Seducing My Ex-Boyfriend (On-Hold)

10

"Bihis na bihis. Sa'n lakad mo?"

Erina arrived just in time after ko mag makeup. Hindi pa ako makapili ng susuotin ko dahil kailangan maganda ako mamaya, noh. 

"Alin ang mas maganda?" I showed her a black fitted dress with sequins at isang tube type dress na flowing sa ibaba. 

Erina chose the free-flowing dress. "Sa'n ba lakad mo at ayos na ayos ka. Para kang pupunta sa date." I chuckled.

"I have a date nga." Her eyes widened.

"With whom? Harry? Malandi ka." She giggled. "Ayan, tama yang choice ko. 'Wag mo masyado paghandaan. Baka isipin niya kilig na kilig ka." I rolled my eyes.

"Kahit true naman diba? Kinikilig siya." She teased me kaya pumasok na ako ng bathroom para magbihis. 

After ko magbihis, hinatid pa rin ako ni Erina hanggang sa labas ng restaurant kung saan kami magddinner ni Harry. Kinikilig pa nga eh.

"Go for the gold!" She cheered me. 

It was a seafood restaurant. Thank God at hindi ako allergic sa seafood. 

Harry was waiting for me by the entrance door. 

"Ganda ah," bati nito sakin.

"Always," I said as we entered the restaurant. 

Pinaghila niya ako ng upuan. Wow, ang gentleman naman. 

"We'll have a bucket of shrimp, crab-stuffed mushrooms, and Garlicky Mussels." Sabi ni Harry sa waiter. 

"I'll add a Crab Cake Chipotle Caesar, please." Dagdag ko bago umalis ang waiter.

"Why all of a sudden are we having this dinner?" I asked him. Baka nakakalimutan niyang selos na selos sa'kin ang girlfriend niya. 

"You said it's a date." He corrected me. "Wala akong kasamang kumain, eh."

"Ah! So, option lang ako kasi wala ka lang kasama kumain?" I said in my mataray way. Though, I'm not hurt at all. 

He laughed a bit. "That's a joke. I'm trying to be friends again after what happened between us." 

I was really hurt after our break-up kaya umalis agad ako ng bansa. I don't want him so see me broken. Ayokong maawa siya sakin.

"It's fine. It's not your fault that you fell out of love, right? Normal lang sa tao na maramdaman yon." 

"Aren't you angry?"

"I was." I sighed. "But I'm okay now. I'm happy if you're happy." Nagulat pa siya ng bahagya nang sinabi ko iyon.
