San Vicente Series #1, Moon Embraces The Sun

Twenty-five

"Ashia, I'll take you home" archi said as he was running in pace towards his car.

"You'll be okay right?" Ashia asked me. "I can manage" I clarified.

We were all walking and getting inside our own cars, sun asked me earlier if i could drive her home, she told me she left his rubicon in their house and i nodded and told her that there's no problem of taking her home.

I watched ashia walking towards Archi's car, when i got inside my car, I saw ilios talking to tyrone. I watched them walked towards their car, but it got me surprised when ilios started walking to the car beside mine.

I brought the engine to life and drive my way home, it was already 9 in the evening when we decided to leave so probably it's already quarter to 10.

I got inside the house and parked the car in our garage, when i got inside, Manang tessa popped right away infront of me.

"Hija, magtungo ka sa Likod"

"May problema po ba?"

Umiling si manang tessa, i left my bag in the living room and went to the backyard, as soon as i stepped outside, the light opened up and everything looked so perfect.

"Hi" julian greeted me, i was shocked when the lights opened up. It's kinda dim and has orangey effect, i saw a lot of flower petals scattered on the floor, i even saw a round table good for two. It got me thinking that julian must have prepared this earlier.

"What's this?" I asked still in shocked.

"Sabi mo kanina, hindi dapat ganoon kapag tinatanong ang babae lumabas as a date diba?" Julian said.

I nodded and hid my face, i can feel it. Im starting to get shy.

"Eto, pasensya na ha eto lang kaya ng budget ko" aniya

Everything was perfect, romantically perfect, a dinner rin the backyard sounds splendid.

I gave him an apologetic smile. Julian is giving me hints, and hindi ko naman alam kung anong pinaplano nya pero parang hindi ko ata deserve ang tinatrato ng ganito.

"Anong problema?" Tanong ni julian.

I dont want to ruin the night.

"Wala naman" tugon ko.

I heard julian sighed in satisfaction.

"Kanina ka pa ba dito? Im sorry, nag dinner na kasi ako sa labas e but that doesn't matter, we can still eat what you prepared" wika ko sabay tingin sa pagkain na nakahain sa mesa.

"Oo, higit isang oras ako naghintay e, di ko alam na may lakad ka" tugon nya

"I'm sorry. It was a quick decision. But we can still eat this, everything's perfect julian" i said and held his hand and gave him a smile.

Julian offered me a seat, i sat on the chair and chuckled as im watching him getting on to hi seat.

"So...." ani julian.

I looked at him. He's like he's up to saying something but he looks so terrific. So i cleared up my throat and asked him what's the matter.

"Ganito ba yung ginagawa noon sayo kapag inaaya ka sa date"

I coughed.

My eyes widened when i heard what he said! I was just joking, hindi naman ako nagpaparinig sa kanya, talagang nagjojoke lang ako sa kanya!

"J-julian" i stuttered.

He raised a brow

"About what i said earlier, i was just joking" i said and formed an awkward smile.
