~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~






as I went outside of the venture, I right away saw Iñigo leaning so casually on his 2011 Lamborghini Murcielago looking hot as ever in his casual navy blue button down polo

which he folded the sleeves of it so people with eyes, particularly women, could peak at his huge strong muscular biceps







“You! You didn’t even give me ample time to prepare!” I said as I smack his arm but he just chuckled at me as he enveloped me around his broad warm arms





hinalikan niya muna ako sa ulo until he rested his hands unto my waist






I could smell that faint aroma he just sprayed all over his shirt

“no need to do that, you’re still beautiful” he said with a sly smile painted all across his perfectly cult face






“AWWWW!! That is just so sweet of you guys!”  



We both turned our direction to the one who said that in an ever fancy high-pitched girly girl voice—it was Jesse as she was clasping her hands together while her eyes were twinkling in delight






then, Iñigo turned his direction to me to give me a “who-the-heck-is-this”look






ngiwi akong napangiti sa kaniya and said

“Babe, this is-----“





 I was immediately cut off by my words when Jesse rushed like a road runner to where Iñigo stood up and took his hand for her to shake endlessly







“I’m Jessica Sustiguer… 22 and a half, vital statistics 32-25-34.. yiie! And I’ve been dying to meet you since the first time I saw you on a GQ and Metro magazine!”

ang sabi niya with all the excitement she didn’t even dare to conceal







“Uhhh—yeah” is the only thing Iñigo could say as his lips turned into an awkward smile







“Let’s go?” ang sabi bigla ni Iñigo as he tried to escape the ,what it seems to be, never ending hand shake of Jesse







He wrapped his right arm around my shoulder, drawing me closer to his heart
“Its was nice meeting you, Jessica” he said as he opened his door for me to slid inside







Jesse wave at us but Iñigo never bothered himself to look back and to smile at her







“Man! That woman is weird and annoying! Who would be human enough to blurt out their vital stats to a complete stranger?!” he said as he frown 





“Hey! Be nice, she’s still one of your fans.. you know” I said while trying to hold my laughter just looking at how annoyed Iñigo was



“from the moment there, I thought she’s going to rape me” he added


I just rolled my eyes and said “If I know, you just love the attention”






“The only thing I crave for, want for and die for is …” he leaned casually at me as our faces were almost inseparable






“….the attention I get from you.. “  he added with all the sweetness in his tone as he kissed my forehead



My heart began to rise as it throbs crazily inside my ribcage



this reaction I thought as I closed my eyes





“Where do you plan on taking me?” I asked trying to divert the conversation while Iñigo’s eyes were now focusing on the road



“You’ll know it soon”








 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~








We arrived at this restaurant, which is far from the crowd and was tucked away in Yakal street in Makati.





The sign of the restaurant was not hard to see for it was planted right in front of the entrance.





“Carpaccio Ristorante Italiano” it read






The exterior design of it is modern yet classic and it actually felt like you’re in Italy.


The maroon bricks on the wall and humongous fountain right in front of the restaurant which highlighted the whole area as it gives a perfect ambiance of a modern-day date for couples






“Beautiful!” I said while I was still lingering my eyes to the frontal view of the restaurant



“Ofcourse ” He said while his eyes were still glued in front





I was awed the whole time I didn’t notice that we were now inside looking for a parking space.






“Finally!” Iñigo uttered in relief as he spotted a free space just between the black Volvo and the Maroon Toyota avanza





“You’re going to love their food especially Risotto Stile Liguria”
He said with all enthusiast visible to his eyes





He was about to turn the wheel and take that space when some Silver Porshe Carrera overtook and stole the supposed-parking space for us





 “Whatta--” He said as he slammed his hands on the wheels. Sa sobrang inis, he impatiently went off the car and slammed the door of it 






I followed him closely behind just in case, he’ll throw a trouble




Oh no, his temper sure is off this time I thought while I hurriedly stood beside him ready to stop in case it gets dirty





 



But instead of a man like what I’ve expect to come out from this Silver Porshe Carrera, it was a woman.. in her early 20’s wearing a leopard print v-neck blouse exposing a part of her cleavage..





she stood 5’8-almost-5’9 feet tall. A little petite but definitely has every curves that every man would surely work wonders in their manly desire. I looked at her intently and was intidmated by her very smooth-looking porcelain skin and her long slender shape-y legs






She turned around and laid her hands on her hips only to remove her Rayban aviator out of her eyes




She was gazing at us as her brows were pulled together in unison. Then she suddenly, smiled and to my surprise…..






“Iñigo?!” she said with all the amusement in her tone as she ran to Iñigo, give him a kiss on a cheek and hug him as tight as I could see





“Ken?” He replied back, pulling his self away from the embrace this woman was giving him





“Wow! of all places I could run into you” she smiled once more flashing her perfectly straight white teeth





and then her lips turned from a smile to “O” as she laid her eyes on me




“New girl?” she said as she turned her attention to Iñigo



“Ah.. Ken, this is my girlfriend Nina” he said as he wrapped his right arm around my tiny frame




“Nina.. this is Ken, a college batchmate, we attended Princeton together in New Jersey. She’s a friend”





“......with benefits!” and then she slightly giggled but she stopped when she noticed nobody was laughing at her sick joke but her







“Hey! That was funny!.. “     she winked at Iñigo then darted her almost-gray orbs on me as she smirked wider        


“….and true”





“Ken..”  Iñigo uttered as if warning this woman right in front of us not to spill something that shouldn’t be said



“Alright, Alright. Zipped” she said while she gestured herself in a imaginary zipper







then she turned her attention to me and smiled
a kind of smile that didn’t reach her eyes at all





I awkwardly smiled back as she took my hands and shook it
“Nice meeting you,Nina.. I’m Ken, Kendra Gainsborough”





and then a familiar phrase came back to me




Jesse drew her self closer to me and before she whispered into my ear, tumingin muna siya sa paligid. Checking out if may nakikinig sa near by vicinity


“and there’s this known international ramp model who was rumored to be his girlfriend”



napatigil ako, at bigla kong naramdaman ang unti unting paglumo ng pakiramdam ko. But I was curious, kaya kahit na pa ayaw ko nang malaman para hindi na ako masaktan, I still insisted



“who is she?” I whispered almost sounding like hoarse which is the sign that my lips refuses to utter
“She’s—uhh-- She’s Kendra Gainsborough, British-Filipina ramp model of Burberry”







“Kendra Gainsborough.. British-Filipina.. ramp model”


“Kendra Gainsborough..British-filipina” 

“Kendra Gainsborough…”
“Kendra Gainsbo.…”
“Kendra….”


“Ken…”




 Her name just kept on echoing inside my head while my heart began to palpitate inside. Then, a worried-troubled look was flashed from my face to Iñigo as I tighten my grip to his arm





“What’s wrong,Love?” he asked as he looked at me

“Let’s just dine elsewhere please”






I thought …but instead, of telling him that, I just shook my head and said nothing






“Good! Now.. mind if I join you, guys?” she asked. Iñigo stiffened his muscle and was about to utter… “Well actually----“



“Come on now, I’m starving!”








Then she turned on her wheels as walked like she was in runway on her nude pumps.



I slowly watched her from behind as she made her way to the front door, all heads and eyes turned to her direction.




Even those men who had a date right in front of them turned 360 degree, almost breaking their neck just so they could get a glimpse of the gorgeous lady coming to the door






“She would never take No for an answer, Honey. Im sorry” Iñigo whispered to my ear as he kissed my forehead and held unto my hands.






He squeezed it lightly and I looked up to see him smiling at me

my heart melted in the sight of his eyes darting into my soul





but that daydreaming, or rather night dreaming, had stopped when that woman turned around while she smiled at us, or maybe to Iñigo, and then she sweetly said


“aren’t you coming?”





UGH! I think im going to lose my appetite
