Nanatiling nakatitig ako kay Nolan at tila gulantang parin sa mga nalaman. How could he bought Yna's company just like that!? Alam kong mayaman sila pero hindi ko lubos akalain na aabot sa ganito. And now he's willing to buy Alexie's company just to get me back!?
"S..Seryoso ka ba sa mga sinasabi mo!? I'm not breaking up with him kahit bilhin mo pa ang kompanya nila Alexie!" I assured him and he raised his eyebrows.
"Really, so what can I do para lubayan ka ng lalaking 'yon? Should I make you pregnant?" He said at mas lalong nanlaki ang mata ko at hindi napigilang itulak ang braso niya pero hindi parin yon naging sapat para lumayo siya sakin.
"Damn you Nolan hindi nakakatawa! Umalis ka na nga dito, we shouldn't talk about these stuff while we're in the office" I said and his playful smirk rose again.
"So saan tayo dapat mag usap, sa kwarto mo?" He asked again playfully kaya natampal ko naman ang kanyang braso sa inis ko sakanya. Akala niya ba talaga nakikipagbiruan ako!?
"I miss you my Zole, don't you miss me?" He teasingly ask at nalipat nanaman ang mga mata niya sa labi ko. Hindi ko siya masagot dahil hindi ko alam ang dapat na isagot. Bago pa man ako makasagot ay nahalikan na niya ko na para bang kanina pa siya nagpipigil na halikan ito. His kisses are soft but it's tempting so I immediately responded. Napasandal na ko sa sandalan ng swivel chair ko dahil dumidiin na ang mga halik niya sakin, his hands are supporting my chair not to move.
"N..Nolan-" I called him to make him stop but based on the tone of my voice, it doesn't sound like I want to stop him instead, his kisses became more intense. I admit, nothing really compares by the way his kisses do to my feelings. Siya lang ang nakakagawa sakin ng ganito. I think he lost his patience when he suddenly grab me from my chair and easily laid me down on my lounge sofa. He positioned himself on top of me while showering me his burning kisses to my neck. His hands are traveling around my body and I know that these will lead further if we continue. He suddenly stop at tinignan ako ng namumungay parin ang mga mata.
"Zole, break up with him already, ayokong ayoko may ibang humahawak o humahalik sayo. Ako lang dapat" He said and his tone is a bit irritated. I smiled at him and held his face.
"I miss you too," I simply replied dahilan para kaagad niya muli akong halikan pero ngayon ay mas nag aalab ito at unti unti ko naring nararamdaman ang pag angat ng dress ko! Ang bilis talaga ng kamay ng lalaking 'to.
"Damn it Zole you're making me crazy here, is this what you call professionalism?" He whisper kaya tinawanan ko siya.
"Its not my fault, sino ba selos na selos dito at tanong ng tanong ha?" I backfired at napatili ako ng naramdaman ko na ang kamay niya sa panty ko!
"Stop teasing me Zole or you'll scream in pleasure here on your damn office, it's not fucking soundproof at wala akong pakialam kahit madinig ka ng mga empleyado mo" He threatened kaya nanlaki ang mata ko. Napatikom kaagad ang bibig ko. He just sighed and gave me one last kiss on the forehead before getting up. Napatingin naman ako sa itsura ko and my goodness, my panties is already exposed dahil nakataas na ang laylayan ng dress ko hanggang tyan! Agad ko naman inayos ang sarili at umupo ng maayos. Damn it anong ginawa namin!?
"I'll meet you again later sa may exit, ihahatid kita pauwi" He said at aalma na sana ako pero pinigilan nanaman niya ko.
"Just tell your driver that I'm taking you home kaya huwag ka na niya sunduin dito" He added at lumabas na ng office ko. Pakyu ka Nolan tas iiwan mo ko ng ganon ganon lang!? We just freaking make out inside my office! For God's sake Zole saan napunta ang sanity mo!? Pero ang iritasyon ay kaagad napaltan ng kilig while reminiscing what we did, gosh we almost did it and for sure kung soundproof ang opisina ko ay hindi na talaga siya magpipigil pa. Nag retouch nalang ulit ako ng lipstick dahil nabura ata kanina and pilit ko muli ipinokus ang sarili sa trabaho.
After ng ilang oras ng pagtatrabaho ay napagdesisyonan ko ng umuwi. Nagpaalam na ko kela Valentina and quickly headed my way down the exit of the building and kaagad nahagip ng mata ko si Nolan, standing there while patiently waiting. Napangiti naman ako at kaagad siya nilapitan.
"So you really waited for me huh?" I asked, he just look at me and walk towards his car at binuksan ang pintuan ng passenger seat kaya kaagad naman na ko sumakay not forgetting to put on my seatbelt, mahirap na baka matsansingan nanaman ako ng lalaking to. Nakasakay narin siya at napansin niyang nakasuot na sakin ang seatbelt kaya nagtaas ako ng kilay.
"I didn't forget it these time, sorry better luck next time" I teased him kaya he just chuckled at pinaandar na ang sasakyan.
"Do you want to eat first bago ka umuwi?" He asked.
"Hmm pwede naman, doon nalang sa paborito kong restaurant na malapit dito we can eat there" I said and he nodded, mukhang tanda niya parin ang tinutukoy kong restaurant infairness sakanya ah.
"I hired a private investigator to check on Alexie's backround, I figure na mas makakabuti nga na kilalanin ko muna siyang maigi just to be sure not just for my safety but for the company as well" I said habang patungo parin kami sa restaurant.
"I've already done that Zole, did you really think I would warn you if I didn't find anything suspicious towards that bastard?" He replied kaya nanlaki naman ang mata ko. So totoo ngang may nalaman siyang hindi maganda kay Alexie?
"Anong nalaman mo tungkol sakanya? Bakit mo ko pilit pinapaiwas bukod sa nagseselos ka?" I asked and his now parking the car infront of the resto.
"I'm not so sure yet, we're still investigating but don't worry I wouldn't let anything happened to you" He assured me kaya tumango na lamang ako. Kung may nalaman nga sila Nolan, I really may should lessen my interaction towards Alexie, maybe I should also broke up with him pero hindi pa sa ngayon, magagamit ko siguro ang relasyon namin para malaman ang mga nililihim niya.
We entered the restaurant and order my usual favorite foods, siya pa mismo umorder dahil confident siya na alam niya parin ang madalas kong inoorder na mga pagkain, turns out he still memorize it.
"Now that you know that Alexie guy is suspicious, you should break up with him while it's still early Zole" He said at umirap naman ako sa sinabi niya.
"Bago palang kami ni Alexie Nolan, do you think hindi rin siya mag sususpetsa if bigla ako kaagad makipag break? Baka isipin niya pa nagkabalikan na tayo kaya ako nakikipaghiwalay" I said and he raised his brows.
"Bakit hindi pa nga ba?" He asked kaya nanlaki ang mata ko at napainom ng tubig.
"O..Ofcourse not! Boyfriend ko pa nga si Alexie so obviously we don't have a relationship right now Nolan" I exclaimed and he chuckled a little bit while clenching his jaw na parang nairita nanaman sa sinagot ko.
"So what the hell did we do earlier huh? Bonding as friends?" He blurted kaya nasamid tuloy ako sa iniinom kong tubig!
"Nolan! Okay fine, but we had to keep our relationship a secret, hindi pwedeng malaman ng ibang tao lalong lalo na ni Alexie" I gave up and his eyes are still serious.
"So gagawin mo pa kong kabit? Damn it Zole we made love numerous times before tas gagawin mo kong kabit ngayon?" He irritatedly said kaya napakamot na ko sa ulo ko. Ang hirap naman paamuhin ng lalaking to! Can't he just understand the situation than worry about his damn ego!?
"You have to understand Nolan, we have to find out if ano ba talagang pakay ni Alexie towards me or the company so we have to hide our relationship. Don't worry, I'll try to meet up with you outside the office more frequently at irereport ko sayo lahat ng pinag uusapan at ginagawa namin ni Alexie" I assured him with my puppy eyes. He stared at me for a moment and finally he gave in.
"Fine, meet me in my condo then, doon lang ang pinaka safe na lugar na hindi tayo makikita ng ibang tao" He agreed, aalma sana ako na bakit sa condo niya pa pero okay narin siguro yon atleast pumayag na siya kahit papaano. Naiserve na ang mga pagkain namin at kaagad na kami kumain.
After we ate ay inihatid na niya ko pauwi.

Kinabukasan ay napagdesisyonan naming magkita ni Skylar, it's been awhile na hindi kami nagkikita because she's also busy at ngayon lang siya nagkaroon ng bakanteng oras para makipagkita. We decided to meet up in one of our favorite salon and spa. Mag papamper daw siya ng sarili niya dahil sa ilang linggong stress na inabot niya sa trabaho.
"Hi Zole! It's nice to finally see and chat with you in person my god! How do I look mukha ba kong haggard?" Kaagad niyang tanong sakin kaya natawa naman ako't umiling.
"No you're not Sky you look great. Halika na at tayo na ang susunod" Anyaya ko at umupo na kami sa sofa kung saan kami magpapa mani pedi with foot scrub and massage. Ito ang isa sa pinaka favorite naming bonding dalawa.
"So Zole, how does it feel to be a two timer now huh? My goodness hindi ko inakalang mag to-two time ka ng dalawang gwapo at mayamang lalaki ah haba ng hair!" Aniya kaya napakunot naman ang noo ko.
"Hindi ako nag to-two time Skylar, yes I have relationship with Alexie pero alam naman naming parang fling palang relationship namin. I've been honest towards my feelings towards him and he saids he's willing to pursue until the day comes that I will like him back, but sa sitwasyon namin ngayon mukhang malabo ng mangyari 'yon" I explained at napasandal sa sandalan ng sofa while closing my eyes.
"Hmm okay if you say so. Kamusta naman kayo ni Nolan? Grabi siya ah kanda tago ka pa naman maigi ng tungkol sa sakit mo pero nalaman parin niya! Ang lala niya magstalk sayo"
"Hindi rin ako makapaniwala na nalaman niya ang pinaka tinatago kong sikreto pero hindi na daw mahalaga pa na malaman ko kung paano niya nga nalaman. Ayoko narin siyang kulitin but ang mahalaga, maluwag na ang loob ko at wala na kong nililihim" I sighed heavily na parang nawala na ang mabigat na nakadagan sa puso ko sa mahabang panahon. It's really fulfilling and peaceful to think na wala ka ng nililihim lalo na sa taong mahal mo.
"Congrats to that siz! We deserve these celebration, kain tayo mamaya sa favorite nating restaurant ah, kakain ako ng marami ngayon deserve ko 'to!" She said happily kaya natawa nalang ako at tumango.
After namin sa spa and salon ay dumaretso na nga kami sa restaurant and we ordered our foods and drink. Patuloy parin sa pag rarant sakin si Skylar sa dami ng ginagawa niya sa opisina and all I could react is nod and agree to all of her words.
"So you're also here Zole. I don't know if I'm glad to see you" Biglang bungad samin ni Yna na ikinagulat ko. Oh no, this is not going to end well.
"Y..Yna you're here, are you meeting with someone?" I tried to speak politely but base on her expression, she doesn't want to talk politely with me either.
"Kamusta kayo ni Nolan ngayon? Nagkabalikan na kayo right? So when is the wedding? Invite niyo naman ako" She sarcastically said kaya napapikit nalang ako upang pakalmahin ang sarili,
"Yna, alam kong masama loob mo sakin but believe me, hindi ko intensyong guluhin kayo ni Nolan-" She cut me off when she suddenly slap me kaya napatayo ako. Her eyes is furious at alam kong galit na galit siya sakin.
"Huwag ka ngang magsinungaling! Alam kong hindi ka naman talaga bumalik dito para sa kompanya niyo eh, you came back para agawin sakin si Nolan!" She shouted angrily. Nakakaagaw na siya ng atensyon ng ibang tao kaya pilit kong kinakalma ang sarili dahil ayoko mag eskandalo.
"Yna, bumalik ako dito para sa kompanya namin, if my Dad doesn't need me to manage our company here then wala naman talaga akong planong bumalik pa dito. Stop your nonsense assumptions at wala akong intensyong agawin ang Fiance mo!" I explained and she laughed sarcastically.
"She's telling the truth Yna, please huwag kang mag eskandalo dito at mag usap kayo ng maayos" Mahinahong sabi ni Skylar sakanya. Alam kong nagpipigil nalang din ng kanyang sarili si Skylar, but if Yna goes beyond further, pareho na kami hindi makakapagtimpi.
"Of course kakampihan mo yang bestfriend mo, look at you both... bagay talaga kayong magkaibigan because your both a slut!" Sabi nanaman ni Yna kaya hindi ko napigilan si Skylar ng bigla niyang hinablot ang isang basong tubig at tinapon iyon sa mukha ni Yna. Yna screamed in frustration at ngayo'y basang basa na siya.
"How dare you bitch!" She screamed at akmang sasampalin si Skylar but I immediately grab her pulse before she did.
"Stop these nonsense Yna! Alam kong galit ka dahil hindi na matutuloy ang kasal niyo ni Nolan but it was never my decision to do it! Hindi ko hawak ang isip ni Nolan kaya wala kang karapatang sisihin ako sa naging desisyon niya." I said with a bit of irritation and anger on my voice. Binawi niya ang kamay niyang hawak ko and look at me angrily.
"It's your fault! Hindi magbabago ang isip ni Nolan kung hindi ka bumalik dito para ahasin siya! Mark my words Zole, I will bring him back and I will ensure that he will marry me whether he like it or not!" She said at nag walk out na palabas ng restaurant.
"That bitch! Nag eskandalo pa talaga dito, sayang ang pag papa spa at salon natin dahil sakanya kaloka!" Skylar said at napapikit nalang ako. Ito ang isa sa iniiwasan kong mangyari at nangyari na nga. Hindi ko alam kung kailangan ko pa sabihin kay Nolan ang tungkol dito but this is just the beginning of the challenges we may encounter dahil nagkabalikan na kami.
"Let's go Skylar umuwi nalang tayo, nawalan na ko ng gana" I said at nauna ng lumabas ng resto, I couldn't stand anymore the stares of the people around the area dahil sa ginawa ni Yna. Skylar and I parted ways at hanggang ngayon hindi mawala sa isip ko ang ginawang eskandalo ni Yna. Wala naman talaga akong kasalanan diba? She also said that she will do everything to bring Nolan back to her. I wonder what does she mean by that? Bigla naman tumunog ang cellphone ko at tumatawag pala si Alexie. I answered the call.
"Hi Zole! Just checking if you're free by tomorrow at lunch time? It's been awhile narin kasi since we had a date" He asked at napaisip naman ako sa alok niya. Simula ng binalaan ako ni Nolan sakanya ay nagiging mailap at madalang na ang pakikipagkita ko sakanya.
"S..sure no problem, I'll meet you tomorrow at lunch" I agreed.
"That's good to hear, okay see you tomorow. Bye!" He said and I ended the call. Hindi ko alam kung paano ko malalaman ang tinatago niya ng hindi siya nakakahalata. Maybe I should ask about their company since bihira talaga siya magkwento relating to that.
