Midnight Memories

Blanket Kick Pt. IV

A/N: The outline for this story is almost already finished, I just have to find the time to write the rest of the story as my classes end in July and I'm not even sure if I'll be extending another year in college or not. I'm barely hanging by the thread right now so I can't really focus on writing. *Sad girl mode: ON*

Talo ko pa ang nag-hiatus kasi I haven't been posting in months. I sincerely apologize. I don't even have a valid reason, I just couldn't post because I have no inspiration and I think at some point I even already have lost the will to write, KASI NGA WALANG INSPIRASYON (di na sapat si sugabby at torong at si omiomi at si akaashi huhuhu), and now here I am, finally putting my act together and wrote down this chapter.

Anyways, I hope I can finish this na! Dedicated to yournameisred bih so sorry huhuhu

IT'S EXACTLY A WEEK BEFORE my lolo's big day and I was left with still so many things to do.

I am in no way on par with a real events organizer's talent that's why I specifically hired the famous Lex Pineda-Mittenaere the job of organizing lolo's extravagant birthday party but I still wanted every other decision to go through me since I'm particular when it comes to that. Barely has there been any grand celebrations within the family because we mostly like to keep it lowkey even if we have the means to back it up but this incoming celebration is one of those rarities that shouldn't be missed.

Still, even with so many things left on my to-do list, I am still performing my duty as tito Lukas' future fiancée.

The ever-present Aria Edeline Imperial, that's me, stalked the lobby of QuiPEI like I owned the place after giving the valet my car keys. I had no intention in bringing a bodyguard today but Suarez and Gonzaga, technically two of my lolo's bodyguards who goes by their surnames instead of their real names, still accompanied me all due to my lolo's occasional paranoia. These two big guys had been with the family for almost four years and lolo really trusts them with every fiber of his being.

Pinagtitinginan ako ng lahat ng empleyado ni Lukas pagpasok ko. I usually arrive rather late on most times kaya wala na akong masyadong nakakasabay na tao sa lobby pero ngayon, I'm actually a few minutes earlier kaya maraming tao, mga taong mukhang ngayon pa lang ako nakita.

I smiled to myself as I greeted each one that greeted me first. They sure know how to flatter the future Mrs. Samonte de Tavera.

They don't really know who I am, maybe aside from a few others who knows me through IG and assumed what kind of family I belong to, but it looked like I've made my point with my burgundy suit partnered with a silky white cami. I wore a burgundy suede pumps and a jumbo Chanel Boy flap bag for my statement pieces of the day.

My laptop case is being carried by Suarez and my basura bag, a Valentino tote bag where I store all of my essentials and a lot of receipts from Starbucks, is being carried by Gonzaga. I usually carry all those on a daily but it's a good thing that the two are with me today because today's gonna be more hectic than usual.

I immediately went to the executive lift, not minding the stares of those just beside me. Nakatingin lang ako sa pulang mga numero sa taas.

I looked behind me and saw Gonzaga and Suarez standing quite far from me just as what I usually tell them to just to avoid intimidating other people kaya mukha lang akong mag-isang nakatayo dito.
