Jaesie Rosenthal knows what she brings to the table, and love is just another luxury she doesn't have any plan to buy. But a multi-million-peso agreement is something she will consider when it comes to business.
When Rico Dard...

ALABANG BOYS without shirts looked different when they wore one.
Rico wore an all-white tux with a black bowtie, and he even looked more ravishing dahil mukha talaga siyang groom. At hindi iyan ang suot niya noong araw na iniwan ko siya sa kasal namin.
My imagination ran wild after I saw him walking past us.
Parang huminto ang oras sa harapan ko. Hindi ko naririnig ang sinasabi nina Calvin sa background. I heard the church bells ringing and people's applause somewhere inside my mind.
God. It was still the same face of Rico, but . . .
He slicked his wavy caramel hair back na mukhang basa dahil sa wax. It somehow didn't match his thick dark brown eyebrows. He wasn't wearing his eyeglasses. So, I guess naka-contact lens na naman siya. And his glassy, greenish-gold eyes are back again. His perfect high-bridge nose and nicely angled jawline made him more manly than his peers.
At that exact moment na paglingon niya sa akin habang nakangiti nang sobrang tamis, para siyang si Prince Charming sa mga fairy tale. As much as I wanted to choose a good music background, my mind automatically sang its own song;
"Ikaw na nga ang hinahanap ng puso . . ."
God, that was so corny. And hilarious.
He opened his mouth to say something. I was expecting his reaction more than how Patrick looked at me like I was the prettiest lady on Earth at this very hour. Ang kaso . . .
"O? Are you done? Tara na! Rox, the floor is yours!"
Imagine my beautiful background being shattered like fragile glass after a wrecking ball hits it.
"Dude! What the fuck?"
Nagising ako sa pangangarap nang sugurin siya nina Calvin para sapukin.
"Hey! Ano ba? Sige!" At first time kong makitang umamba ng suntok si Rico sa isang tao.
"Ang ganda-ganda ni Jaesie ngayon tapos sasabihan mo ng 'Are you done?' Dude, are you for real?" singhal sa kanya ni Patrick na mukhang nagka-slow-mo moment yata sa akin kanina.
"Why?" malakas na tanong ni Rico habang hinahanap ang ikinagagalit ng barkada niya sa kanya. Tiningnan pa niya ako na para bang hinahanap niya ang sinasabing maganda ni Patrick. "Okay naman si Jaesie, a. What's wrong?"
Gusto ko nang batuhin ng pumps 'tong lalaking 'to. Nakakainsulto na, ha. Kunot na kunot ang noo niya na para bang gusto niyang hanapin ang magandang sinasabi ni Patrick sa mukha ko.
Kahit sina Wynn na katabi ko, napa-face-palm na lang habang umiiling.
"He's hopeless," bulong ni Heaven bago pagsabihan si Rico. "Ronie, we really love you. Like, so much, brother, but what the fuck?"
