Prologue

"Wait a minute," napatingin kaming lahat sa kaofficemate kong si Sara. Napataas ang kilay namin sa kanya, "Jensen, Isn't that your hot fiancée?" pasimple lang naman akong tumingin sa pwestong sinasabi niya kung nasaan si Rainier. I don't want them to know na kanina ko pa nakita si Rainier pagkapasok. And that's the reason why my mood is foul. I gently shake the margarita in my glass with ice. I frowned but didn't answer. Ano ako hilo? They're just my officemates, they don't need to know everything about me. Gagawin lang nila iyon chismis pag nakatalikod ako.

Ngumiti lang ako ng tipid. Nakahalata naman ata ang isa sa mga kaopisina ko dahil chinange niya ang topic. "Have you seen the hunk? Based on what I've researched about him, andito rin siya sa city ngayon!" di ko na pinansin ang pinaguusapan nila. Nagexcuse ako para pumunta sa cr. I need to wash my face. It's one way of calming myself.

Pagkalabas ko galing sa comfort room ay pakiramdam ko umabot sa moutn Everest ang kilay ko. The hell? May isang babae na grabe kung makapulupot sa fiancée ko to the point na ang lapit ng mukha nila. Wala namang emosyon sa mukha ni Rain pero nakatitig lang siya sa babae at walang ginagawa para itulak ito.

Most girls must've walked away but I'm not most girls. Kung hindi aalis ang babaeng iyan sa pwesto niya ako ang magpapaalis sa kanya.

With head held high naglakad ako papunta sa pwesto nila. I'm not boasting but with a height like mine, which is 5'9 and very rare for girls, I gather attention. Tumigil ako sa tapat nilang dalawa. I must've looked strict. A woman in her business attire, crossed arms and raised brows while standing in front of the two of them.

"What do you think you're doing a while ago?" I asked the girl calmly. So calm that it made Rainier gulp. Yes, babe. Be scared.

"Talking to him?" she answered in a 'duh' tone. Yeah right, more like flirting with him. "What do you think principal?" I heard snickers around us. There are few who left their seats, too. I think they don't want to be around when this conversation starts.

"I think you should get the hell away from here before I lose my composure and smash your face in the bar counter, pretty girl. You're talking to my fiancée in case you don't know." I said smiling sweetly.

She raised her brows bago tinapunan ng tingin si Rainier na nakatingin lang sa amin. Lagot ka sa aking lalaki ka, mamaya ka lang. Nagiti siya ng bahagya, "Woah, chill." aniya at nilingon si Rainier, "You've got a wild cat over here, boy. I'm out. I love my pretty face and you don't deserve it..." pabitin niya at lumingon sa akin saka ngumisi, "...yet. Bye." Aniya at nagflying kiss kay Rainier na hindi naman pinansin ng huli.

Pagkaalis ng babae ay lumapit ako kay Rainier at umupo sa tabi niya. I ordered margarita but he stopped me, "No. Go home, babe. It's late. What are you doing here anyway?" he asked me.

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you that?" tanong ko sa kanya bago binalingan ang bartender. "And may I have a margarita please? Don't mind him." Tumango lang naman ang bartender at narinig ko naman napabuntong hininga si Rain.

"So what are you doing here? Aside from flirting with other girls, that is." I said, sarcastically. The bartender placed the margarita in front of me so I thanked him. I saw Rain on my peripheral vision glaring at me.

"I wasn't flirting with other girls, as what you have said. I was minding my own business here. Come on, Sen. Are we really talking about this now?"

I glared back, "I don't know. Are we?"

"Stop, just stop with your sarcastic remarks, woman. I'm tired, you should go home."
