The Beauty of Tomorrow (Montejo Siblings #2)

Chapter 28

"So, what does it feel to meet him... again?" Tanong agad ni Morgan sakin.

I leaned my back on the backrest seat. Hinawi ko ang mahaba kong buhok papunta sa kaliwang balikat bago humalukipkip.

"Good..." I breathe.

Umangat ang kilay ni Phoenix mula sa rear mirror. Sumimangot naman ako. I know that reaction too well! Iniwas ko ang tingin sa kanya at sumulyap sa labas ng bintana.

"How did it turn out good? Did he kissed you or what..." He fired.

Marahas akong napabaling sa kanya. Tumatawa namang lumingon sakin si Morgan.

"Do you want me to punch you or what?" Singhal ko sa kanya.

I heard Morgan laughed. Umikot ang mga mata ko at maarteng umismid sa kanya. How the fuck will Maddieson kiss me? And where did they get that idea nang mapasabog ko.

"Malay mo..." Ngisi ni Nix.

"Oh, come on Kuya! You know I won't like that." Inis na sabi ko.

"I know, my princess. But I'm really curious..." He stopped for a moment. "What was his reaction the moment he saw you?"

His reaction? Hmm. Well, wala naman siyang ibang ginawa kanina kun'di ang magsalita at tumunganga sa akin. Now, I'm starting to like his reactions. Kung nakakatunaw nga lang ang pagtitig ay baka matagal na akong nag-melt.

"Hmmm... A. Tulala? B. Tulala? Or C? Tulala?" Ngisi ko.

Morgan laughed. "All of the above!"

Umiling ako. What a joke... But when I think about it, I can't help but get excited for the upcoming days that I will be working in his company. Kailangan sa bawat araw ay may pasabog, dapat mamangha siya sakin. Sisiguraduhin ko 'yon.

Nang makauwi ay agad akong dumiretso sa sariling kwarto at inayos ang mga gamit na kakailanganin ko bukas. These include my personal belongings and working stuffs. Nang matapos 'yon ay nagpalit ako ng all black leather suit at kinuha ang susi ng aking motorcycle.

Meet me at the nearest cafe in your place, Attorney.

Copy, Atty. Davies.

At sa ibaba non ay 'yong exact location. I didn't even bother to tell my brother and cousin, I just put the tracking device chip inside the necklace my mother gave me. Automatic nang magsi-signal 'yon sa active devices nung dalawa oras na makaalis ako.

Mabilis ang patakbo ko sa aking Ducati. Walang pakialam sa mga nalalagpasan kong nagrereklamo, dahil bakit pa? I'm in a freaking high way for pete's sake. Naisip ko nga na mas maganda 'to kung sa gabi dahil wala ng masyadong mga sasakyan na kasabay at malamig pa ang hangin.

Bago mag alas-tres ng hapon ay nakarating na ako sa aking destinasyon. I parked my motorcycle in the empty space. Swabe akong bumaba ng aking sasakyan kasabay nang pagtanggal ko sa aking itim na helmet.

My long hair exploded and danced with the air. I shook my head as I combed them with my fingers.

Ipinatong ko ang helmet sa upuan ng aking motorsiklo bago taas noong pumasok sa loob ng cafe kung nasaan ang taong kikitain ko. And there... I saw him sitting near the glass wall, holding a paper while his other hand was folded on his chest.

I raised my eyebrow. Nang makalapit ay tumikhim ako. He looked at me, and then he stood up.

"Good afternoon, Attorney..." Bati niya at naglahad ng kamay.
