Taurus (COMPLETE)

Seven

"Ano? Magma-masters ka dito? Sinabi mo sa States ka!"

"Nagbago ang isip ko."

Tinignan ko siya ng may pagdududa. He only smirked and then he continue feasting on the Creamy Alfredo pasta I just reheated. Leftover namin 'yon kagabi dahil marami ang luto ko kasi akala ko bibisita si Casper dito sa condo ni Constantine. Last minute na siyang nagcancel at may importante daw siyang gagawin. Kaya nilagay nalang namin sa refrigerator yung portion niya sana dahil hindi namin mauubos 'yon.

Kaya heto, ginawa niya na lang agahan habang ako abala sa pag-gawa ng egg with chicken sandwich. Ginawan ko din siya dahil knowing him, hindi sapat sa kaniya ang isang plate ng pasta para sa umaga. He's into heavy meal kaya siguro ang laki ng katawan niya–

Shh, Tamara! Ang aga pa, katawan niya agad iniisip mo!

Umiling ako. I shove the thoughts away to stop my urge to look at Constantine's broad shoulders and muscular arms. He's really muscular since he played rugby football when he was still staying in Australia. Naging varsity siya sa school nila at kahit graduated na ay naglalaro pa rin siya kasama ang mga dating teammates niya bilang bonding daw. He just stopped when he came back here. And since he's used in heavy trainings and work outs, naghanap siya ng ibang libangan pamalit sa dati niyang sports. Now he's into mixed martial arts and boxing.

"What changes your mind this time?  Napaka-indecisive mo talaga." Iningusan ko siya.

He just snorted. Mukhang hindi maganda ang timpla niya dahil kanina pa siya nakasimangot. Gusto ko siyang sawayin na huwag sumimangot sa harap ng grasya pero mukhang wala talaga siya sa mood.

"I don't want that fucker to wander around you freely, begging on you to take him back. He will go through me first! Subukan niya lang talaga lumapit, babasagin ko mukha n'on–"

"Tumigil ka nga! Napakabasagulero mo!"

"Hindi ako mahilig makipagbasag ulo pero handa akong basagin ang ulo niyang Ex mo!" Then he angrily shove a huge swirl of pasta on the fork into his mouth.

"Mabulunan ka sana." Asar na sambit ko. Kaso hindi siya nabulunan. Sayang.

I sat on the stool in front of him and bit on my sandwich. Nilapag ko sa kitchen counter and malaking plato na may sandwich na gawa ko. Tatlo pa ang nandoon dahil tig dalawa ang ginawa ko para sa amin ni Constantine. Then I push towards him the coffee I made while I'm sipping on my green tea. Hindi kasi ako puwede sa kape dahil iba ang reaksyon ng tiyan ko sa caffeine. It upsets my stomach to the point that I need to stay in the bathroom for half an hour, tops.

"Saan ka pala papasok? Kailan?"

"Probably just around here for convenience. May trabaho din kasi ako sa hotel. I don't want to hassle myself on traveling back and forth even though I badly want to study in your school. Mom has been shoving a lot of paperwork in my office since I accepted the position." Tinatamad na sagot niya.

"You are managing your Mom's hotel, right? What about your Dad's law firm? Sino ang sumalo?"

"Probably Kuya Benj."

"Pero 'di ba sinalo niya na yung kumpanya ng Lolo niyo? The construction company?"

"Then he's doing both." He shrugged. "Our firm is not really that big so he could spend only a short amount of time there. Bahala na siya. Malaking tulong din si Ate Talia sa firm namin dahil natutulungan niya si Kuya sa pamamahala kapag may malaking project sa construction company."

Tumango ako.

"They've been working together for three years. I wonder if something is going on between them. Parehas sila ng university mula college hanggang law school. Ahead lang si Kuya Benjamin ng dalawang taon."
