The Deal
"Sinasabi mo ba sakin ngayon na ni-reject niya ang offer mo?" Gulat na tanong ni Cara habang inaayos ang mga roses sa flower shop ko.
Yes, I have a flower shop. This is one of the businesses our family owns at ito lang ang hindi ko pina-ubaya sa mga kamag-anak ko. Ang mama ko mismo ang nagpundar at nagpatakbo ng flower shop na ito kaya gusto ko, ako din ang magpatuloy nito.
"Yeah, before I can tell him everything. I didn't even tell him I'm a virgin he just seems to know." I explained in a low voice because some of the workers are at the back of the shop who are busy with the flower arrangements and I don't want them hearing about me being a virgin.
"And he refused because you're a virgin?!" Cara exclaimed sitting beside me.
"Ssh! Ang ingay mo naman eh! Marinig pa tayo nila Manang Delya." Saway ko sa kanya na ang tinutukoy ay ang nagbabantay sa shop tuwing wala ako at sa mga trabahador ko na nag-aayos ng mga bulaklak para sa isang debut sa lunes which is tomorrow.
Ngumisi lang si Cara at pinatong ang paa niya sa ibabaw ng mesa. I shook my head in disapproval at her manners. She ignored me and grabbed a chiken leg in front her, chewing ungracefully.
"Eh lahat naman ng taong nakakakilala sayo, alam na virgin ka. They just don't have the guts to voice it out." She reasoned.
I rolled my eyes, "My virginity is not the topic here. It's Maddox Preston and the misfortunes that will come."
"C'mon, Penelope. Don't tell me you still believe those misfortunes." She raised a brow.
"No but there's something about that fortune teller which makes me somehow think twice of her warning."
"Ano nga ulit pangalan ng maghuhulang yon?" Tanong ni Cara na kumuha ulit ng fried chicken na inorder niya bago siya pumunta dito.
"Morgana." Sagot ko.
"Pangalan palang niya pang mangkukulam na."
"She said she's close to being a witch, though. And she knows my name."
"Whoa! Definitely creepy." Swear, I saw a chunk of meat fall from Cara's mouth when she spoke. Maganda siyang babae, sexy pero nakaka turn off lang talaga siya kumilos minsan.
"Sa totoo lang, hindi pa naman malala ang mga kamalasan ko eh. Hindi pa naman nakamamatay." Pagbibiro ko.
"Hindi nga pero aminin mo, sayang din 'yong Maddox na yun. I would definitely sleep with him if he asked me to."
I stared at her disgusted.
"Don't look at me like that, Penelope. He's hot! Admit it. He's almost perfect. Matalino pa kaya san ka pa!"
"Okay fine. He's hot but he still doesn't want to sleep with me."
"Seriously, I don't get it. You're pretty, sexy, you could pass as a model but I don't understand why he rejected your offer. If I'm a guy, I will bang you without a second thought if you come to me offering yourself." Cara stated looking cofuse.
"Because he don't do virgins?" I said unsure of my answer.
"Nonsense!" She exclaims and throw the chicken bone in the bin 5 meters away from us.
Tumunog ang phone ko at nagregister ang pangalan ni Marco, ang nag-aasikaso sa mga orders ng costumers from different events.
"Miss Penelope." Sambit ni Marco with a high pitch voice sa kabilang linya. Let's say Marco likes guys not girls. Yup, he's gay and he only calls me Miss Penelope when it comes to business matters. Pero kapag personal ay love, babe, besty, at kung ano-anong pet names ang itinatawag niya sakin.
