Maybe This Time

Part 4

Sandros PoV

Nagsabi si Mang Ambo that his grand daughter was hospitalized kaya siya mag-aabsent muna.

Elisse was the one who brought his grand daughter to the hospital. I offered to pay her bills but Mang Ambo said Elisse covered everything.

She went back to her home town for the week to rest, she deserved it at the meeting she looked so tired. I hated the other doctor who gave her coffee and asked her out to breakfast was that the doctor that kept sending her flowers. Did she give him a a chance? Shit i think i really blew it. It was stupid of me to go out with Alexa that week when Elisse saw us. Alexa was just out there and horny, she was good in bed but she wasnt good at conversations.

Thats what its gotten me, I lost a chance with Elisse when she was giving me a chance. She was different. She made that clear.

Mathew and his Golf mate Arkin Chua were opening a car dealership this friday. Mr Chua closed down our club at the Hotel to have an after party for the VIP guest and other investors.

The gangs probably going to go.
We were drinking at the club talking about the upcoming event.
"Sandro who are you going to invite sa after party ng CHUA motors?" Mike asked

"None" i said. Staring blankly.

Everyone was chanting and howling like idiots
"Wala talaga pare?" Arby asked patting my back

" i think the only girl he likes now is the doctor who caught him with alexa" mathew said and they all laughed.

They all laugh at the stupidity of it.

"dr martinez is a catch, medyo conservative but shes a catch... sayang ka" arby sipped on his beer before laughing at me

I sipped on my drink, i know how stupid I was.

The day of the event came. It was a big event. It was my first time to meet Mr Chua and his wife.

"Congressman Marcos this is my wife Jody Echavez-Chua" she shook my hand. She smiled at me but continued to look around and greet other people.

Mr Chua was already giving his speech "my wife Jody comes from a family of over achievers,I can only be worthy to be part of that family, good thing I make an acceptable amount of money, doon na lang natin bawiin" everyone laughed at his speech

"Kidding aside my wife was the brains of this and she pursued me to do this" he went on about his wife

I wanted to have that, have someone challenge me and push me further. Then I thought about Elisse, when she said I should upgrade my taste in women. i cant get her out of my head.

i had to leave the event early to attend another engagement at another municipality but I promise Mr Chua and Mathew Id go to the party.

The club was strictly for invitation only. Only less than a hundred people were invited for exclusivity.

Mathew didnt bring his wife Carla since she was pregnant, and the boys were scouting out dates in the crowd. I just wanted to see Elisse again... and Just like that there she was....Elisse, walking towards our group. In the arms of another man. I was holding my glass a little too tightly i think it might break.

Mr. Chua stood up and greeted the both of them.
"This is my brother in law Lito Echavez and my cousin in law Elisse Martinez"

Elisse looked amazing and she was looking straight at me.

"Dr Elisse small world" Mathew chimed and gave her a kiss on the cheek, Arby and Mike followed.

I was stunned to see her, she was wearing her cousins blazer but she removed it and revealed a backlesss top and shorts, her face was all made up, she was like another person. She was looking straight at me and when she parted her lips, i was gone. I want her.. i want her now..
