ZWCS#6: Despacito

Three

"So tuloy ang date ninyo?"

Cassidy stopped organizing the posters they will be posting for an event and turned to Trinity who spoke.

"Oo. Wala naman ako choice. Our parents are expecting it." saad niya at ipinagpatuloy ang ginagawa.

"Saan kayo pupunta?"

She shrugged and continued her work.

"May alam ako na masarap na restaurant. Spanish restaurant to be exact, baka magustuhan ninyo." dagdag pa ni Trinity sakanya.

She heaved a sigh and turned to her friend. "Why are you so excited? This is why I hate telling people about me and Nikolas."

Trinity laughed. Bilib din siya sa kaibigan niya eh. Kahit ano ang gawin nito parang ang elegante tignan. Maski pagtawa ay kahahangaan mo rito.

"But you keep on telling us. C'mon, Cassie. We all know you need someone to talk to. Huwag mo sarilinin."

She sighed again. Tama ito. She's an only child. Hindi rin naman siya close sa mga pinsan niya in both sides since she's very distant as well. Her sorority mates are the only ones that she would really call her sisters. Hirap din naman siya mag-open sa parents niya, not that they have some problems, but it's just so awkward to open up something to them lalo pa't involve si Nikolas.

"I just don't get him." pagod na saad niya.

Sila lang ang naiwan ni Trinity sa HQ ng ZWC dahil may klase o umalis ang iba pa kaya nakwento niya rito iyong magiging date nila ni Nikolas.

"Why?" asked Trinity.

She combed her hair using her fingers. "Minsan ang cold niya. Like, hindi niya ako papansinin as if na hindi niya ako kilala kapag nakakasalubong kami, then minsan I feel like he likes me, then minsan naman he's just annoying as fuck. He's just so confusing."

Trinity smiled. "Ikaw rin naman, confusing. Sabi mo wala ka ng feelings kay Nikolas. Then why are you so bothered by his actions towards you?"

Natigilan siya sa sinabi ni Trinity. Bakit nga ba? Bawal na ba siya mangamba sa mga ipinapakita sakanya ni Nikolas kahit pa na sinabi niya na wala na siyang pakealam?

She was tongue-tied. Wala siyang masabi. Trinity can really make people speachless. Not just because of her looks and achievements, but because of how she fire her words. Sagad sa buto dahil sa pagkakatama ng mga sinabi nito.

Napansin siguro nito na natahimik siya kaya naman ay hinawakan siya nito sa braso. "I think you need to sort out your feelings for him." She shrugged after. "I don't know. It's just a suggestion. It is always up to you naman kung ano ang gusto mong gawin sa kung ano man meron sainyo ni Nikolas."

Pagsapit ng hapon ay umuwi siya sa bahay nila upang maghanda sa gagawing date nila ni Nikolas. Usapan nila kahapon ay susunduin siya nito sa bahay nila ng alas sais ng gabi. Alas kwatro palang ng hapon kaya marami pa naman siyang oras.

Liningon niya ang bintana niya na tanaw ang bintana ni Nikolas sa kwarto nito. Bukas ang kurtina at kita niyang wala pa ang lalaki. Isinara niya ang kurtina niya at naisipang maligo muna.

She was just wrapped in a towel when she laid all of her chosen clothes on her bed. She bit her fingernail while choosing what she'll wear. This is a tough choice. Kinuha niya ang isang puting dress at itinapat sa katawan niya at tinignan sa salamin tapos ay ang black and white na romper naman ang sinipat niya.

Siguro inabot siya ng twenty minutes kakapili ng isusuot bago magsettle sa isang white and blue halter top, maong skirt and her white sandals. She also styled her hair in a messy bun and wore a blue turban then fixed her bangs to complete her look.
