You're the One for Me 💘

Clarke Point of View

      After our lunch meeting with our parents Lewis became energetic back to normal self. I never see him even once spacing out or do day dreaming especially for a lady. I never thought he really is inlove with Courtney. The simple yet mysterious rich beautiful lady. What a joke. Of all people and what a small world. Fate and destiny make a way for both of them.
        I do have a little crush on Courtney but as soon as Lewis gave me warning I knew in the first place that he has something on her. It turn out to be a sisterly way after that.
       After all the confessions Lewis told us about Courtney that was really shocking that was connected with the merger. Is the pain and betrayal feeling I felt for Lewis.
      After that day speculation came to my senses. I search in the internet and voila! I saw the real Courtney Thomas, the daughter of the business tycoon in Guam. Her mother is one of the famous model before and a socialite. She has one brother too. Split with ex boyfriend and went missing after.
     Courtney as a beautiful model, a famous young lady with a beautiful smile but sad eyes. Gotcha! She go outside of Guam and change her identity to live in a life she wanted.
      I reach my phone and dialed Lewis number. It's just ringing I guess he's busy or sleeping. I tried  three times and I stop. I know as long as he wakes up  he'll call me back.
      I tried to dialed Courtney's number. After a second " hello?" She answered it means she doesn't change her number yet. " Hi Courtney, it's Clarke ring a bell?" I joke. " oh , Yeah How are you?" She replied. " I'm good, and you? long time no hear and no see huh?" I answered back. " Yeah quite busy and I bet you already knew the issue between me and your brother." She said. " yeah, and I'm already know the real you." I replied back. No answer and it's a long pause before she said.... " There's always a reason why and time for everything. It's easy to judge and hurt someone rather giving a chance to explain and answer why" then a Toot! She hang up.
      I never feel bad coz she off on my face rather I feel her pain too like she's thinking we're judging her. Both feelings and pain they have to each other. A matter of pride and ego only exists. This time I can't be a Cupid but I'm still willing to help for their happiness.
      As Lewis told me he wanted me to find him a new born pitbull. He said he wants to have a buddy same Alfonso my German Shepherd. Just I leave at home no time to pet him always I can go once I visit my family like yesterday when Lewis surprised me to get ready to go to our parents house.
       I browse in the internet where there's a place we're I can buy a new born pitbull. Because he said he wants to take care and train him. He wants attachment that's why he wants a baby one. I saw and I will call them tomorrow.
      Time so fast it's already been 10 in the evening. I need to talk to Lewis tomorrow. Now I need to order food. " hello can I order pancit Filipino style with Shanghai rolls and bulalo." I told the filipina over the phone. " ok Sir, 30 minutes and kindly communicate to our delivery guy for your address thank you and have good night" she replied politely. Here in Dubai anywhere you can find restaurants. Different food style from different country. I once taste these food when my secretary invite me to a birthday party. I can say it's delicious. Aside from Indian and Pakistani or Yemeni food it's almost same with Arabic food. Just bread difference.
     As my parents cook our own food we can say we adopt some of the food here too. In U.S before we migrate here we almost do orders McDonald's burger fries but when my mom cooks potatoes and vegetables salad grilled chicken of my dad or seafood too. I could say living here is so safe and comfortable as long as you have job with you.
   After 20 minutes my food came, I dig in and munch the crunch lumpia while eating pancit at same time. Drink the hot and flavored soup bulalo and chewed the flavored soft well cooked beef. Wow I feel full. After I went to my studio room.
     I remember when I paint Courtney for the first time. I hope I can paint her as my model. She's a good subject. If Lewis will allow me to. I don't have a subject for now.  I'm not in the mood. I went back to my wine bar get a glass of whiskey and bring to my bed while watching a tv.
