100 Ways to Get Fortunato (Complete)

"One deep talk and apology could fix it all." I looked at Gian after he told me all his reasons. We are currently at the rooftop of a restaurant. He owns this and I couldn't help but be amazed. I leaned on the railings to watch the vehicles passing by.

"That is what Ali said to me."

He handed me a soda in can and look in front in which city lights sparkle. "I am so lucky to be forgiven."

"Yeah," I looked at him from head to toe and rolled my eyes. "I love you."

He looked at me with so much adoration then turned his gaze away, he gulped.

"Pwede ba kita halikan?" He asked not looking at me. I almost spit out my drink.

"W-Why would you asked?" He looked at me with serious eyes. I pointed my index finger at his face. "What is that looked for? Huh?"

"Hahalikan kita." He said in demand.

"Ha—" I almost dropped my soda when his lips suddenly met mine, gladly he caught the soda before it slips out of my hand. I can taste mint and orange juice in his mouth and these kisses are addicting that I keep wanting for more.

"Wow-- hm," I couldn't look at his eyes when we parted. I don't know what to say either. I covered my face with my hand, I groaned when the cold can of soda touched my skin that made Gian laughed.

How embarrassing!

He reached for me then embraced me. I can feel my heartbeat and I am so happy. How warm it is to be locked in his arms. I dreamed of this. I hope for this.

"I will not resort to hurting you again, I love you Florence."

"I love you, too."

We took our time to talk about life, to understand each feeling, and to reflect on our past. "We lost a lot of time."

"It's okay, I have you now." He squeezed my hand before giving me a sweet smile. "Pwede bang dito ka na matulog?"

"Where?" I raised my brow at him. He pointed at a building in front of us.

"My apartment." He explained. My mouth formed an 'oh'.

"Yeah, sure." I cleared my throat.

It was a five-story building and well established the area is small but elegant at the same time. There is no elevator tho and his apartment is in the fifth floor. I just noticed that it was only one door, unlike other floors. "You own this floor?"

"I own this building." He smirked and opened the door of his apartment.

Ang linis ng apartment niya, mukha ngang hindi masyadong tinitirahan pero malinis naman. All I can see is, gray, white and nude color. The living room is spacious, may dalawang rooms, office, and bed. May balcony at well organize na kitchen. Is bachelor's pad always this neat?

I never imagined this, akala ko magulo sila.

I took a shower first and I am... ah... having wild thoughts. My gosh! I turned off the shower and put on the clothes that Gian lend me.

"P-Pwede ka na maligo,"

He smiled at me like he just read my mind. I couldn't look at him and I can feel my hot cheeks when he passed by me. I sat on the couch at the living room to calm myself.

"Ikaw na sa kwarto may couch naman sa office roon na lang ako," He said while drying his hair. "Go on."

He escorted me to the room, his room smells like him. "Oh, the bed is enough for us."

"Baka maging uncomfortable—"

"Hindi!" I said immediately

 "I-I mean, no of course not. Ang tangkad mo kaya para sa couch." I awkwardly laughed.
