The Past or The Present?

Chapter 33

Tavin guide me across the table and pull a chair, one of his sweet gesture that I really appreciate. I sat down and watched him to sit. I must say Tavin is a good guy, Nababahala na ako sa ginagawa namin I know he deserved to be happy and I'm stopping him.

He cleared his throat and that made me looked at him and smiled.

"So... What are you thinking mi amour?" He looked at me.

*Tugs* *Tugs*
Wait... did I just heard my heartbeat? No way...

Tavin waved his hand while I put my right hand on my left chest.

"Are you alright? What are you feeling? Fatima? Answer me." With a worried face he reach for my left hand and squeeze it.

"Fatima talk to me!" I slowly turn my head from left to right and finally find my voice "I'm a-alright Tavin, sorry... Come on let's eat."

"If you're not feeling well just tell me. We can call for food delivery."

"I'm really okay Tavin. It's better if you inhale some polluted air." Then I laugh, he just smiled at me, still confused with what I felt earlier I just smiled at him.

We're eating our dessert when Tavin asked me something.

"So, we will be having our lunch tomorrow with your first love?" He then eat a spoon of his banana split.

I nodded at him and eat my strawberry a la mode.

"Should I act sweet to you? Like super clingy? Or should I act like what I did in front of your parents?"

"You should act normal, just yourself that's all... Knowing Chanz he will watched your movement." he nodded and smiled.

"Tavin..."

"Hmm?" Kailan ko bang itanong to? Kinakabahan ako sa magiging sagot nya...

"Are you happy?" Looking intently to his eyes.

"Of course, I am happy cause I'm with you." And he wink at me.

*Tugs* *Tugs*
There it is again... This can't be right?

We just finish our dinner and pay our bill. While walking towards our car I saw a familiar man walking towards our direction with a child on his arms. He's smiling and I can tell that he's happy so happy. The woman beside him looked at us with a wide eyes.

I can feel the pounding in my chest... Of all time why now?? You really like to play with me destiny? We are just inches away. I tried to smile at them.

"Fatima... Hi... Oh my god long time no see. How are you?" She then kiss me cheek to cheek.

I can see Vinn on my peripheral vision. I tried to smile at Charlotte and I hope it worked.

"Who is he?" Charlotte asked me referring to the man standing next to me.

"O- ahm he's Tavin." I'm stammering, I just felt Tavin's hand and squeeze my right hand.

"I'm Fatima's boyfriend, and you are?"

"I'm Charlotte" Tavin grab her hand and kiss the back of her palm.

"What a gentleman you are." Charlotte commented then I felt Tavin's arms across my shoulder.

"Oh ahm this is Vinn and Lorenz" I looked at him and I just saw him smile.

"Hi, I'm Vinn" he reach for Tavin's hand and shake it.

"Hello Fatima" then he kiss me on my cheeks, it sent shivers on my skin. For two years I'm still longing for his touch... How pathetic. I nod at him and look at the child on his arms.

"Lorenz greet your Tita Fatima." The child just look at me and wave his hand with a smile on his face. I must admit he's a cutie patootie.

"Fatima we better go, there's someone waiting for us inside." We bid goodbye to them and walked towards our car.

Pagkasakay ko sa loob doon ko lang naramdaman ang normal na paghinga ko.

"So... Mind to tell me who they are? Well that guy seems familiar." I nod at him.

"Yes you saw him when we were in Paris... The one who talked to me a-an"

"The man who broke you into pieces?" He then look at me with sadness in his eyes.

"Ye-yes" he grab my hand and squeeze it and it made me feel secure at some point, I just smiled at him. He put my hand on his lips and kiss my knuckles.

"I will assure you that I will mend that broken heart of yours."

*Tugs* *Tugs*

That feeling... Is this really possible? Pero ano yung naging reaction ng katawan ko sa ginawa sa akin ni Vinn kanina??? I'm confused... Did I really moved on? And if I did it is because of this man beside me? Oh my don't make it complicated.
