Demon Inside Her

Chapter 1

"It's been a while, Sandra, kumusta ka na?" napangiti ako ng makita si Michael, isa sa mga paborito kong designer.

"I'm okay, medyo busy lang kasi sunod-sunod yung shoots and events. Ikaw? Balita ko nagbukas ka na daw ulit ng new branch?"

He smiled at me. "Ay oo, and may mga new designs ako. Since ikaw yung favorite model ko, ikaw una kong papipiliin baka may magustuhan ka,"

His assisstant handed him a book containing his sketches and designs. He handed it to me and showed me beautiful creations. Grabe, he's really a good designer.

I scanned the book, looking for a dress for me to wear on the next fashion show na pupuntahan ko. I am not walking on the runway kasi I refused pero I was invited to watch the show.

"May nagustuhan ka na ba?" we are already done scanning the dresses when he asked me.

Nag-isip muna ako bago ko binuklat ulit yung book at ipinakita sa kanya yung gusto kong dress.

"You really have a good taste when it comes to fashion, you picked my favorite," he exclaimed, I smiled.

"Uhm... I need the dress tomorrow before lunch,"

"No worries, dear, we already finished the design. We will just get your measurements later and make adjustments,"

"Omg, thank you! You're the best, Michael!"

"Anything for my favorite,"

Favorite. That's one common word for me now. Dati I am always seeking for validation and gustong-gusto kong matawag na favorite.

Pero ngayon, it's like it is part of my daily life na to be called favorite. Either it be at the runway, the streets, the malls, and even by big names in the industry.

I am everyone's favorite.

"May schedule pa ba ako today, Brit?" I asked my PA pagkauwi namin sa condo ko. She checked her planner before telling me my schedules for tonight.

"You have a dinner with Mr. Samaniego. It's in 8PM," I sighed.

"Remind me again kung bakit ako pumayag na makipag-dinner sa kanya?" she seems confused at my question pero she answered.

"Because he told you something the other day, and hindi mo siya natanggihan because of that?"

I smiled. "Yeah, now I remember. Fuck," I looked at her and mukha namang hindi siya nagulat ng marinig niya akong magmura, well, siguro nasanay na siya.

"Should I prepare your clothes for the dinner?" she asked me while arranging her things.

I shooked my head. "No need, it's not that important naman ako na yung bahala sa susuotin ko. You can rest na for today,"

"Sige, Miss. Aalis na ako, I will see you tomorrow," I nodded at her and bid goodbye.

After sending her off ay pumunta na ako sa kwarto ko. I went to my closet and took out a simple lacey dress, I don't care kung anong susuotin ko sa dinner na ito kasi unang-una, labag naman ito sa loob ko.

I was busy putting my make up on when he called. I stared at it for a moment before answering.

"Are you planning on ditching me again?"

"When did I ever do that, Mr. Samaniego?"

"You ditched me when we were about to go on a date during college days,"

"Geez, that was 3 years ago,"

"It's almost 8PM, I will wait for you here. You better come here,"
