Falling in Love in London

Chapter 20

Chapter 20

For the past few days, Berk and I have been much closer to each other. Arden probably noticed that dahil madalas magkasabay kaming dalawa tuwing lunch at nagtatagal pa kaming dalawa minsan sa pantry. Ginagawa ko pa rin naman ang mga trabaho. Good thing, on time ko rin namang natatapos ang mga tasks ko at nakakapag-report pa ako kay Connagh.

And I'm not sure if Connagh noticed about Berk and I's closeness. Alam naman niyang sabay kaming pumapasok at umuuuwi. We went to the same complex of living so he might not be thinking about it too serious.

Connagh didn't speak about what he's gonna do this weekend. So I wasn't sure if he's going to be at Maurice's last opening of their flower shop or not. He hasn't said a word and I didn't ask because from what I've said, I've kept my distance from him since the moment Amanda took me back to my real senses.

So invited Berk to go with me and my tita to the last opening of Maurice's flower shop. I think he also told Arden about it, but I'm sure it'll be a special day for both of us. Connagh probably won't be there. He's such a busy person so I believe he won't come.

I wore a nice flower print sundress. Pinatungan ko naman ng full sleeve casual jacket so the weather won't took a toll on me. It's still chilly outside. The summer will start by June here in London, but I don't feel like ang Summer dito ay hindi papantay sa kung anong summer sa Pinas na aaabot ng forty degrees. The weather's report early this morning was low 10 degrees to 18 degrees Celsius and that's still cold as hell for me.

Flat sandals naman ang isinuot ko. We could be spending all day na naman at ang magsa-sacrifice ay ang muscle sa binti ko so it's better to wear something comfortable than to look expensive and elegant. It's really not necessary for me to wear those kinds of stuff. I think... it doesn't really suits me.

Saglit lang ay nakatanggap ako ng tawag kay Berk and he's already waiting for me outside the building. Nagmadali na rin naman akong kumilos. I grabbed my handbag and had a quick glance to everything if I'm missing something or not. I had to check my face one last time before heading out of my room.

Para naman akong sabik na batang tinahak ang daan palabas ng builing. I just couldn't get my smile out of my face and it's something I'm not even thinking about. Sadyang napapangiti na lang din talaga ako and I don't know why—maybe because it's weekend and I've got the time to roam around the city.

I met Berkeley when I finally stepped out of the building. He greeted me with a smile on his face. He's very casual on his look. He's on a plaid pants, black shirt, and a full sleeve faded blue denim jacket.

"Good morning, love," he kissed me on my cheek. Pumalibot din naman ang kamay niya sa baywang ko.

"Good morning, Berky," hagikgik ko pa.

He chuckled, scrunching his face. "Is that how you're gonna call me now?"

I nodded. "Yes, and it's cute, right?"

He laughed. "Whatever you want to call me, that's fine. But you looked so gorgeous. You always are."

I blushed, trying to hide my face from him. Lumipat naman ang pagkakahawak niya ng kamay niya mula sa baywang ko patungo sa balikat ko at mas iginiya niya pa ako papalapit sa kanya. I've became comfortable with Berk when I started lowering my wall from having a relationship. Some people might hate me for lowering my guard. Na ang talk shit ko. Na ako lang din pala ang babali sa promise ko na work first before anything else.

It still does, but Berk makes me happy and I needed that at the moment I'm away from my family.

"Where's Gina now?" he asked as we're walking out of the complex heading to the bus station.
