CHAPTER 13

Reeve drove in silence.

Simula nung encounter with Ryan sa restaurant, di pa din niya ako kinakausap. He paid the bill with a frown, exited the restaurant still frowning and then led me to his car. Now, while we're inside this rented Porsche Cayenne, nakasimangot pa din.

Kanina ang saya niya lang tapos ngayon ganito.

Parang bipolar lang eh.

So di ko na lang din siya pinansin at tumingin na lang sa labas ng bintana. Napakadaming sights na makikita dito sa Las Vegas. At ngayon, dala ko na yung digicam ko para mas matino yung pics na mapopost ko sa blog ko.

Reeve slowed down and eased the car into a parking space. I looked out the window and saw that we were in the Bellagio. Nanlaki mata ko. This was one of the best hotels here in Vegas. Plus, andito din yung isa sa mga pinakamalaki at pinakasosyal na shopping malls.

Napalunok ako. Dala ko yung credit card ko pero would that be enough? Eh mga Prada, Gucci, Chanel, Hermes at kung ano-ano pa! Eto yung mga store na tipong kapag bumili ka ng isang bag, ang presyo ay parang nakabili ka na din ng isang sasakyan.

Naku po. Wag sana akong sumpungin ng shopaholic tendencies ko.

Reeve shut off the engine and exited his car. Bubuksan ko na din sana yung pinto ko pero ambilis niya. He was already there and opening the door for me. And yes, nakasimangot pa din siya.

"Are you okay?" tanong ko. His reply was only a grunt. Take a hint Andreia, hindi siya okay. Pero bakit? May war ba sila ni Ryan or something? Did they know each other before?

I grabbed Reeve's arm and held onto it. "Reeve. Clearly, something is wrong. Tell me."

"Wala," sagot niya. Natawa nanaman ako. This time, he just glared at me at natahimik na lang ako. Hay, buhay.

"Did you know Ryan before?" tanong ko. Nung narining niya yung pangalan ni Ryan, lalo lang siyang sumimangot. Okay, noted. Ryan isn't a topic for conversation.

"No."

"Did he say something that offended you?"

"His presence offends me," he mumbled. Sobrang hina kaya hindi ako sure kung tama ba yung narinig ko.

"What?"

"I said I don't like him. Clearly, he likes you. And I'm good at reading people. He'll be someone worse than Mike," sagot niya.

Hay, talaga nga naman! "Reeve. I think you're overthinking. I just met him last night! And I don't think he's interested in me. I'm not even interested in him."

Nung sinabi ko yun, naramdaman ko siyang nagrelax. Medyo nabawasan din yung simangot niya.

"You look more handsome when you're not scowling, you know," I teased. He smiled and wrapped his hand around mine. Sobrang mas malaki yung kamay niya. Parang ang dami din niyang kalyo. Saan naman kaya yun galing? Eh mayaman si Reeve. He works behind a desk.

Hmm. Maybe he lifts weights at the gym? At galing dun yung mga kalyo sa daliri niya?

"Then we make a great pair. I'm the hottest guy here and you're the prettiest girl."
