CHAPTER 35
DINNER
A car stopped right in front of me while I'm patiently waiting outside my Mom's company. I smiled when Zin stepped out of his car, wearing a black shirt rolled up sleeves, and black pants. It's a good thing I have changed into a dark blue dress this afternoon, or I might look like trash next to him.
He looks so handsome as if all his life, he's never been stressed. How unfair.
Zin walked towards me and put some strands of my hair behind my ear. My eyes fluttered and I already melted under his gaze. Damn, I have it bad for him. Too bad.
"Hi..." As I'm still trying to go back to my senses, Zin suddenly handed me a bouquet of red roses.
"Para saan?" I asked in surprise. Nagkibit balikat lang siya at pinagbuksan na 'ko ng pintuan ng kotse niya. I chuckled and happily sat at the shotgun seat.
WHY WOULD HE BUY ME FLOWERS? OH MY GOSH! Tiffany would freak out if I share this with her!
"Seatbelt please," pagpaaalala niya sa akin nang makabalik na siya sa driver's seat.
"So, where are we going?" My curious ass couldn't wait till we get to the venue.
"You'll see." Ngumisi siya at nag-drive na. Hindi 'ko naman mapigilang hindi matuwa sa bulaklak na binigay niya. I feel like a teenager with butterflies on my stomach.
"Kumusta? It's been two weeks..." I mumbled after a while, trying my best to act normal around him.
"I know, Caylee. Two long weeks."
I stared at him but he didn't look at me. Is he mad that I didn't wake him up that day? Is he still upset that I left after that night?
"Ganun pa rin naman ako," dagdag niya kaya nakahinga ako nang maluwag. I really need to stop overthinking. "School. My Dad's company. School."
"Must be exciting," I joked around.
"Not with you gone."
Para akong tangang kinilig sa sagot niya. Bakit ba 'ko nagkakaganito? Chill Caylee.
I smiled a little but I decided to stay quiet. Baka mahalata niya ang pagbabago sa inaasta ko, nakakahiya. I need to stop smiling or he might think I'm on drugs.
Zin was also silent. I'm not sure what changed but I'm starting to feel awkward.
"We're here," He announced, turning off the engine of his car and immediately getting out before I could even ask. Inalis ko na ang seatbelt ko at bubuksan na sana ang pintuan ng kotse nang maunahan niya 'ko. Like the gentleman that he is, he offered his hand.
"Ang bait natin ngayon ah," biro ko na lang.
"When was I ever rude to you?" He grinned. Tinignan ko ang paligid at napakunot ang noo. I'm not familiar with this place. I've never been here.
"Where are we?" Biglang hinawakan ni Zin ang kamay ko at ngingiti-ngiting hinila ako papunta sa may entrance.
