Two Hearts, One Rhythm

Chapter 4

"Stop trying to make fun of me. You know how much I love my abuela!"

"I am not making fun of you! Tinatanong lang kita!" Levi laughed and I frowned. Oh, diba! Typical bad boy vibes nga.

"Eh, ikaw? Hindi mo rin naman ako gusto dahil may iba ka diba?" I fired back.

He raised his brows at me. "Don't make this about me now, sweetheart. Our only focus today is you."

"You talk too much because you're trying to divert the topic."

He chuckled and shook his head but didn't say anything afterwards anymore. I was just watching him as he sipped on his coffee and traveled his gaze back to me.

Later on, I sighed and looked out the windows of the cafe we're in. Garden was placed outside and I even saw butterflies flying around the area, and some kids running around. The sound of their laughs can be heard inside the place.

"Do you really think the merging of the hospital and the company will thrive if we marry?" I asked, still looking outside.

Ramdam kong nakatingin siya sa akin kaya binalik ko na ang tingin sa kanya. I gave him a small smile, and he smiled back at me.

"It really isn't necessary for you to uphold a childhood promise. There's more to your life, sweetheart." He said. "As your future husband, I am letting you go to find another prospect." He added that made me frown at him.

He laughed when he saw my reaction. He then held my hands and caressed it softly. "You don't have to force yourself. You still have three years to think this through. Maybe on your 25th or before, you'll know your answer."

I am sitting in the gazebo in our backyard as I still pondered over what Levi said. I was caressing my dog as I stared at nowhere. Umaga pa lang kaya kita ko ang itsura ng mga plants and trees sa buong area.

I was only brought back to reality when my dog barked and jumped from my lap. I followed him with my gaze and saw that he welcomed my other dog with play fights. I smiled at them, adoringly.

I have two dogs. A golden retriever and an Alaskan malamute. Both of them were boys. I love dogs so much, especially the big breeds! They don't scare me, I even find them cute. I just want to cuddle them all day.

I looked at them and laughed how the other rolled on his tummy on the grass as the other continued to fake bite the ears.

If only I could stare at them all day, I would do it. But, my gaze from them was torn away because of the message I received. When I saw who it was, I eagerly opened the messaging app to type a reply.

Mr. Right <3:

Are you busy?

Me:

Nope! But if you are, I don't want to impose 😇

Mr. Right <3:

I have free time.

So, 'yon lang? I frowned.

Me:

Do you just want to say that or you want me to see you?

Mr. Right <3:

Well, I always need to see you. But, I will adjust on your free time, not mine.

Me:

Well, I am free today! 🥰

And, everyday. I wanted to add but stopped myself.

Mr. Right <3:

When will we meet, then?

I was about to type in my reply for him when a message from Crim popped up.

Dugo:

are you ready? today's our company visit in OPM Inc. sana kumikilos ka na. our driver will pick you up within an hour

Mierda! I almost forgot about that! Bibisita pala kami today sa company to see our future nature of work. Nabanggit nga pala nila mommy ito kanina but I was so preoccupied with my thoughts that I brushed it off. As much as I want to see Aiden today, I also want to see the company.

I frowned. Kailan ba kami magkikita ni Aiden? Ugh!

Busangot ang face ko habang nagtatype ng reply for Crim.

Me:

Panira ka

Dugo:

ginagawa ko sayong gago ka. mag ayos ka na

I groaned as I typed a reply for Aiden this time. Hopefully, there will be another day set for us to meet!

Me:

Too bad I have to raincheck on our date today ☹️ Will visit the company with Crim and Bella today. I'm sorryyy

He replied immediately. He really isn't busy, huh.

Mr. Right <3:

It's okay. Thank you for informing me. Next time, then?

Me:

Do you still want to court me? 👉👈

Mr. Right <3:

Why would you ask that? You're on top of my priorities. Of course, I still want to court you.

Me:

You won't change your mind, then?

Mr. Right <3:

Never. So, I suggest you prepare for your company visit and do your girl things. Liligawan pa rin kita.

I shut my eyes tightly as I feel my heart beating rapidly as if trying to win a horse race. My gosh, his effect on me!

I prepared myself for the company visit. I took a bath and took my time pampering myself. I picked a simple soft pink dress that fell above my knees. I partnered it with a white sandals. I was contemplating on what perfume I will wear today, whether Dior or Dolce & Gabbana but I chose the latter. While doing so, I have a smile on my face as I change my clothes and sprayed the perfume. Nakakakilig talaga!

Then, I proceeded on fixing my makeup. I put on my Bobbi Brown foundation then fixed my blush and my eye makeup. I was humming as I put my Mac lipstick and even puckered my lips in front of the mirror. So pretty!

A maid knocked on my door to inform me that the driver was already waiting outside. Buti na lang I finished dressing up and my makeup was already set. I got my Chanel purse before going downstairs, still humming.

I got my phone out my purse as I continued to descend the stairs.

Me:

Done preparing for the company visit. Going down the stairs, as of the moment 😁

I looked at my steps to prevent sliding down the stairs accidentally! That would be embarrassing and Crim would never stop teasing me about it if it happened!

My phone beeped and I stopped walking for a while. My smile widened and I knew I would have a good day.

Mr. Right <3:

Have a good day. If you want to talk later about your day, I'm here. Ingat ka, Mish.
