In Contract with You

PROLOGUE

"What the-!"

My brows furrowed as my gaze roamed over his place.

"Am I in a right place? Condo niya ba talaga 'to? Why it's look so empty?" bulong ko sa sarili.

Like mine, but his was more empty than mine. It was simple, neat, and plain. But we are not the same. He's popular, he has a lot of fans, he has his family, he's so playful so what the hell he's living in this empty place? I stopped wondering when I heard water pouring from the shower. Oh! He's in the shower then.

I just wait for him in the living room, roaming around. Though, there's nothing in there but I have no choice. I needed to distract myself from waiting. Suddenly, I stopped walking when I saw a very familiar face on his picture frame. Sumikip bigla yung dibdib ko as memories of him flashed again. His photo just reminded me of everything that happened. I'm so sorry...

I was about to touch it when I suddenly stepped on something that caused me to slip. Good thing someone caught me in his arms so I didn't fall.

I looked at the man who caught me and stared at his good looking face. Gray eyes, perfect nose and jaw, thick brows and... of course, kissable lips. What a fucking face. I missed him. I missed him so much.

Seeing him now make me feel at eased. Well, I'm totally at peace. But why?

"Althea Ignacio?" Naningkit ang mga mata niya.

Binaliwala ko lang siya habang patuloy na pinagmamasdan ang mukha niya. Parehong pareho talaga. Fuck!

"What the hell your doing here in this fucking night? A-and how did you get in?"

I just stood straight and faced him. Ignoring his perfectly hot bod. I want him to take seriously what I am about to say. I should control myself as I sighed heavily.

"I have a proposal for you, Mr. De Vera."

Sawakas, nagawa ko rin siyang harapin at kausapin. After all those years, I finally made it, one of my biggest fear.

If only I knew...

"Proposal?" he repeated. I watched him as he scanned me playfully from head to toe while smirking. Na-conscious tuloy ako sa sarili.

I'm wearing a red backless slim mini dress so my cleavage and back are visible paired with my silver high heels. I let my curly hair hang down my chin.

I actually prepared for this. Though I was uncomfortable but I still needed to wear it because I need to turn him on so I can get him to agree to the deal I'm about to offer. Actually it's my first time na mag pa-impress sa isang tao especially in a guy. I never ever did this to my fiancee before.

"You're sure you're not one of my obsessed fans?" he made sure.

I smirked then scanned him. I tilt my head as I see his almost naked body covered with his white towel. Since I saw him, I never took my eyes off him. I don't know how my plan will go and if he will agree to the deal I'm going to offer.

"What do you mean?" I asked, ignoring what I just saw earlier. Bakit niya iisipin na isa ako sa mga taga hanga niya?

"You're here in the middle of the night. What would I think?" he raised his brows.

I shook my head and smirked. Just because of that? Ang babaw ng dahilan niya ah. As if wala pang ibang nakakapasok dito sa kalagitnaan ng gabi.

"Tss. I'm not one of your obsessed fans, Mr. De Vera. And I can assure you that. It was merely a proposal." I said as a matter of fact.

He just laughed at me. What's wrong with him? Napahawak siya sa magkabilang baywang niya.

"Hmmm... Lemme think." Umakto pa siyang nag-iisip. "Can I change first?" Aniya saka napatingin sa towel na tagung nakatakip sa kanya.
