Dusk Till Dawn: Black Knight (Book 2)

Chapter 18

(Althea)

Ready for tonight?

A message sent for Jade. I'm nervous. May date ako kay Jade. Obviously, a secret date because of her father. And, it's our first I guest? I mean first ever date night. Kasi kapag nag dadate kami, day lang. At kung gabi namin may kasama kaming iba and with other friends. It was like bonding with my sisters and her friend and her brother Paul.

Yeah, I'm definitely ready and excited, Love. 🥰

I smiled at her text. It's 5:30 pm and I need to get ready. Matagal pa naman akong mag bihis.

Bago ako mag decide na yayain sya mag date, I took a proper manner to tell this idea of mime to Paul.

(Flashback)

I message Paul na magkita kami sa isang restaurant ngayong 7 ng gabi at nag agree naman sya.

So ngayon nadito na ako at nakita ko na yung kotse ni Paul, bumababa na sya.

"Hi" he greeted me after nya maupo. I nodded for response and smile at him.

"Ano bang meron? Bakit mo ko gustong makausap?" Tanong nya agad.

"Why don't you have a drink muna Paul." I chuckles. Natawa din sya bago kami tumawag ng waiter.

This, I mean, this whole proper manner, it took a day bago ako makapag concentrate sabihin sa kanya. Why? It was our Dad's idea. He asked if any of Sally and Paul knows about me and Jade. I answered him yes. Perooo, he asked if they know na okay na kami ni Jade, which I answered him no.

He took me inside his office and adviced me to take a proper manner na magsabi kahit kay Paul na ilalabas ko si Jade. He knows about the incoming danger, yet he said, be happy.

The waiter came for Paul's food. I could he is hungry. May nangyari na naman siguro sa bahay nila.

"Anyway, while I'm eating Ms. Guevarra" he chuckles. "Anong meron at bakit mo ko pinapunta dito?" Natatawa nya pang tanong while cutting the steak.

"Well..." I started. "Ipagpapaalam ko sana si Jade. We are going on a date" I stated.
Tumigil sya sa pag huwa ng steak and turn his head to stare at me. Kinurap kurap nya pa mga mata nya.

"Akala ko ba cool off kayo?"

"About that..." I doubtly said. "Okay na kami ni Jade" I smiled. "I mean last 5 days ago or maybe a week na. Okay na kami ni Jade. Mahirap, so near yet so far" Mahina kong sabi.

"Why she didn't tell me?" He murmured. Nag murmured ka pa rinig ko naman. Jokes!

"She didn't tell you...I'm the cause of that. It was my idea not to tell anyone na okay kami. A lot of explaining. And we want privacy muna" sabi ko.

He nods. "I agree. Mas mahirap yung ang daming nakikisawsaw sa relationship nyo or nakakaalam. My Dad, you know, kapag nalaman nya ang tungkol dyan, alam mo na ang mangyayari" he stated which is nag agree ako sa mga sinasabi nya.

"I know what you mean. Hindi ko din naman kaya na masaktan si Jade. I mean, yes nag cool off kami. I thought it's the best way to do to avoid na mahalata kami ni Mr. Tanchingco. Since he investigates Mark Anthony." I sigh. I saw how he widened his eyes.

"You knew about that?"

I nod. "My dad also owns a Task Force Agency. And your father didn't know na kami ang may-ari ng Lawin TFA. Dun sya kumuha ng investigators to investigate si M.A" I stated.
