Bewildering Flights with you, Captain

21

I stared at Denver while he was busy typing on his phone. His thick brows and deep eyes made him look like the serious-type. He has thin lips that were a bit red. His lips looked healthier than mine. His jawline was... attractive as hell.

"Ms. Zendejas, can you- Why are you staring at me?" I faked a cough before I looked into his eyes. He raised his brows while stopping a smile. He looked amused!

"Pangit mo kasi," pagtataray ko. Inirapan ko pa siya kaya mas lalo siyang napangiti.

"That's not how you look at someone who's ugly in your eyes. You wanna see how you stared at me a while ago?" I got conscious when he stared at me. His eyes screamed adoration. "Like this..." I could see how his lips formed a smile that later on turned to a smirk.

"Hindi naman ganiyan! Epal ka." Umiwas ako ng tingin at nagpanggap na abala sa phone.

"Denver," a man called Denver. That voice was kinda' familiar. His perfume... Hindi naman siya si... Nilingon ko tuloy ang tumawag kay Den.

"Oh, Cap! Long time no see! Kumusta ka?"

My eyes widened when I saw Markus. He glanced at me. I felt my heart beating so fast when our eyes met. It felt like the first time we looked into each other's eyes.

"Are you having a date? Anyway, I'm just here to buy a drink, then I saw you. I'll inform you now about the changes in our schedule." He looked serious. He was standing there with his hands inside his pockets. He was wearing a plain shirt and a pair of sweatpants.

"Ah, hindi kami nagd-date. Nagpasama lang ako kay Sophia na bumili ng gift para sa mama ko. Inaya ko na siya diretso rito sa coffee shop."

"Oh, I see. Here's your new schedule for this week." I looked away and smiled by myself. He couldn't look at me that long. He hates me now.

I spent a year trying to find my old self. I tried fixing my life because it got messed up when I asked him to let me go. I know I am toxic for thinking that he's being unfair. He's now happy with his ex-girlfriend... his new girlfriend.

Everyone has moved on, but I was there, crying myself to sleep. It's just funny how everything went out of my way. I asked for this but I am suffering more than he did. I should be happy for him, right?

Karenne invited me to a party. Ipapakilala niya raw ako sa ibang friends niya. From what I've heard from her, one of those 'friends' is married to a famous idol. Some people are just so lucky.

"Pia!" Karenne waved her hand when she saw me. I went to her and smiled. "Halika, papakilala kita kila Zandraile."

I noticed some familiar faces. The famous fashion designer, Zandraile Aicah Leimor. The famous model and artist, Zelena Zhaira Dominguez.

"Hi!" Zelena greeted me. She's Eris' friend. I smiled at her. "Join us!"

"Hi.. Sophia, right?" Zandraile asked.

"Hello! Yeah, I'm Sophia Ava Zendejas. Actually, kilala ko na kayong dalawa, you two are famous." They both smiled sweetly.
