You Belong With Me

Twenty Seven.

Cartier sent me a diamond necklace as a gift. It was a beautiful piece. Sinuot ko iyon dahil may party ang Cartier ngayong gabi.

Chandler went out awhile ago to look for a tux. Sanya and Jessa went with him dahil hindi niya kabisado ang NYC. Ako naman ngayon ay inaayusan na. The venue is at a five star hotel.

I am wearing a wine red evening gown. It hugged my body nicely and it moves with me. The back is very exposed but I don't mind. My long wavy hair is styled in a messy bun and it had crystals on it. I wore my new crystal Chanel heels for a more expensive look.

May narinig akong kumatok. Cris went to open the door.

"Ay, ang gwapo!", tumili sina Cris at Helen kaya napabaling ako.

My mouth formed an 'O' when I saw Chandler in an all black Armani suit. The cloth hugged every part of his body well and it complimented his skin. Nakadagdag din ito sa strong features ng kanyang mukha.

He looked ruthless...

"Wassap mga teh!"

Or so I thought. Gosh.

"Your mouth ruins your image," anas ko nang makabawi.

"Wala man lang pa-compliment diyan?"

I rolled my eyes and Cris continued with my lipstick. After 15 minutes, we were on the way to the hotel. Cartier offered us a limo. Kami lang ni Chandler ang narito.

"Ang galante ng Cartier ha, may pa-limousine pa. Hashtag rich!"

Wala nalang akong nagawa kundi tumawa at umiling. Napakakulit ni Chandler! I wonder where he inherited it. Tita Grace seem calm and composed while Tito Joseff is uptight. Oh... baka kay Yoyong at Dodi. Gosh!

"You're lovely, Pors. Have I told you that already?", Chandler said in his favorite Australian accent.

I sweetly smiled at him.

"You make my heart go oops!", napasimangot ako nang sumayaw siya.

"Chan naman eh!"

We arrived on time. Pinagbuksan kami ng driver ng pinto. Chandler then offered his hand to me as I went out.

"Merci."

"Yes. Have mercy."

"Chandler, that's 'thank you'."

"Alam ko! Nagjo-joke lang eh."

There were cameras everywhere. Nakakapit ako sa braso ni Chandler kaya marami na namang tanong tungkol sa aming dalawa. When we got inside the lobby, ang mga selected journalists nalang ang naroon.

"Miss Portia, is it true you're dating Chandler Montano for the company?"

"Miss Portia, Benildo and Donito Montano both had fixed marriages then. Is it the same with you and Chandler Montano?"

What? I didn't know about that. Kaya pala may ganitong issue!

"Miss, who are you wearing?"

"Miss, here!"

"Miss Portia, are you exclusive with Chandler?"

Oh no...

"Pors, hindi mo ba sasagutin?", nakangiting tanong ni Chandler habang lumalakad kami sa red carpet papasok. I shook my head.

Ayokong sagutin.

We posed for the cameras. Chandler was a natural too. Bagay siyang mag-modelo, if he shuts his mouth.

Malapit na kami sa bukana ng hall nang may nagtanong na naman.

"Miss Portia, here! Are you with Andres Dorio?"
