Somebody To Call Mine (Completed)

KABANATA XII

Kabanata XII: Sino ang pipiliin ko?

"Oh Chrome andito ka na naman?" matawa-tawang bati ko sakanya. Nagulat akong makita siya dito ngayon in fact it's really odd to see him here right now. As far as I know next week pa siya dapat andito para sa scheduled meeting nila ni Ken.

"Tss are you done?" he ignored my question and gave me a bored look.

"Done where?"

"With your work?" naguguluhan ako sa sinasabi niya.

"Eh ano kung tapos na ko?"

Lumapit siya sakin at inagaw ang bag ko, "Then we'll eat our dinner." I was about to object but he didn't let me.

"No worries, I already told Troy and he'll take care of your boss." I almost rolled my eyes. He had it all planned. He's actually acting weird, the last time he's here he even kissed me in the forehead that turned my whole system topsy turvy.

"You really planned this don't you?"

"Isipin mo na ang gusto mong isipin." Aniya bago ko tuluyang kinaladkad. Sumunod na lang ako sa kagustuhan niya.

We rode his pick-up truck, "Now where are we headed?" I asked while struggling with my seatbelt. "Tsk until now you don't know how to put that on properly." Inagaw niya sakin yung strap at siya mismo ang nagkabit sakin.

It's a bad move. Our faces are inches away from each other. I can almost inhale his scent and it's making me feel uncomfortable. "Ahhm okay na" I broke our staring game.

He started the car and there's this awkward silence in the air. "How's life?" out of the blue question niya. "Just typical mas nakakapagod lang since I'm learning my new job description."

"Speaking of which anong pumasok sa isip mo at pumayag kang maging secretary nung Architect na yun?" tanong niya habang nakatuon ang atensyon sa pagmamaneho.

"Nothing special Chrome, maiba lang and there's nothing wrong being his secretary. " pagpapalusot ko. He's interrogating me like a criminal.

"It's just that it's not your cup of tea."

"I'm a fast learner Chrome, matutunan ko rin yun."

"Okay do as you wish"

Nagpark siya sa Belissima, ito yung restaurant ni Sam and foods taste really good in here. Nauna siyang bumaba at nagulat ako ng nagmamadali siyang umikot at pinagbuksan ako ng pintuan. "Off you go" he motioned my way out.

"You're acting really weird Chrome." pag-uusisa ko.

"No I'm not." Pagtatanggi niya.

I shrugged trying not to give any color on his actions. He's just being gentleman, tama nagiging gentleman lang siya. Sinalubong kami ng isang waitress, "Do you have any reservations Sir?" she asked.

"We have it's under my name, Chrome Villamayor." Naglabas siya ng calling card niya at ipinakita dun sa babae.

"Oh I see Sir, follow me."

Now I'm feeling creepy about this. He has reservations, so it means this is planned. OMG heart don't you palpitate. We sat down and the waitress gave us the menu.

"Hmmm give me 1 Chicago Style Prime Bone-In Ribeye and a bottle of wine. Ikaw?" tiningnan ko siya before answering "I'll try their Shrimp Alexander" naalala ko si Ken. He doesn't eat shrimps samantalang ako ay pabortiong paborito ko ito.
