In love with you

Chapter 8

ERICA's POV

I have been examining myself at the mirror but I still don't feel comfortable. I don't know if my look is what makes feel uncomfortable or the thought of me going out on a date for the first time. I can't believe this. Finally, someone's gonna make me feel like a lady now.

"Erica, ano. Malelate ka naku po. Kanina ka pa pabalik-balik dyan sa salamin." Si Shery, isa sa pinakamagaling na nagmemake-up dito sa salon nina momshie.

"E kasi parang may kulang eh" I repeatedly glanced over my reflection. I am currently wearing a tight sleeveless dress with a V-neckline that emphasizes my curves. I feel so new about how I look. Never had I went outside with this kind of look and without using my eye glasses. Well aside from the mall where I met Jaz.

"Anak, you're all good na. Maniwala ka samin ni shery. Promise. You're absolutely beautiful."

Si Lush. Ang isa pang beki nag-ayos ng buhok ko into a bun. I know I look great. I've never looked this great. But.... I don't know. Something's wrong.

"Oh, eto na pala date mo eh." I turned to see who's coming in when I heard shery say that. Baka nandito na sya. OMG! hindi pa ako ready.

"Date who?" but I got a little bit disappointed when I saw the last person I wanted to see in this state.

"Anson? Why are you here?" I asked but he seems taken off of my look and started examining me from head to foot that made me even more uncomfortable. I saw the other people inside the salon giggling on us like we're some sort of, lovers?

Oh, com'on!

"Hey! do I look great? you think Jaz would like it?" I asked out of the blue. Pero biglang kumunoy yung noo nya.

"Where the hell are you going?" Tatay lang?

"Huh? didn't I tell you I'm going out on a date today with Jaz?" I was literally rolling my eyes, 360 degrees.

"Oh, I forgot. I need a massage please." He didn't even mind my question and went straight to the couch and started reading the magazines.

Paupo palang sya ng dumating si Papsi at nabigla din sa suot ko. "Anak! ikaw ba yan?"

Isa pa 'to si Papsi.

"Anak, sigurado ka ba sa damit mo? Baka magkaapo na kami nyan agad ni Momshie"

"PAPSI!!!" Sabay kaming napasigaw ni Ans. And he even got the magazine on his hands thrown somewhere. He was like -what the h3ll?

"Makareact naman 'tong si Anson. Ikaw ba nagluwal? Tumabi ka dyan at magpapamasahe din ako." They shared the couch and magazine like the're father and son. Makaalis na nga.

"Oy Erica. Curfew hour is 10PM" 

Seriously?

"Papsi. First time date 'to. Baka naman may exemption wala naman akong pasok bukas sa trabaho." 10PM? Traffic kaya.

"Kung ayaw mo, papasamahan kita kay Anson. Mamili ka"

"No!" I immediately replied. Hindi pwede, hindi ako papayag. This is my start of having my own life and this time, NO ANS!
