Chapter Nine

"You look gorgeous." Rye said adoringly.

She smiled shyly while a blush creeps on her cheeks.

She studied herself in the mirror, she is wearing a cream off shoulder formal dress that reached just above her knees. Her hair is on big curls and falling freely on her shoulders. She had a light make up on matched with a soft pink lips.

"You don't look bad yourself." She told him back smiling.

He is wearing a black armani suit that fits him well. He looks like a powerful business man, who would've thought that he actually is a supermodel.

"I know." He smirked proudly.

Marahan siyang napailing. Rye and his arrogant self. "Let's go." Pag-aaya na lang niya. She picked her clutch and take his offered hand.

They're on their way to her parent's company which is celebrating it's anniversary and Rye is her date.
Sa Crescent na siya nag-ayos dahil may make up artist at hair stylist naman siya sa kanyang team. At isa pa, alam na nila kung saang ayos siya kumportable.

"So..."

Napatingin siya kay Rye dahil sa medyo alanganin nitong boses. His eyes were focused on the road.

He glanced at her shortly. "You're parents, are they some kind of you know... strict or something?" He carefully asked.

Is she seeing what she's seeing? The ever so arrogant and full of himself Rye Vasquez is actually nervous? She smiled widely.

Nang hindi ito makakuha ng sagot mula sa kanya ay nilingon siya nitong muli. "What?"

Umiling siya habang malapad parin ang ngiti.

"You can stare at me all night. I know I'm that handsome and you can't help it." He shrugged.

She chuckled lightly. There goes the typical Rye. "Are you..." Parang nahiya siya biglang magtanong. She take a deep breath. "Nervous about meeting my parents?" She asked almost a whisper.

He gulped. "I am." He answered genuinely.

Napatingin siya dito. He stopped on a red light and meet her eyes. His eyes shows that nervousness he is talking about.

She smiled sweetly. "Don't worry. Mabait si mom and dad." She said assuringly.

He sighed. "I hoped madala sila sa kagwapuhan ko." He said confidently.

Naiiling na lang siyang ibinabalik ang pansin sa daan habang nagpatuloy ito sa pagdadrive.

"Here we go." Rye said after parking and sliding out of the car to open the door for her.

"Kilala na ba ako ng parents mo? I mean... nakwento mo na ba ako sa kanila?" He asked as they enter the hall.

Marahan siyang tumango. "I told them I'm bringing a date named Rye Vasquez."

"And?"

She look at him and smiled sweetly. "They're excited to meet you. Uhm..." Napayuko siya. "Because it's my first time to bring a date." Nahihiya niyang saad.

Pagtingin niya sa binata ay nakangiti na ito ng malapad. Like he's so proud of what he've heard.

"So I need to set a high standard then." He said arrogantly.

Unlike sa mga event sa showbusiness, iisa lang ang photographer na madadaanan nila bago makapasok sa main hall kung saan ginaganap ang party. Ayaw kasi ng parents niya sa madaming media kaya naghahire lang sila ng gagawa ng documentation na buong party.
