THE DEAL

TD- 58

Since their performance is done, she went to the mini bar to get a drink. She asked for a glass, followed by two more.

Aga walked up to her and approached her. He extended his hand, "Hi, miss. I'm Aga. You are?"

She giggled and looked at him, "Your nightmare."

Aga smirked, "Baka sweet dream?"

She smiled and winked at him.

"Kanina, ikaw ang nagbabawal sa akin na uminom." he told her and sat beside her.

"Bawal?"

"Ang pag-bawalan ako? Hindi."

She nodded, "Good."

He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her.

She chuckled, "Kakakilala ko lang sa'yo."

"Sorry, excited lang ako."

She smiled and playfully slapped his arms, "Ang landi mo. Kailan ka ba magbabago?"

"Gusto mo namang landiin kita, 'di ba?"

She raised her eyebrow at him and drunk another glass.

"Lei." he called her.

She looked at him and threw a questioning look.

"I want to have you back."

Early in the morning the next day, she received a text message from Aga telling her that he couldn't pick her up for he has an important meeting to attend to today. She frowned but told him it's fine.

No, it's not.

Joke, ang clingy.

She stood up and fixed herself. She didn't bother to have a breakfast for she saw that she's almost late today.

Upon reaching her company, she saw her employees gathering in one of the cubicles. She approached them and saw them eating something.

"Uy, Lei, try mo 'to. Sarap." Vice invited her.

Her eyes twinkled upon seeing big shrimps on the table.

She sat down and ate with them. Not minding what the shrimp might bring her.

After a moment, they were all done eating. She decided to enter her office to brush her teeth again. Vice and Dawn followed her.

"Saan ka napadpad kagabi?" Vice asked her and sat on the couch.

"Umuwi."

"With Aga." added Dawn. "Hindi ka man lang nagpaalam, ah."

She smiled, "Sorry. I got drunk."

"Oh my gosh. Lasing ka? Tapos inuwi ka ni Aga? And then, what happened next?"

She laughed, "Oa mo, Vice. Kapag lasing, may mangyayari agad? Hinatid niya lang ako. Showbiz ka masyado."

"Ay, sorry naman."

She entered her mini restroom inside her office to brush her teeth but she noticed that there were already red marks on her skin plus her headache is starting to attack her.

She sneezed and shrugged it off, "Mawawala rin 'to." she told herself.

It's been a year since she last had her allergies. She didn't worry about it because the last time she ate shrimp, her allergies didn't show up.

Or maybe, she just got too confident?

She went out of her restroom, sneezing. Dawn and Vice noticed it. "Are you sick?"
