Chasing The Wild (Del Galiego Series #2 || ON-HOLD)

CHAPTER 11: CAKE

Have you ever felt that fluttering sensation in your stomach? The kind that makes your heart race and your palms sweat? That's how I feel when I think about last night.

It's like being on a rollercoaster, with twists and turns that leave you breathless and exhilarated. It's the warmth that spreads through your chest when you see that special someone, the way your cheeks flush and your words stumble.

My mind is somewhere else entirely. I keep replaying last night in my head, unable to believe that Kleya actually asked me out on a date. It's like a dream come true. I sip my coffee, I can feel the weight of people's stares, but I don't care. I'm too lost in my thoughts to pay them any mind. It's like the world around me has faded into the background. Up until now hindi parin ako makapaniwala. Gosh!

I am Celestia Ashianna Beldua, now dating the prettiest Del Galiego! KATLEYA ALESHA DEL GALIEGO.

OH GOD! SO PERFECT!

I just keep sipping my coffee, ignoring the stares, and basking in the glow of this incredible feeling. After all, who cares what anyone else thinks when you're in love?

"Hey,"

I'm lost in thought, thinking about Kleya, when suddenly I hear someone calling me. But I ignored it. I was busy daydreaming about soon to be my girlfriend.

"Bitch! what the fuck that stare?!"

but then the voice calls out again, more insistently this time. Narindi ako sa boses niya kaya bumalik ako sa realidad. I look up and see Maurice, standing across from me with a serious expression on his face. Hindi ma drawing ang mukha ngayon habang pinagmamasdan ako. Her hair is pulled back in a loose ponytail, strands of dark hair framing her face in a way. Her presence commanding attention despite her casual attire. Her black top is simple yet sophisticated, with a flattering neckline that accentuates her collarbones. Paired with it are high-waisted black trousers that hug her curves in all the right places. I think galing siya sa kung saan? may gala ata 'to.

"H-hey, nandito ka na pala." sabi ko nang makaupo siya sa harap ko.

I feel a pang of guilt as I remember that I called Maurice to meet me here. She's looking at me strangely, probably wondering why I seemed to be ignoring her. Clearing my throat, I give her an apologetic smile. She just rolled her eyes on me pagkatapos ay tumingin sa relo niya. Para bang importante ang oras niya.

"Why did you call me? I cancelled my meeting for this, siguraduhin mo importante 'yan."

I nodded and smiled at her widely. With a shaky hand, I reach across the table and gently grasp hers.

"It's...f*cking important..." I mumbled.

Kumunot ang noo niya. "What?"

"Inaya niya ako mag date kami! we're now dating Maurice!!" halos isigaw ko na 'yon sakanya sa sobrang saya.

A rush of emotions washes over me as I say the words out loud, and I can't help but feel a wide grin spreading across my face. It's like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders, and I'm bursting with happiness.

But instead of sharing in my happiness, Maurice's expression remains unchanged. There's a flicker of annoyance in her eyes as she pulls her hand away from mine, and my heart sinks as she stands up abruptly.
