Biglang tumigil ang mundo ko sa pagkabigla. I can't seem to comprehend what he had said. Napakaimposible kasi na mang-aalok siya ng date. Well, he said that he will change let's give him a chance.

"Okay..."

He looks at me, his whole face brighten in delight. Ang dimples nitong kitang-kita ay mas lalong nakikita. He shakes his head at me and put both of his hands on my hips and suddenly lift me up on his shoulders and carry me through the hallway that way.

"Damn, Mrs. Gucci. Let's go." He sing-songs. I now noticed that he's always calling me as Mrs. Gucci which paired up with Mr. Gucci which is him. I chuckle as I playfully slap his butt na nagpapigil ditong maglakad.

"Anong ginawa mo?" Malalim na boses na tanong nito. I giggled, not knowing why I can act like this towards him.

"Ano? Wala naman ah?" I ask innocently.

He scoffs. "Ah, wala?"

"Wala nga-Ahh!" Bigla niya nalang akong pinalo sa aking pwet. "Clive, ano ba?! Ibaba mo na nga ako!" I shouted. The whole hallway is so quiet that it made me feel so dizzy because of my position right now.

"Ayoko nga." He laughs. I groaned. "Then, umalis na tayo dito. Nahihilo na ako."

"Okay..." He said, bago pa ako makareklamo ay pinutolan niya na naman ako. "Let's go!"

At siya'y mabilis na tumakbo habag bitbit ako sa balikat niya. I can feel my lunch and dinner from last night in my throat and I immediately slap his back hard. Mabuti nalang nakaabot kami sa parking lot bago pa ako makasuka ng mga lamanng luob ko. The moment I got down from his hold, nawalan ako ng balanse dahil sa hilo na kaagad niya namang sinalo.

"Lintek ka!" Bulyaw ko sa kaniya na ginantihan niya lang ng tawa at lumapit na sa driver ko na naghihintay sa akin. I immediately went towards manong Edgardo at nahihiyang ngumiti dito. Hindi ko kayang makipagtitig dito dahil baka nakita nito ang nangyari kanina.

The older man chuckles. "Don't worry, ma'am. Hindi naman po ako nagrereport sa Papa mo eh."

I let out a nervous laugh. "Thank you po."

Clive steps forward and puts his hand on the hanger of my bag and hang his hand there making me lean on his back. Naiiritang tinapakan ko ang paa nito ngunit hindi man lang ito nasakitan.

"Salamat po, sumunod nalang po kayo sa motor ko papunta sa destinasyon na pupuntahan namin." Clive reminded. Tumango naman ang matanda at pumasok na sa sasakyan. Bigla nalang pinahubad ni Clive ang bag na suot ko at pinapasok sa trunk ng sasakyan kasama ang bag niyang itim.

Bumaling siya kaagad sa akin at ngumiti. "Let's go?"

I smiled and nodded. Kaagad niya namang hinuli ang kamay ko at hinila ako sa motorsiklo niyang mamahalin. Lumaki ang mata ko sa nakita kong pag-aari niya. Damn.

"Is that a Ducati?" I excitedly said. Even though my brother is a guy and so is my dad I've never seen them owning this kind of motorcycle. He grins widely at me which made him look more enchanting tonlook at. My heart started on beating eratically while seeing him smiling proudly. He immediately turn around and get the two helmets which made me frown.

"Paano ka nagkadalawang helmet? May kasama ka bang iba kung umuuwi ka?" He smiles and shakes his head.

"I bought this yesterday for you." He winks. Napatawa nalang ako para itago ang pagwawala ng puso ko.
