Chapter 17

THE DAYS passed without Trisha noticing.

Every day was a new day for her.

She felt different.

She felt at ease with Gray.

Her mind was at peace.

She no longer thought about Aaron.

She was happy every day.

With every minute she spent with Gray, she was always smiling.

Gray made her laugh with every silly thing she did.

They made love every night, every day when they were left alone in the penthouse.

Gray was the one she was always with wherever she went.

Gray had become her constant photographer wherever they went sightseeing.

She got to know Gray better and she was not shy to show Gray who she was.

When it was almost time for her to return to Manila, because her vacation was ending in two days,

She asked Gray to accompany her shopping for souvenirs.

Gray took her to ION Orchard to shop.

While she was inside Charles and Keith looking at bags, Gray excused herself to go to the restroom for a while.

She agreed.

But after half an hour, Gray hadn't returned yet.

She was starting to wonder.

She had already paid for the handbag she chose, but Gray was still not back.

She was about to leave the store when Gray suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Sorry, love. The restrooms were crowded." Gray said, still sweating.

"Do you have a stomach ache?" She asked Gray.

They hadn't eaten lunch yet.

"Sort of. Sorry. Have you finished shopping?"

"Yes. And I'm hungry." She replied.

"Let's go down to the food court. What do you want?"

"Chicken rice, please. I really loved the chicken rice in Singapore."

Gray laughed.

"I know, right? It's cheap and delicious."

They walked to the food court. They even passed by the MRT station inside the mall.

They rode the escalator down to the food court.

"What are you going to eat?" She asked Gray.

"You." Gray answered immediately.

"You can eat me later, love." She told Gray.

She loved seeing Gray excited when the topic was about her favorite thing.

"Then, I'll just have chicken barbecue and salmon soup. And you'll be my dessert."

She laughed.

Gray suddenly kissed her on the cheek.

"Hmm, your laughter turns me on, love." Gray whispered.

She just shook her head.

When they got down, they could see the mall's food court right away.

They immediately chose what to eat while continuously talking. Even while they were eating, they didn't stop talking about all sorts of things.

When Gray was with her, they never ran out of topics.

"Love, I'll be accompanying Aunt Irene later. She said she needs to pick up something at her coworker's house."

"Okay. What time?"

"When we get back. Dad won't be home until later from Germany."

"I won't go with you. I still need to arrange the things I bought." She said.

"You'll be alone. Are you okay with that?"

"Of course. You'll only be gone for a short while, right?"

Gray nodded.

After they ate, they shopped a bit more before going home.

TRISHA WAS packing her suitcase when she heard someone arrive.

She thought Gray and her aunt had returned so she immediately went out of the room.

But she was surprised to see a tall brunette standing in the living room. The woman was still holding her luggage handle.

"Excuse me?" She said to the woman, thinking she might have entered the wrong unit.

The woman turned to her.

She took off her sunglasses and looked at her from head to toe and back again with raised eyebrows.

She suddenly felt small seeing how sophisticated the woman was in her actions and attire.

The woman was very beautiful.

It was as if she had just come out of a hair salon with her hair so well-styled.

She was already tall and the high heels she was wearing added to her height.

She, who was barefoot and wearing sweatpants and a t-shirt, looked like the woman's assistant.

"Hi." the woman said with a smile.

And even her smile was perfect.

"Hi." She replied.

"I'm sorry, but who are you?" The woman asked.

"I'm Trisha."

"Trisha? I haven't heard about you from Gray. Speaking of Gray, where is she?"

She was annoyed at how the woman questioned her.

"She's not here. May I know who you are?"

The woman walked towards her as if she was walking on a runway.

"I'm Natalie, Gray's fiancé."
