Ang Boyfriend Kong Supernatural Hunter [Published Under Precious Pages]

Chapter 19 - Little Lunch

Bago mag lunch time, nakareceived ako ng phone call from Phoebe Wilson. She's asking me to wait for Rave in front of the office. Kung bakit interesado sa akin si Rave, hindi ko alam, pero I am sure hindi dahil type niya ko. I am sure he can somehow feel that we both belong in the same supernatural world.

Or baka ang ganda ko lang talaga? Pero malamang sasabunutan na naman ako ni Tim kapag narinig niya ko na sinasabi ko to.

Nakapark na sa labas ng office ang isang black luxury car at naghihintay na din si Phoebe sa akin sa may lobby. She asked me to get inside the car pero hindi siya sumama. Kung totoo ang sinabi ni Sage, Matt's tech team are monitoring my movement now.

"What do you think of Italian food Reichel?" tanong niya pagpasok ko sa sasakyan.

"Sounds good to me."

"I am starving. Kaninang umaga pa ko hindi kumakain."

Starving? Kakainin ba ko ni Rave? Kumakain ba ng tao ang demon?

Shit, bakit ba ko sumama sa lunch na to?

"Uhmmm. Sir Rave, bakit mo naman naisipan na yayain ako maglunch?"

"I told you, I want to talk to my employees directly. Since binangga mo ko kanina sa elevator, I chose you."

I chose you? Ano ko pokemon?

"Ganun po ba? What do you want to know about the company? Timothy is with the company longer than me."

"I don't want to be rude pero parang inappropriate naman if I am going to invite Timothy Lacson for lunch."

Feeling nito appropriate pag ako niyaya niya? At bakit ba niya ko tinititigan?

Sa isang malapit na Italian restaurant kami kumain. Buti maraming tao, maraming saksi kung mamamatay ako.

"I am planning to stay here for good. Is your country manager doing a great job when it comes to the needs of the employees?" tanong ni Rave habang kumakain kami.

Ahhh work related naman pala. Nagkataon lang siguro na ako yung nakabangga niya.

"Si Sir Simeon? Opo, napakabait po niya kahit sa mga rank and file na empleyado. Satisfied po ako sa pamamalakad niya."

"Wag ka mahiya Reichel, kumain ka lang ng kumain. Libre yan, hindi salary deduction."

Ang daming order ni Sir Rave, sayang kung di uubusin. Uubusin ko to lahat para maturn off siya sa akin at di na ko kausapin ever bwahaha evil laugh!

"Asan po si Miss Phoebe? Bakit di po natin kasama?"

"I told her I want to have lunch with you... Alone..." seryosong sabi ni Sir Rave habang nakatingin sa mga mata ko with emphasis sa word na alone.

"What do you mean... alone?"

"You're different Reichel. A different kind of different."

"Sir Rave, nagkakamali ka. I am just a normal and average girl, but never different."

"I know that you are something else..."

"You sound as if alien specie ako."

Pero humalakhal lang si Sir Rave, yung tawa na genuine at mukhang nag-eenjoy siya. He reminds me of Sage, pareho sila tumatawa na parang di na makahinga.

"I am sorry, Reichel if I offended you. I mean, I think you are different in a good way. You are not an average girl na predictable. You spell mystery to me. But of course, hindi ko iniisip na ibang nilalang ka," natatawa niyang explanation.

"Wala naman po special sa akin. Katulad din po ako ng mga normal na babae na moody, selosa, pabebe, at maarte. Walang mystery. Wala nga po ko poise kumain na parang PG at napaka unsophisticated."

Naalala ko na naman si Sage. Napaka unsophisticated ko daw! Tsk!

"See? You blatantly admitted these things as if normal lang yan. Some girls would even deny these facts and pretend to be someone else in front of me. I like you Reichel. I think magkakasundo tayo."

"Naku sir, weirdo po ako. Aso lang kasama ko sa bahay. Inaaway ko nga kahit bestfriend ko at boyfriend ko."

"You have a boyfriend?" gulat niyang tanong.

Bakit? Di naman ako mukhang chararat para di magkaboyfriend? Nakaka offend ka Sir ha?

"Sir Rave naman, di naman ako kagandahan pero may papatol naman sa akin. Ikaw talaga!"

"I mean, I did not know. My sources told me that you're... Nevermind. I hope your boyfriend will not be insulted with our little lunch together."

"Hindi naman po..."

His sources? Pina-imbestigahan ba ko ni Sir Rave? Pero kanina lang kami nag meet?

"Good, because I am planning to take you out for lunch when I have a free time."

Wait lang, may kasunod pa to? Nalagot na!
