If Yesterday Could Disappear

Chapter 25

De Luca

After spending the whole day together picking my clothes for tonight, I settled with a dark green corset tube top, a black Lebone high-rise wide-leg pants, and black ankle boots.

Then grabbed my Christian Dior Forest Green Mini Chain Bag. Sinuot ko din ang aking Saint Laurent, chain necklace at Riccova Gem Stone earrings. Damn, I look good.

My original hair is wavy that's why I asked Aiden to help me iron it earlier and he did a great job. I tucked my hair behind both of my ears then proceed to look at myself at my mirror one last time. Naglagay ako ng kaunting make-up sa mukha ko at nagbrow-soap lang para natural yung itsura ko, then sprayed my favorite perfume all over my body.

Ano pa bang nalimutan ko? I brushed my teeth, I even shaved! I did everything yet It still feels like something is missing.

My thoughts were interrupted when I heard my doorbell rang and I immediately ran over there to open the door. Pagkabukas ko ng pintuan ay bumungad sa akin si Aiden na nakasuot ng black na short sleeve turn down collar shirt, paired with a grey trouser with a gucci belt and lastly black shoes.

"Oh, Così stupendo." His hands crawled to my waist pulling me closer while he admires my face. Namuo ang hiya sa mukha ko kaya't bahagya ko itong tinulak at hinawakan ang kamay nito para tingnan ang Rolex na nandoon, to check the time.

"Did you just called me stupid?"

"What?"

"Let's go, baka malate tayo."

"Said the women who always go to work late," he chuckled.

"Shut up, will ya?"

Binigyan ko ito ng isang masamang tingin bago naglakad papunta sa elevator. I am always late and I am not sorry for that, but this is different! My life depends on it,

"Okay, Ma'am." He said and followed me inside the elevator with his hands on both of his pockets.

I could feel my heart so close to leaving my chest and I've never felt this nervous all my life, and I can't believe that only this man beside me could make me feel that sort of feeling again. From the moment we met, the day I kissed him and those days around him, I feel different emotions aside from anger and loneliness.

And now, I'm meeting his parents. His family.

And I don't know what to do, I want to be perfect for them, I want them to like me.

My thoughts drifted away when I felt Aiden's hand touched mine, intertwining both of our fingers. I could feel the warmth from his palm and it brought comfort to my shaking hand.

"You look beautiful," he smiled making the butterflies in my stomach go crazy, before pulling me out of the elevator to his eye catching car.

"Sana all naka Bugatti," Noong nakaraan lambo ang gamit niya tapos ngayon ibang sasakyan ang gagamitin namin? "Woah, Walton ka nga talaga,"

"The Walton's are millionaire's, but being a De Luca is on another level, darling." Ngumisi ito at pinagbuksan ako ng pintuan. I entered his car with a frown in my face while my eyes followed him until he took a seat beside me.

"De Luca?" Nakita ko na ang mga certificates nitong nakalagay sa tabi ng TV niya but it still confuses me. Is that some sort of Italian Mafia?
