No Strings Attached

Nathan's POV

It's already been a week simula nang huling magkita sina Nathan at Shey. Naging busy si Nathan sa trabaho nito at mukhang ganoon rin si Shey dahil hindi pa siya nito kinokontak simula ng araw ng iyon and he kind of missed her. Her smile, her voice, the way she moves, the way her body touches his and the way she moans to every move Nathan make.

"Fuck!" Nathan hissed as he stand up from his seat and go outside the office para magpakalma ng utak at katawan bago pa may mag-react. This is not right. Naiiba na ang epekto sa kaniya ni Shey but one thing is clear, it's not Love and it must not lead to that or else everything will be ruined.

Nathan is working in a well-known bank in Ayala, Makati as an accountant. Nagpaalam siya sa Manager niya na magte-take ng break bgo lumabas ng bangko at magtungo sa kalapit na coffee shop para doon magpakalma ng utak.

With his eyes keeping on glancing his cellphone, checking whether Shey already replied. Hanggang sa mainis siya't dinampot ang cellphone na nakalapag sa mesa at dinial ang number ni Shey.

It rings .. First ring .. Second ring .. Third ring .. Fourth ring . Fifth ring ..

"The number you are calling is currently not available."

"What the hell is she doing?" inis na napahilamos ng mukha si Nathan gamit ang palad niya. He sip a coffee at tumingin na lamang sa labas ng shop nang mapansin niyang may magkasintahang tila nag-aaway. That's when he remembered what Shey told him about her Ex.

Nathan sighed. He don't know why Shey must experienced that kind of pain because she don't deserve that.

"That's why I hate commitment" bulong na lamang niya sa sarili.

"You hate what Than?" agad na napalingon si Nathan sa nagmamay-ari ng boses niyon.

"S-shey?!" It was none other than Shey ang babaeng kanina pa umookupa ng isip niya. Nakatayo ito sa harapan niya giving him a sweet smile bago umupo sa upuang kaharap niya.

"Why you looked so shocked? Para kang nakakita ng patay ah." Shey chuckled, get Nathan's cup and drink some on it. "keh.. too bitter" she reacted sticking out her tongue due to the bitterness of the coffee.

"That's espresso babe and hey why do you think I got shocked? Kasalanan lang nmn ng isa jan na hindi man lang nagparamadam sa akin ng halos isang linggo. You could've texted me!"

"What are you Than, my boyfriend?" natatawang tanong niya sa binata.

"I get worried too you know" frowning Nathan murmurs and look away.

"My bad. Nahulog kasi sa tubig 'yung cellphone ko so I bought a new one dahil nasa pagawaan pa. Give me yours ilalagay ko number ko. I forgot your number din kasi.

Nathan gave his phone to Shey and silently watch her. Shey is wearing light make up that match her fair complexion, wearing a maroon turtle neck and a black slacks na pinatneran nito ng red doll shoes . Her hair tied in a messy bun and yet it made her looked even more seductive and sexy. Nang mag-angat ng ulo si Shey ay tumigil na si Nathan sa pag-a-analisa sa dalaga.

"Nga pala, paano mo nalamang nandito ako?" agad na tanong ni Nathan sa kaharap.

"I happen to pass by and saw you here sakto nga eh kasi hinahanap ko yung workplace mo kasi alam ko dito ka lang sa ayala nagtatrabaho. I saw you sighing and mumbling in the corner of this shop. May problema ka ba?"

"Ikaw ang problema ko actually pero okay na. Are you free tonight?" Nathan smiled at her showing his deep dimples to catch Shey's attention at hindi naman siya nabigo.

"Yes. Wala naman akong pasok kasi i'm on a one-week vacation leave starting today." Shey returned the smile.

"Oh that's good! Stay at my place for 2 days and 3 nights friday naman ngayon at wala rin akong pasok ng weekend so give me company. How's that?" Nathan grins. Dahil alam niyang alam rin ni Shey kung saan hahantong ito. He's so excited that he's already thinking of asking for an early out in his boss para lang makasama agad si Shey.

"That's fine with me wala naman akong maisip na pupwedeng puntahan."

"Good. Wait for me here magpapaalam lang ako sa boss ko, then we'll go lunch together okay?"

"Sure"
