Made In New York (Monterèal Series #1 Book 1 )

Chapter 48

The Announcement

Dear Ms. Sapphira Villamoral
You are cordially invited to a special event. Your presence is highly appreciated.
- The Monterèals'

It's a red invitation with gold linings.
I would be very glad na pumunta sa event na yun. I am prepped to see what's coming. Andoon si Theo, I'm sure hindi nila ako mahahawakan. Way to go Hillary and Chanel.

Hindi na ako lumabas ng condo unit ko. I'm getting ready for this announcement and the event. I'll surely remember this night. This isn't just an event, it is war.

I was just staring at the view of the city of New York nang narinig ko ang ringtone ng phone ko.

Hera:
Are you going sa event mamaya? Strangely, they invited me and the other models of Verdana as well.

Ako:
This is just a backfire. May ginawa si Hillary at Chanel and they want us to see or hear it ourself kaya ayun, ininvite tayong dalawa. Let's be the eye catching bitches later.

I know they are up to something, hindi ako tanga para hindi malaman na may gagawin sila mamaya.

Nasa photoshoot si Hera ngayon kaya nag-iisa ako sa unit namin. Napatingin ako sa pinto nang may biglang nagdoorbell. Pumunta ako sa intercom at tinignan kung sino.

It's my man, Theo.

Agad ko siyang pinagbuksan ng pinto, Niyakap ko siya at hinalikan sa labi.

" Naparito ka? " tanong ko

He handed me the box of Maison Le Fleurs red roses at ngumiti.

" Namimiss kita and I have a proposal for you " he dreamily said.

Kumunot ang noo ko, proposal really? The last time na nasa Bahamas kami pinaasa niya lang ako.

" Andito ba si Hera? " tanong niya.

Umiling ako " Out for photoshoot pero mamaya uuwi din siya "

" Okay. Did they send you the invitation? Kahit ako nabigla as well as my cousins but I think Mom planned this event " aniya.

I shrugged " Binigyan din nila si Hera, strange right? But we'll see " sagot ko.

Hinila niya ako sakanya dahilan para mapaupo ako sakanya. Hinagkan niya ang baywang ko at nilagay ang kanyang baba sa leeg ko.

" Tonight, I want you to stay close to me. I won't let you out of my sight "

Tumango ako. Of course Theo, I'll stay close to you lalo na't kailangan ko ulit magmukhang kawawa sa harap mo.

" With the things happened to you, I want you to move in with me " aniya.

Napatingin ako sakanya. The last time I moved in with you ay iniwan mo rin ako mag-isa.

" Theo? "

" Please, Sapphira. Hindi na ako makatulog knowing that you're unsafe " pakiusap niya.

Natawa ako ng bahagya " We're just few blocks away "

Hinigpitan niya pa lalo ang pagkakayakap niya saakin.
