Speculations

We had our lunch inside a prestigious restaurant. Mga elite personna lang ang nakita ko. I saw how Lucy, ao model eyed the man behind me. Looks like she's craving for him. She seductively bite her lips nang dumaan kami but Uno didn't give a damn about it.

Umupo kami malapit sa may bintana. The restaurant was garden like inspired. Maayos na nakalagay ang mga bulaklak sa labas at iyon ang makikita mo mula rito. There's a lot of butterflies too roaming around the pretty pink roses and yellow sunflowers. Sarap sigurong magpapicture. Sadly, I didn't brought my phone. Wala lang.

"What do you want to eat?" I glanced at the menu.

"Ah, vegetables salad with chicken? Ano bang masarap dito? Iyon na lang ang akin."

He ordered for us. Mukhang alam na alam na niya ang pagkain dito. He didn't even bothered on looking at the menu. Basta na lang sinabi kung ano ang kanyang gusto. I clasped my hands together. Napabaling ako sa gawi ni Lucy, the model. She kept on looking at our side, in Uno's side. Umirap ito ng magtagpo ang mata namin.

"Mukhang may gusto si Lucy sa iyo?" Nagsulubong ang makapal nitong kilay.

"Lucy? Who's that?" Napanganga naman ako.

"Really? You don't know Lucy? She's the famous model here in the Philippines and internationally."

"Oh! She ain't that pretty, Azure."

Moments left and our foods was served. Nilahad niya sa akin ang vegetables salad with chicken. Natakam naman ako sa lobster na nasa harap ko kaya kumain rin ako. He ordered mango shake for us. Dumating din naman kaagad.

"Let's shop," he declared.

"Huh? Kakashopping ko pa kahapon."

"Magshopping ka ulit. It's not a problem." Nabulunan ako sa sinabi nito.

I know he's rich but hindi na naman kailangan pang magshopping lalo na at meron pa namang stock.

I have no choice but to follow him wherever he wanted to be. Iisa kang ang kotseng gamit namin at iyong sa kanya pa. Even if it is against my will, I was left with no choice.

We shop like he wanted. Namili ng mga bagong damit and bought groceries. I never thought that he'll do this. I mean, buying groceries? Not his in blood. Marami ngang nakatingin na tao sa kanya. He's gorgeous and I won't deny it.

Dumaan kami sa bilihan ng pabango. Humanap rin ako ng para sa akin. I tested Channel perfume tapos iyong sa Victoria's Secret din. Hindi ko makita ang binili niya but it was placed in a very expensive box. Iyong akin naman ay galing sa Channel.

Hindi ako umimik ng pumasok kami sa men's botique. Usually mga tuxedo, polo, tie, cufflinks ang nakikita ko. May stand rin ng relo. Umupo ako sa malaking sofa intended for customers habang namimili si Uno.

The woman almost drool when Uno took of his denim jacket. Mas naging klaro ang toned muscles arm nito. I cleared my throat.

"Can you choose a tie for me?" Bumaling ang sales lady sa gawi ko. She frowned at me.

"Sure," I replied.

Tumayo ako mula sa pagkakaupo at pumunta sa istante ng mga tie. Iba-iba ang kulay nandoon. Grey, black, blue, red and the usuals. Hindi ako magaling pumili ng tie but I have a knowledge about it. Pinili ko iyong american regimental na kulay asul. Iyon lang naman ang maganda sa paningin ko. I showed it to him.

"Okay na ba 'to?" Tumango naman siya.

He bought new dress watch too, iyong rolex. Bumagay ito sa pinili niyang bago suit. I sighed before sitting again. I'm a bit tired na rin but still have some energy to shop.
