The Faithful Encounter (Completed)

Chapter 8

EUAN's POV

"Nah, there is just something that comes to my mind but I will tell you once I've figure it out. It is a bit hard to explain." 

"Like?" 

"YOU."

I didn't know what hit me when I says those words. What if she was offended. I didn't mean to say that she is hard to explain or hard to figure out. It was because i was curious about her. She is paralyzing my analytical expertise. She immediately got off once we arrived in the hotel. She didn't even look back to me. AGAIN>>> (>_<)

"Amanda, wait. I am sorry if i offended you but believe me that's not what I meant." 

"It's okay. Don't worry. I am not offended." She says. ('_') 

"P-pwede hayaan mo akong makabawi ng konti sayo. How about a coffee on the ground floor?" Maybe she'll decline me again. I haven't done anything good around her. Darn! It wasn't like me to be rendered dysfunctional in front of a girl and she is clearly driving me insane. I was just thinking na once nalaman ko ang reason nya ng pagpapanggap mawawala din ang kagustuhan ko makilala sya.

"I think I need to decline. I still have to dig into the proposals for a bid.."

My heart sink upon hearing this. Maybe I can push my luck.

"There is a great coffee shop outside the hotel, 200 meters away from here. It would be romantic to walk and drink a coffee in a cold night. You have to experience night in London." 

"Maybe next time. I am not fascinated in walking while drinking coffee in a cold night. Thank you for the offer. Goodnight Mr. Euan"

Her door was shut for 10 minutes but I haven't move a single step from my spot. Ito ang unang pagkakataon na tinanggihan ako ng isang babae sa isang paanyaya pero sa halip na madisappoint mas lalo pa akong na-curious sa rason ng pag iwas nya. Sa reaction nito mukhang hindi nga kami nagkaroon ng relasyon. Pero ano ang dahilan at bakit ganoon nalang ang galit nya sa akin. Wala akong natatandaan na naagrabyadong tao lalong lalo na't babae. Pero hinding hindi ako titigil hangga't hindi ako nakakabawi sa kahit anong atrasong nagawa ko. I want to know her better. I was being pulled closer to her like a magnet pulling a steel. And I can't stop myself from thinking about her the moment I saw her in the party.

As I wake up the next morning all I can think of is how to make her like me. Sira ulo na nga yata ako dahil gusto kong magpaimpress sa isang babaeng hindi ko nililigawan. I grab the phone and dialed her room number. I pray that she isn't in the bad mood.

"Hello?" 

"H-hi Amanda. Good morning! Did I wake you up?" 

"Euan? It's only 6:17am. Is there an emergency?" 

"Nope, I just want to hear your voice upon waking up." I had a big grin on my face. Mukha akong tanga dahil hindi naman niya makikita ang tamis ng ngiti ko.  

"Nasaniban ka ba ng masamang espirito? Kaaga-aga mong nababaliw." 

"Mababaliw nga ako kung sasabihin mong hindi ako pwedeng sumabay sa pagkain mo ng almusal." 

"I'm so sorry. Hindi naman sa ayaw kitang makasabay pero magpaparoom service lang ako ng almusal. Late na kasi ako nakatulog kagabi and I'm not in the mood to go down to grab food. Besides, 1pm pa naman ung meeting natin dba?" 

"Yeah.... so how do you like bacon & egg? Milk or orange juice?" 

"Waiter kana pala ngayon?" 

"I'm conducting a survey." 

"Wala yata akong nababalitaan na pumasok kayo sa food industry."
