Chapter 95: Vague Intentions (Part 2)

Vince parked the car right in front of a cafe before he turned to face Tricia.

Hays, ang antukin talaga, he smiles.

"Hon, we're here," he gently tapped Tricia's arms to wake her up, she fell asleep on their way, "hon, gising na."

"1 minute, hon," she groaned.

Anong 1 minute? Akala ata nito nasa bahay lang kami, Vince chuckles.

He then gently unbuckled her seatbelt but Tricia hugs his neck, "one more minute, hon, please."

Kung wala lang akong gagawin iuuwi ko na talaga ito sa bahay, he thought to himself as he grinned.

Vince made sure to hold her firmly, "hon, gising ka na. Wala tayo sa bahay, nandito na tayo. May meeting ka pa diba."

As soon as Tricia heard that from Vince she slowly opened her eyes, "what?"

"Nandito na tayo, may meeting ka."

Tricia looked outside the window before she checks her wristwatch, oh shoots, she almost forgot about her meeting.

"Hon, bakit hinayaan mo ako matulog ng matagal? Sabi ko idlip lang ako gising mo rin ako."

"Ginigising kita kanina pero ayaw mo kaya hinayaan na kita hanggang makarating tayo rito."

Tricia could only heave a sigh then quickly did a retouch while Vince was watching her.

"Don't worry, honey, maganda ka pa rin naman," he smiled.

"Nang-iinis ka pa!"

"Totoo naman yun, hon," Vince smiled.

     He chuckles when she hit his arms.

     "Hindi ako nakikipag biruan!"

     "Okay, sorry. Relax ka lang kasi hon, 15 mins. early ka naman, eh. Binilisan ko na nga mag drive para hindi ka late."

"I know, I know," she shushed him.

Vince zipped his mouth and let Tricia do her thing until she finished then bid their goodbye to each one.

"Hon, paano itong mga binili mo kanina?" Vince asked referring to the paper bags in the backseat.

"Yung dalawa dyan kay Halley, give it to her mamaya. That one is for Adan, the rest is your polo and my dresses. Iuwi mo sa bahay and put it in our closet, tsaka ko na aayusin kapag umuwi na kami ni Adan doon."

"Yes, ma'am!"

"Huwag mo pong kalimutan ha!"

"Oo naman, hon, ako pa."

"Sige na, goodbye, hon," she let their lips touched, "I'll see you later, drive safely ha. Ingat sa pag sundo kay ate."

"I will, hon, see you too later. Ingat ka."

Tricia cups his face then hugs him.

"Love you, ingat ka."

"Love you too, hon," Vince let Tricia go and watched her get off the car as she made her way inside until she disappeared.

As usual, Vince swing by at Wildflour to grabbed Halley her favorite Cuban sandwich and brownies for dessert.

"Vince?" He heard right away.

He looks around once he stepped inside.

"Hi! It's nice to see you again!"
