39 - Being a date of Diane Martinez

October  26, 2019

Sander checks himself at the mirror for a hundred times. He frowns at the view he sees. He wears the expensive white tux na binili ng boss niya. Then he feels so gay for checking his reflection over and over. Until his phone rings..

"Hindi ka pa ba tapos d'yan?!"

"P-palabas na ako, miss!" Mabilis na sagot ni Sander sa kanyang cellphone. Bakit  kinailangan pang tawagan siya ng kanyang boss, nandon lang naman siya sa kabilang room? Minsan talaga ang boss niya ang gulo kausap..

Tinignan pa niya ang kanyang suot ng huling beses sa salamin bago pa tuluyang lumabas mula sa kanyang suite. Agad siyang kumatok sa pinto ni Diane.

"Alex.."

Sander sees Diane in a long strapless sparkling velvety red dress and a pair of pearly white stilettos. The dress has a huge slit on the left side, showing much of her leg.. and thigh. Not to mention the upper part, showing much of her cleavage too, as it is very open on the chest portion, obviously. Sander shifts his gaze on Diane's face, her makeup made her look so seductive. Pa-simpleng nakalugay ang kanyang buhok, just slightly curled on the tips. But she looked even hotter. Nagdala ba siya ng mga stylists sa room niya?

"Done checking me out?"

These were one of the moments when things seemed in slowmo to Sander. Halos nakalimutan rin niya na boss niya sa trabaho itong magandang nilalang sa harap niya.

"Magandang gabi, Miss.."

"Hindi mo man lang ako i-co-compliment matapos mo akong i-scan from head to toe?"

"A-ang ganda n'yo po.." Pakiramdam ni Sander naubos laway niya kaya tumuyo bibig at lalamunan niya bigla. And he wants to scold himself for staring too much at her breasts. Boys will always be boys.

"Mag-compliment na nga lang napilitan pa." Sabi ni Diane sabay irap kay Sander. "Ba't ba ang tagal mo, para kang babae magbihis."

"Tingin ko kasi.. Hindi bagay sa'kin ang suot ko. Mukha akong patay."

"May patay bang nakasuot ng ganyan? Come on, you look like a real prince to me."

Real.. prince? After hearing such rare compliment, lumipad ang kaluluwa ni Sander. Pag si Diane Martinez ang nagbibigay ng compliment tiyak na totoo yan and that, she really means it.

Biglang na-weirdohan si Diane dahil nakatitig nalang si Sander sa kanya, with glitter in his eyes. "What? Anyway, whatever. Let's go."

Nasa likod niya si Sander nang lumakad na sila kaya huminto siya at liningon ang kanyang assistant. "Wag mo nga akong buntutan. Ikaw, para kitang alalay. Dito ka nga. Isipin mo parang Met gala ng America ang party na pupuntahan natin."

"Kinakabahan ako, Miss D."

"Para hindi ka ma-awkward, wag mo munang isipin na assistant kita."

Standing on Sander's right, she clings her hand on his arm, her other free hand on her white purse.

"Remember, you are my date tonight."

Later sa actual party..

"Wag ka ngang masyadong ma-tense. It's just a party."

"Elite party 'to, Miss. Lahat ng tao dito may kaugnayan sa accommodation businesses. First time kong mapaligiran ng mga ganitong mga klase ng tao." Pagbubulungan nilang dalawa habang nasa gitna na ng mga guests. Nakahawak pa rin si Diane sa braso niya. "At tsaka may mga taga media pa."
