Unconditional Love (PORDEE)

Chapter 6

Michelle's POV

Anntonia and I went back to the ballroom to inform Mr. Porsild that we'll go back to our rooms. We couldn't stop smiling at each other. I can't believe that she's also feeling the same way as I do.

"You know I'd still court you right?" I said

"Well surprisingly, I know.... knowing you're a gentlewoman" I chuckled as we reached the front of her room.

"Goodnight, Dee"

"Can't you just stay in my room tonight?"

"Nope, bye!" She quickly replied.

"But.."

"Goodnight" she said as she went inside

"Wait Ann?!?"

"Nope, see you tomorrow" she was at the back of her door attempting to close it.

"I forgot something" I said that made her confused,
And she went out enough for me to steal a kiss on her cheeks and quickly run to my room as I shout, "I LOVE YOU".

MORNING

I woke up feeling so happy. I can't believe on what happened yesterday.

"GOOD MORNING THAILAND!" I shouted at the balcony.

I wonder if Anne's awake. This is the first day that I will be courting her, OFFICIALLY!, I should flowers and chocolates before I go to her room. Let's do this courting Filipino style.

I bought the flowers and chocolates near the beach, luckily their was a flower shop and chocolate store near the hotel. I decided to order breakfast too and I plan to give it by myself together with these flowers and chocolates. I also wrote a little for something for Anntonia and placed it on top of the bouquet.
I knocked on her door and heard some noises.

"Who's there?, She asked with her raspy voice. Looks like she had just woken up.

"Michelle Marquez Dee, ma'am" I said to make it fun.

"Hii!, I'm still a mess" slightly opening the door.

"You're still beautiful. Can I come in?" She nodded and instantly went to the bathroom to get ready. As I was waiting for her I prepared the food that I bought so that all we need to do when she comes out is eat.

I heard the door opening and I instantly went to her smiling with the bouquet of flowers.

"For you"

" Aww..Dee, you don't have to"

"You deserve it" I walked forward and hugged her, and she just leaned her head because she couldn't hug me back with the flowers on her hands.

"Let's eat?" I said. She layed the flowers on the side of her bed and sat Infront of me to eat.

"Thank you for the meal, Dee" she said after we finished. I nodded and smiled at her as I was about to wash the the dishes.

"Dee I'll do it. Just sit and relax on the couch or watch a movie."

"No, it's oka-.."

"Nope. Don't argue, Dee. You already did a lot for me. Now step aside and I'll do it, okay." She cutting my sentence. I sighed as a sign of defeat and did what she told me.

Anntonia's POV

I was now washing the dishes because Dee and I just finished eating breakfast. We even argued on who's going to wash the dishes but Michelle was defeated by yours truly.
I felt warm hands wrapped around my waist that I almost dropped the plate.

"I thought you were watching a movie"

"Eh, I got bored" she said while hugging my back and leaning her cheeks on my shoulder.

"Let go so I could finish"

"Hm, nah" she said that just made me chuckle

"You're so clingy" I said and just continued what I'm doing.

I finished and she's still hugging me.

"Okay, what do you want to do?" I said and turned to face her. She was silent thinking of what we should do. She was so cute when she's like this, I couldn't help it and kissed her on the cheek. She was shocked and looked down to avoid me seeing her blush.

"Uhm.." she cleared her throat trying to hold her smile. "Let's have a walk on the beach?" I nodded.

At the Beach

We were walking around the beach. We were silent. I can't think of anything to ask her, so I asked her random things.

"So.. where did you graduate?"

"I am a graduate from La Salle and I also took classes on Harvard online" she answered.
"Look theirs a mini bar" she said and pointed me where it is. "Do you wanna go?" She asked

"Let's go I also want to drink a little" and I dragged he to the bar.

We already drank 5 shots and I know I have low tolerance and I'm getting tipsy so I stopped, while Michelle has high tolerance but stopped too. We spent our time talking about our personal lives and little bit of business. That way I was able to know her more. We lost track of time and realized it was already 2:30.We were about to go out if the bar as I bumped into someone that caused me to step back.

"Hey, be careful" Michelle told the man. "Are you okay?" She asked me.

"Yes, thank you" I looked at the guy and I was stunned to see who it was.

"Anntonia?!"

"Irfan?!"

We said in unison. I panicked and tried to pull Michelle out, but Irfan held my wrist.

"Ann..let's talk"

"No Irfan. Theirs nothing to talk about" and I pulled my wrist away from her and continued to walk. We reached the shore near the hotel. I let out a frustrated sigh as memories came back to me. I looked at Michelle who was still confused on what just happened.

" I- I'm sorry for what-.."

"Who was that guy?" She cut me

"He's j-just a friend of mine Michelle" I lied.

"A friend?...why did he affect you so much?"

"It's nothing Michelle I promise!"

She looked unconvinced. Awkward silence covered us.

"Let's go back?" She said and nodded.

"Take a rest Ann" she said with a weak smile and hugged but quickly stepped back and get in her room.

I knew she sensed something off. I felt bad for lying to her but it just hurts to look back at the past. It's not that I don't trust her, It's just that.. I'm... I'm not ready to talk about it yet.

You ready???
