Way Back Into Love

chapter three

MARGAUX

"ANDING, I'm going to  be late. Just lock the door I have the spare key." I ended the voicemail for my best friend.

I just arrived from my last project in Bangkok, Thailand. 12 hours and 15 minutes flight gives me strength to grab a drink.

Two days lang akong nawala dito sa France but I already miss the place. For five years I keep myself here. I made myself useful. I let myself to live in suffering. I'm used to it anyway.

Palabas na ako nang airport nang may bumangga sa akin. The man picking up his phone that was drop in the floor because of what happened.

My curse is ready for the man in front of me. Can't he see? I'm opening my mouth when the man turns around and look at me.

I gasp when the man face. He got a perfect square face shape, with thick eyebrow that was fixed. Those almond shaped brown eyes that can captivate any woman in this world, his shaven face brings the best of his perfect face and his perfect thin lips that is irresistible, together with is height that I approximately estimated into 6'2, this man in front of me is dazzling and ended a jaw-dropping gorgeous perfectly man.

I've encounter a lot of man in my job but no one can beat this sinner man here in front of me.

"I'm sorry. I was in a hurry that's why I didn't notice you." I saw his brown eyes become apologetic an who I am to curse him.

My soul comeback when he said those words. Let's add his baritone for his perfection.

I composed myself for realizing I'm already checking him out!

"It's okay." I said. Good thing his phone rang and it's my cue to walk out in that place. That was embarrassing.

I call for a taxi and go for my destination. I shake my head for what I've done inside the airport. Hindi ko alam kong bakit bigla ko nalang sinuri ang lalaking yun. I hope we won't see each other again.

"Hey can I sit beside this beautiful lady here?" I look at the man who said that. He smile at me, I just ignore him. I hope he can sense that I don't want him to interrupt me.

I'm here at the bar. I don't want to go home first, alam kong wala si Anding sa bahay dahil hindi pa nito sinasagot ang voicemail ko. Mabo-bored lang ako dun lalo na wala si Sydney and Carol. They both come home, in the Philippines. I wanted to go back also but I know no one wants me there except for my brother tho.

I didn't give my attention to the man beside me. Who invited him anyway? I'm about to sip my drinks when my phone vibrate. Its Andrew!

"Bonjour, mon ami!" I answer him

" Où es-tu bitch!" Where are you? he said. I laugh by hearing those. I really love my friend.

"Just jsut" walang gana kong sagot dito, gusto ko lang galitin to, hindi nya kasi sinagot ang tawag ko kahapon.

"Answer me Mar where the hell are you?" alam kong naiinis na ito.

"In a place where Hades is" it's really fun when making Anding angry. It makes me happy somehow.

"MARGAUX GAUNZON! ONE LAST QUESTION! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!" he shouted, buti nalang talaga nailayo ko na ang cellphone ko bago pa ito nakasigaw in full volume. I smile

"Easy, Andy, I'm in the bar"

"Then who's with you? Umiinom ka nanaman?" I love how Andrew said those words in tagalog.

"I'm with myself, don't worry I'll be home soon." I assured him that kasi pag di ko pasasabihing uuwi ako nang maayos di ako nito tatantanan.

Narinig ko naman itong bumuntong hininga "Ok fine but you have to go home early ok?"
