Chapter 6— Second meet up

8:50 pm. At my condo.

— X. C

Pagkabasa ko pa lang sa message na 'yon ay gets ko na agad kong sino, initial pa lang.

Pagkatingin ko sa relo ay malapit ng mag 8 kaya pinadali ko na si manong makaabot ako.

Ang tanong... saan ba ang condo niya? Napataas ang kilay ko dahil sa sariling tanong.

Tinext ko sya at hiningi ang address ng condo nya. Nong una, nag aalangan pa siya sa pagbigay pero kalauna'y binigay din naman.

Pagkarating ko sa condo ko. Naligo na agad ako. Nahirapan panga ako sa pagpili ng damit pero naalala kong ako si Kyle Elijah Haisquin kaya walang pag-aalinlangan akong kumuha ng isang red fitted bodycon dress partner by red stilleto too. I survey my aura for tonight and I can say that I'm so gorgeous in this dress. It suit me well.

Dahil pinauwi kona si manong sa bahay nina mamá ay nag-taxi nalang ako. Sinabi ko sa driver ang address ng lalaking 'yon kaya dire-diretso na ang byahe. I arrived their safe and sound. I looked up at the condominium then my brows expertly turned up when I find it familiar. Ows! He just live in an exclusive condominium owned by the couple Mr. and Ms. Faliary, one of the most successful businessman.

As I had enter the building, I'm glad that everyone's busy, they'll not recognize me. I'm sure this will the headline if one of them see me. I'm on my disguise, after all.

I just talked to the lady then asked her the room number of Mr. Castromayor. 17th floor, room 10.

I'm sure we'll talked again about his car. That's all. Well, naudlot 'yong una dahil sa mga reporter.

Ting!

The elevator, simbolize that I'm here already. I walk toward his room, then press the bell so that he'll know that I'm here already. I was about to press it again when the door open.

"Good eve." I greeted him.

"Evening too, sleepyhead." he tease me. Smirking.

"Sige, ituloy mo 'yang pang-aasar mo. 'Di talaga kita babayaran!" I rant but he just smile.

He rolled his eyes, saying "Whatever sleepyhead. Get inside." After that, I get in and sat on the sofa, fell at home.

"Wala bang snack? Seriously? You're inviting me here tapos walang pagkain?" Seriously?!

I looked at him pero inungusan lang ako ng gago.

"Whatever, just straight to the point." I directly said.

"Pay me 50 thousands. I know you have that amount of money so pay me now. As in now! I need it."

Need it? Bakit nagigipit naba 'to?

"Nagigipit kana ba?"

"Hindi. Kailangan ko lang para... basta ibigay mo nalang." medyo naiirita na siya. Medyo lang naman.

"Bakit nga?" pangungulit ko pa.

"Basta. Ano, magbabayad ka o magbabayad ka?"

"Huy gago! Bakit pareho? Wala akong pagpipilian a?"

"Exactly. You have no choices so pay me now."

"Ay, mandurugas! Wala akong dalang kahit ano bukod sa sarili ko at cellphone ko, 'no!"

"Edi bukas."

"May Gcash ka?"

"Wala."

"Ano ba 'yan, ang poor mo naman. Bakit kasi agaran e!" Panghihimutok ko.

"Gusto mo talagang malaman, ha?" tila nanghahamon ang tono nito.

"Oo nga. Para naman maibigay ko kaagad."

"I'll donate it. Satisfied?"

"Donate saan?"

"Teka, bakit kaba tanong ng tanong e di naman tayo close? Tsaka isa pa, ikaw na nga may utang, ikaw pa magrereklamo. Pasalamat ka at 50k lang ang pinabayaran ko sa'yo. Tanginang 'to." Wow! 'Yon ata ang pinakamahabang nasabi niya.

"Oo na. Babayaran naman kita e. Bukas nalang sa Bright café. Umaga dapat dahil full sched ako bukas. Pasalamat ka at may time ako dyan. Maliit lang naman ang damage diba?"

"Oo. Kaya nga 50k lang e." sabi niya na parang ang liit-liit lang ng hiningi niya. "Okay. Tomorrow morning at Bright café." He said with nod.

"Pwede kanang umalis. Matutulog na ako." He said, pointing the door. I just rolled my eyes on him. Mocking his hand.

So I did. I stood up, walk towards the door, chin up. As I pass the door out, I turned into his front then said "Goodnight." Then walked towards the elevator. I didn't event wait for his response.

As I arrived at home, my condo. I immediately clean myself then dive on my bed then sleep.

The morning comes, and here I am still lying on the bed. Today, I had a photoshoot for beauty products. It's a well known products. Back then they got an award for being one of the most selling Cosmetics products in the country.

I get up from the bed even if I'm still sleepy. I took my towel then heading to the bathroom. In the middle of bathing I remembered what happened last night. And– ow shot!! I forgot that I am going to give him the payment. Kaya dali-dali akong naligo at nagbihis. I wore a black sheath dress partnered by a Block heel. Put a light make-up then labas na. Siyempre dala-dala ko ang payment. 'Yon ang sadya e.

As I enter the café, I roam my eyes around. Then my eyes landed on the table where Xander seated. I walk towards the table. He didn't look at me like he expected me already. Without hesitation, I sat on the chair.

"Good morning. You're earlier than I expected."

He just look at me and didn't greet me back. Well, what would I expect?

"Just pay me already." He said directly. I took the money from my bag, it was sealed.

"Here." I gave it to him.

"Complete?" he asked. Then I nodded. I notice that he didn't order anything. It looks like he notice my thoughts that's why he said "Didn't order anything because I don't know what you like." He blushed. His ears are red causing me to smile secretly.

"HAHA, you blushed! Dimo naman sinabi na hinintay mo 'ko! Oy, ikaw ha!" I tease him.

He glared at me, but I just laugh instead. I grinned on him.

"Stop that grinding, you're like an idiot."

"Ows, grabe ka ha! You cross the line already." I pouted.

"Anyways, let's order na, I'm hungry." I said as I caress my tummy. I saw him gesturing his hand, kaya may waitress na pumunta sa'min. Pero, the hell! Nagpapa cute ang gago kay Xander. Diko naman sya masisisi, gwapo e kahit diko aminin. Gwapo sya!

She handed us the menu. We just tell her our order. I ordered frappé and just a small slice of cake. While Xander ordered Cappuccino only.

Umaga pa naman kaya susulitin ko na 'to para kumain ng marami. Fuck that diet thing! I'll just go to the gym.

The breakfast went well. We talked often. I enjoyed his company. Even if he's not that talkative, he makes ways, just to talked to me.
