Penthouse
"Woah!" nakanganga akong pinagmamasdan ang pangkabuuan ng unit niya.
"You're not just a freaking bodyguard are you?! Heck, your rich!" he got himself his own floor tapos body guard ko lang? Am I being pranked or what?
Everything here screams luxuries. From its glass walls tapos visible pa sa labas ang infinity pool niya. Goodness, the view is also breathtaking.
"I would love to stay here even for the rest of my life."
I dramatically said to myself pero narinig niya pala. Tiningnan niya lang naman ako at walang react.
The interior design of this penthouse is very manly. It is a combination of black, gray, white and khaki color palette. The ceiling is high too, kaya naman ang ganda tingnan ng chandelier na nakasabit dito.
"Are you okay with this?" he asked. Namamanghang nilingon ko siya, "Seriously? I'll live here if only I could!" I exclaimed.
He scoffed, "You sounded like you're not an Avanceña. At isa pa, wala kang choice."
"Baka ikaw ang walang choice." I stick my tongue out to pissed him off but he just chuckled.
I know we are wealthy. But personally, dad won't allow me to have my own kind level of this richness of what Pierce has. I'm not even managing any of our company nor the lands we have. Ayoko rin naman. I'm good with all my pinagkakaabalahan sa buhay.
"How much is this? Rent or bought?"
"Owned. Not less than a 9 digit numbers." sabi nito na parang wala lang sa kaniya ang laki ng halaga.
"Ikaw lang mag-isa dito?" usisa ko.
Umupo ako sa sofa at tiningnan siya. Napasimangot ako nang mapansin na ang tangkad niya pala. So, I gave too much effort on looking up to see his face.
Buti naman at napansin niya yun at umupo sa harapan ko.
"Yes. But I don't stay here often." he loosen the two buttons of his polo.
"Because of work?" I asked.
He nodded, "Because of work." ulit niya sa sinabi ko.
I'm not dumb to think that he is only working as a bodyguard. Pierce probably has another business.
"Ibig sabihin lagi akong maiiwan dito mag-isa?" he frowned while thinking.
Nilibot ko muli ang tingin ko, "Actually, okay lang naman. Hindi nakakabagot ang penthouse mo. I can roam around and do stuff." I assured him.
"No." he frowned, "What made you think I'll leave you alone?" binalik ko sa kaniya ang nagtatakang itsura.
"Huh? Wait, are you telling me that we should be together for 24/7?"
"Pinabantay ka ba sakin ng lolo at papa mo para magliwaliw ka mag-isa?" sakastimong saad niya.
Napanguso ako. Oo nga pala, he was hired to be my personal security slash ibantay sarado ako sa mga gagawing kalokohan kuno.
"I told you I will be good." mahinhin kong sabi.
He scoffed, "As if pigs can fly."
"Oo kaya! Tingin ka sa labas. Ayun oh!" nguso ko sa glass wall ng penthouse niya.
"Anong tingin mo sakin, uto-uto?"
"Di mabiro! Sungit." halukipkip ko.
An angel passed by for a minute. We were both silently checking each others out. Walang nagsasalita ni isa. Ano kayang nasa isip nito?
