Lights Off

Chapter 18

Kara's POV

"Yes. Cancel all my appointments this upcoming weekend." Her stern and authoritative voice echoed inside the car while she's busy driving.

Mabilis na sumulyap s'ya sa akin at marahang tumango.

"Tell the board that we will had a meeting when I come back to the country. Prepare all the reports. I don't like dumb papers." Dagdag pa n'ya.

Kasalukuyan kaming pabalik sa penthouse n'ya pero hindi gaya kanina ay s'ya na ang nagd'drive. Hindi ko alam kung nasaan ang driver na kasama namin kanina.

[Yes, Ma'am. I would also like to remind you that Feriego Corporation's vice-president is trying to have an appointment with you. Would you like to accept it?] Her secretary, Miss Tiana, said with full of respect.

Qionne sighed.

"No." Simpleng tugon ni Val bago nagpaalam.

Tingin ko nga ay madaling araw palang sa Pilipinas or maagang-maaga pa pero nang tumawag si Val kay Miss Tiana ay sumagot agad kahit wala pang dalawang ring.

Attentive.

She lightly touch her forehead habang nakatingin sa una. In one swift move using her right hand, she maneuver the car and parked it so well.

"Where do you wanna go for tomorrow?" She asked in low tone while we're still inside the car.

My eyebrows furrowed. "What do you mean? May business conference ka bukas hindi ba?"

We've talked about that noong nasa plane palang kami. Sinabi n'ya na puro nga daw conference at business meetings ang ipinunta namin dito tapos ngayon ay itatanong kung saan ko gustong pumunta.

"I already cancelled it didn't I?" She asked as a matter of fact. She quickly turn her eyes on me and scratch her right cheek. "I need a break with you."

"Wala ngang tayo tapos nakikipagbreak ka. Are you gagoing me?" Pilit na seryosong tanong ko pero umiling lamang ito at pinitik ang aking noo.

She removed her seatbelt and after that, she carefully remove mine.

"Silly." She uttered.

Nakangiting tinitigan ko lang s'ya na ngayon ay medyo namumugto ang mga mata. Namumula pa nga ang mga pisnge n'ya pero hindi naman nakabawas sa ganda kasi parang nagmukha pang blush on.

Masyadong blessed ang babaeng 'to.

"Do you want anything for dinner? We didn't have the chance to eat peacefully earlier."

Sandaling hinawakan ko ang aking baba habang nakatitig sa reflection naming dalawa sa elevator. Hindi naman ako masyadong gutom pero may gusto akong kainin.

S'ya.

Charot.

Busog pa 'ko.

"Wala naman. Ikaw nalang ang mamili ng kakainin natin." Simpleng sagot ko bago kami lumabas ng elevator at nagtungo sa penthouse n'ya na nag-iisa lang dito sa floor.

Two-storey pa.

"I'm not hungry."

My eyebrows arch. "Hindi ka kumain kanina kaya kumain ka mamaya." May pagkamasungit na saad ko pero inismidan n'ya lang ako at hinubad ang tuxedo n'ya.

My eyes immediately checked her body out dahil tanging iyong button down polo nalang n'ya ang suot n'yang pang-itaas tapos isa lang ang nakabutones.

Yawa.

Pucha.

Punyeta.

Dear my guardian angel, 'wag lang makisama sa paglalaway ko kay Qionne. Dahil baka patayin kita and I thank you.
