Versailles Series Book 7: The Ballerina [COMPLETED]

CHAPTER 12

=== A L E X A N D R I A ===

After months of staying here in the club, wala ng malaking progress ang pakikipaglapit ko kay Miggy. He's good at evading me. Madalas na rin daw itong lumilipad papuntang Maynila hindi tulad noon na sa club talaga ito nagta-trabaho.

The next chance I have is the club's Valentine's ball. From what I know, all members are required to attend. Bumangon ako at tinignan ang mga evening gown ko.

Umiling ako. These won't do. I need something that catch Miggy's attention. With that in mind, pumunta ako sa boutique sa club. I've been there a couple of times and now it is fairly busy due to the upcoming ball.

"Hi Miss Ria."

Nginitian ko si Marceline. "Hi! I think you know what I am here for."

"Sure! You're one of the ladies I am excited to dress this Valentine's."

"Give me a gown that will make Miggy notice me."

"You're really head over heels that guy hmmm?" There was sympathy in her eyes. In everyone's eyes whenever I say things that I do for Miggy.

I slumped on the chair. "Look at me. Pangit ba ako?"

Umiling ito. "I really like the structure of your face. Very young looking. And your body...its slender enough but not too thin. Very sexy. You can be a model if you're not a ballerina."

"Maybe he just hates me."

"Well, what look are you going for? Something classic? Sexy? Bold?"

"I always dressed conservatively. Iyung mga ballet costumes ko na ang pinaka-revealing ko kumpara sa mga nasusuot ko sa labas. I want something he has not seen before."

"If you want to command him to look at you, I would recommend red with a darker shade. I can show you some designs. I want you to be the woman that you want on that night but still be comfortable in what you're wearing."

"I like that."

I went with Marceline as she showed me the different styles and cuts of the gowns. She eve gave some help on choosing the shoes and bags.

Habang pauwi ay napatingin ako sa bahay ni Miggy. Wala ang sasakyan nito kaya alam kong wala ito sa bahay. I found myself on the porch and looking at his door.

Lahat ng pinto sa mga bahay dito sa Versailles ay kailangan ng pin code. There are a total of 5 tries before the house sends an alarm to the security office.

Nilabas ko ang cellphone ko at sinulat ang mga petsa na pwede nitong gawing pin code. I don't know why I'm doing this.

I tried his birthdate. Error.

Noong kami pa ay ginagawa nitong pin ang araw na sinagot ko siya. I tried on the combination. Error.

I tried on my birthdate bilang feelingera ako na gagawin ni Miggy na pin code iyon. Error.

May susubukan pa sana ako ulit nang may marinig akong busina ng sasakyan. Dahil sa panic ay nagtago ako sa gilid ng bahay. Hindi masyadong maingay ang mga sasakyan dito kaya buti na lang ay bumusina ito kahit papaano.

Akala ko ay lalagpas lang ang sasakyan pero bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko nang marinig ang pinto ng sasakyan at ang mga yapak nito sa porch. I confirmed it was Miggy when I heard him speaking on the phone.

"I'll stay here for a couple of weeks until the Valentine's before I go back there."

Sino kaya ang kausap nito?
