His Nefarious Schemes

Kabanata 32

Wearing a gold fitted satin dress I slowly went out of my Mercedes-Benz. Flipping my hair I walked my way towards the restaurant.

"Good morning ma'am do you have any reservations?" tanong niya I smiled and shook my head.

"I'm here to meet Blake Tinsley." para naman siyang natauhan at agad ngumiti.

"This way ma'am." I smiled as she led me the way. My smile faded as soon as I saw the smirking Blake.

"I'm glad you came." he said and kissed my cheeks.

Umupo na ako at ganon din siya. Soon some waiters and waitress came with the food and a bottle of wine. Tumaas ang kilay ko at liningon siya. Mayabang siyang ngumisi. Kakain na sana ako kaso pumasok ang isang waiter na may dalang violin at sinimulang itutog ito. My jaw dropped and scoffed.

"Actually I find it awkward when someone watches us so you can let the waiter go." I whispered.

Tumango naman siya at agad na sinabihan ang waiter. The waiter then bowed before leaving. Tumikhim ako at naiilang na kumain.

"So how was your day?" he asked, probably to get rid of the awkward silence.

"I was with you Blake." I said.

"Well, only half of your day so for the rest of the day what did you do?" I want to clear things out and tell him it's just a simple dinner but I'll do that later.

"I slept and prepared for this dinner. Nothing much actually." Nakibalikat kong sabi. Running out of topics we just kept quiet. I took a sip on my wine and so did he.

"I'm not the type of guy who likes to play around. To be frank with you. I like you." not surprised by what he said I smiled and slowly placed my wine glass on the table.

"I don't feel the same. I'm sorry." I said smiling. Tumaas ang kilay niya.

"I respect your decision but may I know why? Because you said you are single." huminga ako ng malalim bago tumuwid sa pag-upo.

"I'm single but my heart belongs to someone else." Ngumisi ako at ganon din siya.

"Tell me about him," he said, shrugging. Ngumisi ako at umiling.

"I choose to keep quiet." humalakhak siya at ganon din ako. He raised his glass.

"Cheers." Ngumisi ako at kinuha din rin ang wine glass ko.

"Cheers." our glass is clicking. After eating with him. I tapped his cheeks.

"You're handsome Blake. A lot of girls are lining up. I'm sure you can pick." hinawakan niya ang kamay ko na nasa pisngi niya at dahan-dahan itong binaba.

"Too bad the one I'm interested with is mentally taken." humalakhak ako at tumayo.

"Well friends?" I offered. He smiled and nodded.

"Of course! Friends." sabay kaming lumabas sa restaurant but on my way to my car natapilok ako! Good thing he was quick enough to hold my waist.

"Careful," he whispered. Not feeling anything I smiled at stood up.

"Thank you. See you when I see you Blake!" Kumaway ako.

May sasabihin pa sana siya pero tinalikuran ko na siya. Pumasok na ako sa sasakyan ko at nag-drive papunta sa hotel. Pagdating ko sa hotel ay agad akong napairap nang makita ko ang manager ko.

"Tita nothing happened okay? I told him I don't like him end of story." suminghap naman siya kaya napairap ako. Nakaharang pa talaga siya sa pinto ng kwarto ko!

"You turned him down?!" hindi makapaniwala na tanong niya. I raised a brow.

"What do you expect tita? I told you I don't like him." I softly pushed him to the side to open my door. Pumasok ako at sumunod rin si tita. Ang kulit!
