COLLIDED

Continuation....

"Hmm" She hummed in between their kisses. The both of them were still outside, sharing the prescious moment they've been waiting for so long.

Irene's body is enveloped by Greggy's arms which serves as support for their position as they kiss under the sky, and  witnessed by the moon and the thousand stars.

They were savoring the taste of each other's lips, not wanting to broke the kiss but suddenly, their business interrupted when one of the guests saw them kissing.

Right after the two saw the guest, they immediately broke their kiss. They were shocked and ashamed at the same time.

Irene cannot look at the guest straight into the eye because of embarrassment. While Greggy on the other hand, finds it funny. Reminiscing their moments when the two of them were still together and some random strangers tends to caught them kissing and flirting, Irene always become like that. She will always feel embarrassed, and would just probably hide her face the whole time. And Greggy finds it funny, knowing that she haven't change as the time goes by. Some part of her didn't change, it was still the same Irene that used to love and he used to love.

"Oh I'm sorry for interrupting the both of you." A business colleague uttered.

"No, it's fine. We're sorry for...uhm, you know." Irene stuttered as she was really embarrassed at the moment. While Greggy is just beside her stifling his smile.

"It's fine, I didn't see it clearly. It was too dark though. Anyways, I gotta go. It was nice meeting you Ms. Marcos." The man uttered and offered his hand to Irene for a shake hands.

"Thanks to you too, Mr. Lim." Irene accepted his hands with a smile drawn on het face.

After the incident, the man lead his way out of their sight and left them alone.

"I'm sorry." Irene uttered as she bowed her head down because she doesn't want him to see her face.

"Hey? Why are you apologizing? I was the one who kissed you without permission so I should be the one saying sorry and not you." Greggy uttered as he look at her.

"It was also my fault cuz I didn't do anything and instead of stopping you, I became intoxicated and got drove away by the moment." She uttered, head still bowed down.

"Hey, it's alright okay? Nothing to worry about it, I like it." Greggy uttered which made her face him. She looked at him in the eyes, wondering if he's lying or not.

"Why are you here?" She asked out of nowhere, trying to change the topic because the atmosphere was getting hot.

"I'm sorry, a friend of mine invited me here. I didn't know you were the founder of MEZCLA CLO. that's why I didn't hesitate to accept the invitation." He answered.

"Oh, how did you know I was here? I mean... Why did you follow me?" She throw another question to him.

"Because the time you were delivering your speech, my eyes were glued into you. I witnessed how you successfully delivered it infront of us, so my eyes followed you, then my body followed." He smiled, looking at her eyes.

"But why?" She asked one more time.

"Cuz I wanted too, I wanted to show up as a new person. I wanted to talk to you, for you to know that I'm not a coward anymore and I want to pursue you for the second time around." Greggy uttered and held her hands. While Irene on the other hand, feels shy and speechless from what he said.

"How can you say that things? Our communication ended a long time ago. And we haven't seen each other for more than a year. Isn't it too ironic for you to still like me after what happened to us?" She said.
