Chasing Dreams (Book 2)

Four

SANDRO's POV

I was on my way to pick up Samantha at the resort. She agreed to come with me today to my District Work. I checked my watch and it's almost 7 am.

Sandro: Right on time.

When I arrived at the place, I saw her at the entrance and patiently waiting for me. I quickly got out of the car and fetch her. She was smiling the moment she saw me. I stare at her from head to toe.
How is it possible that she's only wearing simple clothes pero bagay na bagay sa kanya? She was actually wearing a comfy shirt, faded maong pants and rubber shoes.

Samantha: H-hi.

She greeted me while she shyly waved at me. Her smile was so damn sexy and she's not even wearing makeup. She has fair skin like mine and her hair was long charcoal-black that has natural curls. Even her eyes were as black as her hair, too. Why am I describing her right now? I feel like I was drowning with her smile and stares.

Sandro: Morning. Are you ready?

Samantha: Uhm-hmm.

Sandro: Alright, let's go.

The PSGs assisted us to get in the car. She was so shy to even speak or looked at me. She was focused at the window, staring at the road.

Sandro: Samantha.

Here we go again. My heart is pounding like crazy as if I was on a race.

Samantha: Y-yes?

Sandro: I know you haven't eaten yet. I bought some burger for breakfast. Let's eat? Medyo malayo ang byahe.

She bit her lower lip and met my gazed. I swallowed as I was staring at the lip that she was biting.

Samantha: Thank you.

Sandro: You're welcome.

Samantha: What should I do? I mean. Anong dapat kong gawin mamaya? May... may maitutulong ba ko?

Sandro: Nothing. Just be with me... I mean, just be with my staff and team. You can help them by distributing some groceries I think, if you want. Don't force yourself on too much activity. Hindi ka pa magaling.

Woah! That was close! I really wanted to be with her and I don't know why.

Samantha: Ah, okay. That was easy.

Sandro: By the way, I have something for you.

I handed her a small paper bag and she just looked at me.

Sandro: Come on, open it.

She was hesitant to get it from me. Her eyes widened when she saw what's inside.

Samantha: D-did you bought this?!

Sandro: That's my old phone. I no longer use it. People has cellphones nowadays for communication. I don't know how to reach you aside from going to the resort and knock in front your door. You can use it in the meantime.

Did I say it right? Tama naman di ba? Gusto ko sya makausap kahit nasa bahay na ko. Damn it? I feel like a teenager.

Samantha: But... This is.... This is an iPhone 13, right? Isn't too much? I can just use a regular phone-

Sandro: Silly. I just told you. It's my old phone and I no longer use it, Samantha. You don't have to worry, okay? May sim card and load na din yan. I just save my number there so you can call or text me anytime.
