Attaining The Unreachable (Crossing The Line Series 2) ✅

A.T.U-27

Carlos Pov

Parties, clubs and girls. Iyan ang naging buhay ko sa U.S. I was a spoiled brat. My mother adores me, whereas my father is uninterested in me. My mother would always tell me to enjoy my life and leave the stress to Terrence. I am my father's legitimate child, and he expected me to take over his business, but I declined.

I aspire to be an engineer. That's my fantasy, but I'm a fool. In every way, I'm not a serious person. I enjoy fooling around. I've never been serious about myself, my relationships, or my dreams.

This girl with whom I'm flirting slapped me across the face. "Fuck! Carlos, we've been dating for three fucking days and you still can't remember my name; I told you I'm Alice, and you keep calling me different names! You know what? Let's break up!" she yelled as she stormed out the bar's exit.

She said I couldn't fuck her if we weren't dating, so I did. Now that she's gone, I guess I'll have to look for someone else. Before I decided to go home, I drank several shots of whiskey in front of me.

I tried to enter my passcode, but the door would not open. Fuck! I pressed it once more. I didn't even think before pressing the doorbell. When I saw a beautiful girl, I was taken aback. My vision was blurred, but I could still make out her pale skin. I want to claim her dazzling eyes, thin pointed nose, and soft lips.

"What's your name? You look like my future wife." I asked after I get up from her bed.

"Why do want to know my name, sir? I bet you can't even remember the girl that you fucked last night?" she directly asked.

I love her bold personality. Wala siyang alinlangan kung magtanong. Nung mga oras na iyon gusto kong humiling na mawala yung kalasingan ko para makita ko kung gaano siya kaganda.

We made love that night.

Maliwanag na ang silaw ng araw sa labas paggising ko. Nakita ko ang buong katawan niyang nakakumot kaya hindi ko na siya ginising. I immediately put my clothes on. Nakapa ko ang $5,000 cash sa likod ng bulsa ko kaya nilapag ko iyon sa bedside table niya. Bayad ko yun sa pagpapatulog niya sa akin sa unit niya. Hinalikan ko ang mukha niyang nakabalot ng kumot at mabilis na umalis.

It's already night when I get back to her unit. I tried to press her doorbell but seems like she's not inside. Naghihintay nalang ako sa labas ng unit niya. I keep on checking my wristwatch at napansing kong 30 minutes na akong naghihintay pero wala pa rin siya. Kung siya lang naman yung hihintayin ko ay hindi ko na aalahanin ang oras.

Isa,

dalawa,

tatlo!

Tatlong oras na akong naghihintay pero hindi pa rin siya bumabalik. Never in my life that I waited this long for just a girl. Kung ibang babae lang iyon baka sumuko na ako agad. Nakayuko at ramdam ko na ang antok nang biglang nakarinig ako nang yapak ng paa na palalapit sa akin. I saw a man who's around my age and he stopped in front of me.

"You're not deserving to be the husband of someone who lives here. That person wants to be successful, and you might drag that person down. Get lost," he said, judging my appearance.

I know I look like a mess that night. Umalis nalang ako dahil sa sinabi niya. Simula no'n nagbago ako. Hindi na ako sumasama sa mga parties, clubs at bars. Hindi na rin ako nambabae. I was dropped from school since primary and secondary school, so I graduated from college later than my classmates.

"I'm just giving your money back and don't look for me again. Hindi na kita gustong makita kahit kailan." that's what she said after she gave me the money I left on her unit 2 months ago.

Iniwan niya ulit ako.

Parang gusto ko siyang habulin nung iwan niya ako pero 'di ko ginawa. I need to become successful first especially now I know that she's a famous model. I badly want to become someone that she can rely on. Someone that she can be proud of just like how proud I am with her.

"Ezra Gale Carson, 23, famous runaway model in Versace Modelling PH. He started his modelling career in Moore's Modelling Corporation. Son of Belinda and Christian Car-"

I cut off the detective I hired just to investigate her, I mean him. "What did you say? You said "son"?

The detective nodded. "Yes Engineer. I said son. Ezra Gale Carlos is a man."

Pinipigilan ko ang sarili kong tumawa pagkatapos kong marinig iyon. Lalaki pala siya. Pero bakit mukha siyang babae? Mas maganda pa siya sa mga naging girlfriends ko dati. I can't believe I fell with a guy.

The future wife that you've been looking for two years is none other than this gay homo!" sigaw sa akin ni Valerie na ex-girlfriend ko.

Nagkaroon ako ng pag-asa nung marinig ko yun sa kanya. He's not straight, he's gay. Hindi ako nakaramdam ng pandidiri. Naging mas masaya pa nga ako nung malaman ko ang bagay na iyon dahil may pag-asa na ako sa kanya.

Nalaman ko na naghahanap ang mom niya ng engineer na gagawa ng dream house niya kaya dali-dali kong tinawagan ang mother-in-law ko. Naging mahaba ang pag-uusap namin sa telepono dahil kung ano-ano ang kinikwento niya. Mostly about politics, business and bible study. Pero mas lalo akong natuwa nung sinabi niyang matagal ng walang karelasyon si Ezra.

"Hey, hindi ko 'to mauubos lahat. Ayaw mo bang kumain?" tanong niya sa akin sa first date namin.

"Sinasaulo ko lang kung gaano ka kaganda." I confessed.

Kahit siguro titigan ko siya buong araw sa date namin ay hindi ako magsasawa. Lahat ng magazines na siya ang cover ay nabili ko na. Kahit sa mga ka-trabaho ko, pinagmamalaki ko siya. Hindi pa niya ako sinasagot pero daig ko pa ang boyfriend kung sumuporta sa kanya.

I'm his number 1 fan.
