Nakabalik s’ya sa workshop, pero wala na roon ang isip niya. Ale occupied her whole mind and she can’t stop thinking about the damn kiss. She kept looking at the time. Gusto na niyang matapos ang workshop ngayon para makapagbabad s’ya sa tub. She definitely needs a drink after this. She was sitting near the back at maraming bakanteng silya. Since she does not know anyone, wala s’yang katabi. Hindi niya alam kung nagdedeliryo ba s’ya o hindi, o baka naman kumapit na sa damit niya ang amoy ng lalaking 'yon, dahil ngayon ay naaamoy niya pa rin si Ale. Her back felt hot. Kanina nang umupo siya ay siguradong walang nasa likod. But now, she's not so sure anymore. Unti-unti s’yang lumingon at namilog ang mga mata niya. There he was. Again. Hindi niya alam kung paano ito nakapasok sa workshop nila. Wala naman ito sa listahan. “What are you doing here?!” asik niya sa lalaki. Mahina ang kaniyang boses dahil ayaw niyang maka-attract ng atens’yon.“Just listening. Mancini’s a friend." She kn

He's okay with pursuing her. But not kissing her?? She can't be serious."You do realize you're half naked right now. And if I didn't stop, something would have happened between us.""And your point?" tanong nito sa kaniya. Hindi pa rin umaalis mula sa kandungan niya. "Don't like as if this is the first time you've seen tits—""Pietra!" Pero rumolyo lang ang mga mata nito. "What?" Natatawa itong tumayo at dinampot ang bra pati na ang bestida na tinanggal niya kanina. "Just because you got to third base does not mean that I will automatically become yours. Besides, I want to see how you're going to pursue me. Gusto mo, bigyan pa kita ng kompetisyon para ganahan ka?""Don't you dare." "Then galingan mo." Pietra went to the bathroom and turned on the shower. Nakita na lang niya na isinara na nito ang pinto. Iniwan lang s'ya ng basta-basta. He wrote her a quick note before leaving her room. Nang makapasok s'ya sa sariling suite ay hindi niya alam kung maliligo na ba s'ya o tatawagan si

Like a real gentleman, he walked Pietra back to her hotel room. No kiss just as she wanted. The last thing he wants to ruin what he started. At kung ito ang paraan para maging sa kaniya ang dalaga ay gagawin niya. Lahat naman halos ng babae ay gusto ang sinusuyo. Pietra is no different in that matter. “I had a great time and the food’s great.”Tumigil sila sa harap ng pintuan nito. It's funny how his room is beside his. Sinadya niya talaga 'yon nang mag-check in s'ya. All he had to do was charm the receptionist. Ganoon pa man ay ayaw nitong sabihin sa kaniya kung ano ang room number ni Pietra. All he was told is that the room will be close to the person he's asking for.“I’m glad you enjoyed tonight. I will see you tomorrow.”Hinintay niyang makapasok ito sa loob ng silid saka nagtungo sa sariling suite. He felt tired and happy at the same time. Ngayon lang niya naisip na mahirap palang manligaw lalo na at hindi basta-basta ang babae. P is playful and funny. But behind that, he also

“Are they joining us?” tanong niya kay P habang naghahain.“Yes. You don’t mind, do you?” Pietra was back in no time. Nalaman niya na sa kabilang unit lang tumitigil ang dalawang matanda. Umiling s’ya. “It’s fine. Do they have allergies?”“Wala naman. Magnus loves lemons so you can add a few more slices on his plate. Rob is easy. He likes anything. Are we eating in five minutes?”“Yes. These are done.” Inilapag niya ang dalawang plato sa mesa. The table is good for four people and although the unit is modest, para sa isang kapatid ng Mafia Don, she could have a bigger suite— maybe a penthouse even. It showed me how simple P can be. Hindi s’ya maluho. And although there is nothing cheap in her things, kumpara sa iba ay mas mura pa rin ang mga ito. “Plating and all, look at you. Are you sure you’re on the right profession? Parang hindi ka naman bagay maging Chemical Engineer.”“Mas bagay akong asawa mo,” wala sa loob na sagot niya kay P.P laughed and waved her hand. “Masyado kang a

And he forgot that he's not supposed to kiss her. Kanina pa s'ya nakahiga mag-isa sa couch pero umaalingawngaw pa rin sa tainga niya ang sinabi ni P. You're not supposed to kiss me yet, but I will let this one go since you've opened up to me a bit. Pietra even stole another quick kiss from him before she got up. Ni hindi s'ya nito nilingon at nagdiretso sa sariling silid. Akala niya talaga ay mababasted na s'ya. The thing with Pietra is you never know what you're going to get. She could be charming then savage the next. He closed his eyes and tried to get some sleep. Hindi niya namalayan na nakatulog pala s'ya na may ngiti sa labi. He forgot to ask P what time she gets up in the morning so he figured he'd get up at six to make breafast. It's the most important meal of the day and she should eat before heading to work. Her bedroom door is still closed pero naririnig niya ang lagaslas ng tubig. It was safe to say she's having a shower. He started brewing coffee and while cooking brea
