Timid Heart (Eligible Heiress #3)

Chapter 10

Ate Serene let me have some of her party dresses for tonight but I can't seem to wear most of it in public. I can't even dare myself to fit the clothes to see if they look nice on me because all of it is kind of daring for me.

Ayoko lang na magtampo si Ate kaya I chose the most appropriate clothing for me among all others na bigay niya that I can tolerate to wear for a few hours.

"Oh, you look great!" Bati ni Ate pagpasok niya sa aking kuwarto.

I wore the powder blue faux silk bodycon sleeveless dress. It has a low V-neck na kung may oras pa ako ay tatahiin ko pa para lang hindi masyadong mababa. I'm afraid my boobs might show themselves tonight but Ate Serene assured me that it will not.

Sinabi ko rin na baka pwede ako magtube bra nalang para komportable pero hindi raw bagay at pangit tignan kaya hindi ko na pinilit.

"Come here." Hila niya sa akin.

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa hawak niyang lipstick na itinutok niya sa aking labi.

"It's not a shocking color, huwag kang OA Ace." Sermon niya sa akin habang ina-apply ang lipstick sa aking labi. "See? Peachy. Pam-baby lang." Ngiti niya.

Ibinigay niya sa akin ang lipstick and I put it inside my purse. She'll ride with me going to Square Eights dahil hindi siya nagpasundo kay Kuya Dex. I don't know why pero hindi naman sila mukhang nag-away dahil minu-minuto ay tinatawagan siya ni Kuya Dex. I think it's also great para naman may element of surprise pa kapag nagkita sila mamaya.

Ate Serene patted my hand away from my chest while we are walking going to the front entrance of Square Eights. I'm so conscious of my chest and I'm really afraid for my boobs.

"Lalo lang mapapatingin ang mga tao diyan sa dibdib mo dahil obvious na tinatakpan mo. Be confident." Sabi niya.

We stopped at the entrance where a big bulky man is standing. He looked at me and Ate Serene back and forth with his assessing eyes.

"Ma'am. Nagulo ako, pagkakita ko sa malayo akala ko kayo iyong blonde." Tingin niya sa akin. "Nagpalit na naman pala kayo ng kulay ng buhok." Ngiti niya.

"Last na po ito, Kuya. Promise." Natatawang sabi ni Ate sabay hila sa akin papasok.

I guess madalas si Ate Serene rito para mame-morized na siya ng lalaking iyon. Sabagay, this is already owned by her fiancé kaya mas maganda kung dito nalang siya paparty kaysa sa ibang lugar pa.

Umikot agad ang mga mata ko sa paligid pagpasok namin, I can see how classy the bar is. It's not that dark like the usual bars because this night is intended for an engagement party. Naghanap din ako ng pamilyar na mga tao and I saw Ate Hope with Kuya Caius at the corner.

Nang magpaalam si Ate sa akin na pupuntahan si Kuya Dex ay saka ko sila pinuntahan. I have seen some familiar faces but I don't know their names and I am not close to them kaya kay Ate Hope nalang ako didikit hanggang mamaya.

I touched her big, round belly after kissing her on the cheek and the baby kick right on time making me laugh. I bet she can't wait to see and play with her Aunt.

Binati ko rin ang kaibigan ni Kuya Lorenzo na si Kuya Mason katabi ang kanyang asawa. Kuya Mason is also Kuya Dex's older brother and I can see the resemblance, they are both good looking. I guess I'm fifth wheeling tonight, sounds fun.

"Where is Serene?" Ate Hope asked.

I pointed somewhere at the bar area where I saw her went a while ago. "With Kuya Dex."

She nodded, caressing her belly. Hindi naman nagtagal ay nagsimula na silang tawagin sa harapan para masimulan na ang party. They both look like a model standing in front, ang takad nila pareho with striking beautiful faces. Later on, mapapaligiran na ako ng mga guwapo at magagandang pamangkin. I am so excited that I am already thinking of making the condo kid friendly.
