Stuck En Strings (On-Going)

CHAPTER 5

"Yes."

"Hobby mo ba mag joke? Di bagay sa'yo ang weird eh."

He glared at me, and it immediately sent shiver down to my spine.

"I mean it. Every words I said, Catalina."

"At bakit mo naman ako gusto pakasalan!? We only met twice, not knowing each other's background--- well aside sa pagiging President mo sa isang kilalang kumpanya, iyon lang ang alam ko. Walang ligaw. Walang jowa moments, walang monthsary, anniversary at walang proper date. Normal na tao ka ba?"

Beat.

Beat.

My heart are pounding like a race.

Never leaving my eyes, he only laid his arms on the table and move his head closer towards me.

"I am." He answered.

Napanganga na lamang ako at hindi makapaniwala sa kanyang naturan.

Anong mindset to pota.

I slowly shrugged my head. Flustered.

"Uwi na ako, ayaw ko ng laro. Pangit mo ka-bonding." Bulalas ko, kumalas na sa titig nito at hinablot na ang aking bag sa gilid.

"We are not even playing Catalina. And if you want all of that---appreciation, gifts, attention, everything. I can give it to you once you accept my proposal."

"Pass, hanap ka nalang sa mga expensive girls na na-meet mo sa blind date para hindi sayang ang oras mo." I stood up, heavily sigh and ready to step my feet away.

Ngunit hindi pa man ako nakakaalis ay muli itong nag salita---- making me feel the unusual sensation of adrenaline rush towards my body.

"How much?"

I quickly took a glimpse on him and saw how he pull out his cheque booklet from his pocket and start to write something.

Tinaasan ko naman ito ng kilay.

"Ha?"

"How much do you want? Name your price and I'll make it double or even triple, as long as you will say yes and accept my offer, Catalina." He stated.

Napamaang naman ang aking labi.
