"Well, I did pull some strings but it's very small so it won't be that noticeable."
"Some fool was walking at a turtle pace so we just added a little bit of everything to speed things up."
The whole ride was far from being silent because as soon as we hit the road, Tita Nica started to talk about a lot of things. I was silently listening to them the whole time because even if I want to join their conversation, I can't because I can't relate. They're talking riddles that my brain doesn't have the capacity to comprehend. They sure are having a blast. Finally, after around 10 minutes of a torturous ride, we arrived at a 5 Star Hotel, a hotel named "Estrella".
Vince parked in a VIP parking lot. He quickly went out of the car to open the door for Tita Nica. And given the stupid that I am, I was struggling with removing this stubborn seatbelt.
Nag-angat ako ng tingin nang bumukas ang pinto sa kanan ko. Yumuko nang bahagya si Vince hanggang magpantay ang mukha namin, wala akong mabasang emosyon sa mukha niya as always, he then pressed a button from the seatbelt and moved away. Napabuga ako ng hangin, hindi ko namalayan na pinipigil ko pala ang paghinga ko. I mentally smacked my head because of my stupidity.
I went out of the car and followed them as they entered the grand lobby of the hotel. Everything screams sophistication - the hotel's color palette is white and gold, so pure and... expensive.
Binati kami ng mga nakangiting staffs sa lobby. Their sweet smiles are containgious, kaya napangiti rin ako para batiin sila pabalik.
Katulad kanina ay nakakapit sa magkabilang braso ni Liarra sina Tita Nica at Larissa habang kami naman ni Vince ay nakasunod sa likod nila.
I anxiously checked my wristwatch, 4:20. 1 hour and 40 minutes before my curfew.
Pumasok kami sa elevator na nasa pinakadulo. Kulay gold ito at may nakasulat na "VVIP" sa taas. Looks like the elite circle are the usual costumers of this hotel.
I was a bit taken aback when Tita Nica suddenly held on to me when we were about to go out of the elevator. She was all smiles as if she was amazed by something.
"Good evening, Madame Strobel." The waiter bowed as he greeted Tita Nica.
Tita greeted him back with a smile. "Good evening, is my husband here already?"
"Yes Madame, let me show you the way to your table."
I looked around as we walk to our destination. The restaurant's ambiance is so romantic, red and white roses are everywhere, idagdag mo pa ang mga tugtugan ng mga violinist sa gilid.
After a decent amount of walking, we halted in front of a glass door.
"He's inside, Madame," he said as he opened the door.
The first thing that I noticed when we entered was the garden-like feel of the room. A circular table was placed at the center surrounded by several potted roses. There was a man in his formal attire waiting near the table, he must be Mr. Strobel.
