CHAPTER SEVEN
I walk faster to Jace’s office to know why Yara is doing there before she leaves. I find Jace facing the monitor of CCTV to all areas.
“Jace, Yara came here before she left, did she say something to you?”
“Huh? Nothing at all aside from that I’m handsome.”
“Damn you! Be serious!”
“Ah, she said, she had a headache and she wants to go home.”
“That’s it?”
“Yes, why? Is there’s something else?”
“Tss!” I pinch the bridge of my nose of annoyance.
“Are you guys having an LQ?” He said smirking.
“What?”
“Do I need to repeat myself? As far as I remember I was the one who slows here, did it transfer it to you?”
“One more time, Jace, I’ll kick your ass.” He always speaks nonsense.
“It’s clear of what I ask; I said if you guys are LQ?” I frown at what he keeps saying.
“What are you talking about? I just see her leave that’s why I ask.”
“Ah, I thought you’re having an LQ, It’s for the lovers only, you know, that’s why it’s LQ, Lover’s quarrel, and she’s your EX, so it’s Ex love quarrel.” And he laughs hard. “Cliché,” he said and stands up
“Where are you going?”
“I’m going home. Margot said her stomach is aching, and she may give birth if it’s not now maybe tomorrow or the other day. That’s why I will not go to work not until Juicy comes out. Do you get it? if not, go to hell.”
“Get out, you’re noisy.”
“Thanks, anyway—” he stopped mid-air.
“What?” He just smile and leave. “Hey!”
“Yara said, she’s not going to work on Wednesday and Friday.”
“What, why?” I ask wondering.
“Don’t know, I didn’t ask, you know me I’m easy to talk to, and just said yes”
“You’re always talking nonsense,” I said annoyed at him. “Get out!”
“K bye.” When Jace left, I grab my phone and call her but she declined it. I sent her a message ‘what’s wrong?’ but she’s not replying. What’s wrong with her?
I’ve been pacing around my office. The bands are long gone and the bar is already closed, but I’m still here, what is her problem and why did she leave? If she fled a while ago and she doesn’t answer my calls, then it means she’s avoiding me? For sure she’s not in her unit because she knows I will come over there, then where should I find her?
I looked up at the employer’s files and took it, I check Yara’s resume and took a picture of her address and I come out in the bar. I put her address on my phone map and I followed the direction. When I pull over to the place, it’s quiet, it’s past 3 am that’s why there’s no one I could see.
I check the area and check the house’s number, when suddenly there’s a group of men pass by, I waited them to pass in front and me, and they’re all the same shirt.
“Good evening sir, are you lost?” one of the men asks me. “We’re barangay officer here, and seem you’re new to our place.” Added the man.
“Oh yes, I’m looking for a woman.” I pick up my phone and I showed them Yara’s face. I have an ID picture of the employee just in case something happens.
“Ah, yes. This is her place, but I didn’t notice she came home, that’s her house” He point to one of the houses when a woman suddenly come out. “That’s her roommate, you should ask her.”
“Thank you,” I said and come to the woman holding a bucket. “Good Evening”
“Hi” I saw her scanning me. “What can I help you?” What the heck-is she trying to seduce me? Well, she’s sexy but Nah; not my type, she looks like a low-class bitch. Short of a prostitute.
“I just want to ask if this woman came home last night,” I ask. “The barangay officer told me you’re her roommate?”
“Ah! That amazon woman? She’s not home and it’s been days, and I hope she’s not coming home like ever! Why? Is she your customer?”
“Customer?”
“Yes, as far as I know, she’s working in the bar every night.”
“I’m the owner of the bar.”
“Ohh, she’s a lucky bitch, but no, as I was saying she’s not home and just what I said, I hope she’s not coming home, I don’t want her as a roommate.” She gets her bucket and enters the house. Damn, where is she? Where the hell is she? Where did she go?
I don’t know how many minutes I stay here while looking at the places. She lives here? A former queen bee and a brat live in this kind of place? It’s not that I underestimate the squatter area; it’s just that I can’t believe that, Yara will live in this kind of place.
I was going to my car when I see Yara, she was coming out of the taxi. That’s not the taxi she rode a while ago. The color of the taxi she rode is white, while this taxi is black.
“Yara,” I call her. She frowns when she sees me and shook her head.
“What are doing here?”
“I’m looking for you. What’s wrong? Why did you suddenly leave?” She heaved a sigh
“Zeus, do you remember what we talked about when you set the agreement about us?” I feel uncomfortable, her face is serious.
“What talk?”
“The one that you can’t near nor look to the other woman other than me?” Oh fudge, I remember that. Is that the reason why she leaves? Is she jealous?
“Lyka is a friend, she’s married and she’s just having a proposal to the bar.”
“But you fucked her before? And I am sure, not once, not twice but many times, right?”
“Are you jealous, baby?” I ask while smirking at her.
“No.” my smile fade away “I’m not jealous, Zeus. What is running to your mind is not what it is. It’s clear to me that we’re having sex, and I don’t like it when the one I’m having sex with, is having sex in another woman, you might get the virus and I will be contagious.”
“I don’t have plans to fuck anyone while I am still on our agreement.”
“Good, and remember—-” she walks closer to me and holds my face. “When I see you looking in another woman again, our agreement will be done” I gulped seeing how serious she is.
“It’s not going to happen again.”
“Good.” She said and smile at me. She became tame. “You should go home, I’m sleepy.”
“You will come with me.” I hold her hand but she pulls it away.
“Nope, we talked that I’m going home today, so let’s meet when we can have sex” She touched my chest and caress it. “So it thrilling.”
“Every day is exciting, baby, especially when you’re on my mind and it’s very exciting when you’re next to me, I want to eat you now.”
“Stop it.” She said trying not to annoy. “God.” She closed her eyes and that made me smile.
“Let me guess, kitty’s wet.”
“Let me guess too, cocky’s awake.”
“Fuck!” I hissed.
“See, we’re even. But no, no hand job, go home.”
“But baby,”
“No buts, you should go home and rest, you have worked later.” I don’t have a choice and follow her command. Because she enters her home I go to my car as well. When I enter my car I received a message from her.
‘Tell cocky to exercise well. I’ll let kitty prepare also.’
Fuck! And now I’m hard. What If I get out of my car and take her with me. But no, she will really get mad and I’ll never see her again. I leave the place disappointed so was my groin.
I SMILED when Yara send me some pictures. She said she was in the mall to buy some nightwear and took a picture of it so I can see it. I teased her to wear it and send it to me, but she refused. She wants me to see it when we’re just the two of us. And Fuck! I am hard thinking about the nightwear she will be wearing. And it’s fucking sexy.
“He’s weird, man”
“I noticed too, dumbass”
“True, he’s smiling wildly like a stupid fucker.”
“Hey, Zeus!” called, Dane. So I put my phone in my pocket and I face them. They’re all smirking at me.
“Yes, Dane?” the four of them are looking at me. “What’s the wrong, suckers?”
“Who are you chatting at?” asked Dane, I furrow my brow.
“A client, something wrong?”
“I’ll pretend that I am the same age as my triplets and I will believe you.”
“Me too, I’ll pretend that I am the same age as my Joker, and yes, I believe you.”
“Mine is I’ll pretend that I am Umami that always smiling.”
“What about you, Dane?” ask, Phoenix
“Hmm. Let’s say, I’m stupid enough to easy to fool.”
“Is there something wrong? Tell me directly!”
“Answer us directly first, who are you chatting with?” Jace ask.
“O comes on, suckers! It’s just a client. Ok?” They’re not satisfied with my answer. “What the fuck? You guys don’t believe me?” They all nodded one after another at the same time they were shaking their head. They like the toys in the car that have spring in the head that shaking when the car is moving. Their heads are on point.
“I don’t want to fall in love anymore,” Dane said and lean in her chair.
“You really don’t huh,” Jace whisper sarcastically
“It’s not counted, fuck you!”Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
“I know the answer why, Dane.” Blaze interrupts “Because when you fall in love, you’ll be–” Blaze raises his hand while looking at the two.
“In denial!” they all said.
“See, I don’t know where did you get that idea but nope, all of you is wrong.”
“Just believe him guys before he sobs,” Jace said.
“Yeah, we’re all like that before” answer Phoenix.
“Been there, done that.” It’s Blaze. I just shake my head and stand up.
“I won’t force you all to believe me. Anyway, got to go and I have a meeting. And Oh, Blaze. I want you to have a meeting with Mrs. Sandoval, Jace, you’re with Ms. Salazar, and Phoenix takes Ms. Punzalan.”
“Wait a minute, why do you give them our women clients?”
“I don’t want to talk to any other women, for now, Dane. And Oh I move Sandra in accounting and Wilbert as my secretary. So please inform your secretaries to talk to Wilbert first when they needed something”
“Are you ok, Zeus?” Ask Dane.
“Yup.”
“What about Dane? You might don’t want to talk to her too.” I furrow my brows at what Phoenix said. “The love of your life is so possessive that she doesn’t want you to stick to whoever you with”
“Stop saying nonsense, Phoenix.” I was walking away outside when Jace suddenly talk.
“I guess I know who it is.” I stopped and I look at him.
“What?”
“Ah, is she the one you’re talking to us with Blaze, Jace?
“I guess so; it might be her, Phoenix”
“They have chemistry, so it’s ok.” Blaze said that made me furrow my brow
“What are you guys talking about? What are you telling to them, Jace?”
“Nothing at all, I just told them what I noticed.” Fuck! What is he noticing? Yara and I are careful of what we’re doing in the bar. “I observed of you and-”
“We don’t have a relationship, ok!” I cut him off. “Yara and I are friends that’s all. We’re just having fun!” But they all laugh at me.
“Now tell us that, you’re having a chat with a client and you don’t have a woman, Zeus,” Dane said while laughing.
“The fish caught in its own mouth. Dumbass.”
“I’m not the only one who is slow here. We didn’t say a name here and he confessed.” And they all laugh more.
“Tss,” my only answer and leave the place.
