Marian’s POV
Asshole. He’s an asshole! I bit my cheek to keep myself from saying those words out loud. Nakaupo ako ngayon sa mesa at pilit na inuubos ang tea na hindi ko halos malunok. Nakakahiya! Ano ba ‘tong mga pumapasok sa utak ko? Who knew a virgin could be this horny?
Diyos ko, pwede bang lunukin na lang ako ng lupa? Ngayon na. As in, now na.
Marian, ano bang nangyayari sa’yo? Ang halay ng utak mo. Hindi ka ganito pinalaki ng mga magulang mo.
“Marian…” Narinig ko ang boses niya mula sa likod ko. He leaned down to me until I could feel his hot breath on my ear. He smelled so good. Why did he have to smell this good? I feel like melting into his scent. “Masarap ba ang tea ko?” His voice spoke low and directly into my ear. I stiffened and broke out in goosebumps.
I took in deep breaths. Hindi ko alam kung dahil ba sa inis o sa hiya. Tumawa siya ng malakas.
“Ano na ba ang ipapagawa mo?” I asked, sounding annoyed to cover up my embarrassment
“Linisin mo yung living room, pagkatapos yung kwarto ko.” He said heading to the fridge and taking out six pack of canned beer.
“Hanggang kailan ko ba kailangan gawin ‘to?” Tanong ko.
“Hangga’t hindi mo pa nababayaran ang utang mo sa akin.” He said, leaning against the counter and opening a can.
“Magtatrabaho ako sa’yo tapos babayaran pa kita? That doesn’t seem fair!” I said with brows furrowed.
He gulped down his beer before speaking. “Nothing in life is.” He shrugged his shoulders. “Ikaw ang nakiusap sa akin. Pwede din naman pagtrabahuhan mo na lang iyon. I pay my house cleaner 6000 pesos a month. So, it’ll probably take you about 7 years to pay off your debt.”
“Asshole.” I said under my breath.
“Come again?” He cocked a brow before taking another gulp.
“Wala.” I rolled my eyes. “Huwag kang mag-alala. Hahanap ako ng paraan para mabayaran agad kita.”
“What do you do for a living?”
“I own a small flower shop na namana ko pa sa mama ko.”
“It doesn’t make much money, does it?”
“Mag-isa na lang naman ako. It makes just enough money for me.”
“But not enough to pay me?”
“Babayaran kita, okay?” Inis na sabi ko.
“You don’t seem as… excited as you were earlier.” He grinned, rubbing his chin. “Ano bang akala mong gagawin mo kaya dinala kita dito?” He let out an annoying laugh.
“W-wala.” Nag-init ang mukha ko at nagbaba ako ng tingin sa tea na nasa harap ko. Ikaw kasi! Pahamak kang tea ka!
“You’re blushing!” His eyes crinkled even more and his laughter grew louder and my cheeks got hotter.
“I am not!” I hissed, placing a hand on my forehead.
“You have nothing to be ashamed of. Wala pa naman akong nakikilalang babae na hindi ako pinagnasahan.” He gave me a wink before walking away.
