“Boss Breydon.” malapit na ako sa room ng makita kong lumabas si Allen from that door.
“Ah hi. Do you eat breakfast already?” I asked. He nodded.
“Yes kami ni Mamsie pero si ate hindi pa.”
“Why?” I asked. Bakit hindi pa siya nakain?
“She's sleeping.” he pointed the door. “Nasa loob pa siya at tulog. Puntahan mo na Boss, pupuntahan ko lang si Mamsie.” he tapped my shoulder and go.
I walk toward the door and open it. I saw her Papsie sleeping again and... there she is.
Sleeping on the couch.
I walk carefully on her direction, planning not to make a noise. When I'm already on her side, I sat on the sofa where she is sleeping.
“Andrea...” I whispered while caressing her hair.
“Hmm?” she said. I think she's in a deep sleep.
“Andrea... It's me.” I said with a little bit loud voice.
“Ano ba—BREYD—hmm!” tinakpan ko agad ang bibig nito ng magsalita ito. “Ssshhh your Papsie is sleeping.” I said. Tinanggal niya ang kamay ko sa bibig niya and umupo.
“Anong ginagawa mo dito?” tanong niya. Hindi ko mapigilang mapatitig sa kanya. D*mn! Even though kakagising niya pa lang, she looks beautiful!
“A-ah it's already 6 o'clock.” I said and her eyes widened.
“A-ano? Hala may trabaho pa ako!” tumayo agad siya at dumeretso sa CR.
“Hintayin mo na lang ako sa labas Breydon!” she said kaya tumayo ako at lalabas na sana ng kwarto but pumunta muna ako sa side table sa tabi ng Papsie niya at nilagay ang food na dala ko bago lumabas.
Sakto naman na lumabas ako ay tumunog ang phone ko, someone's calling.
“Hello.”
[Boss! Nasaan na kayo? May meeting kayo this morning, nalimutan niyo po ba?]
Oh sh*t! Ugh! I have a meeting this morning!
“Anong oras ang meeting?” I asked my secretary.
[7:30 Boss and it's already 6:35.]
I sighed, “Wait for me Jenie, I will attend the meeting.” I hung up the call then hinintay ko si Andrea sa pinto.
“Andrea.” pagkalabas niya ay lumapit agad ako.
“Are you going to work?” I asked her.
“Oo.” she answered. “Pero uuwi muna ako, hindi pa ako nagpapalit oh.” oh god, I can't make it! Malayo ang bahay nila dito and their home is far from the company.
“Ihahatid mo ba ako?” I saw a glimpse of shine in her eyes when she asked that. Oh sh*t! I can't say no! But how?
“I-I...” f*ck! I can't answer!
“Ok lang naman kung hindi.” she's trying to hide her feelings, I know it.
“A-ah no. Ihahatid kita, let's go?” I grab her hand and take her to the parking lot. I don't have any choice! I can't bare see her sad because I know she have a problem.
Pagdating namin sa bahay nila ay naligo agad siya at nagpalit ng damit. I checked the time and it's 7:00 am. Oh god, faster Andrea...
“Tara na Breydon.” thanks god nakalabas na agad siya ng bahay nila so sinakay ko na agad siya sa kotche ko. Napatitig ako sa kanya, she's so gorgeous in that white simple dress and a blazer.
“Do you want to eat?” hindi ko inisip kung bakit ko tinanong 'yun but I have to! Nag aalala ako sa kanya.
“Hindi pa nga eh, mamaya na sa company late na tayo oh.” I glanced on my watch and—20 minutes left!
“O-oh right.” I said at binilisan pa ang pag da-drive.
“Ok ka lang Breydon?” she asked. Halata ba ako? Sh*t! I smiled at her to assure her that I'm ok.
Pagdating agad namin sa company ay pinark ko na ang kotche ko at nilapitan si Andrea.
“I really need to go. Bye, see you later.” I gave her a light kiss from her head and cheeks saka mabilis na tumakbo papasok sa building.
Tinignan ko ang relo ko and d*mn, 5 minutes left. I'm hella nervous right now because my Dad will be there!
*ting!*
Nang mag bukas ang elevator aya agad na tumakbo ako papunta sa conference room at binuksan agad ang pinto nito.
“Akala ko hindi ka na dadating boss!” bulong sa akin ng secretary ko. Ngumiti muna ako sa lahat bago umupo sa pinakadulo, katapat ko si Dad and yeah, he's giving me a death glare.
Ow here's the CEO.
