Nakaupo na kami ngayon sa sofa niya sa may living room area. He's sitting beside me while his laptop is laying on his lap. Seryoso siya sa tinititigan niya sa laptop kaya nabalot ako ng kuryosidad at dahan dahan ko sinilip kung ano ang nasa screen pero kaagad naman niya sinara ang laptop niya at bumaling sakin.
"Oh bat ayaw mo ipakita? Babae mo ba yung tinititigan mo?" Banta ko sakanya and he shook his head and chuckled. Inakbayan niya lang ako at hinalikan sa pisngi.
"Wala akong babae Zole, if you're curious of what I'm looking at, it's about the details sent to me by the private investigator about kay Alexie. Ayoko pa na malaman mo ang tungkol sa mga 'yon hanggat wala pa kaming sapat na ebidensya. For now, I hired some more bodyguards for you especially everytime you're going out with him, mas mapapanatag ang loob ko kung may magbabantay sayo sa tuwing wala ako sa tabi mo" He explained. I just sighed and lean my head on his shoulders.
"I tried to ask him about the status of their company, it turns out they are experiencing some dilemma regarding their losses of sales. I also ask if what's the cause of the problem but he said it's a private matter, pamilya lang nila ang nakakaalam" I uttered. His hands landed on my thighs and caressed it a little.
"Seems they're really hiding something. What else did he told you?" He asked again.
"He said that he will do anything just to sustain the growth of their company. Nasabi ko rin na kung kailangan nila ng tulong I could also lend a hand for him" I replied.
"Don't just easily offer help Zole, you might put yourself at risk or even your family's company" He reminded and I just sighed and nodded.
"Right but don't worry I'll be careful. Anyways kumain ka na ba? Gusto mo ipagluto kita?" I changed the topic at tumayo na mula sa pagkakasandal sakanya, kanina parin kasi magaslaw ang kamay niya kaya sinubukan kong dumistansya.
"Not yet, I lost my appetite the moment I saw you and that bastard kissing" He hissed na parang naiirita nanaman. Humalakhak naman ako at bumalik ulit sa pagkakasandal sakanya.
"Are you still jealous? I'm sorry okay, hindi ko rin naman inakala na hahalikan niya ko non kaya hindi na ko nakaiwas and if ever I rejected the kiss... baka magduda siya" I apologized pero nakabusangot parin ang mukha ng mokong.
"Hmm, ipagluluto nalang kita ng paborito mong carbonara, sigurado ako mabubusog ka don! It's been a while since you last tasted my cooking right?" I said cheerfully pero parang wala parin epekto yon sakanya. Paano ko ba natagalan ang lalaking 'to noon? Ang lala niya pa ata ngayon lalo magselos ah.
"Are you also cooking for him? If so then I'll just order some food" Aniya kaya napanguso naman ako.
"Ayaw mo na ba tikman mga luto ko? Hindi mo ba namimiss? Siguro hindi ka talaga nasasarapan sa mga luto ko noon noh kaya tinatanggihan mo na ngayon!" I said with full dissapointment on my voice. Nanggigilid narin ang luha sa mata ko at napansin ko namang medyo nagulat siya sa reaksyon ko. He immediately tried to calm me down and caressed my face.
"Shh Zole that's not what I meant..." He said calmly and really trying his best to make me stop from crying. Little did he know I'm just pranking him. Nang hindi na maipinta ang mukha niya sa sobrang pag aalala ay hindi ko na napigilang tumawa ng malakas kahit may mga luha parin sa mata ko.
"Gotcha! HAHAHA-" Napatigil ako sa pagtawa ng bigla niya ko hiniga sa sofa at pumaibabaw sakin.
"You think that's funny huh?" He sarcastically said kaya natawa ako muli.
"Ikaw kasi eh! Diba sabi ko nga sayo wala kang dapat ikaselos, could you forget about that scenario in your head" I respond while still laughing and his stares darkened more.
