GAYLE'S POV
Andito na kami ngayon ni Aviella sa orphanage kung saan nasabi ni Vinny sa chat, I was delighted to see him interacting with the children, and he was also willing to pose for photographs with the teenagers. I felt Aviella nudging me and turned to face her.
" Hmm... "
" Ganda ng ngiti natin kay Vincent ah. Tsaka ang titig mo girl, baka matunaw siya niyan ha. " She teased, and I just looked at her blankly. I returned my focus to Vinny, who was now approaching me.
My eyes widened as I looked to my side, where my friend was standing, but she was gone. I looked ahead and saw her waving at me, and I shot her a frown; she giggled and sent me a flying kiss.
" Your here.. uhmm sorry, dito pa kita na invite, I hope it's alright with you to spend the day with me here....I mean with the kids here.. " Vinny said and I shyly put my hair in behind my ears. " Oh no it's alright.... Ano kaba.. Me and my mother usually visit this kind of orphanage in Ilocos Norte. " I smiled.
" That's good to hear.. I was afraid you'd get bored here, but I guess I was wrong.. " he said and gave me a smile.
" you both are different from each other. " he quietly continued, tilting my head at his final phrase. Her ? Oh, I guess he's referring to his ex-wife.
I cleared my throat and smiled at him, and I couldn't help but notice his attractive features. He was dressed in a dark blue polo shirt with white stripes on the collar and on both sides, which he combined with blue slacks, black Vans shoes, and a sling bag on his shoulders.
Bakit ang gwapo niya?! At ang bango pa. Lord layuan mo ko sa lalaking to please.
Ang gwapo niya talaga.
Vinny snapped his fingers at me, interrupting my daydream, and questioned, " Are you okay? You spaced out? " I nodded mutely, and he grinned.
" I know I'm too handsome.. Let's go? I'll introduce you to the kids here in the orphanage.. " He said, and I scoff at what he said, he chuckled and held my hands, and I felt butterflies explode in me when he touched my hands. I just followed him as he drew me towards the youngsters who were currently performing something in front of the audience and the first lady. I became terrified as I was about to approach her.
" Mom this is Amethyst. " Vinny introduced me to his mother aka the first lady of the Philippines. " Hello po madam first lady, it's an honor to meet you po. Ako po pala si Amethyst Gayle Cruz. " I said and the first lady smiled and leaned in to make beso.
" Oh no dear, just call me Tita Liza. My son here talked about you coming here and specially to my grandson who said that you were the one who helped him find his father here, which is yung bunso kung anak. " she said and I shyly gave her smile. " She's pretty anak ha.. " I heard madam Liza said to her son Vinny who looked at me and gave me a shy smile.
" Daddy! " yelled a small voice, and I turned to see Liam sprinting for his father, whom Vinny promptly caught and carried. He kissed his son's cheeks, and Liam's eyes widened when he saw me. " Oh hi, ate amethyst! " he waved, and I waved back, ruffling his hair. " Hello, Liam. " I said.
" Anak doon ka muna sa lola mommy mo ha. " He said to his son who nodded his head, Madam Liza I mean tita Liza carried her apo and gave me a sweet smile.
" Halika apo. Doon muna tayo sa loob with the kids. Let's leave your dad and your ate to date muna hihi. " She giggled and Liam beamed.
" Mom. " Vinny muttered, and Tita Liza covered her mouth, saying, " Ok lola mommy hehe. Bye dada, bye ate." He waved as they both exited the orphanage. Vinny was left blushing and uncomfortably stroking his nape " I'm sorry about them..." he apologized. "Oh no, it's fine.. " I said.
" I tour muna kita dito sa orphanage.. halika na... " He remarked, and I followed him again as he talked, telling me about the folks we went by, and all I did was smile and bow.
When the kids all ran up to Vinny, I couldn't help but smile at his bunny smile. I then interacted with and played with the children.
