Crap. I shouldn’t have finished watching the last season of Lucifer. I watched the show a lot of times and I don’t feel tired repeating it all over again. Next weekend I'm gonna watch Friends again.

I’m almost late picking up Mr. Steel in the airport. Good thing it’s not the rush hour yet since it’s very early in the morning actually. I haven't even eaten anything yet. Maybe I can just invite Mr. Steel for a breakfast date. I mean breakfast but I need coffee.

When I saw a coffee shop while walking along the airport waiting area, I decided to buy it myself and to drink it fast while waiting. After I got my order, I was heading outside when suddenly a man accidentally hit my hand causing my coffee to spill, fortunately I had a good reflex and avoided the coffee on my clothes.

After he apologized, I looked up to see his face and he’s staring back at me too. He’s staring for too long actually.

What the hell is this man? He’s kinda creepy.

I can only see his eyes though since he’s wearing a mask but I can say that he’s a foreigner. He’s very tall and his hair color is somehow chestnut brown, I think. It was a little long and messy. His eyes color is light brown for sure and the sunlight makes it clear for me to see. I was a little bit mesmerized though but he still spilled my coffee.

I want him to apologize properly to me but I guess he didn’t get it well and instead he answered me back as if he’s trying to provoke me.

“You should be aware of your surroundings next time. You’re lucky you didn’t spill the coffee on my things.” I spoke.

“I might say as well to you.” He answered and I can feel he’s smirking behind that mask.

I was about to answer him again when I caught a glimpse of Mr. Steel walking out the hallway so I just decided to leave this creepy guy. I hope I won’t see him again. I don’t know but he smells trouble for me.

“Mr. Dave Steel!” I called his name to get his attention.

When he saw me he immediately smiled. I really hope he’s single.

“Ms. Penelope Reid, I assume?” He said and offered his hand. I accepted it while smiling charmingly.

Baka may epekto pag nag pacute ako ng kaunti.

“Yes, the one and only.” After we shook each other's hands, I invited him for breakfast before heading back to the office and he agreed.

Be good to me Monday, okay?

Sa tingin ko hindi masyado narinig ni Lord prayers ko o hindi niya lang talaga ako love minsan. Being with Dave Steel for a half day was heaven not until he showed me pictures of his pregnant wife. It turns out that his co-editor is actually his wife for 5 years. Feel na feel ko pa naman pagpa-pacute kay Dave a while ago not knowing na nagka-kasala na ako.

Moving on, after I endorsed him to my boss, I bid my goodbye and went back to my office.

“Betina, how was the file I asked?”

I called Betina when I passed by his desk.

“I’ll bring it to your office Ms. Reid.” Betina answered politely. There were other assistants outside that’s why we acted formal. Kapag kami lang ang tao then we act friends and drop off the professionalism.

He followed me in my office and closed the door behind him after he got inside.

“Ms. Peppa, sigurado ka ba sa plano mong ‘to? Dylan is a powerful businessman and so delikado to do something like this.” He warned me with a hint of worry in his voice.

“I can handle this, okay? Saka isa pa, we’re doing this for our friend.”

Yes, I asked Betina’s help for this mission.

“Bakla, hindi normal na tao babanggain natin dito. Kapag nalaman nila or nag ka hint sila na pina-iimbestigahan mo background ng youngest CEO ng Frey Industries; Feeling ko talaga nagdududa na yung mga tao na pinacontact mo sa akin to get these files.” Betina said while handling me the files I requested.

“Kumalma ka nga dyan. Wala naman tayong ipapapatay. And besides, may basbas tayo ng fiancée niya.” I assured him.

“Ikaw lang naman may basbas isinali mo lang ako.” He said while pouting.

“I’ll give you an extra bonus on our 6-month appraisal, okay?” I said bribing him.

His facial reaction changes so quickly from gloomy to blooming.

“So according sa mga files na iyan, Dylan always goes to America before, especially during special holidays.” He suddenly started discussing.

I just smirked at Betina's action.

“There’s a paparazzi that caught a picture of him riding a private car in the airport and seen entering an exclusive property.” He continued.

“hmm… He’s visiting during special holidays in an exclusive property. Is he hiding a family or someone special?” I concluded.

I checked the files. It also stated there that when their mother was still alive, they used to take vacation in America on the same property. His mother died a few years ago, so why is he still visiting there? Sa pagkakaalam ko den, sa Australia nakalibing ang mother niya.

“Anastacia told me that Dylan is planning to introduce her to someone important to him when he’s ready. Sino kaya yun?”

“Baka may anak si Papa Dylan?” Betina commented.

“That’s maybe true but also maybe not. Ang hirap kasi sa mga mayayaman they also tend to hide things that may destruct their reputation.”

“Oh! I remember!!!” Betina suddenly squealed.

“Hey! Tone it down.” Saway ko sa kanya.

“I’m sorry,” He giggled.

“Feeling ko detectives tayo dito. Like Lucy and Detective Chloe and I just think the biggest clue we have for this case.” Yeah. We’re both fans of Lucifer.

“Ako si Detective Chloe!” We both claimed.

“Ako si Chloe. Ikaw si Lucifer tutal yun ang tingin sayo ng mga employees dito.” Betina said and laughed out loud. I hit him with the files.

“Oo ako si Lucifer at ikaw ang unang isasama ko sa impyerno.” I snorted.

He just laughed at me again.

“Anyways, andiyan din sa report na yan. Dylan picked up someone in the airport today also! Fresh na fresh yan. Hindi mo ba siya nakita doon?” Betina stated.

He picked up someone in the airport too? Baka yun na yung sinasabi niya ipapakilala kay Anastacia?

“Betina, we’ll be in a mission tonight and for the following nights. We’ll gonna follow Dylan para malaman na natin once and for all, sino ba talaga tinatago niya kay Anastacia.”

“For extra bonus.” Betina said firmly and shaked both my hands.

Our mission started. First night. With the help of Anastacia, we can track Dylan’s location and observe him from afar.

Once he’s out of his company, we followed his car. He went to a restaurant and went inside a VIP room. So, Betina and I assumed he’s gonna have a meeting with some of his clients. True enough, a tall gentleman walked out the room and went inside the restroom.  Likod lang nakita namin ni Betina but he’s wearing a long sleeve so tingin namin he’s also a businessman, though his hair kinda looks similar to that creepy guy I met in the airport earlier today.

“Mukang yummy yun.” Betina said while still looking at the direction where the guy went.

“Lahat naman yummy sayo basta matangkad at fitted.” Side comment ko.

“May third sense ako.” Ani niya.

“Gaga sixth sense.” I laughed.

Second night. He went to our condo once he’s out of his company. Of course, Anastacia is in the house too.

“That’s for tonight. Umaga na yan lalabas sa condo niyo.” Betina said.

“Then let’s go somewhere else for a while. Ang awkward naman kung halos sabay kaming dumating ni Dylan diba.” I spoke.

“Mas awkward kung pag uwi mo mamaya, nag didiligan na sila.”

“Bakit naman?” I asked wondering.

“Wala ka kasing taga dilig so maiinggit ka lang.” He teased me and laughed so evil.

Third to fifth night. Almost all the same. It’s like we just witnessed Dylan’s boring lifestyle.

This is the sixth night and napag-desisyunan naming ni Betina na wag na lang sundan si Dylan since we know that he’ll be going to our house to visit Anastacia but to our surprise he drove in a different route. He went to a restaurant and picked up a woman outside of it. I asked Betina to take a video of what we saw a while ago. Hindi lumabas ng sasakyan si Dylan. He just stopped in front of the woman and then she went inside of his car.

Hindi kami makapaniwala ni Betina sa nakikita naming ngayon.

“Tawagan mo nga si Anastacia kung asan si Dylan, ano sinabi sa kanya.” Utos ko kay Betina.

Betina called Anastacia and without any surprise on our side but to make our guess right, Anastacia said that Dylan told her he's gonna be staying up late in the office to finish some things.

We followed Dylan’s car and they went to a hotel. Betina and I followed him and his mysterious girl in the parking area. We parked one car away behind his car and continued to take a video of him. Medyo madilim ang ilaw sa parking light so medyo hindi kita yung mukha ni Dylan at ng babae niya. When they went down to the car, pumunta yung babae sa side ni Dylan and she suddenly kissed him torridly then he grabbed her butt while massaging it sensually. Horrified of what we’re seeing right now, muntik ko ng masugod si Dylan ng wala sa oras but Betina stopped me. After they’re little scene they walked towards the elevator and disappeared on our sight.

“Ang hayop na yun. Akala ko pa naman he’s really serious about our friend. Fucking asshole. I'm gonna make him regret it.” I cursed.

“Ipag pray ko kay Saint Sanrio na sana may STD yung babae niya.” Betina commented too.

This was so sudden, to think that we’re already planning to stop investigating him tapos bigla ito nakita namin. Anastacia will surely break down when she hears about this.

“Let’s go Betina. I think we’ve seen enough.” I said while dialing Anastacia’s number.

“Sasabihin na natin kaya Anabelle ‘to?” Betina said worriedly.

“We don’t have a choice, saka I promise to her whatever I’ll discover about his fiancé she’ll be the first one to know…though I said only her…” I think this kind of act should be shown to the world to punish bullshit like Dylan.

“And the video?” Betina asked.

“Let’s ask Anastacia what she wants to do about it but I already have a suggestion for her.” I said and smiled menacingly.

Lucifer is that you?” Betina asked then, do a sign of the cross.

    Devastated we are, we don’t have a choice but to tell the truth to Anastacia. She cried her heart out. Betina also stayed in our condo for the night so we can comfort Anastacia. “I can’t believe ---I-I can’t believe this.” She said in between her sobbing. After she watched the video once, she fell on her knees and good thing Betina catched her halfway and guided her to sit on our sofa. Umupo kami ni Betina sa tabi ni Anastacia. She’s sitting between us. “I’m really sorry that you have to see this but, it’s for your own good too, diba? At least nalaman mo na may ginagawa pa lang kabalbalan yang fiancé mo at hindi pa kayo nakakasal.” Ani ko. “I thought…I thought he’s so loyal with me and besides he’s always so busy with his work at never pumasok sa isip ko na magagawa pa niyang mambabae. And he’s always here with me most of the time during the weekends or whenever he’s in the country.” Anastacia explained.

    So here we are inside our living room. Magkatabi kami ni Anastacia sa upuan while facing Dylan and his ‘twin’. Hindi pa rin kami makapaniwala sa nakikita namin ngayon. Hindi mo mapag kakaila na kakambal ni Dylan yung kasama niya dahil iisa sila ng mukha though they have different eye and hair color, parang naka-filter lang yung isa but there is something about his twin. I felt something towards him, I don’t know if Anastacia feels it too. He smells dangerous.“Anastacia, listen to me. I'm telling the truth. He’s my twin brother, He’s Syke. He’s the person I wanted to introduce to you but I didn’t expect that this issue would happen and the two of you met in this kind of situation.” Dylan said in a depressing voice.I feel sorry for him.

    They never stopped teasing me until we finished our lunch. I just chose to ignore them and focused on my new task instead. After eating our lunch, Betina went back to our company while Dylan and Anastacia went outside and decided to date after all the mess that happened leaving me with Syke. Dylan’s evil twin. He even asked me to look after him.Ginawa pa akong babysitter. So here we are standing in the front door since Dylan and Anastacia just went outside.“What do you want to do?” I asked him.“I—”“Seriously. Don’t dare to answer me with your pervy puns.” salita ko muli bago pa siya makasagot sa tanong ko.

    Chapter 19 After checking the place and getting the approval of Dylan and Anastacia, it’s decided; the wedding will be held in that beach. Actually, everything is already been settled by Syke and Lee so we’re all just waiting for the big day. Since busy pa masyado ang groom and bride sa mga careers nila, the wedding will be held after three months. So, Syke on the other hand will return in the states for a while and just be back here once the wedding is near. Our partnership has come to end. On second thought, not yet! The article that I have to write about him is not yet finished and we can work it out now before he leaves the country. He’s planning to leave by the end of the month. And maybe I could also use this time to help him find his leading lady for his own happy ending just like what he did for me. I smiled with that thought. “What are you smiling for?” Casey asked me. Oh yes. We’re back together once again. He just picked me up from the office. It’s

    The moment we leave the dining hall, Casey and I went outside and walk along the shore and watch the beautiful moon as it shines down the sea.“Ang ganda pa din ng lugar na’to ano?” wika ko habang nakatingin sa dagat.“Yes. Still beautiful just like before.” Pag sang-ayonsakin ni Casey.Habang naglalakad kaming dalawa sa tabing dagat, sadi inaasahang pagkakataon, napadaan kami sa lugarkung saan siya nagpropose sakin noon. Ang tinutukoy kong lugar ay ang daan na mukangputol na tulay patungo sa dagat. Gawa ito sa semento at di ganun kalakihan. Sa dulo ng putol na tulay ay parang nasa tapat mo ang napakagandang buwan lalona kapag bilog na bilog ito at sobrang liwanag.“Gusto mo pumunta doon?” yaya sakin ni Casey.Just like before. He said the same sentence before. After we went in that place and while watching the moon and beautiful sky above the sea, he suddenly kneels down in front of me and ask me to be his girlfriend while holding a necklace with a moon and star pendant.“Tara.” Mai

    “I was thinking that maybe we could go down together. By the way you look gorgeous.”I barely heard what Casey is saying but I still managed to smile. My attention was on the other room just across mine. Just few doors away.It was Syke’s room. May dalawang babae nakatayo sa front door niya while Syke was standing and leaning on the side of his suite’s door. The women are wearing sexy fitted dress and they’re tall. Safe to guess they’re models.Napansin ata ni Casey na nasa malayo ang atensyon kaya sinundan niya ng tingin ang tinitingnan ko.“Someone’s got lucky tonight.” He commented.“Yeah.” I agreed.I don’t know why but I felt bothered somehow.“Let’s go?” yaya sa akin ni Casey sabay lahad ng kanyang kamay.I smiled and accepted it. As we passed by Syke’s room he just gave us acknowledge smile and returned his attention to the women.After they passed by, I still pretended listening to these women who are models and happened to know me. I was about to go when these models approac

    Nakalipas na ang dalawang oras ay nasa biyahe pa din kami patungo sa Batangas. Napagdesisyunan kasi namin na mag tingin ng mga beaches sa Batangas dahil bukod malapit lang ito sa Manila ay maraming resorts ang mapagpipilian. Wala din akong ideya kung saanparte ng Batangas kami pupunta dahil si Syke ang nakipag usap sa driver kanina.During those hours, Casey and I watched movies on the other room while the three men stayed outside on the living room. They never really went to the room during our entire staying there at naisip kong plano talaga yun ni Syke. I don’t even know if Casey wanted to talk to me since he just stays quiet the whole time and just watching so I just did the same. Only the sound of the television is you can hear inside the room.In my peripheral vision, I saw Casey checked on his phone. Fuck. I am really boring him now?“It’s almost lunch, are you hungry?” He suddenly asked.It startled me since I thought he caught me wandering and not focusing on the movie.“Medy

    After I arrived at home, nagpunta ako sa may kitchen area namin to check the fridge if there’s any food to eat or cook. Napangiti ako ng makitang puno ng groceries ang fridge namin. Kahit na busy kami most of the time ni Anastacia, we always find a way to go grocery shopping and stock foods in our house. Suddenly, Syke came across my mind. I remember the time he told me that he used to eat alone most of the time and he really missed eating with a family.Once, I’m done cooking I set up my food in the kitchen counter and called Syke for a videocall. “What did you say?” I asked just to confirm if what I’ve heard is right.I heard him saying ‘I really like…’ and I’ve got this feeling or maybe just my imagination that he said he likes me. “What? I-I said I really like this pizza. It tastes good almost like an American pizza.” Pagdadahilan niya. Well, maybe I heard it wrong.“Well okay but seriously if that oven pizza tasted like American pizza, then that can be a disaster or you have a

    I spent my whole day with Penelope. Being with her feels comfortable, it’s like home. It’s been a long time since I felt something like this to a woman. We just talk about her past relationship because I insisted. I know I’m starting to develop something towards her but I don’t want to entertain this feeling. I’m here for my brother’s wedding and nothing else. I don’t know how long should I convince myself but this is for the better. Maybe I just feel something like this because she’s the first woman I felt connected with or maybe I just need to get laid. ASAP.
