukuyan kaming nasa pinakagitna ng malawak na hedge maze ng Garde Grande Garden kung saan ginaganap ang fashion show. Sa harapan namin ay ang malaking entablado na may fountain sa gitna.Nagkalat ang media sa paligid at paunti-unting nagsidatingan ang mga mayayaman, mga artista, influencers, models at fashion designers. Hindi na nakakagulat ang pagbaha ng manunuod dahil lahat ng produktong nila-launcg ng AKV ay palaging inaabangan.“Today marks AKV’s new collection– Ave!” proklama ng host ng event hudyat na magsisimula na ang show.A petite white girl ramped her way around the fountain. She got a slim body perfect for the modeling industry’s standard. She stopped in front of us and posed wearing a fierce expression. Her body was wrapped with a above the knee bodycon dress with thin criss-crossed strap hem. Everyone clapped as she projects showcasing the dress.“Ave?” Tinuro ako ni Xeonne. Napailing ako sa naging reaks

Binitawan ako nito at ngumiti. Bumalik ito sa pagkakakapit na parang tuko kay Chase Monte. Sinundan ko ang mga ito ng tingin. Napaismid ako nang umupo sila sa table malapit kila Lolo Lucero. Ang kakapal ng mukha.“Since when?” tanong ko nang hindi inaalis ang mga mata sa dalawa.“Last night,” sagot niya.“Whose share?”“Damian’s,” maikling sagot niya.Napatingin ako sa kaniya. “Seryoso? Kaya ba ang lamig ng trato mo sa kaniya?”Hindi siya sumagot dahil may dumating na bisita. Sinalubong muna namin ito at binati.“I ordered him to sell it to Monte,” tugon niya nang makaalis ang mga bisita sa harapan namin.“Bakit?” hindi makapaniwalang tanong.Hindi siya sumagot. Napatitig lang siya sa ‘kin. Ayaw niya akong sagutin. May hindi siya sinasabi.“Ave...”Nilingon ko ang tumawag at bumungad sa ‘kin si A. She looked ravishing in her criss-crossed one shoulder gem green dress. “A!” Mabilis akong lumapit at niyakap ito.“Guess what?” Kumalas ito sa mga bisig ko. “Ave’s Collection is sold out,”
