My Boss is a Freak (Published under Pop Fiction)

9: Mira

I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I don't want another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

Ang cool naman ng music picks ni Papa Vince! "Beautiful Soul" was blaring from his car stereo — and it happened to be one of my favorite songs. It never fails to make me sing, lalo na kapag ini-imagine kong nasa harap ko talaga ang crush kong si Jesse McCartney habang hinaharana niya ako with his hit song.

I know that you are something special
To you I'll be always faithful
I want to be what you always needed
Then I hope you see the heart in me

Huli na nang ma-realize ko na sumasabay na pala ako sa kanta, dahil wala naman talaga akong planong iparinig ang vocal prowess ko kay Papa Vince. Dahil first meeting namin ito, hindi ko muna sana ipapakita sa kanya ang secret talent ko. Sabi nga nila, it's better to take things slowly.

Charot.

Pero mas nabigla ako nang sumabay na rin sa musika ang gwapong doktor na katabi ko, nang nasa kalagitnaan na ng kanta.

I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I don't want another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

Grabe! This is so nakaka-hyperventilate! Nagka-duet tuloy kami ni Papa Vince nang wala sa oras, and more importantly, I just heard kung gaano kaganda ang boses niya!

It was like having the real Jesse McCartney singing beside me — no, it was actually way better than having Jesse McCartney singing beside me.

Bakit kaya ngayon lang nag-krus ang landas namin nitong si Dr. Vince Allen Montevilla? He's literally everything I wish for in a man!

Matalino? Check! Magiging doktor ba naman siya kung hindi?

Mabait? Check! Kung tutuusin ay hindi niya naman ako kailangang ihatid pauwi — pero heto at ginawa pa rin niya.

Gwapo? Check! Tipong masarap magpalahi dahil alam mong kaygagwapo at kaygaganda ng mga magiging anak niyo.

Talented? Check! May live performance pa ng singing talent niya bilang pruweba.

Teka... bakit parang nagso-slow motion ang paligid nang lingunin ko ulit si Doc? Bakit parang nagkaroon ng fireworks sa background? How come that even the batting of his eyelids was emphasized?

Is this what falling for someone feels like?
