My Boss' Fling and First Love (On Edit)

Chapter 9 - His Property

Jai's POV

"Who's your first love?"

HUMALUKIPKIP AKO at tinignan siya nang seryoso. Drake's smile disappeared. Iniwas niya ang tingin niya sa akin na ikinangisi ko. There you are, it looks like he has no plan of telling me who's his first love at all.

He stood up without saying anything. Nawala ang ngisi ko at napayuko na lang. He won't tell me about his first love, why am I even hoping that he will? Jeez, I'm so foolish.

"This is not the right time to talk about it, Jai," he said while washing his hands.

I nodded to stop my tears from falling. I don't want to show to anyone I am hurting, even on Drake. I bit my lower lip and decided to leave. Narinig niya ata ang paggalaw ng upuan kaya nilingon niya ako. Hindi ko sinalubong ang tingin niya at nagsalita.

"I'll go upstairs," I said and didn't wait for him to answer.

Lumabas ako sa kusina at hindi na ininda ang sakit na nararamdaman ko physically. H.ck, mas nangingibabaw na ngayon ang sakit sa puso ko.

I was about to open my door but I can't stop my tears anymore. Napahawak ako sa doorknob at tinakpan ang bibig ko. I let my tears to fall while hoping that it will ease the ache that I'm feeling inside. I didn't know that it will hurt this bad. I like him, I could even fall in love for him but he can't just do the same.

Drake's first love will always be the winner of his heart. Not me, never will be me. Compare to his first love, I'm just his maid. More like a fling or just nothing.

Pinunasan ko ang mga luha ko at pumasok sa kwarto. After so many years, sa isang lalaki pa ako muling iiyak. I can't believe myself. I can't believe what the hell all happened since I entered this mansion. Hindi nga ako nawalan ng trabaho, pero nawala naman ang dapat na mas pinahalagahan ko.

I HEARD some knocks, causing me to open my eyes. Nahirapan pa akong buksan ang mga mata ko dahil sa mga luhang namuo.

I stood up to open the door. Hindi ako nagpakita ng kahit na anong emosyon nang malamang si Drake ang kumatok. Nakangiti siyang nakatayo sa harapan ko. He's holding a paper bag and I'm sure, it's still clothes for me. I looked at him blankly, waiting for him to break the silence. Seconds later, he finally spoke.

"Uhm, hi. Please wear this. I just want to bring you out of here, maybe you're getting bored so we'll go somewhere," he said while still smiling, walang bakas na nagpapaalala sa naging game namin kanina sa kusina.

Sabi na nga ba at ako lang 'tong laging nagdadamdam ng mga nangyayari. What a pitiful trait of mine, tsk.

I nodded at him to show my approval. I took out the paper bag from his grasp gently. Iningatan kong hindi magtama ang mga daliri namin.

"I'll wait for you downstai–"

Isinara ko na ang pinto at hindi na siya hinayaang matapos sa pagsasalita. Sumandal ako sa pinto at hindi mapigilang mapabuntong-hininga. How could he be like that? Should I act normal too just like how he acts?

No matter how I think of it, I still have no idea of what I'm going to do with him.

I took a shower and I hope that this water will take off not only the bacterias in my body but also my thoughts about him. Matapos magtapis sa tuwalya at magpatuyo ay isinuot ko na ang dress na iniabot niya sa'kin kanina.

It's a sleeveless black dress with a high slit at the right side downward. It has a tie behind my neck and I tied it tightly, making sure that it won't loose easily. It's backless and has a long v shape in front. This long dress exposes my cleavage and my bare back. I'm sure that it will uncover my right leg too when I walk. I love how it hugged my body and I don't feel conscious wearing it.

I stepped my both foot inside the new black stilettos he also bought.

Napailing ako, gustong-gusto niya talagang gumastos sa pagbili ng mga susuotin at gagamitin ko, pwede naman kasing umuwi muna ako saglit ng apartment ko at kumuha ng ilang mga gamit doon.

I observe myself in the mirror. I smiled because of amazement on how I look. I could say that this dress suits me perfectly. I'm starting to feel the confidence that is naturally born with me.

I can't help but wonder if it's Drake who chose this, if it's him then he has a really good taste. My smile grew wider, thinking about it lightened my mood.

Sinuklay ko ang buhok ko saka naglagay ng oil na magpapalambot dito. Hinati ko ito sa gitna bago maayos na ipinusod sa likuran. I put a brown eye-shadow and a black eyeliner in my eyes making it to look brighter. I put a brick red lipstick and a brown blush at my face. Tumitig ako sa repleksyon ko sa salamin habang inilalagay ang mascara sa pilikmata ko.

I stared at myself in a full-length mirror. I smiled with satisfaction and contentment on how I look. I heaved out a sigh before deciding to leave the room.

I saw Drake who awaits me patiently. He's wearing a black tuxedo with a white button-up shirt inside and a nice black necktie. And yes, he look handsome as always.

I held my black pouch tightly as I began to step down the stairs. Naramdaman kong lumihis sa'kin ang titig ni Drake nang marinig niya ang tunog na nilikha ng high heels kong suot.

I gulped when I saw him staring at me. His mouth is half open and his eyes is full of admiration. Is he amazed by my outfit and at my uh, face? Gosh, I don't want to assume.

He cleared his throat and blinked a hundred times. I bit my lower lip to stop myself from smiling. Inalok niya ang kamay niya nang ilang hakbang na lang ay makakababa na ako, I accepted his hand. Napatingin ako sa kaniya nang hindi niya bitawan ang kamay ko hanggang sa makalabas na kami.

"You look like a goddess," bulong niya at pinagbuksan ako ng pinto ng sasakyan.

I gave him a small smile. I'm still not in the mood to talk to him. I can't help but sigh after sitting at the passenger's seat. Malalaking hakbang ang ginawa niya para makapasok din kaagad sa kotse.

A couple of minutes with a silent atmosphere inside his car, we finally stopped. When I looked outside, I'm amused to see what is in our front right now. This building breathtaking. It's so beautiful because of its lights which can be clearly seen because of the evening sky. Nasa pinakataas nito ang malalaking letra na likha din ng mga nakasinding ilaw.

Patterson Empire's Company

I gulped, is this... his property? It's really big!

"Let's go inside, sweetheart. May importante lang akong itatanong. Then, you'll come with me on a party of celebration."

Hindi ko nagawang lumingon sa kanya dahil nasa building pa rin ang atensyon ko. Kamusta na kaya ang mga pagmamay-ari nina Dad? Sayang ang mga pinaghirapan nila. Sanang nagawa kong ipagpatuloy pa ang lahat ng mga 'yon.

He opened the door but this time, hindi ko tinanggap ang kamay niyang inalok sa'kin. Bahala siya dyan. Narinig ko ang saglit na pagtawa niya pero nagkunwari akong tumitingin pa rin sa building. I look like an idiot for sure.

Napaigtad ako nang pumalibot sa baywang ko ang kamay niya at ang labi niyang dumampi at marahang kumagat sa teinga ko, what the h.ck?!

"I want to show them that you're my property," he said. I can't identify the tone of his voice or maybe I'm just denying the fact that he sounds possessive for a moment. D.mn.

Hindi pa ata ako makakagalaw doon kung hindi niya ako ginayak papasok gamit ang kamay niyang nakapalibot pa rin sa baywang ko.

I'm turning really insane. What does he want from me?
