"Sirloin steak is really good, I like it" Sebastian says
We're in Bonitos, having dinner with these two love birds. Sobrang sweet nila, Daniel keeps on taking care of his boyfriend in front of us. He also doesn't mind those servers na napapatingin samin.
"Glad you like it Seb, Louise and I really love eating here. Medyo marami nga lang tao lagi" Daniel said
"So uhm we will see you two in year-end party" Irene suddenly said
"Of course, maghahasik tayo ng kabadingan sa party" biro ni Daniel
All of us laughed at his joke. The dinner ended, Sebastian and Daniel left the restobar. While Irene decided to stay for few more red wine.
"Are you okay hon?" tanong ko
"Your raspy voice is really attractive, Daniel told me that"
"M-My what?" gulat kong tanong
Kung ano-ano na naman sinasabi niya. She just gave me a cheeky smile and kissed my hand. Nag-init ang aking pisngi sa ginawa niya.
"You're blushing honey, let's go na nga. I want to kiss you" she whispered
Siya na ang nagbayad ng bill at hinila ako palabas. We went inside her car, ako na ang magmamaneho kasi baka mabangga kami kapag si Irene pa ang pinagmaneho ko.
"I almost kick Isaac out of the office earlier, good thing Iris keeps on intervening"
"Nasa lahi niyo ba ang pagiging mainitin ang ulo?"
"Hey, watch your mouth Czari"
Sumulyap ako sa kanya at nginitian ito ngunit sinuklian lang ako ng irap ni Irene.
"Just joking hon, buti na nga lang hindi mo na pinatulan. Masyadong immature yung pinsan mo. Lolo Gregory seemed disappointed to him" sabi ko
"He's always disappointed to Isaac, even how much efforts he gives for the company he somehow fails in everything"
"And I guess even to Charlie..." dagdag niya
"Huh?" tanong ko
"Nothing" she said
I just continued driving until we reached high rise tower. Kakapark ko pa lang ng porsche car ni Irene biglang sumulpot ang pamilyar na tao sa harap namin.
"Insan!" masayang bati nito
Nanlaki ang mata ko at agad na bumaba sa sasakyan.
"Riz? What the hell are you doing here?"
"Oh come on, aren't you happy I am here? Gusto lang naman kitang bisitahin"
"Who is he?"
Napatingin ako kay Irene. Nakababa na rin pala siya.
"Riz Calixto Lopez, Czarina's cousin"
"Oh..."
Irene slowly went closer to him and offered her hand. Buti na lang nakuha ito agad ni Riz at kinamayan si Irene.
"Ah Riz, this is Louise Irene Smith. Boss ko"
Pinisil ni Irene ang braso ko. Napakagat labi ko sa ginawa niya.
"Ay hinatid mo yung boss mo? Same building kayo ng tinutuluyan insan?"
"Y-Yes" sagot ko
"Oh okay, tara akyat na tayo"
Tiningnan ko si Irene na mukhang wala sa mood. Nang marating namin ang unit ko ay agad na pumasok si Riz sa loob. Naiwan kaming nakatayo ni Irene sa labas.
