Lev's POV
“Hello Sir Kendrick,” Charlotte happily greeted.
I look at him with a blushing face.
“Hello, M-mr. Foster, a-any problem in the office?” I asked.
He lean at the table and gets closed to my face.
“Why so formal, Darling?” he asked in a husky voice.
Employees starts yelling and taking pictures. The crowd gets wilder when he kiss me in the cheeks.
“TANGINA!” mura ng isang empleyado. “KINIKILIG AKO SA INYO!” dagdag pa nito.
Mr. Foster just smiled.
“IS HE SMILING?! SHIT! HIS MORE HANDSOME WHEN SMILING!” shouted by Kelly.
He stands up and said, “Okay. Will I met my future in-laws tonight?” he asked.
I just nodded while looking at the floor.
“Bye, Lev.”
Before leaving, he left me with a kiss on the lips. Their screams become louder and louder when Mr. Foster left the cafeteria. I can’t help it but to smile. He really makes my day.
“He kissed you in front of his workers. He’s really proud with the relationship you both have, Lev. You’ve changed him, a lot,” Mr. Brahms said.
I smiled.
It’s already 6:30 in the evening. Where about to go in our house. He opened the window of his car.
“Get in Lev, you too Charlotte,” he said.
We immediately get in.
“Lev, sit beside me. Let Charlotte sit alone at the back,” he added.
I immediately change my sit. He starts driving. I’m busy listening ‘Willow’ by Taylor Swift, he suddenly hold left hand. Charlotte is trying to hide her KILIG. He started to sing.
“The more that you say
The less I know
Wherever you stray
I follow”
His voice, is like an angel. It’s make me fall inlove him. Am I already falling inlove with him?
“You know that my train could take you home
Anywhere else is hollow
Begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans
That's my man”
SONG NAME: WILLOW
ARTIST: TAYLOR SWIFT
I was stunned at that moment. I don’t know what to do. He stunned me by using his voice and looks.
“PUTANGINA NIYO!” mura ni Charlotte. “SHUTA KENDRICK! MAMATAY TAYO KAKAHARANA MO KAY LEV,” dagdag ni Charlotte. "Not like you, dying alone," dagdag asar ni Mr. Foster.
Mr. Foster just laughed.
“Atleast, I’m gonna die with my boo,” he said and smiled.
My face turns red. I turn around at the window. He still hold may hands tightly. We already reached our house. I open the door, I saw Papa and Mama sitting in the living room. Nagmano naman kami sa kanila.
“Tita?! Saan yung salad niyo dito?” sigaw ni Charlotte na dumiretso na pala sa ref namin.
Parang anak na nila Papa si Charlotte, komportable siya sa bahay namin. Kendrick bow at my family.
“Nice to meet you Sir and Ma’am,” he said formally.
Papa smiled.
“Nice to meet you, Ijo,” sabi ni Papa.
I’m about to introduce Mr. Foster to them when Charlotte suddenly shout.
“Tito, diba ang gwapo ng boyfriend ni Lev?” she shouted.
Mr. Foster just laughed.
“I’m Kendrick, Mr. Crein,” he introduced.
The both of them shake-hands.
“Upo muna kayo Ijo, pupunta lang ako sa kusina, baka NAUBOS na ang pagkain namin dahil kay Charlotte,” paalam ni Mama.
Umalis na si Mama.
”CHARLOTTE! WAG MONG KAININ ANG TINIRA KONG SPAGHETTI DYAN SA REF!” saway ni Papa. “Maiwan ko muna kayo Kendrick,” paalam ni Papa.
I just nodded. An awkard silence between the two of us while we are sitting. I started to blush again when he sit beside me and hold my hands.
“Stop blushing Lev, you look like a tomato,” he broke the silence.
He laughed. I still hide away my face.
“No need to hide your face, Lev,” he said.
I look at him. He touched my chin and kiss me on the lips.
“Kakain na daw L-“ putol na sabi ni Charlotte.
Charlotte accidentally drop the plate that she was holding. Buti nalang plastic ginamit ng Seville na ‘to.
“FUCK CHARLOTTE! You always ruin our moment,” cursed by Mr. Foster.
Charlotte gave Mr. Foster a peace sign. We are middle of eating, when Papa breaks the silence.
“Kendrick, do you love my son?” asked Papa.
I choked. Kendrick gave me a water.
“Yes Sir, a lot,” he said and look at me.
At the corner of the table, Charlotte just smiled creepily.
“Matanong ko lang Ijo, saan ba mga magulang niyo at ang bata bata mo pa ikaw na ang nagmamanage ng isang malaking kompanya?” tanong ni Mama.
Mr. Foster smiles turns into a serious face.
“They’re both dead. They passed away when I was 5,” he said in a serious tone.
I look at him straight, no blushing, no avoiding. Tears almost drop on his eyes.
“I’m sorry,” Mama apologized.
He smile again.
“It’s okay, atleast I have Lev now,” he said and hold my hand.
And again, I avoid looking at him. My heart starts to beat abnormally. I saw Charlotte hiding her kiligs. Baka mahimatay tong gagang toh.
“Who helped you run the company?” asked by Papa.
Kung palaging magbibisita si Sir Kendrick dito, magkakasundo talaga sila Papa.
“Dad’s bestfriend, Charlotte’s Uncle,” he said simply.
Mr. Brahms Dad? Kakatapos lang namin kumain. We are in the living room, Papa and Mr. Foster plays chest. Charlotte and I are watching them play. They are really serious. The tensions between the two was broke when Mr. Foster moved his last piece and ate Papa’s 5 pieces including the queen. I don’t know the correct term because I don’t play chess. Sorry.
“You are good, Kendrick. No wonder Lev chose you, you are not only handsome, you're smart too,” Papa said and laugh.
The both of them laugh.
“I have my inspiration right here,” he said and pat my head. "Dun kasi sa kusina ang aking inspirasyon," sabi ni Papa.
Mr. Foster stand up and said.
“I have to go Tito, Tita. It’s getting late,” he said.
Mama and Papa waved their hands. Hinatid ko naman siya sa labas.
“It was a great dinner Lev,” he said. “Your family is great,” he added.
I smiled.
“SHUTA KENDRICK! BA’T MO KO INIWAN?! HUMINGI PA NGA AKO NG PAGKAIN KANILA TITA!” sigaw ni Charlotte.
Eto talaga si Charlotte, puros pagkain iniisip. Ang sexy parin, ‘di tumataba. Sanaol may ganiyang metabolism.
“Fuck Charlotte! You always ruined everything. Get in already!”
Charlotte immediately get in.
“Thanks Lev,” he said and kiss me on the lips while in the middle of the bright full moon.
