That First Night With Mr. CEO Chapter 5: Safe Place 2
She gave him a gentle nod and went inside her car. Ilang sandali pa, umusad na ang sasakyan palayo. Gaya nang magpunta sila roon, wala silang imikan ni Gael habang ipinagda-drive siya nito pauwi. Na mabuti na rin dahil pagod siya--pagod na siyang mag-isip at magpanggap. She wanted to talk to Gael about what's bothering her like she used to but... she doesn't want another argument with him. Truth be told, she misses him. Before she allowed her stupidity to ruin everything between them, Gael has always been her go-to-person. She can rant, whine and cry till tomorrow and Gael would just patiently listen to her without judging her. She can just be the imperfect and vulnerable Charlie the world doesn't know of and Gael would be fine with it. Gael was her safe place. Was. She took a sharp breath and willed her tears not to fall. "Ayos ka lang?" ani Gael maya-maya, nakasilip ang mga mata nito sa kanya sa rearview mirror. Tumango siya at ibinaling ang tingin sa labas ng sasakyan.
That First Night With Mr. CEO Chapter 6: True Feelings
Marahang ibinaba ni Gael ang bottled water sa bedside table ng kanyang kama. It's 2 o'clock in the morning. He should be sleeping dahil maaga pa ang trabaho niya bukas. But sleep is elusive when his whole being is full of unrest. Bakit hindi? Nasa harapan niya mismo si Charlie, sleeping peacefully like a beautiful angel she is on his own bed. She drunked called him around 2 hours ago. Kung bakit, hindi niya alam. Basta ang alam lang niya nang sunduin niya ito, ayaw nitong umuwi sa ganoong ayos. Kaya naman sa apartment na lang niya ito dinala. He huffed and slowly shook his head. Matapos niyon, marahan siyang umupo sa gilid ng kama at pinagmasdan ang anghel na natutulog sa kanyang higaan. Was it when she gave him her cute heart-shaped pancakes? Or when she gave him her handmade birthday card for him when she was 6? Or was it every succeeding heartwarming gestures she did while they were growing up? Hindi na niya maalala. One thing is for sure, everything she did, big or small, ma
That First Night With Mr. CEO Chapter 7: Schemes
Napatigil si Charlie sa ginagawang proposal nang tumunog ang kanyang cellphone. She quickly picked it up and saw that Gael texted her. She suppressed a smile and opened the message. Can I invite my girlfriend to dinner tonight? Pasimple siyang ngumiti, sinilip si Gael na nakabantay sa labas ng opisina ng Daddy niya. He was busy chatting with his fellow bodyguards. Maya-maya pa, makahulugan itong sumulyap sa kanya, tipid na ngumiti bago mabilis din ibinalik ang atensyon sa mga kausap. She bit her lower lip when she felt a swoosh of excitement wash over her. Ganoon ang parati niyang nararamdaman whenever they'd have those secret moments of conversation during office hours. And she must admit, more than a month into their relationship, she's getting the hang of things. They are still cautious though. Gael makes sure of it. They cwuld video call for hours at night and just be themselves. Subalit kapag nasa trabaho siya at nakabantay ito sa kanya, madalas, hindi sila nag-uus
That First Night With Mr. CEO Chapter 8: Schemes 2
"My sister, Lady Catherine, was ecstatic when I told her about Theo getting married soon," masiglang umpisa ni Camilla Mondragon, ang nanay ni Theo.The old woman looked thinner now dahil na rin sa pinagdaanan nitong medical scare. Subalit gano'n pa rin ito, sopistikada, magaling magsalita at attention-getter. She used to like the woman because she was really kind and had not shown anything ill towards her. Subalit ngayon, hindi maintindihan ni Charlie kung bakit bigla siyang nainis sa nakatatandang babae.Inis siyang sumimsim ng alak mula sa wine glass at muling nagpigil ng emosyon.Today has been a total disaster! Matapos siyang mapilitan mag-lunch kasama si Theo, hindi siya agad nakabalik sa SSL dahil inaya siya ulit ni Theo sa bagong bukas na architecture firm ng pamilya nito. She wanted to protest but Theo annoyingly asked permission from her Dad again. At ang lalong nakakainis, pumayag ang Daddy niya sa gusto ni Theo. She argued about the proposal she's working that was due
That First Night With Mr. CEO Chapter 9: A Fight For Love
Charlie took in a sharp breath before she began to descend on the grandstaircase of their home. Masama ang kanyang pakiramdam dahil wala siyang tulog. Sa ibang pagkakataon, baka nagmukmok na siya sa kanyang kuwarto at nagkulong na lang doon maghapon.Subalit may mga kailangan siyang gawin sa SSL na hindi niya maaring ipagpaliban. She sighed. She's exhausted from all the crying and thinking. But she just realized today, that rest would really be a luxury once her real work at SSL begins. Agad siyang napahinto nang marating niya ang dining. Her Mom and Dad are already there silently having breakfast with her younger brother, Caleb. Nakabalik na pala ito mula sa bakasyon nito sa San Gabriel. Kung sabagay, halos isang linggo na lang, magbubukas na ulit ang klase. Her brother will enter the university this year. "Ate!" nakangiting pukaw ni Caleb sa kanya nang mag-angat ito ng tingin. Agad din na lumipad ang tingin ng mga magulang niya sa kanya. Her mother gave her familiar knowing s

Ang malakas na pagtawag ng kanyang pangalan na nagmumula sa kung saan ang tuluyang nagpagising kay Gael. “Gael!” muling tawag sa kanya ng pamilyar na tinig. Boses iyon ng T’yo Berting niya. Unti-unti siyang nagmulat. Noon niya nagpagtanto na umaga na. Hindi naglipat sandali, the memory of yesterday filled his mind. Theo talking Charlie to somewhere and his boss putting him in a forced furlough without any clear reasons—relieving him from all his duties as an elite bodyguard of SSA. Not that he didn’t ask his boss Eric Samaniego. He did, dozens of times until he got all fed up and almost shot him in annoyance. Subalit iisa lang ang sinabi nito, kailangan daw nitong gawin iyon for smooth transition of things. He groaned and sat up on the cold floor he was in. His damn back was aching and his head was pounding. Napasulyap siya sa ilang bote ng beer malapit sa pwesto niya. That explains his headache. Smooth transition of things, paguulit niya sa isip. He scoffed. He knew his boss
That First Night With Mr. CEO Chapter 11: Decision
Hindi mapakali si Charlie habang sakay siya ng sasakyan niya patungo sa St. Gabriel University. Today is the start of classes. She's now an official part of the graduating class -- a thing she had always looked forward to in the past. She initially dreamed of going to Oxford for her masters after she graduates from college. And after that, she will take the helm of SSL and lead it. It was a perfect plan. Well that was before. Before her life got all messed up when her future was decided for her by people other than herself! Mahigit isang linggo na mula nang makasagutan niya ang Daddy niya. Isang linggo na rin mula nang pumutok ang balita tungkol sa engagement nila ni Theo. Isang linggo na rin siyang grounded. Her father took her phone away. Pinagbawalan na rin siya nitong pumasok sa SSL. She's basically a prisoner in her own home Home. Mapait na ngumiti ang dalaga. Kung papipilii siya, gusto mina niyang umalis sa kanilang bahay. She felt suffocated there, voiceless. Gusto muna ni
That First Night With Mr. CEO Chapter 12: Decision 2
"I heard my princess was crying so I came," ani Gael, masuyong pinunasan ang luha ni Charlie. Hindi na siya nag-aksaya pa ng oras at niyakap si Gael. His warmth and presence enveloped her in an instant. His arms felt like home. Her home. "I-I thought... I won't see you again. I-I thought you already l-left me." "I'm sorry, love. I had no way of contacting you. So I just took my chance to come here and see you. Sinabi sa akin ng janitress na dito ka madalas nagagawi kapag nasa campus ka dahil hindi madalas nagagamit ang CR na 'to." He explained in a hushed voice. He then told her about the talk he and her Dad had after she and Theo left that day. Ikinuwento rin nito kung ano ang nangyari sa trabaho nito. And her heart felt heavier with everything she had learned. "Sinubukan kitang puntahan sa mansiyon. But the guards won't allow me to go in," paliwanag nito sa naghihinanakit na tinig. She knew it. Gael just won't leave her like that. Not unless someone pushed him away.
