Monasterio Series #3: One More Night

Chapter 8

Chapter 8

Hindi pa rin nawawaglit ang titigan namin ni Zadriel. Nga lang, habang ako ay nananatiling gulantang at nanglalaki ang mga mata, siya ay nakataas na ang sulok ng labi at tila natutuwa pa sa aksidenteng pagkikita namin ngayon. Base on his initial reaction awhile ago, he's also surprised to see me.

Gulat ka mas maganda ako sa girlfriend mo, ano? Char lang.

I pulled my gaze away from him and cleared my throat. Umayos ako ng pagkakaupo, tuwid ang likod at umastang hindi kilala ang nasa harapan. I anchored my eyes on the woman besiden him. She's already looking at me. Hilaw akong ngumiti sa kanya.

"Good morning, Miss..."

What the fuck is her name again? Diarrhea?

"Dainara, Ma'am Tate." si Abby.

"Oh! It's my pleasure to meet you, Miss Dainara."

Mas lalong naningkit ang mga mata niya dahil sa pagkakangiti. She walked near us and extended her hand. Tumayo ako para tanggapin iyon.

"Likewise, Miss Follosco. They're right when they said that you are one hell of a gorgeous interior designer. Naging kliyente ng Mommy mo ang Mommy ko noon."

Hindi sinasadyang napatingin ako kay Zadriel na nasa likuran niya. He's now crossing his arms over his chest while smirking at me. There's a hint of playfulness crawling upon it.

Bakit ba nangingisi ang isang ito?

Ibinalik ko ang tingin sa kaharap. "Thank you. Nagmana lang kay Mommy."

"Hmm. You actually have a good genes. Saw your family portrait in one of the billboards along Edsa. Have a seat, please."

Naupo akong muli sa tabi ni Abby. Dianara walked towards the couch across us. Napatingin ako kay Zadriel. He's still staring at me.

Naupo si Dianara habang si Zadriel ay nakatayo lang sa likuran niya. Both of them anchored their eyes on me. Ngumiti ang babae.

"Let's go to the main business, shall we?" pormal nitong sabi.

She sounds boring. Bakit kaya nagustuhan ito ni Zadriel? Hindi kaya dahil... maingay?

Oh my gosh, Tate! She's not a Japanese, remember? Hindi iyan maingay sabi ni Zadriel!

"Of course," I smiled. I tried not to look at Zadriel's direction for I know that there's a shadow of playfulness rolling across his eyes. "According to my secretary, you want us to design your master's bedroom, right?"

Dianara nodded. "Yes. My boyfriend thinks that our room is too plain. Maybe we need to spice it up for our sexy time-"

"Dianara..." Zadriel warned her.

Humagikhik ang babae. I almost roll my eyes up if I didn't just control myself to do it. Mukhang mahinhin. Mukha lang pala.

Nilingon ni Dianara si Zadriel. There's a warning looming in his eyes as if he doesn't like the words that came out of her lips but the woman seems to be oblivious about it.

"What? I'm just telling the truth. I'm sure Miss Follosco here doesn't mind it..." she said and then looked at me, a smile still plastered on her lips. "Right, Miss Follosco?"

Ngumisi ako. "Of course. It's normal. But in my case, I don't need to redecorate my room just to spice our moment up. My boyfriend already finds me hot. I'm more than enough, he said."

Kusa akong dinala ng mga mata ko kay Zadriel. He's still looking at me, a taunting smirk rolling across his dark eyes. It's few seconds later when he took his phone out of his pocket without pulling his gaze away from me. Bahagya akong nagtaas ng kilay nang tumungo siya at magtipa ng kung ano sa cellphone niya.
