The Notorious Playboy [East Saunders]

5 Fatigue

So Yes, I know when he laid eyes on someone he wouldn't stop. And I saw how he looked at that 

Phil

Tila may mga kabayong nagkakarera sa dibdib ni Phil habang naglalakad sya palayo kay Easton. Namumuo ang pawis nya sa noo at nanlalambot ang kanyang mga tuhod.

Tumikhim muna sya pag tapat sa pintuan ni Mr. Buenichi.

*tok.tok*

Ilang sandali pa ay bumukas ang pintuan at tumambad sakanya ang mala Dyos sa gandang lalaking si Mr. Buenichi. She thought he was an old man.

"I'm sorry Sir I'm late." Nahihiyang sambit nya dito habang inaabot ang tray ng alak sa lalaki. Kulay asul ang mga mata nito at mukhang italyano. Mayabang ang kanyang ilong at nakakadagdag appeal dito ang kanyang balbas. Wow. Parang si Aquaman. Nagulat si Phil ng bigla itong ngumiti.

"I'm Dylan." Kinuha nito ang hawak nyang tray at inilahad ang kanyang kamay kay Phil na parang nakikipagkilala. She know she blushed that time. Nakakahiya. Iaabot na sana nya ang kanyang kamay ng biglang may magsalita sa di kalayuan.

"She's on her shift Dylan. No flirting." Si East. Nasa likuran nya ito at iritang irita ang boses. Dylan might be her way out this mess she's involved with. Isang arrange marriage lang at tapos na lahat ng ito. Papano pa sya magkakaroon ng pagkakataon ngayong may epal na humaharang sakanya?

"I was just introducing myself East." Natatawang sambit nito sa huli. She heard him chuckle and even step forward to her. Iisang dipa nalang ang layo nya dito and she's not used to it so she stepped back. Wrong moved! Bumunggo ang likod nya sa matatag na dibdib ni East. Oh shirt. I'm doomed! Sa loob loob nya'y mamatay matay na sya sa hiya, takot at gutom.

Lalong nagulat si Phil ng maramdamang napahawak sa kanyang magkabilang braso ang kanyang Boss. What the fudge!

"You can't see her name plate Dyl?" Masungit na tanong ni East sa kaharap nila. Dylan just crossed his arms.

"I see she's Phil. But I want to shake hands with her. Can I?" Sabay abot ng kamay nito sa harapan ni Phil. She looked at the hand of that handsome owner at iniisip na nyang ibigay ang kamay nya para matapos na sana pero he felt Easton's strong hands na pumipisil sa kanyang mga braso. Aray. Maya maya ay inalis ni East ang isang kamay sa pagkakahawak sakanya at iniabot iyon kay Dylan.

She can't breathe when she realized his broad chest is touching her shoulder.

"Ayan. Shake hands with me. Don't disturb my employee." Masungit na angal ni Dylan.

Narinig lang nyang tumawa ng mahina si Dylan.

"I know, and you know me, East." Binitawan nito ang kamay ng huli. "Once I laid my eyes on someone, I just couldn't let go." Ngumiti ito. Naguguluhan si Phil sa narinig nya. Anong sinasabi ng abnormal na to?

Tumayo ng diretso si East at tumikhim.

"Not here in my kingdom, Dylan Buenichi. Not unless you want to lose your membership." She saw Dylan's jaw clenched.

"Bye, Miss Beautiful. I'll pick you up when you get off." Anito sakanya at saka sya kinindatan. Nagulat sya ng maalalang nakahawak pa pala sakanya ang tarantadong si Easton. Nawala na ang pigura ni Dylan ng isara nito ang pintuan. Nananakit na rin ang braso nya at palagay nya'y magpapasa ito sa higpit ng hawak ni East sakanya.

"Ouch Boss. It hurts." Sabi nya na nanlalambot. Tila nagulat si East at biglang tinanggal nito ang kanyang kamay sa braso ni Phil.

"In my office. Now." Walang emosyong sabi nito sakanya.

"Boss, it's my break." Tinapunan sya ni East ng masamang tingin. "Ok po. I'll be there." Nakita nya itong bumuntong hininga.

"30 minutes Ms. Mercado." Nabuhayan sya ng loob ng marinig iyon.

PHIL

Napaka intense ng mga kaganapan kanina sa VIP hallway. Sa totoo lang hindi ako makapaniwala kay Boss na ganoon sya. I mean alam kong notorious sya being a playboy, yung part na kinagulat ko ay masyado palang mag protekta sya sa mga empleyado nya.

Hindi ko alam kung matutulog ako o kakain dito sa crew room dahil sa totoo lang ay sobrang pagod ng pakiramdam ko. Naduduling ako sa sobrang sakit ng ulo ko.

"Hey, aren't you eating?" Sabi nitong katrabaho kong mukhang bakla. He's Tom. Nabasa ko lang sa nameplate nya.

"No. My head hearts like hell."  Sabi ko dito at saka ako umupo sa couch namin at sumandal para umidlip. Lumapit sakin si Tom at nagulat ako ng ilapat ang kanyang palad sa aking noo.

"Oh my Godd! Phil! You're head is burning!!" Nagpapanic sya ng makapa ang noo ko. Nagulat ako sakanya dahil baka marinig ng boss namin ang sobrang lakas ng boses nyang bakla sya.

"Hey I'm okay!" Pinilit kong sabi sakanya dahil nagpapanic talaga sya.

"No, stay there!" Sabi nito at nagmamadali ng umalis. Bahala na nga sya. Iidlip ko muna 'tong hayup na ulo ko. Baka mamatay nako sa sobrang.....

EASTON

Why does everything have to be complicated? I can't believe myself taking the side of an employee. I cant even believe myself talking to that creepy Dylan Buenichi who stole my first love in high school. That bastard. Yes we had a bet. Who ever wins Joelina's heart will have the loser's 3months allowance. At least 80%. So imagine how screwed up I was that time.

Even though I lose, I have to protect my pride. I have to show I wasn't hurt and I wasn't affected. We stayed friends not until we graduated college. I swear I wanted to crush all his bones and kill him slowly that moment.

So Yes, I know when he laid eyes on someone he wouldn't stop. And I saw how he looked at that Phil.

Wait.

I said 30 minutes. Where's that bratt??

I was about to go outside when I opened the door, Tom is rushing towards me. I curled my brow in confusion.

"East! East! Phil is in the crew room!" What the hell? I know that!

"And?" I said.

"She's sick! Her head is so hot it burnt my palm!" Tom is over reacting. I know. He's been here since I started the business. "East! This is emergency!!!" His voice is irritating the hell out of me, he's like a mermaid singing. I rushed to get away from him. I have to go look at the situation or else I'll be deaf tomorrow.

I looked at this girl and she's all pale, almost lying on the couch. She looked so hot that my man down there literally salute on her. Geezz. This unruly thing! I rushed walking to get to her and put my palm on her forehead.

What the fudge!

She is hell unconsious!

I didn't think twice and carried her to the bar's clinic.

As Moria examines her, I know something ain't going right with her.

"So, is this over s*x?" Moria asked without looking. She is in her mid forties but she is still gorgeous. MILF.

I didn't answer. I didn't even touched her.

"Silence means yes?" She asked again. I shook my head and tried to look composed. "I'm just kidding' boy. She's dehydrated and this is over fatigue." She calmly said. I just sighed.

Moria started putting on her dextrose.

"Let her sleep East. This girl is going through tough s**t. Don't be an ass to her. I think this girl hasn't been eating." She said then walked to me and crossed her arms. "Go. Bring her food. When she wakes up, feed her. Ill get going." then she got her back and walked away even before I started talking.
