Lost and Found

Chapter 18 First Date

The elevator hummed, its ascent mirroring the rising excitement in my chest. Each floor we passed felt like a step closer to Ria, closer to the impossible dream I'd dared to conjure.

I’d planned this night very well, meticulously crafting every detail, hoping to break through the icy barrier that surrounded her.

The woman who instilled fear in the hearts of every student with her sharp wit and unforgiving gaze, was about to experience a side of me she’d never seen.

I wasn't just her student, the one who diligently absorbed her lectures and strived for her approval. Tonight, I was Celes, the woman who saw beyond the professional facade, who recognized the flicker of vulnerability beneath her icy exterior.

The elevator doors slid open, revealing the opulent hallway of her penthouse. The air was thick with the scent of expensive perfume and the faint hum of classical music. My heart hammered against my ribs, a frantic drumbeat against the quiet luxury that surrounded me.

“Miss Ria?” I ventured, my voice a whisper against the plush carpet.

A moment passed, the silence stretching into an eternity. Then, she emerged from the shadows, her presence filling the space like a sudden storm.

The moment I saw her I was mesmerized by her beauty, Nararamdaman ko ang mabilis na pagtibok ng puso ko. This woman have the ability to make people stunned

She was breathtaking. A pink fitted dress, the color of a blooming rose, clung to her curves, accentuating her hourglass figure. Her dark hair, usually pulled back in a severe bun, cascaded down her shoulders in loose waves, framing her face like a halo of night. And her eyes, those captivating pools of sapphire, held a depth that both intrigued and intimidated me.

“Celes,” she acknowledged, her voice a low, melodious rumble. A hint of surprise flickered in her gaze, a fleeting emotion that vanished as quickly as it appeared.

My breath hitched in my throat. She was breathtakingly beautiful.

“You look different,” I stammered, my voice barely a whisper.

She raised an eyebrow, her lips curving into a slight smile. “Different how?”

“You,. you look stunning,” I blurted out, my cheeks burning with embarrassment.

She chuckled, a low, throaty sound that sent shivers down my spine. “Thank you" Aniya and offer my hand to guide her, ang ganda niya sobra

Walang araw na hindi siya maganda, kahit na bagong gising nakakabighani parin ang ganda niya.

She was always so blunt, so direct, but her words held a subtle warmth that made my stomach flutter. I couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement, a thrill that I hadn’t expected.

“Let’s go,” she said, her voice cool and collected.

I led her to my car, my hands trembling as I opened the door for her. She slid into the passenger seat, her dress a splash of color against the dark leather interior. I felt a strange sense of pride, a sense of accomplishment, as I watched her settle in.

A silence filled inside the car as I drove going to the place where I reserved for us, ngayon ko lang ito pinaghandaan and I rented the whole place para sa aming dalawa

While driving I keep on glancing to her halos pabalik balik lang ang tingin ko sa kanya at sa daan, pano banaman kase sobrang ganda nitong babaeng nasa tabi ko, hindi ko lubos akalain na papasok ako sa isang relasyon and devoted my self as her mistress, but nevermind of that as long as we both happy

"Eyes on the road" Malamig na turan niya, mahagya akong napalunok ng biglang bumaba ang tingin ko sa maputing hita nito fck ang manyak ng mata ko hindi ako, ibinaling ko nalang ulit ang tingin sa daan para safe kami makarating sa pupuntahan

“Where are we going?” she asked, her voice devoid of any emotion.

“It’s a surprise,” I said, my heart pounding in my chest. “But I promise, you’ll like it.”
