I Love You My Mr. Genius

Chapter 2

"I want Slater inside my office."

Natigilan si kuya at tumingin sa akin. "Why?"

"Kuya, he is my secretary. My secretary should be near me so that I if I need him, he can help me  agad, duh!"

"So si Slater na talaga kukunin mo. And is this all about work ba  talaga or something else?" Kuya look ay me with his suspicious eyes.

"Syempre I want to see him everyday." I shiply said.

"No. He will stay outside the office. Baka gapangin mo."

"Kuya! Do I look like a worm to make gapang?" Nanlaki ang mga mata ko. I have legs to walk, why I should gapang?

"Basta hindi pwede."

"Alexandro Jose, sino ang boss mo?" I use my authorative voice to him.

"Fine. I asked someone. Ako na bahala kung saan ilalagay lamesa nya. Pero sinasabi ko sayo Ivo, pag sya ginapang mo at nabuntis ka, hindi ka makakalabas ng bahay."

"Duh kuya! Since when I made gapang to other man? Wala nga ako jowa eh. Tsaka I'm not uod kasi."

"Whatever Ivo. It's Slater we are talking here. And i know you. Lutang ka pag si Slater nasa paligid na. You have a tendecy of shaming yourself."

"I'll behave promise."

"Fine."

I clapped my hand. I feel excited. I'll asked tito Cyber to also put a secret camera on his desk para pwede ko syang titigan ng hindi nya napapansin. I will not repeat my mistake when I first met Slater face to face.

Flashback

First day of our debate week. Wala naman ibang school na present pero kabado ang mga participants. Kahit ako ay kinakabahan not because of the debate itself but because I am in the same group with my crush.

Slater Morgan, is a university hearthrob. Madami nagkakagusto sa kanya at isa na ako doon. Gwapo kasi sya, matalino pa. Kuya and him is classmate kasi parehas silang matalino. Smart din naman ako, pero mas higit si kuya. I am part of class A but Slater and kuya is in Special Class.

I let out a deep sigh. I am one of the representative of third year in this debate and so is Slater. He is our leader. Hindi ko pa sya namemeet personally kasi hindi nagtutugma ang schedule namin. He is just giving me all the instruction through kuya and this is the first time that I will meet him personally kaya naman kabado ako.

"Ayos ka lang?" Tanong sa akin ni kuya.

"Kinda, medyo nervous lang." Pabulong ko na sagot.

"Why? You are always part of this competiton and you always won. Ano kinakakaba mo?"

"I'm going to meet Slater kuya." Inis na sagot ko.

"Hindo mo naman sya makakausap. He will arrive exactly 2pm. Nasa stage na kayo nun."

"Kahit na."

"Tsk. Umayos ka. Wag ka magkakalat."

"Mukha ba akong pasaway para magkalat? I'm a law abidding citizen kuya. I threw my garbage properly."

"Tsk. Wala pa man lutang ka na." Iiling iling na sabi ni kuya.

Hindi ko nalang sya pinansin. I tried my best to calm all my nerve. Pero hanggang ng mag umpisa ang  laban, kinakabahan pa din ako. Nanlalamig pa ako.

As what kuya said, Slater appear when his name was called. Nagsigawan agad ang mga estudyante pagka akyat nya sa stage. Well, hindi ko sila masisisi, pag kagwapo naman kasi ni Slater eh. Ako nga gusto ko tumili din pero pinipigilan ko. Hindi ako bakla sa paningin nila. Pero yung pagkabakla ko nag uumalpas dahil kay Slater.

Everyone keep quite nang magsimula na syang magsalita. Ang gwapo pati ng boses. So manly. Kinikilig ako.

"Ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan. Tayo ang susi ng magandang kinabukasan."  Pagtatapos ni Slater sa speech nya.

Nagpalakpakan ang lahat. Syempre pati ako then I raise my hand suddenly and shout.

"Tama! Tama ang sinabi ni Slater. Tayo ang susi ng magandag kinabukasan. Kaya kung sino mag lalock ng pinto na yun pabubugbog ko sa mga tito ko!"
