How to Date the Gangster

Chapter 14

Pyra Salazar

I stood up as I saw the light outside coming from Alexander's car. I'm wearing a champagne A-line gown with high heels. Thankfully, I got loads of gowns in here that I can choose from. Lola likes to send me these things since she likes dressing me up when I was still a little girl.

I opened the door and saw Alexander in a suit. The suit was black....sharp-looking, and well-fitted. Exactly the sort of thing that a woman would pick out for her man to wear to a formal event.

He was wearing his signature smile and holding a rose in his hands. He chuckled as he looked at me who was obviously checking him out. How can I not? He really looks dashing in his attire.

"Good Evening, Miss Salazar" he said as he lent out his hand to give me the rose.

I smiled at him and took it in his hands. Alexander's a real gentleman.

We started walking towards his car. He brought a different car than the last time, I think this is a Porsche Panamera. He must love high end cars cause this cost a lot.

"You look really beautiful tonight" He said as he guided me inside. I can't seem to look at him in the eyes, parang matutunaw ako.

"Thank you" I mumbled as he closed the door to proceed towards the driver's seat.

The drive wasn't as awkward as I thought it would be. Alexander was a fun person to talk to and he can really make my extrovert side appear. Little by little I'm really opening up to him. I don't really know if it's good or not.

"We're here. Are you nervous?" he asked as we arrived in front of a mansion. Lights were coming out of it's yard and I could see people arriving as well.

"No. Why would I?" I smiled at him and proceeded to step out of the car. Alexander stood beside me as we walked towards the huge gate. He positioned his arms for me to hold onto it.

As soon as we entered, I could see eyes looking at us. Ilang minuto pa lang ako dito pero parang gusto ko na agad umalis, I hate the attention they're giving us.

I looked around and met a set of familiar eyes, I saw Asher looking at me with a girl clinging into his arms. He was staring intensely at us and for a moment, I saw a hint of sadness in his eyes. He quickly looked away and whispered something into the girl that made her giggle.

"You must be Pyra!" My gaze was quickly turned in front of me, I saw a man about my lolo's age who was looking happily at me. He must be Miguel Arrington.

"Good Evening, Sir" I responded and smiled at him. He has the same eyes as Alexander and Asher. He also looks kind, naaalala ko si lolo sa kanya.

"Your grandfather already talked to me about you and my grandson. I'm glad you found each other." news travels fast, madaldal din talaga si lolo minsan.
