Chapter Twenty Three: This Version Of You

"Bakit ang glowing mo? Ba't gano'n?"

I rolled my eyes at Karine's words behind me, she's inside my office and I'm just out here checking my look and makeup today.

I have a quick lunch date with Felix.

We're both busy today, pero kahit gano'n gusto niya pa rin na magkaro'n kami ng panahon na magkasama at tsaka isa pa... nililigawan niya rin ako.

"May nakain ka ba? Or... is it because of love? Kasi mahal ka na niya, tagal mong naghinta—"

"I get it, Karine. Now shush, please." awat ko sa kanya.

Tinanggal ko ang tali sa buhok ko, I was thinking whether I should do a small ponytail or just keep it down. I still have short hai anyway, pero humaba lang nang konti.

"Maganda ka naman, Cerine."

"I know that, I just... I'm nervous."

"Nervous? You don't look nervous."

Yeah, she's right.

I'm more excited than nervous to be honest.

Excited to see him... ugh, I miss him.

We didn't see each other yesterday because he had to take calls for his father's firm, gano'n din naman ako kasi malapit na yung kasal ni Aster, but we talked in zoom yesterday.

Iba pa rin ang pakiramdam kapag kasama ko talaga siya.

"I just miss him, okay? Are you okay now? Porket nagseselos ka lang kasi may nakausap yung magiging asawa mo na ibang babae kahapon, nang-aasar ka nanaman." laban ko sa kanya.

"No! I'm not jealous."

"Yeah, sure. Leave me alone. He's almost here too."

Ikakasal na rin si Karine, malapit na.

But we do have to finish Aster's wedding first and then Karine can finally start choosing a date for her wedding with Zaiden.

Okay, I think I look good.

Inayos ko ulet ang buhok ko, I just let my hair down, I look great either way.

"I'm going."

"Okay, have fun. And use protection!"

Gago, gago talaga siya.

I gave her the finger and left my office. He sent me a text just to remind me that he's already here, waiting at the entrance of our building with his car parked, probably, baka may nagmamaneho sa kanya, ewan.

Medyo kinikilig ako kaysa ninenerbyos, I'm also a bit excited for sure because I get to spend time with him again.

I miss him and I can finally say that now.

I can say that at loud and I would not give a fuck.

Yes, malandi ako, matagal na 'kong malandi pero malandi lang kay Felix.

Gosh, I sound... ridiculous.

"Hello, Ms. Dixon." bati niya sa labas sabay tanggal ng salamin niya.

He looks so fucking good in prescription glasses, he does wear his glasses sometimes but damn it... now I want to scream and melt because of those glasses.
