Book 1: Unchanged Hearts

XVI

Nagising ako ng maaga dahil susunduin daw ako ni Matthew kaya nag ayos ako ng mabuti para naman fresh sa paningin niya

I put a darker red shade of lipstick to my lips okay na siguro to

Lumabas ako ng kuwarto and as I was expectating he brought a white bouquet of roses and gaved it to me

"why did you put make up on your face?"

Kunot noo ko siyang tinignan bakit anung meron sa mukha ko kung may make up?

Nilapit niya ang mukha niya at bumulong

"because I'm selfish ayokong may makakita na ibang tao sa nakikita ko sayo ngayon you're way to beautiful Evangeline "

Kinurot ko yung pisngi niya

"selfish!"

Nauna na akong lumabas sumunod naman siyang lumabas habang tumatawa

Nang makarating kami sa opisina hindi na naging bago sakin ang tingin ng iba saamin

"I have a meeting later so we might not eat lunch together "

"it's ok nandiyan naman si Brittany "

"do you want me to cancel it?"

Pinilig ko ang ulo ko

"anu kaba! Don't cancel it silly we can eat dinner later if you're not busy"

"of course I will not be busy I'll find time just for you "

Niyakap niya ako bago ako pumasok sa loob ng opisina ko

Naka ngiti akong gumagawa ng trabaho ko I didn't know that a Matthew Nicholas Thompson will definitely fall in love with a Maria Evangeline Ortiz

"alam mo kung hindi mo lang talaga boyfriend si Matthew mag tatampo na talaga ako!"

"haha bakit naman? "

"lagi nalang siya ang kasama mo mag lunch he's like a possessive boyfriend to you Eve pero swerte mo parin kasi kahit na anong lapit ng impakta he will still choose you "

" oo naman! He will always choose me over that woman"

Bumaba kami ng office at pumunta sa isang restaurant papasok na sana kami kaya lang nag iba ang taste ko pakiramdam ko parang may restaurant akong gustong puntahan kaya doon ko siya inaya kahit medyo malayo sa office nag punta parin kami

Nang makarating kami sa restaurant nag hanap kami ng vacant seat but surprisingly I didn't know that Matthew and Jewel is there too

seeing them too happy makes me wanna break Matthews face

Hinawakan ako ni Brittany sa kamay telling me to go outside but I insisted.

I repeat hindi ako kagaya ng ibang babae na tatakbo nalang at mag kukunwaring hindi na kita

I love Matthew at alam ko na ganun din ang nararamdaman ni Jewel sakanya I can see it right through her eyes the way how she looks at Matthew but damn it hurts!

Umupo ako malapit sa kanila sinigurado ko munang hindi nila ako mapapansin dito

" Come on tell me what is it I have a meeting"

" but you still came here while you're in the middle of your meeting "

" because you told me that you are with  Evangeline that's why I came"

Napangiti ako ng palihim

" anyway Mom and Dad is going to visit here and they are excited to see you!"

" I have a lot of things to do Jewel I'm busy"

" busy with your ugly girlfriend "

" don't you dare call my girlfriend Ugly"

"hell I care honestly why did you chose her instead of me? Maraming aayaw sa inyo "

Suminghap si Matthew at tumayo

"Even if the whole world is against my girl, I would stand behind her back and pass her bullets"
