Mystique Flower

Chapter 17

HE CONVINCED Ayze to bring her clothes on his unit, and now nagkusa siya mismo na magdala ng mga damit niya sa unit nito. Zayndrei didn't told her beforehand, nagulat na lang ang dalaga sa mga bitbit niya nang magising ito.

She looks like a fresh flower, early in the morning. Kahit pa nga panay ang irap nito sa kanya. Ayze already took a shower and now wearing a damn tube top paired with her trouser.

He already readied her breakfast, pati na rin ang para sa alaga nila. Kage loves to snuggle him, pero napansin ni Zayndrei na ang mommy na nito ang paborito nito ngayon. With all the treats, cat clothes, and toys? Talaga naman magiging balimbing ang alaga niya.

"How's their company going?" biglang tanong sa kanya ni Ayze.

He glanced at her after rolling his sleeve up to his elbow and answered, "Doing bad. They've been stressing me out. Anyway, what happened to his proposal for Sacxer?"

"I kind of pissed him off? There's no way Sacxer would accept it." Confident na sagot nito sa kanya. "I saw the offer though. Did you do it?"

"Was it good?" tanong niya at mahinang natawa.

Inirapan siya nito at itinaas ang tasa na hawak nito. "Yeah, too fucking good."

Namulsa ito saka lumapit sa kanya para tulungan siya nito na isuot ang necktie niya. Zayndrei couldn't help but to smile while watching her tying his necktie, her face was straight, sobrang gaan din ng kamay nito.

He can smell her signature perfume. She never used any other brand of perfumes, kahit may mga pabango na regalo para kay Ayze, naka display lang 'yon sa kwarto niya. Ayze even gifted some of it to his siblings and his mom.

"Damn, can we have a quickie?" bulong niya. Sapat na para marinig siya ni Ayze.

Tinapik ni Ayze ang dibdib niya nang matapos ito sa pag-aayos ng necktie niya.

"I would love to but... you're no longer my employee, Zayndrei. Someone's calling you, kanina pa. Hindi mo ba naririnig?" tumaas ang isang kilay nito sa kanya.

Pinadaan niya ang dulo ng dila sa pang-ibabang labi at sinulyapan ang cellphone niyang nag-iingay sa counter top sa kusina.

"Damn it!" He hissed. "Kailan mo ba ako babawiin?"

Malambot ang ekspresyon na nilingon niya si Ayze. She crossed her arms and shrugged at him.

"Kung gusto mo bumalik, edi bumalik ka." Ayze answered. Tinalikuran na siya nito at pumasok sa loob ng kwarto nito.

This was the only time where Zayndrei could freely see the side of Ayze, ang ugali nito na namana nito sa mommy nito. She always acts tough, just like her father.

Dinampot niya ang cellphone at nakita ang sandamakmak na missed calls galing kay Windelle. He was actually trying to go easy and nice with her, but she's really testing his patience.

Sa mga taon na lagi silang magkasama ni Ayze, himala na lang talaga na hindi siya nahawa sa sobrang ikli ng pasensya nito. His brows furrowed when he received a message from Windelle.

From: Windelle

Are you ignoring my calls? Pick it up, will you?

Umikot ang mga mata niya sa nabasa. Such controlling woman, hindi niya 'yon nagustuhan. Although, there's always an exemption. And that's Ayrelle. His Zehra.

Mabilis siyang nagtipa ng reply niya para sa babae.

To: Windelle

I'm on my way. Don't call.

From: Windelle

Where are you? Wala ka sa unit mo.
