Dealing with Mr. Scared of What? (Quadro Series #1)

Chapter 13

"Kyx!"

Tawag niya sa binata bago tumakbo papalapit dito pero agad siyang tumigil ng ilang dangkal mula dito. Virus kasi siya, mukhang medyo napanatag naman si Kyx dahil sa distansya nila sa isa't-isa. Kyx is currently on the shore of his beach, it's currently 6 in the morning. Meron siyang pictorial na magsisimulang mamayang gabi pero kailangan niya pa I-set up ang mga gamit.

Mayroon nag-hire sakaniya na mago-open nang isang floating restaurant. They said it's a partnership with the owner, Kyx but of course they don't know that. She was hired to take pictures to promote the newly build food establishment. Gusto ng may-ari na makasama ang sunset kaya maaga pa siya doon. After taking the pictures and sending the photo to the editorial team her work is done.

Well, her appointment. Dalawang appointment niya ngayon araw at aalis na sana siya doon ng maalala niya si Kyx. After yesterday Kyx just leave her alone on that house, he was kind enough to call a taxi for her though and send her home. He even chatted her on Facebook! Friends na nga sila. Kyx added her. Nang makita niya iyon kagabi, nabalunan pa siya. Halos hindi din siya makatulog.

Kyx is not entirely bad, he's just scared. Kahit takot ito sa mga babae marunong ito respetuhin siya at kamustahin. He's a nice guy, just scared. Kaya naisipan niyang puntahan ito ngayon araw. Alam niyang bukas na ang restaurant sa oras na iyon at tama siya. Kinawayan niya ang binata. Kyx look at her plainly but you can tell he's bothered with her presence

She smiled before getting a piece of paper in her bag before handing it to him, at syempre hindi ito inabot ni Kyx. Agad naman siya napasimangot, nga pala. Sino ba tatangap ng kung ano galing sa isang bagay na kinakatakutan mo? But she wanted to give it to him. Iyon ang list na gusto niyang makasama sa catering services niya.

"Iyan ba ang foods na gusto mo i-cater namin? Sana binigay mo na lang iyan kay Phil." Simpleng ani nito habang nakatingin sa kamay niya. His tone sounded distant and cold but his stance is tensed. Halatang handa itong tumakbo papalayo sakaniya kahit ano man oras. Hindi ba pwedeng maging generous and thoughtful. She huff and was about to speak when Kyx's mouth opened again, stopping her.  "And damn, tone down from the caramel. Didikit iyan sa brace mo."

Agad naman nanlaki ang mata niya. Halos hindi siya makapaniwala sa narinig niya. Hindi niya napigilan na takpan ang bibig niya habang nanlalaking matang nakatingin dito. "You cuss?!"

Kyx looked at her as if she asks the most stupid question he heard in his whole existence but she was too shocked to care or even give her question a thought. Kyx cuss! To be honest it didn't occur to her that this man can cuss at all, especially Infront of a woman. Maybe she's assuming things about his phobia. Akmang magsasalita siya ng mag-ring ang cellphone niya agad naman niya ito sinagot, it was Klint. One of her co-workers.

"Be there soon." Ani niya bago binaba ang cellphone niya bago iyon nilagay sa bulsa niya, humarap kay siya Kyx. "Hey. Catch!" Ani niya bago tinapon ang papel dito and amazingly, Kyx had a fast reflex, agad nito nasalo ang papel na tinupi niya bago pa iyon tumama sa mukha nito. "I know but I just want to say thank you for yesterday!"

"Bye now, I have work!" She shouted as she run towards her car. "Bye Doc!" She shouted one last time before getting inside her car then she realizes something, Shit! She shouted! Heart pounding harshly, agad naman nanlaki ang mata niya ng ma-realize niya iyon, bumaba siya mula sa sasakyan niya bago lumingon kay Kyx, nakahinga naman siya ng maluwag ng makita niyang nakatayo ang binata habang nakaharap sa dagat. He look fine. She smiled. Safe!
