     We reach the Alici restaurant 15 minutes past six. As usual valet parking he gave his key to the guy and we walk towards the restaurant. He say the reservation table and the hostess guide us. We followed her it's in a private table second floor again the view is to die for. You can see the beach the bright moon because of the glass windows. If it's raining you can see the drops from outside. It's overlooking. I had this only when I was attending functions. Clarke is already there he stand and walk towards us hug his brother and tap His shoulder and we do beso ( cheeks to cheeks kiss). Then he go back to his seat and he is with someone. When all of us seated in a four seated table I'm facing the lady and Clarke facing Lewis. Clarke said her friend name Alice. Me and Lewis say hi and hello in exchange to her.
    While the brothers ordering food Lewis ask me what I want to eat " smoke salmon with croissants bread and fries on the side dish and avocado with lemon salad" I told him. He nod and Clarke ask Alice too. While they were busy ordering and talking with each other I tried to chat with Alice.
    She seems shy the way she look and always lowered her gaze. She told me that she's working as a  bank teller in one of the famous bank in Dubai. She wore a black long sleeve dress above the knee paired with white rubber shoes. She said she's from the Philippines. I like filipino people I told her, always happy and polite too. I told her I'm planning to visit Boracay and El Nido this year. She told me I'll enjoy there because of peoples hospitality and cheap and fresh food. I told her about Guam, an island and I told her a lot filipino their too. We became friends easily. She's so humble that's why easy to be with.
    We stop when our orders came. Clarke say he found a bulldog for Lewis and my dog I need to get in his family's house. Lewis told me this coming Sunday we'll go there. I feel uneasy. Ain't it to early to meet his family. Oh God. Help me. I just nod and continue taste my food. They order chicken pasta, wagyu beef  grilled with sauce and two boys with beer I order champagne and Alice just juice and she's having beef with asparagus and broccoli.
   We exchange conversations until the topic goes to that Ruffa again. Clarke is laughing too hard when he saw Lewis reaction. I told him not to ruin his brothers appetite. I never thought even Clarke knows her. He kept on saying that woman is hot but in a wrong way. Then Alice look at me. Then I explain to her who that woman was and why they were laughing this way.
   " Maybe her charm is not functioning THATS why she need to used her second asset and that's her body" Alice said. " Even you are rich no amount of make up or jewelry or salon can do to attract other sex unless your attitude is expensive than diamonds" Alice added. " wow so deep " I replied to her. " Clarke if you saw her when Courtney slap her with her answer fees the lady turn red really she
Feels ashame because Courtney give her in the face" Lewis explain in between laughter.
" it's not my intention to make her feel bad but she's trying to provoke me with limits. See after that she stop" I told them. " you're good you did a very very good job there sister in law". Clarke respond. " I agree". Lewis said. " me too" Alice said.
   It's been 9 in the evening we decided to go. This time Lewis take the bill and paid through credit card.
As we reach the front lobby the parking man gave both of their keys and as usual kind men gave tip. I
Love seeing this simple act from them. I hug Alice I told her message me I gave my number and I Hope to visit her one day. Clarke hug and say good bye then. Brothers hug too. I say thank you to them then we parted ways.
    As we are driving on our way to my building Lewis hold and kiss my hand. " Did you enjoy love? U like the food? He ask with concern. " I did really thank you." I replied looking at him sweetly. We drive while he still holding my left hand. Then we stop in a mini grocery near my building. He ask me if I want something I said no. It takes him 5 minutes and when he came back when he sit he gave me a plastic full of food and I laugh hard.
     A bucket of 1 kg ice cream butter scotch flavor how he knows this my favorite? 6 pcs of gummy bears different flavors. Big Lays cheese flavor. Big Doritos and each box of Cadbury, Ferrero rocher, Hershey's, KitKat,m&m, and Toblerone. I was shocked a lot. " why you buy all this sweets?!" I ask. " you want me get fat?!" I added while laughing coz I'm tickling him. " nothing just I want give it to you, next time patchi and Lindt." He said. " I know you taste a lot of expensive and delicious chocolates but still I want to court you this way." I put the plastic bag in the back seat then I kiss his face hardly." " that's what you deserve thank you. Anything from you I like ok no price even chupa cups lollipop like" I said to make him smile. And he did.
    I told him to park in the back parking that's for the tenant very room has parking number. Then we used the back elevator. He carried the plastic bag and his clothes in a Louis Vuitton shoulder bag then we walk while holding hand on the elevator. Once we reach the floor I open my pouch bag and get the key
And magnetic card.
     He put the ice cream directly in the fridge and told me " we need to do grocery shopping to you too he said."  " I guess yeah I said." This week let's do all" I told him while I'm removing my sandals. He sit to remove his shoes too and put in the rack near the door.
