Fearless Love

Capítulo Uno

I sighed as I waited for her in this fine dining restaurant. Bakit ba ang tagal niya? Every minute of mine is precious.

Ilang beses ko na ring pinaglaruan ang water na nasa harap ko. When I got bored totally, I get my phone and I am going to dial Ivy's number when her face suddenly appears as she sat on the chair in front of me.

"I'm sorry. Traffic eh," Ivy said nang makaupo na siya sa upuan sa harapan ko habang ako naman ay inikot na lang ang beautiful eyes ko.

Hindi pa rin talaga nagbabago ang babaeng ito. Late pa rin dumadating kahit kailan!

"You know that I hate wasting my time and then late ka."

"Come on, Mavic! Loosen up a bit. Kararating mo lang dito sa Maynila," saad niya pagkatapos ay kinuha na ang menu na nasa table. After that, she said her order to the waiter.

"How's life?" tanong niya nang makatingin siya sa akin again.

"Well, I'm fine," bored kong sagot dahilan upang mapahalakhak siya.

"You know what, girl. I know na the answer to that," aniya dahilan upang mapatingin ako sa kanya.

"Shopping," she said with a big smile.

Umiling na lamang ako sa sinabi niya. This girl really knows me so well.

"Ano? Game? Bago ka ma-stress sa mga problema sa kompanya niyo," nakangiti niyang saad dahilan upang tumango na lamang ako.

Hindi pa nagtagal ay dumating na rin ang in-order naming foods, baby back ribs, ceasar salad and an orange juice for me habang pork tenderloin, oreo cheesecake and blue lemonade for Ivy.

"How's your kuya? Wala ba siyang balak na bumisita rito sa Maynila nang masilayan ko naman ang kakisigan niya?"

"He's preparing for his upcoming wedding," I simply answered before I sip the juice.

"So tuloy pala ang kasal?"

I rolled my eyes. "Seguramente, Ivy."

(Surely, Ivy.)

Tumango siya at nagpatuloy na rin sa pagkain.

"Are you excited on handling your parent's legacy?"

"Honestly, I'm not. Kainis din naman kasi si kuya. He should be the one to handle our company here yet he settles in San Diego."

"Girl, wala kang magagawa. That's what Franco wanted."

"I know right."

"Lovelife? Any news about it?"

I rolled my eyes once more.

"Oh. Wala pa rin pala," aniya pagkatapos ay humalakhak.

Sometimes, or should I say most of the times, nakakairita rin talaga ang babaeng ito. Porque't may love life, she's being an ass to me.

When we were done eating, we decided to went to the nearest mall to buy some new clothes. From clothes, bags to shoes, wala kaming pinalampas. When it comes to fashion, magkasundong-magkasundo kami ni Ivy. No wonder why we became close even though she became my enemy once. She's so inggit to me kaya before that's why she's always saying rude things to me.

But well, it's all in the past now. What's important is the present.

Why is shopping so therapeutic? Just seeing such pretty clothes is enough for me to feel excited.

After an hour of shopping, Ivy bids her goodbye dahil magkikita pa raw sila ng boyfriend niya.

See!
