Twisted Story of My Life

Chapter Twelve

I could not take my eyes off him as he is driving me back to Makati. He is so handsome. And I so love him. Yes, I am soon going back to the real world. Christmas and New Year flew by so fast. Now it is 2009! He tightened his grip on my hand. Perhaps he noticed that I was in deep thoughts again. I looked at him and I just smiled.

"What are you thinking of, soon to be Mrs. Zeke Villanueva?" He teased pulling me closer to him then he gave me a peck on the cheek.

I blushed. I felt butterflies in my stomach. I am excited and scared at the same time. Whew!

"I am just so happy, love."

"Could we get married tomorrow?" He asked with a straight face.

I wonder if he is serious. I laughed. "You wish!" I teased.

He just laughed and said, "What did you do to me? I love you so much!"

We discussed a bit about our wedding plans.

"We will definitely get married in Baguio," Zeke said.

"Or maybe in Manila?" I pitched.

He shook his head. "Come on; aside from being our home town... that is where we met, we became boyfriend-girlfriend, we broke up, we got back... you see."

I smiled. And I thought I was the one who is sentimental. "I know. I was only trying to contradict you."

"June?"

"December!"

"Red wine and gold?"

"Royal blue and silver."

"Let us have a grand wedding. About 500 guests. Family, relatives, friends, business partners, co-workers... if only I could invite the whole world to witness our happiest moment, I would." He said smiling.

"But I want an intimate wedding. Family, close relatives and close friends only. I think it is more special then," I said frowning.

"But, I am just too proud to be your groom."

"Hmm..." I blushed again.

"See, I told you we should get married tomorrow. Or how about when we pass by a church I will stop and let us get married right then and there? You might change your mind over time. Besides we have contradicting ideas so it better be just spontaneous." He said looking at me and raising his eyebrows.

I laughed. "Crazy!"

Since we were talking and talking we did not realize that we are now in Makati. Oh the sorrow of parting yet again. I am quite sad really. What a way to start my year. Good bye already? Well, I am just getting emotional. We spent so many happy moments during my short vacation and now we are faced in this situation again. Tomorrow when we wake up he would leave again. Sigh...

"Congratulations!" Alyssa greeted as she welcomed us in the condo.

"Thanks," Zeke said hugging her.

"Will catch you two tomorrow morning. Tom is waiting for me," Alyssa said excusing herself.

We just smiled and nodded.

Zeke and I took a nap. When we woke up we decided to have dinner then see a movie.

As we were walking towards the cinema, I bumped into someone that caused my hand bag to fall. As I was picking it up the guy who bumped into me also bent down to pick it up. Before I knew it I was staring straight to a set of beautiful brown eyes.

Zeke coughed and pulled me up. I woke from the spell between me and that guy. You might have guessed it right; Mr. Brusque indeed. He smiled and said, "Sorry." Then he turned and walked away. Wow... he knows how to smile and apologize even. Remember my Body Shop dream? This was it. Dreams do come true! But my real dream is right here with me. So I better stop being disoriented.

Zeke was looking at me. "What?" I asked acting irritated.

"What was that all about?"

"Nothing. He looks familiar. I thought I know him," I said. Well, Mr. Brusque was a one-time dream guy. Okay, maybe I thought about him twice or even thrice like how a high school girl would dream of her crush. But hey, I won't let that fantasy ruin my plan of a life time with my one true love.

I linked my arm to his as we entered the cinema.

"For a minute there, I thought I was jealous," Zeke whispered to my ear. That almost made my heart jump out of my chest. Can anyone be more loveable than my baby?
