Date?

I was pacing back and forth looking for an attire to wear today. I looked at my walk-in cabinet. It almost looked empty because all my clothes are dumped in my queen-sized bed. I'm having a hard time picking up what to wear today.

I don't want to bother Ari because of course she'll tease me for being this problematic. Wala naman si mommy, nasa office ata ni daddy. Kung si ate Penny kaya? Whatever I have no choice.

"Hello." I greeted.

"Wraia? Why?" Tila nagugulhang aniya. Mukhang kakagising niya lang.

"Ano magandang suotin?" I asked her.

I heard a soft shriek from her. "Omg? Dalaga ka na! For what event? You have a date? San kayo pupunta?" Excited na aniya.

"I'm not sure if it's a date, ate. We're just friends, anyway. And I don't know where we're going." I answered honestly.

"Ok, let's guess where you guys are going, first. What are his likes?

"Women."

"Seriously? Ditch him."

"What I'm gonna wear nga?" I stomped my feet.

"Why not wear the lavender dress we bought?" She suggested.

"Alright. Bye. Thanks." Then I ended the call.

In the end, I wore a dark grey melange self striped fitted crop top and a highwaisted ripped jeans with folded ends. It's six inches below my knee. Then I applied a little amount of make up and let my wavy hair down. I put on my leather belt and buckled my maroon ankle boots. I paired it with a black sling bag.

Carlisle:
I'm here.

As soon as I read his text, I went down. Dali dali akong bumaba sa hagdanan nang maramdaman kong may nakatitig sakin. I looked up and saw Lisle staring at me.

I slowly walked near him. "Tara?" I nervously asked. Bakit siya ganyan makatingin? "Panget ba?" I asked as I looked at my outfit.

He shook his head and pursed his lips. "Why does it matter?"

Nag iwas ako ng tingin. "Baka panget sa paningin ng ibang tao, eh, edi magpapali-" he cut me off.

"You dressed up for me, not for them. Bakit ibang tao iniisip mo?" He said in a hard tone. "Maganda ka kahit pa magsuot ka ng basahan." He said before turning his back on me.

My cheeks automatically heated. Stupid cheeks. Bakit kayo kinikilig? I mentally rolled my eyes and went out to look for Lisle. Iniwan ako, bwisit!

Paglabas ko nasa kotse na siya. I went inside the car and put on my seatbelt. "Saan tayo pupunta?" I asked Lisle as I fix myself through his side view mirror. This is the second time I'm riding his car. It was a black Porsche.

"You'll know soon." He said.

I just shrugged and texted ate Mari to fix the clothes I left on my bed. I also apologized for leaving it that way.

Lisle suddenly hissed. "Who are you texting?" Tanong niya nang di ako tinitignan.

"Si ate Mari lang, pinaayos ko yung mga damit kong naiwan sa kama." I scanned his car and noticed that there's a blanket at the back of his car? "What is that for? Natutulog ka dito?" I looked at him.
