I looked at my reflection on my full length mirror again for the tenth time. Do I look good enough? God. Bakit ba feeling ko ay naubusan ako bigla ng magagandang damit?
Inis kong hinubad ang suot na mom jeans at white tank top. I bit my nails out of frustration at nagpalakad lakad sa kwarto ko. I never felt this frustrated in choosing something to wear. Not even once, ngayon lang talaga. But I want to look perfect tonight. Argh!
Pumasok ako ulit sa walk-in closet para pumili ng maisusuot. I held the fabric of the clothes as I scanned each one of them. I stopped midway when I spotted a black, body-hugging dress, finely made in silk. Agad ko itong kinuha at tiningnan ang kabuuan nito.
I smiled when I imagined myself wearing this.
I immediately slipped on the dress and looked at myself on the mirror. The word wow would be an understatement as I looked at how well the dress complimented my creamy white skin. I turned sidewards and my smile grew wider when I saw the crisscross detail at the back of this dress. Backless style siya pero may nakacross na straps kaya hindi masyadong malaswa tingnan. The neckline is also plunging revealing some of my cleavage.
I looked perfect.
After putting on some makeup and curling my straight long hair into big waves, I slipped on my 3-inch black stiletto and picked my phone na kanina ko pa nakitang umiilaw.
I swiped it and my wallpaper revealed causing my lips to stretch into a smile. It was a picture of me and Jax, taken on our first monthsary. Nakangiti kaming dalawa dito at nakapeace sign ako.
I clicked on the notification showing Jax's message on Twitter.

Napailing ako sa message niya. This man is really something. I typed a reply saying I'll be there in a few and typed a message for Kreala asking her if they're already in the university. Agad naman siyang nagreply ng oo kaya kumilos na rin ako.
Halos mahilo ako sa sobrang dami ng tao pagkadating ko sa CDSA. Tinext ko ulit si Kreala para magtanong kung saan sila banda. When I sent the message, I continued on walking until I bumped on someone. Muntikan na akong matumba kaya agad akong nainis. Bubulyawan ko na sana ang nakabangga ko pero di na natuloy nang mapagtanto ko kung sino ito.
"Hey, angel. You looked so gorgeous in that dress."
Agad akong pinamulahan ng mukha nang tingnan niya ang kabuuan ko as if checking me out. I also looked at him. He's wearing a white button down shirt paired with a faded ripped jeans. Nakakainis kasi ang simple lang ng suot niya pero ang lakas pa rin ng dating.
Mas lalong uminit ang mukha ko nang tumikhim siya at nagsalita, "You done checking me out?"
"Hoy di ah, baka ikaw diyan," tanggi ko dahilan para marinig ko ang mahinang tawa niya. Kainis, kahit ang tawa sobrang gwapo.
