Chapter 7

Doc Martens

"Where exactly does this "world" of yours that I need to change my clothes?" I ak Fourtene with my qouting fingers the world. After our dinner he urges me to join him down to the ground floor where shops and cafes are located.

I was just following him entering shops after shops without actual buying anything. Until he found a store that match to his liking. He is currently choosing a set of clothes for me in a rack of dresses. Instead of answering me he pulled out a red maxi dress that is decent in lustful way. He showed it to me at itinabi sa kanana ko para timbangin kung kakasya ba ito sa akin. I was distracted a bit because of the dress but I need answers.

"You don't like it?" tanong nito sa akin nang hindi ko ito man lang pinansin. I try not to roll my eyes on him and calm myself.

"Maybe if you answer my question it will make your life easier." I said as a matter of fact sa kanya. "And why these dresses, are we going to a club or something?" muli kong tanong sa kanya. I look myself in the mirror na nadoon at sa tingin ko naman ay desente ang damit ko. I am wearing a white shirt patnered with maong jeans and 2 inch heels. Ito ang suot ko galing sa school at ang akala ko ay kakain lang kami kaya dina ako nag abalang mag-ayos ng todo.

Bumuntong-hininga ito at ibinalik ang damit sa lalagyan nito tsaka ako hinarap. He held my both hands and look at me intently. Kaba nag unang emotion na nabasa ko sa kanyang mata na napalitan ng determinasyon.

"I am going to show you the other side of me, we are going to a race." he said without batting an eyelashes. I look at him blankly because of that. Isang race? What other side of me ba ang tinutukoy nito? Isn't that his sport passion?

"Oookayyy." I replied with unsure tone. "I mean, isang race lang naman pala tayo pupunta why didn't you tell me sooner. I could choose my own clothes naman eh, just tell me where are we going para alam ko kung ano ang susuotin ko." sabi ko habang nag-umpisa nang tumingin sa mga nakasabit na damit doon. Para namang nabunutan ng tinik ang kausap ko at ngayo'y ngumiti na sa akin.

"You really are fit to me." he said casually pero it made an announce race to my heart. Tumingin ako dito para tignan kung seryoso ba ito ngunit naglakad na ito palayo sa akin at nagtungo sa sofa para maupo.

"Calm down, my crazy heart." usap ko sa sarili at huminga ng malalim bago pinagpatuloy ang pagpili. I scan the clothes rack and find something particular that could catch my attention. Nang wala kong matipuhan doon ay lumipat ako sa ibang mga damit na nakadisplay doon. I don't really get him, isang race lang namn pala kami pupunta why does he need to be nervous about telling me about it.

A set of clothes from a mannequin fits to my liking kaya ito ang kinuha ko with the help of the store staff. I was on my way to the fitting room when I heard him say na kumuha ako ng leather jacket in red color. So I grab one and headed to the fitting area. Nang matapos ako sa pagbibihis ay muli kong pinasadahan ng tingin ang suot ko.

A very tight cut-off shorts in black, a white tube-top, and Doc Martens. Inayos ko na rin ang buhok ko by setting it in a high ponytail to flex my jaw and neck. I finish my get-up by swipping my MAC Ruby lipstick to my lips. Nang matapos na ay lumabas na ako only to find out na wala na ang kasama ko.

I started to feel panic ng biglang bumukas ang katabing fitting room ng nilabasan ko. Fourth also change his clothes in all black except for the inner shirt which is matchy to my leather jacket, red. He looks awfully hot. But I don't tell him that. But considering the way he catches me staring at him, I think he knows what I think of how he looks. Thankfully, he doesn't say anything, saving me from embarrassment.

He, on the other hand, doesn't even try to hide his appreciation for my look. As I put on my jacket, na lalong nagpatingkad sa kaputian ko, he's focused on me. I blush, smoothing out my shirt and clearing my throat.
