The Heiress: Love or Vengeance?

15 - Maine

"So, did you have a great night kids?"

Mr. Dela Vega asked as we are heading out after the party.

"A lot Sir." Rj answered

"How about you young lady?"

"I had fun Sir. And i've met a lot of people too."

"Good to know and i'm hoping to see you in other gatherings like this. You should start attending parties like these as the future Mrs. Faulkerson."

Rj looked at me and smiled.

"Mr Dela Vega is right sweetheart, you should learn about all of these." Sabi naman ng loko sabay hawak sa bewang ko palapit sa kanya

"Should i? Hmm, i can start as early as possible if you want to, Honey." I answered him with a smile.

"What a beautiful couple." Mrs. Dela Vega said, "I can help you about all of these Ija, just ask Rj to call me if you need help."

"I will po. Thanks for tonight."

Nagbeso nalang kami at lumabas na ng venue. Rj opened the car's door for me and let me settle down first before going to the driver's seat.

"You ok?" Tanong naman nya sakin, napatingin lang ako sa kanya.

"Why would i not be?"

"You're right, what would you not be..." ulit naman nya ng sinabi ko.

"Wanna go grab some coffee first before going home?"

Napatingin ako sa kanya, he's driving now and he looks seriously handsome as he maneuvers the car.

Wait... did i say he looked handsome?

My goodness Maria Victoria! What's happening to you!

"Victoria, you ok?"

He asked, saka ko nalang namalayang naka stop na pala kami sa harap ng isang coffee shop.

"I'm sorry, i'm just thinking of something. What is it again?"

"Malalim nga iniisip mo... i asked if you want some coffee?"

"Iced americano will do. Thanks."

"Got it. Just wait for me here." He said with a smile.

After closing the door, napahinga ako ng mabilis. Hindi ko namalayang pinipigilan ko na pala ang aking paghinga. I looked at myself.

Am i blushing? No i should not!

Hawak ko nrin ang dibdib ko. Para akong hinabol ng sampung aso sa bilis ng tibok nito.

"Hey stop! Stop beating fast!

Pinikit ko nalang ang mga mata ko para kumalma ng konte. Ilang sandali pa ang lumipas ay narinig ko nalang na bumukas ang pinto.

"Here, have some cookies too." He said as he handed me some treats.

"Thanks."

"That's the second."

"Second?"

He smiled and looked at me, that made my heart flutter again.

"It's your second thanks today."

"Whatever."

"Wanna go somewhere else before going back to your hotel?"

"Really with this dress on?"

"Why not? You look beautiful with it so why not?" He said before sipping some of his drinks

"Yeah... reasons..."

"Don't worry, we'll go somewhere no one will ever notice what you're wearing."

"Just make sure Faulkerson or else i'll kill you myself."

"Woah, woah, relax lady. Trust me, you'll like it there."

"You know i can't trust you after everything that happened. I'm just being cautious."

"Ok ok, i won't do anything stupid so relax a bit. Ok?"

I just sigh and sipped my coffee.

"ok, ok!"

This guy really...

Wait! Did i just easily agreed to him??? Did i just let him??? What's happening to you Maria Victoria?!!!
