Catalina POV
"Where are you going?" Tanong ni Andreas.
"To work! Where else do you think I'd go?" I answered.
"That's what you said last time but your security said you left without them. Where were you, Catalina?" I knew he was keeping a tab on me.
"Work. I swear!" Tumayo ito.
"Catalina?" Damn it! I swear, I can't hide anything from him anymore. He's so over protective.
"May hinahanap kasi ako eh!" I finally confessed.
"Hinahanap? What is it? Catalina, have Henry look for it instead of you running around like a headless chicken!" Pshh, headless chicken pala ah! Hinagis ko sa kanya ang unan na malapit sa paanan niya.
"Headless chicken pala ah!" I giggled.
"Are you flirting with me Mrs. Torres?" He asked. Damn the look he's giving me is so laglag panty.
"Oh I wouldn't dare! I heard your wife runs around like a headless chicken! Pretty serious stuff!" Tumayo siya and grabbed me.
"I like it when my wife who runs around like headless chicken flirts with me!" He smirks and slowly brushes his hands on my waist.
"Why Mr. Torres, did you not get enough last night?!" I playfully said.
"I can never get enough of you Mrs. Torres!" He trailed kisses on my neck. I tense when he stop. "But seriously, what ever it is you're up to let Henry know so he can help you. I don't want you going out by yourself. If you do take your bodyguards with you!" Oh boy. Si Mr. Bossy is back.
"Yes, BOSS!" I gave him a quick kiss and left our room. Pag baba ko I can hear the kids arguing about something.
"NO YOU DO IT!" Andrea yelled. They both stopped after they saw me. Between Andreas and I, ako ang mas strikto. It's because I don't want my children to grow up spoiled brat. I want them to learn that they have to work really hard to get whatever it is they want.
"Early this morning nag aaway na kayo? Quit bickering or else I won't let you go with Daddylo sa Palawan. I heard Mommyla took care of everything already. I will cancel it all if you two don't stop arguing!" They both look down. I can hear Andreas coming.
"Babe, give them a break. They're just kids. Loosen up!" What the heck! How dare he lecture me in front of the kids. I gave them three the look.
"Yes, they're just kids. So when do you want them to learn respecting each other? After they get married????! Or when they end up physically hurting each other?!" Damn. Early this morning tumataas ang highblood pressure ko.
"Hey!" He yelled. "That's not what I meant!" Now he's become serious.
"Whatever. I'm leaving. Enjoy your day." I left without giving them kisses goodbye. I felt guilty but my anger towards them are burning me inside out!
On my way to the office tinawagan ko si Sebastian. Lately he's been avoiding me. I don't know what happened to Ate Rosa Mae. No one's telling me anything. But I can tell whatever happened is tearing Sebastian apart.
"Catalina? Are you okay?" Sagot nito.
"Hey Bash, I was wondering if I can meet you somewhere?" Nervous kong tanong.
"Is everything okay? Come to my Condo. I'm just finishing paper works!" Dang it. Naka disturbo pa ako.
"Okay. See you!" Before I went to his Condo Bumili muna ako nang cake. Chocolate cake is both our favorite.
I rang his doorbell and the door flew open. There he was in a sweat pants looking drop dead gorgeous.
"Hi." I shyly said.
"Are you okay? Ano yang dala mo?" He pointed at the chocolate cake.
"Cake, for me!" He giggled.
"Ikaw talaga. What's wrong Catalina?" He finally asked after I settled in.
"Why are you avoiding me. Is it because I kissed you?" tiningnan ko lang siya.
"Catalina, let's forget about what happened okay. It's nothing. Really!" He's avoiding my eyes.
"Sebastian!" Now he's looking through me. "You look sick. Are you okay?!" Ang lalim nang mga mata niya. "What's wrong, Bash?" Hindi ko maitago ang pag alala sa kanya. He's always the strong one amongst us. But seeing him like this breaks my heart.
"It's nothing serious." Nilapitan ko siya but he stepped back.
"Nothing serious? Really?! It's me your talking to. Why are you acting weird all of the sudden!" Now I'm angry.
"I just came home from the state. Maybe I'm just tired. You know. I just need to rest or something." Nilapitan ko siya and this time I check his forehead kung mainit ba.
"OH MY GOD SEBASTIAN! YOU'RE BURNING HOT!!!!!! Lay down I'll go get a towel and medicine." Now I'm worried. I couldn't think straight. Heck, I don't even know what medicine to give him. I dialed Andreas number without thinking. He doesn't know I'm here. Too late he already answered the phone.
"Hello?" Galit nitong sagot.
"Babe, ummm.." Shit paano ko ba siya tatanungin. "I... Ummm.." Oh dear Lord. I couldn't make myself ask him. Of all people why did I dial his number.
"Catalina, what is it? I'm in the middle of a meeting." Oh shit! He's gonna get mad. "Where are you?? You didn't take your securities with you again!!" He snapped.
"I'm at Sebastian!" I finally manages to say.
"What the hell are you doing there? All alone! Seriously CATALINA!" Now he's yelling at me.
"Damn, stop acting like I'm cheating on you or something. I just came here to check on him!" I snapped back.
"Last time you two were together you locked lips. How the hell would I know kung ano ang mga pinag gagagawa niyo jan!" Galit nitong sambit. "I want you to go home now! I mean it Catalina." I love it when he gets jealous. He gets so bossy.
"Babe, calm down. I called you kasi I don't know what medicine to give him. Ang taas nang lagnat niya eh. Last time I got sick he took care of me. I just want to return the favor. Please don't be mad!" I finally explained. He seemed to calmed down.
"Give him some ibuprofen and make him soup. I will come pick you up after my meeting!" He sounded cold. Oh well. I'll deal with him later. First I have to make Sebastian feel better.
I googled how to make rice soup. It was easy enough.
"You're cooking? I'm surprise you didn't burn down the place!" I heard Sebastian teasing me.
"I'm a mother now. I should've learned how to cook before I got married." I smiles. "Wait lang ha. I don't know if this taste good eh!" He smirks at me.
"Here let me taste it!" He grabbed the wooden spoon and taste the soup. He made this face na hindi ko maintindihan.
"That bad huh?!" I frowned. Disappointed at myself. I jumped when he started laughing.
"Hey I'm just kidding. Masarap siya. Wow! I'm very proud of you!!" Sinapak ko nga. I grabbed the wooden spoon and taste it myself. Masarap nga.
"Sit. Ako na mag handa." Umupo siya sa dining table watching me. I glance at him and it seems like he's crying. "Hey, are you okay?" I wiped his tears away.
"I did something bad. Something you're not going to forgive me forever." I looked at him surprised.
"Huh?" I'm confused. What is he talking about.
"You know how much you mean to me right? I'd do everything for you Catalina. I mean EVERYTHING!" He's scaring me.
"What is this all about Sebastian? What's wrong?" I hug him. "Whatever it is you did, I don't care. You're special to me. I will never trade whatever it is we have now to anything. Kahit ano pa yan I don't care. Please stop acting weird. You're supposed the be the sane one here!" I joke. He smiled and hugged me tight. "May bisita ka ba? May tumawag kasi kanina on her way na daw siya." He let go and started eating the soup.
"Yeah. It's my house keeper. She's coming to clean today!" Oh make sense. I'm so hungry kaya sinabayan ko siya ng kain. "Akala ko ba ako lang may sakit. Bakit pati ikaw kumakain ng soup!" Biro nito.
"Excuse me lang naman ha, ako ang nag luto diba so I deserve to eat my master piece. Nagugutom ako eh!" He started laughing.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to worry you!" I can tell his hiding something.
"It's okay. You wash the dishes ha!" Turo ko sa mga dirty dishes.
"Yes, Ma'am!" He added. Pag katapos namin kumain niligpit niya na ang mga plato. He wash the dishes and I wipe them dry. "Remember when I asked you to clean last time and you got pissed off?" Ha! Oh my god so embarrassing.
"Hmmm.." Sagot ko.
"Did you mean what you said then?" Oh my god!!!
"No. I mean yeah! But I was young then!" We started laughing.
"I was scared to death. You're scary when you're angry." Shit! I can't believe he still remember it.
Flashback
"Oh my god babe, your room is so messy!" I whined.
"Then clean it!" He snapped at me.
"excuse me? Why the hell would I do that? I'm not your maid. Seriously, itatapon ko lahat ng gamit mo sa trash if you don't clean your room!" I'm acting like his wife. What angers me is that he's just watching me go ballistic. I started throwing all the dirty clothes in the trash can. Sebastian started laughing. "What's so funny?" Irita kong tanong. I saw a used condom! Oh my god. Is he cheating on me? "What the hell is this????! SEBASTIAN!!!!!!!!!!" Galit kong sigaw sa kanya.
"Bash, why do I hear a loud woman whining inside my room?" I heard someone complaining. I saw Sebastian pointing at me.
"What the hell! Hey that's my stuff!! What are you doing there???!" He yelled at me. Sebastian couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Dude, I told you. You're living in a pig sty. Clean after yourself. Even my girlfriend who doesn't like to clean started cleaning your room!" He teases.
End of Flashback
I started laughing hysterically. "I couldn't believe it. I was so mad when I found that nasty used condom." He couldn't stop laughing either.
"When you started cleaning I saw that you will become a good wife someday. Mabunganga nga lang." Hinampas ko siya ng towel.
"Kapal mo! Bat kasi hindi mo sinabi na it wasn't your condo!" I hit him again.
"But did you seriously thought it was my used condom?" Now he's serious. "You know, I never thought of cheating on you not even once!"
"Aysus! Trip mo nga yung babaeng malaki ang boobs sa Mall." Sambit ko sa kanya.
"anong malaking boobs. Eh ikaw lang naman pumipilit sa idea na yun!" Depensa niya.
"Anong ako!! Hoy SEBASTIAN MONTESALGADO, ikaw PO ang tingin nang tingin sa dibdib niya. Hindi ako! Sus, ako pa pag bintangan mo!" I started laughing. He flashes me with water. "HOY!!!!! GANYAN PALA GUSTO KO AH!" Binasa ko rin ang mga kamay ko at winisik sa kanya. He tried to stop me but when I turned in the corner I saw Andreas standing watching us. Furious!
