Ms. Perfect Meets her Mr. Mistake

Chapter 23 - Definitely a Mistake

Chapter 23 - Definitely a Mistake

At 4 am I woke up with an aching head. Umupo ako and rested my head at the headboard, I looked at the man who was sleeping beside me naked. I remembered what we did last night and how much I've missed him. 

I smiled bitterly. It was wrong. Definitely a mistake. How could I just give in? Hindi dapat nangyari yung kagabi dahil katulad ng dati, dun na naman kami nagsimula. I wanted a fresh new start at kung kasama si Ian dun dapat hindi ganun yung pagsisimula namin. 

I wanted him but not in that way. I can't be his lover. 

I quietly stood up and put my robe on and went towards the bathroom. After taking a shower, I put my clothes on. Dahan dahan din akong nagimpake. I can't stay here any longer. Hindi ko kayang harapin si Ian knowing that what we did last night was a mistake. 

Nung naayos ko na yung suitcase ko, tinignan ko lang si Ian, he was still sleeping kaya I fixed myself. Tumayo na din ako agad and with one last glance, I walked away. 

Pagkalabas ko, I saw my two body guards, nagulat pa sila "Let's go home." I said. Because of the protocol na tignan pa yung kwarto ko pinigilan ko na sila "Tawagan niyo na si Bert at sabihing babalik na tayo sa Manila." I ordered. 

They called Bert and the car was already waiting for me, we took the early flight back to Manila. Nagulat nga si dad nung nalaman niyang nakabalik na ako, I just lied na I forgot na madami pa pala akong gagawin. 

I was at my office at nakatulala lang ako, thinking about last night again. Ewan ko ba bakit ko iniisip yung kagabi pero tama ang desisyon ko dahil there was no love anymore. Nung tinignan ko kagabi si Ian, wala na yung love, it was pure lust, nothing else. 

And that made me realized it was over between us. Hindi na mababalik dahil hindi na niya ako mahal. Yes mahal ko pa si Ian and I wanted to come back to him but what I saw last night woke me up from the bitter reality. It can't go back. We can't. 

How could I even dream na pwede kung 2 years ago nasaktan namin ang isa't isa. What he accused me before did break my heart. Pero tama siya eh, I did give up myself to him kahit hindi ko siya kilala. But to put it against me it hurt so badly. 

At yung nangyari kagabi, pinapaalala lang yun na tama siya. 

Summer interrupted my thoughts dahil daw may tumatawag na importante, she connected the call sa line ko and I answered it "Yes?" I said weakly. 

"Elena." he called. 

"Why did you call Henry?" I asked him. 

"I heard you wanted to have a vacation... So I'm inviting you to have a vacation with me at Greece." Henry told me. 

I sighed. Maybe I should just leave the country again and just settle at Washington or even London. "People would talk again Henry." I reminded him. The last time we were seen together it spread like wildfire. Speculations that we're engaged just spread.
