"What the?" I said shocked. What is he doing here?.
"Im Grunt Zyzy Ashton , Legacy's fiancé" he introduced emphasizing the fiancé and sharply glared at Gavin while he glance at me softly.
"Yow bud" Gavin said to him. "See you Ms. Legacy" Gavin said and left.
"What's your problem?" I asked him.
"Come here" He pulled my hand and we went to the garden.
"Let go of me" ani ko at pilit na tinatanggal ang pagkakahawak nito saakin pero mas malakas parin ito.
"Ang ganda mo sana eh , maldita nga lang" he finally let go of me and he caressed my hair gently
"Ano bang gusto mo?" Naiinis na wika ko rito.
"Give me your hand" He tried to sound polite. "Akin na" he said and forcefully grabbed my hand.
"Mr. Ashton , masakit" I honestly said.
"If you could just have showed it nicely you would not experience pain" He said as a matter of fact and slid a ring at my finger .
"The hell?!" I said as I look at it.
"Wear it all times" He told me.
"What about yours?" I raised a brow.
"Here" He showed me his hand. "And because of this ring 3 days nakong tigang" He scoffed.
"Mr. Ashton I told you from the start that , I dont give a damn care about your life. Cheat on me or what I dont fucking care" I pointed his chest.
"Putangina ang hirap palang maging mabait no?" He patted my head while smiling. Damn those set of teeth are pearly white and those sexy dimples.
"Hindi mo kailangan magpaka plastic saakin Mr. Ashton" I clarified.
"Call me Grunt" He said coldly.
"No Mr. Ashton , everything here is fake and just pure business okay?." I said calmly.
"Fine , if this is how you like it Legacy." He said still coldly, and I walked away after that "You're not the only one who's forced here , ako rin Legacy. You're not the one who hates this set up." He added with no emotion.
"I know that Mr. Ashton , I just don't like it when people pretend in front of me. It's just plain irritating and bullshit." I said and left.
I went to the venue's terrace and admired the night sky.
It's clear and the moon is bright and you can see the stars clearly.
Spiritualists said that you can make your wishes come true in a full moon night , but instead of saying or writing I wish to be ... you should say or write Im gonna be... since you're gonna attract more energy by telling or writing your intentions directly.
I grabbed a piece of of paper and wrote...
Im gonna be loved
Im gonna be free
Im gonna be successful.
I placed it on top of the thick glass barrier and continued admiring the night sky.
If Im gonna continue to be like this , how can I make him love me?. I let out a heavy sigh.
"Parang ang lalim ng iniisip mo" Said by a familiar voice at the back.
"Hey Gavin" I greeted him.
"Hey Legacy , why aren't you inside" He asked.
"Im not good at socializing" I said honestly.
"You got into an argument with your fiancé?" He asked.
"We're forced" I clarified.
"Yep I know , I was supposed to be engaged with you but I said no" He said.
"Okay" I shrugged.
"You're not gonna ask why?" Nagtatakang tanong nito.
"What's the use?" Pagtataray ko rito.
"You're not curious or anything?"
"I knew why already" I answered.
"Really , Why then?" He asked again.
"Mahirap kasi akong mahalin" I said sure.
"Damn woman , it's not like that , I already have someone inside my heart that's why I said no" he clarified.
"How does it feel like?" I asked.
"Like what?"
"To love and to be loved?" I asked and faced him.
"It's one sided Legacy , I dont know how it feels to be loved but I knew how to love because of her" he sounded reminiscing. "For me it feels strange , It's like a surprise you're not be able to tell you're falling already , you will feel it when you already fell" he explained.
"Spritualists says that If you're in a one sided love you can make a wish to achieve it. Make a wish about five times before going to sleep and concentrate on the moon" I told him.
"I'll take note of that , wala namang mawawala kung hihiling ako" he said and lossen up his tie.
"I better get going it's midnight already" I told him.
"Who are you, Cinderella?" He joked.
"I just feel tired" I said honestly.
"Okay Legacy , take care." Gavin said and I walked away.
"Where are you going Legacy?" Sinalubong ako ni Grunt sa exit.
"Home" tipid na sagot ko rito.
"It's early" he said.
"Im tired" I walked away but he just continued following me.
"Im sad , lets go somewhere" pag aaya nito.
"Im going home" I said with finality in my voice.
"Please?" He asked.
"Wala akong oras para sayo" Pagtataray ko rito.
"Isusumbong kita kay tita" He threatened me.
"Edi isumbong mo" I rolled my eyes.
"Hello tita , this is Grunt" he said to the phone and turned on loudspeaker so I can hear it.
[Hijo what's the matter?] Mom asked politely.
"Im asking your daughter for a date and she keeps on saying no" he said to mom.
[May I talk to my daughter for a sec?] Mom told him.
"Si mama?" I asked bored.
[ Go with Grunt ] mom commanded.
"Sorry mama but Im tired" I lied.
[ Do as I say Legacy , make him fall inlove with you. It's easier for you know since he's the one already making the first move ] mom said as a matter of fact.
"What about my freedom mama?" I asked her.
[ You're in Italy at hindi ka nakakulong sa mansion.I'll call that freedom] mom explained.
"Mom ayoko nga" patatanggi ko.
[Legacy , uuwi ka rito pag hindi ka sumama kay Grunt]
"Fuck it" I hissed and gave the phone to Grunt.
"Si" , "okay tita" he said and ended the call.
"Bakit mo ba ginagawa to?" Tanong ko rito.
"Remember this?" He showed me the letter I wished to the moon.
"Fuck , that's supposed to attract the moon energy to make my wishes come true" I told him.
"You believe that?" He tsked.
"Walang mawawala saakin Mr. Ashton" I stated as a matter of a fact.
"Lets just say na ako yung pinadala ng buwan para sa mga hiling mo Legacy" he crossed his arms.
"How Mr. Ashton?" I raised a brow.
"Lets make this bad boy be our checklist" he said and got the paper.
"1st Im gonna make you feel loved , 2nd you'll be free with me , and 3rd your successful for having an Adonis personified husband" he enumerated.
"I wished to be a successful fashion designer dimwit and all I want is my fucking freedom" I clarified.
"How about make you feel loved?" Pahabol nito at napahinto ako.
"I have my friends for that Mr. Ashton" I answered him.
"Looks like you're looking for an intimate love Legacy" he said
"So what Mr. Ashton , Im gonna be trapped with you , my wish is gonna be impossible" I told him.
"Lets just give this a shot Legacy , I still have 2 months remaining here in Italy. Let's try to build fondness" He said to me.
"I'll consider it Mr. Ashton , wala namang mawawala." I told him.
"Let's go to my favorite place" He said and pulled my wrist and went to his car.
"Damn" I said when I saw his car its the $13M Rolls Royce - sweptail.
"I've never felt so broke in my life" I said as I admire his car.
"We have the same riches Ms. Stefano , you guys just keep a low profile" He said as a matter of fact.
"Ms. Stefano before we leave , change first you look too grand" He said and gave me an oversized yellow hoodie and leggings.
It's his hoodie again. I can tell by the smell and looked like he bought the leggings for me.
I went back to him wearing the clothes he gave me.
"Okay now?" I asked him.
"Fuck" he hissed and got my gown ang gently folded it and put it in a box.
"So fastidous" I rolled my eyes.
"I just want everything to be organized and clean" he said.
And here I am I can't pull my shit together.
"Where are we going?" I asked him.
"Let's go to your condo first" He said and drove to my condo. A silent trip since I chose to take a nap.
"Come in" pag aaya ko rito nang makarating kami sa unit.
"Now pack your things." He commanded me.
"Wait why?" I asked.
"We're going to Gargano" he said.
"What the hell?!"
"You said yes. I'll be here at the couch." He said and took a nap.
I packed some essentials and some swimming and hiking attires.
I grabbed my phone and drawing tablet and went to Ashdi's room.
"Ashdi?" I woke her up.
"Hmm?" She said sleepy.
"I'll be going to Gargano , I'll be gone for days." Paalam ko rito.
"Okay Legacy. Take care" she said and slept again.
I saw him napping on the couch I heard light snores coming from him.
He looks sweet while sleeping but manly at the same time.
He'll drive to Gargano and I don't want any accidents I let him sleep for a little longer and brewed him coffee.
He woke up minutes after.
"Apologies , medyo napahaba ang idlip ko" he said and opened three buttons of his dress shirt.
"Coffee" I gave him the coffee I brewed.
"Sugar and cream please" he requested nicely.
Based on his appearance he's not the type of person that would like sugar and cream in his coffee. It's just he looks masculine and rugged.
"Thanks Legacy" he said and took a sip of coffee.
"You make good coffee." He said and finished it.
"So um , You ready?" He asked.
"Im cool" I nodded my head.
"Let's go now" pag aaya nito at binuhat ang bag ko.
"Legacy?"
"Hmm?"
"Did you have past relationships?" He asked.
"Yep" I answered.
"What happened?"
"I am unable to give his needs , sexual needs to be exact" I answered honestly and he just looked at me.
"Im not pa virgin okay , it's just Im only 17 at the time and--- "
"You don't need to explain , I understand" putol nito saakin.
"Men only want s*x." I whispered.
"Hindi naman maiiwasan yun Legacy but it doesn't mean that's their full intentions" He explained.
" yeah right" I snorted.
"Legacy , It's a 3 hour drive from Rome to Gargano. Sleep for now." He commanded me and gave me a blankee.
I can feel his stares at me as he drive but I chose to ignore him and just enjoyed the view. I've been living in Italy my whole life and I appreciated its beauty at dawn.
"Let's go to a beach first before going to the hotel" I told him.
"Surely madam" he said sarcastically.
"May I ask you certain questions?" I asked him.
"Mkay" he shrugged.
"Ilan na naging girlfriend mo before?" I asked.
"I dont do relationships , only fubu and flings" pag aamin nito.
"Damn , kahit isa wala?" I asked him.
"Isa pero I dont consider that anymore" he answered with no hesitations.
"You must've enjoyed your life Mr. Ashton" I told him.
"Kinda , but sometimes I just wanna stop and settle to one woman" he looked at me.
"Why don't settle?" I asked him.
"Too many cons" he answered straight.
"Lack of freedom" I said sure.
"That one too , ikaw?" he said.
" Isa palang , but he exchanged me for someone who can give him handjobs and blowjobs" I chuckled.
"Damn woman , he's bullshit" he judged.
"Most of them finding a good man in this century is like finding a dinosaur" I joked.
"Not really woman , mostly it's just fate and luck" he said.
"You believe in that?" I asked him.
"Wala namang mawawala kung maniniwala ako diba?" He said.
"You're right Mr. Ashton" I told him.
"Ganon ba kahirap sabihin pangalan ko Gr-unt. Call me Grunt. G-R-U-N-T" ani nito na naiirita na palagaing Mr. Ashton ang tawag ko sa kaniya.
"Nah Im cool with Mr. Ashton"
"Fine Legacy , give me a 10 euros for everytime you call me Grunt." He tsked.
"Not gonna happen Mr. Ashton" I rolled my eyes.
"Grrrr , haa " he grunted and continued grunting.
"Stopp grunting" naiiritang ani ko.
"10 euros please" he lent his hand.
"Apir" I said and he held my hand.
"So soft" he said.
"What the fuck?!" I hissed.
"I know your task ms. Legacy , your task is to make me fall inlove with you , right?" He said.
"How did you know that?" I raised a brow.
"Simple , Im Grunt Zyzy Ashton that solves everything" he said sure.
"Okay , but it's just bullshit , Im not doing any efforts Mr. Ashton" I said straight.
"Just do what you are doing right now , maybe just maybe i'll like you" he said looked at me.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Just be yourself Love" he said.
"Wow Mr. Ashton" I rolled my eyes.
"I like real people Legacy , Im already helping you in your task , be thankful alright?" He scoffed.
"Well thank you then Mr. Ashton."
"Welcome Legacy"
"Mr. Ashton?"
"Hmmm?"
"Bakit parang ang bait mo saakin?" Nagtatakang tanong ko rito.
"I want to leave a nice first impression Ms. Legacy" he said.
"Well almost every ladies assumption of you is you're a philandering asshole" I told him.
"Well I did leave a long trail of broken hearts Legacy" pag aamin nito.
"Iba si kuya Grunt kung mag mahal , whether friends , family , or significant other. You'll feel special in his presence" Millicent said sure.
I chuckled remembering that.
"Anong nakakatawa?" He asked.
"I just remembered something Mr. Ashton"
"Sabihin mo yung pangalan ko bibigyan kita ng 1000 euros" he proposed.
"I hate you" I told him.
"You have no money in hand" he said.
"I have my card Mr. Ashton" I rolled my eyes.
"I can close all the banks here in Italy with just a snap of my finger Legacy" based on his tone and confidence he's telling the truth.
"No way Mr. Ashton"
"Yes way Legacy" he chuckled.
"Tangina mong gago ka isa kang malaking pakyu" minura ko ito ng sunod sunod.
"Your cusses is music to my ears legacy" pang aasar nito.
"We're at the beach already" he told me.
"What are we exactly seeing here?" He asked.
"The sunrise" I told him.
"Naalala ko sayo yung pinsan ko" he chuckled.
"Millicent?" I asked him
He nodded as response.
"But she likes sunsets more"
"Grunt?" I called him
"Wait what?"
"Im just wondering how your name would sound like" I shrugged and her got money from his wallet.
"What's this?" I asked him.
"Your 1000 euros Legacy" he said.
"Hanggang kailan tayo rito?" I asked.
"I dunno , depends kung gusto mo ilibot pa kita sa buong Italy pwede naman." He suggested.
"I just want to chill, Mr. Ashton" I said honestly.
"Okay Legacy , Let's go to the hotel so you can rest." He caressed my hair.
"Wag kang maging mabait saakin hindi ako sanay" I said honestly.
"Im not being nice Legacy , Im just treating you with respect."
