Restraint Heart (Eligible Heiress #1)

Chapter 18

While in the elevator, I tried to calm myself and relaxed because in just a few seconds makikita ko na siya. And I need to face him bravely kung gusto ko pa humaba ang aking buhay.

I'm feeling cheerful today. I will make this weekend great for the both of us.

Nakita ko kaagad si Enzo sa lobby wearing a white and blue gingham long sleeve shirt that is folded up to his elbow, crepe color shorts and a white slip on shoes.

Who will not notice this man? He is standing in the lobby as if he owns the place.

I ran and greeted him.

"Good morning!" I said cheerfully.

"Hey there." He kissed my cheeks and smiled brightly. "Someone's very lively today."

My cheeks flushed, he doesn't miss to show affection but I'm not complaining. Hindi lang ako sanay.

We don't have any label yet but I'm sure we're not just friends. He is showing me more than that and I can feel it.

"Let's go, my car is in front."

He grabs my travel bag from me with his right hand and intertwines his left hand with my right.

This is making me feel the butterflies in my stomach. Caius Lorenzo really is something.

We were outside and I didn't see his black car, only a black Mercedes-Benz is there.

"Where is your lambo? I thought you said your car is out front?" I asked him, confused.

"This car is much more comfortable and much steadier for a long drive." He said and ushered me in the front passenger seat of the Mercedes-Benz.

Inilagay niya ang aking travel bag sa trunk ng kotse at sumakay na rin sa loob.

"Ready?" He asked and gazed at me from head to toe.

I can't seem to find my voice with the intense look he is giving me so I just nodded my head.

After an hour of driving, Enzo stopped over in the expressway so we can have some breakfast, I chose a restaurant which serves a pancake as their specialty.

We sat at the back wall of the restaurant and a waiter came to get our order.

I ordered pancakes with blueberries and just a water while Enzo ordered the classic country pancakes and coffee.

Hindi rin kami nagtagal because he said that we still have about an hour and so na biyahe.

"So, Serene...." I started to talk as he was seriously driving, looking straight ahead.

He gave me a short questioning look at tinaasan ko naman siya ng kilay.

"Baby, are you jealous?"

Hindi ko siya sinagot and just pouted my lips.

Alam ko naman na walang namamagitan sakanila, I just can't help myself be jealous. Hindi naman ako ganito, but with him, I just suddenly want to be possessive.

He gave me a quick glance nang hindi ako sumagot.

I just turned my head to face the window on my side and looked at the view kahit wala namang maganda roon.

"Baby..." He called me with a very low but soft voice of his and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "I just told her so that she'll know who you are with and that she will not worry."

I sighed. "I know. I'm sorry."

After almost two hours of travel, we arrived at a grandeur beach resort in Batangas.
