Day 2

Dumating ang mga gamit ko sa rito. Hinatid ni Dave at ng mga tauhan ni Alexus ang mga naiwan ko sa apartment. I've decided to stay here for a while. For a month, to be specific.

"Thanks Dave." Nginitian ko siya. I feel bad about him. Mag-isa lang muna siyang titira sa apartment hanggat nandito ako. Though pwede ko rin naman siyang yayain na samahan ako rito, pero nahihiya ako kay Alexus.

"You're welcome signorina. Anyway, someone gave me this letter. It was addressed to you." He handed me a small pink envelope.

Tiningnan ko ang envelope. May pamilyar na tatak sa gilid non. It's a big letter G with flowers on the sides. My lips automatically formed into a smile. I know where it came from.

"I'll be going, signorina. Call me when you need anything."

Kinawayan ko ang sasakyan na minamaneho ni Dave at pumasok na sa loob. Nasa bulwagan ang maleta ko at ilang mga box. Nagtatakang inisa isa ko ang mga kahon. Bakit parang dumami yata ang gamit ko?

Alexus descended the stairs. His manly scent and aftershave filled my nose. Napatingin ako sa kanya. He's wearing a white button shirt.

"Morning beautiful ." He greeted and I blushed.

"G-good morning."

Bumaba siya at lumapit sakin. He placed his hand on my waist. Bakit ba hilig niyang gawin yan? Hindi ka naman nagrereklamo diba, Aria? I secretly rolled my eyes on myself. I'm going crazy.

"Let me help you put these things on your room." He smiled.

I nod at him. Mukhang kakailanganin ko talaga ang tulong niya dahil biglang dumami ang gamit ko. I even doubt if the other boxes are mine! Puro mga bagong damit, bag, at sapatos.

"I don't think these boxes are mine." Turo ko sa apat na kahon.

"I bought those things for you. So they are yours now."

Nanlalaking matang nilingon ko siya. He bought it? What the-

"How much? I'll pay for it."

Ang dami non! At hindi lang basta-bastang mga gamit ang nasa box. Those are designers  and some are limited editions! Oh goodness gracious. Mukhang mauubos ang fund ko nito ah.

"Nah... take it as a gift from me. After all, you  agreed to be with me for our month long whatever." Nangingiting sagot ni Alexus.

I can't believe this man! Hindi ko matatanggap ang lahat ng ito. I can buy things for myself!

"I can't accept these. It's too much..." Umiling ako sa kanya.

"Don't argue with me baby. Just take it."

Umiling ulit ako. "No. Let me pay for it."

Hindi siya kumibo. Tinitigan niya ang mga mata ko. He shook his head and sighed.

"Are we really going to argue about my gifts?"

"Yes." I firmly said.

"Fine. But just the half of it, okay?"

"But-" he stopped me.

"No buts." His brows furrowed at me. I rolled my eyes.

"Fine."

Wala na akong magagawa kung ayaw niyang bayaran ko lahat ng mga pinamili niya. Pero okay na rin at sagot ko ang kalahati kaysa sa wala diba? It's not bad after all.

Tinulungan niya akong magbuhat ng mga gamit ko patungo sa kwarto. Bitbit niya ang apat na box samantalang ang maleta ko lang ang dala ko.

He's strong by the way. Parang natural lang sa kanya ang magbuhat ng mabibigat na bagay.
