Taming Mr. CEO

chapter 2

"Oh my God.. that's so sad." I wiped my tears with a tissue.

While I wait for Lai to return home, I am watching a movie in the living room. It's  already eleven o'clock at night. The film had a devastating ending that I was not expecting, so heto ako iyak nang iyak.

"How can the writer be so heartless?" I questioned, hoping for an explanation. If I were the one acting the final scene, I would undoubtedly cry. That was a huge blow to me. Kahit nanunuod lang ako ay ramdam ko yung sakit nung character.

I was still wiping my tears when Lai entered the house. Dere-deretso itong nag lakad papunta sa hagdanan.

"You're home. Initin ko lang 'yong pagkain mo." I said, fixing myself before going to the kitchen.

I didn't receive any answers from him pero ininit ko parin 'yong pagkain niya. He didn't said 'no' anyway.

Habang naka salang iyong pagkain sa microwave ay pinatay ko muna 'yong tv at niligpit ang mga tissue na nakalat ko. I throw them in the trashbin sa kitchen saka pinunasan 'yong table sa sala. Minute later, tumunog na 'yong microwave kaya't kinuha ko na ang pagkain doon. Inayos ko muna siya sa table saka umakyat sa taas.

I knocked three times, "Food is ready!" I said.

Hinintay ko itong sumagot pero wala. I tried knocking again pero wala parin. Papasok na sana ako kaso baka magalit lang ito saakin kaya't bumalik nalang ako sa kusina para takpan ang mga pagkain. I need to take a rest now dahil maaga akong susunduin bukas. I knocked on his door again and told him that his food is ready, before I went to bed.

The next day, I woke up when my alarm rings. I stayed on my bed for a few minutes before I get up to wash my face and brush my teeth, and cook for breakfast bago ako maligo. Nag stretching pa ako habang bumababa ng hagdanan.

I stopped when I saw him, sitting in the couch sa living room. He's with his laptop and other stuffs.

"Good morning!" I exclaimed. He only gave me a brief glance before continuing on with his work. "Do you have anything in mind for breakfast?" I asked.

"I'm not e—."

"Omelette," I said, coming to a halt "I'm going to make an omelette for us and will call you when it's ready." I stopped him because I already knew what he was going to say, and I wasn't going to let it happen!

I went inside the kitchen and wore an apron. Nag prepare na ako ng mga gagamitin ko sa pag luto saka nag simula. Omelette isn't that hard to cook that's why I finished it easily. After I put that on the table, I toast some bread and make him coffee. I made sure that everything is ready and on it's place before I called him. Ilang beses ko pa siyang tinawag bago siya pumasok ng kusina, with his grumpy face. Pero imbis na kabahan ay napatawa nalang ako sa sarili ko.

Inuna ko siyang pag lagyan ng pagkain bago 'yong akin. Tahimik lang itong nakaupo sa harapan ko at hinihintay akong matapos.

"You woke up early." I started a conversation dahil minsan lang naman kami pag usap na dalawa.

"I have work." He simply replied then starts eating.

"oh.. looks like you're having a hard time in the office. You want me to bring you lunch?" I asked.

"Sounds like you're gonna bring me and my company a huge trouble." He sarcastically said, slightly rolling his eyes.

"Hindi naman! Do I look troublesome to you?" I asked, a bit offended.

"Aren't you going somewhere?" he asked, refuses to answer my question.

Napairap nalang ako, "Yeah. I'm going to meet my manager today. Maybe, I won't be able to go home tonight." I replied.
