Bouquet Of Roses [ Flower Series #1 ]

Chapter 8

Dinner

" Should we drop by off your condo to get your things? " makahulugang sabi ni Zhyken.

I look at him , confused. " Huh? "

" Huh? " he mocked me.

I hit him lightly on his arm. " Akala ko ba hindi ka aatras? " he raised a brow.

May ideya na ako sa sinasabi niya but I don't want to assume.
" Aatras saan? " I leaned over my car.
Nasa parking lot kami at pauwi na sana.

He sighed before shooking his head.
" Nevermind. Just get in , ihahatid kita hanggang sa basement ng condo mo. Mauna ka susunod ako. "

Tumango ako atsaka sinunod ang sinabi niya. I was driving smoothly while he was following me from the back.

Nang makarating kami ay saktong pagkapark ko ay bumaba siya sa sasakyan niya.

He gestured me to get in the elevator. I nodded and give him a kiss on the cheek before leaving. Namula ang pisngi ko ng makapasok sa elevator.

Tinampal ko ang magkabilang pisngi ko habang tinitignan ang repleksyon sa salamin ng elevator.

" Gosh what did I just do? "

Days had passed and I was still receiving bouquet of rose everyday. Napansin ko rin na magkakaibang kulay ito depende sa araw. Monday is blue. Tuesday is Red. Wednesday is white. Thursday is Dark Pink. Friday is Yellow.

It was a rainy afternoon when I received a text from Zhy na magkita daw kami sa lobby ng pinag tra-trabahuan ko. Sinabi niya saakin kung anong oras siya nandoon para alam ko kung anong oras ako bababa. Aniya ay saktong pag out ko raw.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit excited akong matapos ang trabaho ko pero no'ng natapos na at papasok na ako ng elevator ay halos umatras ako. Tinukso pa ako ni Jia na nagmamadali raw ako! Nang makita ang sarili sa repleksyon ng salamin ay may naalala ako. The memory of me kissing Zhyken on the cheek flashed back in my mind. Mamula mula tuloy akong lumabas ng elevator.

I immediately saw him sitting on one of the couch. Naka pang dekwatro ang upo. He was wearing a blue long sleeve button down polo tucked in with his black slacks and a black leader belt. A ghost of smile was plastered on his lips when he saw me surveying his look.

" How's your day? " he asked and he give me a kiss on my forehead.

I saw a lot of people looking at us so I had to drag him out of the building. He can easily catch people's attention just by standing there or sitting!

" Why are you here? " I asked back.

" Answer my question first. "

" Fine , you? "

" Fine , too "

Nagsalubong ang kilay ko. " Bakit ka nga nandito? "

" Because we are going to meet my parents. They want to meet you. " hindi siya makatingin saakin.

Nagulat ako sakaniya at nagsimula na akong kabahan. " Gagi , bakit daw? "

Nakita niya siguro kong gaano ako kakaba kaya hinawakan niya ang kamay ko at pinisil 'yun.

" I don't know maybe because they want to meet my girlfriend. " he smiled to tease me.

" But we're not in a serious relationship! We're just acting! "

I saw how his emotion change from being playful to being cold.

" They knew about it. " his voice is so cold.

" They , what!? "

He sighed and he just gestured me to get in the car so I did.

Hindi ako makapaniwalang alam ng magulang niyang nag pre-pretend lang kami and yet they're still inviting me for a dinner!?

I was zoning out when Zhyken started the engine.

I was so nervous , my hands are shaking and I'm sweating bullets. Zhyken kissed the side of head hoping that it will ease my nervousness and then he held my hand and slightly squeezed it.

" Hey , it's fine. " he whispered.

I inhaled my breath before exhaling it and whispering some comforting words to my self.

Their house are some kind of modern , it's quite big and the interiors are great. Well , their son is a well-known architect. Imposible namang hindi ganito kaganda ang bahay nila.

Nang makapasok ay hinila niya ako papuntang dining kung nasaan ang family niya. Nakahinga ako ng maluwag ng makitang tatlo lang ang nasa dining area. His mom , dad and his little sister. I awkwardly gave them a small smile. Lumapit saakin ang mommy niya dahilan mas lalong pag usbong ng kaba ko. Nakipag beso siya saakin atsaka ako sinenyasang umupo. Ipinaghila pa ako ni Zhy ng upuan dahilan ng pagtuon ng atensiyon nila do'n.

Shit!

His dad just gave me a nod. I look at her little sister who's obviously a brat. She's wearing her maldita look. I nod at her and gave him a small smile but she just ignored me.

Nagkatinginan kami ni Zhyken at sabay na natawa. Tama nga siya.

" Zhyra! " saway ng mommy niya. Nakita siguro ang ginawa saakin.

" No worries they got the same attitude. " si Zhyken dahilan ng paglaki ng mata ko.

Gago!

Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin ngunit nginisihan niya lang ako.

" Oh , " his mom then look at me and then to Zhyken.

His sister was just observing me. Akala ko tatarayan niya ako. I was so shocked when she smiled at me.

Lumapit saakin si Zhyken at bumulong. " She likes you now because you got the same attitude. "

Tumawa ako. " Meganon? "

We started eating silently when his mom talked.

" So how's your relationship? " tanong niya. Halos masamid ako sa kinakain ko kaya inabot ko ang tubig.

Nakahinga ako ng maluwag ng sagutin ni Zhyken ang tanong ng mommy niya.

Akala ko ba alam nila!?

Gosh this is so awkward.

" Doing fine , I guess. " si Zhy.

His dad raised a brow. " Still has no development , Riz? "

" Meron na. " makahulugang sabi ni Zhyken.

I looked at him with my brows furrowed but he just gave me a playful wink.

" Dapat lang , wala sa dugo natin 'yan. Ang pangit ng strategy mo. " his daddy laughed.

I can't understand what are they talking about!

I look at Zhyra when I heard her laugh.

" Ang bagal kasi ni kuya , e. Mas mabagal pa sa pagong. " she said.
