Shelter In You (MASVEDO SERIES #2)

Kabanata 24

I swallowed hard when I heard Dave's car outside of our house.

We will go to their mansion today because his father wants to see me he said. I have been there a lot of times already but today I am extra nervous. I don't know how to act in front of him.

Nang makapasok si Dave sa loob ng bahay agad siyang sinalubong ni Henz at Plue. I frowned when he looked at me. After greeting Henz and my dog he straightly went to my Mom and they talk for a while. After they talk, Dave walk toward me and slightly kiss me on my cheeks that made me shy because Mom is watching us.

Umiling-iling si Mommy saka nakangiting nag-iwas ng tingin.

"Take her home safely Dave." Paalala ni Mommy.

"Ate where are you going? It's late! Can I come with you?" Sinaway ni Mommy si Henz kaya nakasimangot nalang itong nagpatuloy sa paglalaro.

"Bella I'll wait."

"Yeah Mom"

Dave opened the door for me so I bit my lower lips before stepping out of our house. Nang makalapit sa kotse niya agad ko siyang nilingon saka tiningnan ng nagrereklamo but he just chuckled and opened the door of his car for me. Napairap pa ako bago pumasok sa loob.

Ayoko sanang pumunta sa kanila ngayong gabi kaso pinagpaalam ako ni Dave kay Mommy kaagad. I'm feeling awkward everytime his Dad tease us!

"I can't understand your Dad, why does he wanna see me?" He shrugged.

"I don't know too, he likes you for me maybe?" I rolled my eyes and check my self on the rearview mirror.

I took effort for this night. I don't know what to wear! I don't knoq if this is a formal dinner so I wore my red tube dress and black stilletos. I even applied a long lasting make up!

"By the way, you look great. I wanna lock you in my room." Agad nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa biglaang sinabi niya kasabay no'n ang pag-init ng pisngi ko.

Ilang akong napatikhim saka napatingin sa labas. I heard him chuckle but I'm to shy to say somethinh. I think I overdress!

Hindi pa kami nakakarating sa mansion nila ng bumuhos ang malakas na ulan. There's thunder and lighting also. This unexpected rain made me nervous even more.

"Dave, 'wag na kaya muna ngayon? It's raining hard." I said so he glance at me then shook his head.

"No Isa, we are almost here." Napabasa nalang ako sa ibabang labi ko saka tumahimik.

Napalunok ako ng tuluyang makapasok sa gate nila ang kotse ni Dave. I could see the beautiful lights of their house despite of the heavy rain. The fountain looks so amazing too.

Dave opened the door for me when he parked and immediately encircled his arm around my waist when I went out. When we finally entered their mansion the heavy rain can't felt here. Their house maids greeted us. If their mansion looks so classy in the morning it's more classy and elegant on the evening.

"You're here! Bella! You look great!" I smiled lightly and awkwardly at his Dad and did a 'beso'.
He smiled at me before teasingly look at Dave.

"I thought you are being rusty." He said to his son so my face heated. Dave groaned and pull mw closer to him more so his Dad laughed.

"Let's eat, I am already hungry and I am great you came Bella. I have been asking Dave about you for this past days. Ikaw kasi ang palaging mukhang bibig niya. He actually needs to stay in Manila for four weeks for our business but he didn't becuase he said he'll check on you. Akala ko babalik siya kaagad doon kasi excuse naman pero mukhang hindi na ata."
