The Ice Cream Experience

Ellie's POV

"Ready Ellie?" Tito Johnny called from downstairs. I was currently packing my bags for my "temporary" stay at the Montealegre household.

"Almost Tito. Just a little while." I replied, then zipped my last bag.

I heaved a sigh, then headed downstairs.

Tito Johnny helped me carry down my luggage.

"Let's go." He smiled, then we left.

"Baby, we're really sorry for this arrangement ha. It's just that we'll be really really busy and we wouldn't be able to spend time with you. This way, you can get accompanied by Nico and Sofia, so you won't get bored to death." Mama further explained,

"It's okay Ma. I understand naman eh." I replied.

She smiled.

"We're here." Tito Johnny announced when we finally got to the mansion.

I got out of the car and immediately got greeted by Tita Marianne and Tito Danilo.

"Hi Tito, Hi Tita!" I greeted, with enthusiasm in my voice.

"Hello hija. It's great to have you here! Welcome to the family!" Tita Marianne said,

I blushed, taken aback by her statement.

"Ma, welcome to the family agad? Di pa nga sila ni Kuya eh. Hello Ate!" Sofia butted in then gave me a warm embrace.

"Hello Sofia." I greeted.

I looked around the place, but couldn't find a trace of him.

"Andun pa si Kuya sa taas Ate. Nagpapagwapo daw. Ewan ko ba dun." Sofia said, as if reading my mind.

"Nagpapagwapo para saan? May lakad ba sya?" I asked,

"Wala. Nagpapagwapo daw para sa'yo! Charot!" Sofia said,

I felt myself blush, yet disappointed.

"No seryoso Ate, mukhang natamaan na talaga sa'yo yun. Inlove na inlove. Iba yung aura, glowing!" Sofia teased, grinning.

I blushed.

"Uy Sofia! Ano na naman ba pinagsasabi mo dyan?" Nico joined in.

"Hi Ellie!" He added, giving me one of his signature smiles.

Damn. He looked so handsome. Too handsome.

He was wearing a tucked in plaid flannel with black skinny jeans and a black belt. He looked so manly. It was as if he was a living mannequin.

His built was perfect. His muscles. His biceps. I bet he has absolutely amazing six pack abs beneath that shirt.

Erase. Ellie, what are you thinking about. Erase, erase.

"Um, Hi!" I greeted, smiling. He shook my hand, giving me another one of those electrifying feeling.

*Ahem* *Ahem* Sofia fake coughed. 

We immediately let go of each other's hands, blushing.

"Sus! Love birds! Come on!" Sofia said, making her way inside the house.

We immediately followed.

After eating dinner and saying my goodbyes to Mama and Tito Johnny, Nico led me to my room.
