Us Again (Russo Series 1)

Chapter 3

Chapter 3

Pagkatapos naming maglunch ni David ay nagpresinta pa siyang ihatid ako sa bahay pero tumanggi na ako. Mamimilit pa sana siya pero pinaalala ko sa kaniya ang aming usapan na titigilan na niya ako.

Pagkadating ko sa bahay ay agad kong tinignan ang cellphone na naiwanan ko kanina sa kwarto.

Wala namang bagong text. Ang huling text sa akin ni Primo ay nang nag good morning siya.

I immediately texted him about earlier. I also waited for a couple of minutes for his reply but nothing came. I decided to call him but it just keeps on ringing. Maybe he's busy?

I checked the dress that I will wear tonight. Primo said he will pick me up by six so I still have time.

If you wonder why my mom's still encouraging me to date some of her friend's sons or whatsoever despite having Primo, it's because she thinks that Primo isn't good enough.

I actually don't get her logic about it cause Primo came from the same circle as we are. Although I don't really care about Primo and his family's status, it is very obvious that Mommy's reasons for not acknowledging our relationship doesn't have a basis. Russo's are well-known as one of the big fishes in the business industry. Even bigger than our name! Especially now that I think we're facing some crisis.

I've heard mom confronting daddy about some of his investments falling down. Although it isn't very obvious if I will based it on our current lifestyle, I am sure that those investments cost millions.

Daddy is known to be a big risks taker in the business, that's how he made a name. That's also one of the reason on how he got my grandparents approval to have my mom's hand.

But now, it seems like circumstances doesn't go to his favor.

After putting the last piece of my earring to complete my look for to tonight, I look at my self in the mirror to see my whole. The dress I'm wearing fits perfectly on my body, its elegant yet simple designs was on point. It revealed some skin on my back but not too much.

I already received a text from Primo but it's not a reply to my text to him a while ago. It's just to notify me that he's already on the way. And because of that, I can't tell if he's fine with it or not.

Just a couple of minutes later, Primo arrived. Dashing like a mysterious prince. I can't help but to stare at him a little more longer. He held out his hand for me to get in the car. I noticed how he looked at me as well but he didn't say anything, heck he's not even smiling at all.

"Thank you," I uttered as soon as I get in the car. Wala naman siyang sinabi. Sinara niya lang ang pintuan ng kaniyang kotse sa gilid ko at agad na umikot papuntang driver's seat.

Nanatili siyang tahimik habang nagmamaneho hanggang sa makarating kami sa isang restaurant kung saan kami unang nagdate noon.

"P-primo..." ako ng hindi na nakayanan ang pananatiling tahimik.

"May problema ba Primo? Is it about what I texted you this afternoon? It's just nothing Primo. I just agreed on to it so he'll stop bugging me," I probed and explained.

He shifted on his seat then looked at me darkly making it hard for me to swallow the limp on my throat.

"Don't do that again. I can deal with him the next time," he said seriously.

"O-okay, though there will be no next time. I assure you," I said nervously then smiled.

He breathed heavily then he reached for my hand and for a kiss.

"I'm sorry. I just don't want to see you with other man."

"I'm sorry too. Late ko ng nasabi sayo dahil naiwan ko ang phone ko sa bahay ng magpunta ko sa mall para magpaayos."
