Take me to your HEART (GxG) : BOOK 1

Chapter 37 : behave or else...

Gabby's (POV)

Papalapit pa lang ako kila Mama ay napansin ko na kaagad ang matiim na pagtitig sa akin ni Audrey.

She silently prepared the utensils beside her na kaagad kong natunugan. Tipid na ngiti lang ang ibinato ko dito then patay malisya na akong naglipat ng tingin kila Papa and acknowledge Tito Mike's greeting.

Still, without glancing on Audrey's direction I headed beside my mother's side at naupo sa bakanteng upuan na nanduon.

On my peripheral view, I saw the disappointments on Audrey's face but I didn't mind.

As I wanted to finish the discussion quickly ay kaagad kong ini-open ang tungkol duon.

My Father then briefly explained that Tito Mike and his family wanted to develop the land they acquired sa mismong bayan na iyon.

The property is located on the further part of the North malapit sa mga magagandang beaches, waterfalls & caves. Mainly the reason why they want to build a new high-end resort with mid rise building and they want to name it Altamira.

"I have already hired a design team for this Project iha, in fact we have this meeting twice a week para maplantsa ang final layout, i might say na mabilis ang phasing ng discussion because currently ay nasa 2nd stage na ang designs ng Altamira " pagbibigay alam ni Tito Mike.

I was busy compiling the details mula sa narinig when I noticed Audrey took a saucer and slice the blueberry cheesecake na sa aming harapan.

"I know it's too early to discuss for the construction of the Project. But I want it sana to close the deal with your company, kilala nyo naman ako when it comes to this matter hindi ba, napaka-limited lang ng knowledge ko, pero with the help of your company, I'm more than 100% sure na maitatayo ito ng maayos " dugtong ni Tito Mike and then sip on his drinks.

"I already told your Tito that we can't handle new Developments  right now dahil sa dami ng pipeline Projects for turn-over, but he insists and personally request na ikaw ang gusto nilang gumawa at humawak nito" agaw ni Papa informing me without any hesitations while having exchange look with Tito Mike.

I was engross at nag-iisip ng sasabihin ng mga sandaling iyon when Audrey sultry voice interrupted me " kumain ka muna Gab-Gab, napansin kong hindi ka nag-dessert kanina" alok nya smiling and never gave me a chance to decline dahil inilapag na nito ang isang platito ng nai-slice na cake.

I wanted to reject it pero hindi ko na iyon nagawa dahil naramdaman kong nakatingin sila Papa sa amin. In the end, alanganing ngiti na lang ang isinukli ko sa kaharap while disregarding the look of amusement mula kila Papa.

I abruptly felt the urge na lingunin ang girlfriend ko but as if on cue ay naramdaman ko ang pag-vibrate ng sariling telepono. I quickly reach for it inside my pocket. And as soon as I unlocked I swiftly open the message which is apparently ay galing sa babaeng ilang metro lamang ang layo sa akin.

"dnt u try eat dat cake Sandoval, sinasabi ko lang sayo!"

The message make my heart leap kasabay ng pag-rehistro ng hindi mapigil na pagngiti.

Paka-posesib naman talaga!

Tila napansin naman iyon ng mga kaharap kung kaya't naringgan ko na lamang si Papa ng pagtikhim na syang nag-paangat ng aking paningin. He then smile at me teasingly habang animo inaantay ang anumang sasabihin ko.

Dali-dali naman akong nagresponse sa gerlpren ko at muling ibinalik ang atensyon sa mga kaharap pagkatapos humingi ng dispensa. Nakitaan ko pa ng pagsimangot si Audrey ng mapasadahan ko ng tingin but I did't mind.
