Chapter 3

chapter 3

Morning! My morning is beautiful. Just kidding. I went to MoonVenus to visit Aunt Mira. She is also my godmother in marriage and I am really close to Rowin's mommy. When I was young, it treated me like the youngest child. Because he was not blessed with a female child.

"Aunt!" He greeted me with a tight hug. I hug back here. Aunt Mira still looks like a child. Its smooth skin is still beautiful and does not fade

"Oh Sweetie, do you know that I missed you so much, And Look at you...." She even covered her mouth in joy. "You are so Beautiful Nyda! When did you learn to dress up? Dress up!? It seems like just yesterday you were Maria Clara" She looked at me from head to toe. Yes I've changed actually. I learned to take care of myself and obey the Head. My life was like a princess before, but now I want to take care of myself and move according to what I want

"Aunt, of course I'm getting older. I'm a certified Woman now." I promise here.

In the meantime, Tita bid me farewell to attend to the sudden arrival of her guest. I was left at the table near the window. Aunt also served me cake and drinks. I stared at the window. It seems as if the Landscape and surroundings of California are in front of me. Now I'm finally home. And everything has changed.

"It's like that when you come home. you seem to be changing." I turned to the voice I heard. I saw the man smiling at me. He has a gentle face, sharp features like a foreigner but beautiful eyes.

"Evesdropping is rude." I glared at him. But he kept smiling at me "Can't help it." He pulled out a chair and sat in front of me. Is it bad? You didn't say it was okay for him to sit, right?

"Jero. Jero Benitez. I'm a member of the regular band that plays here every night" Introducing it. You suddenly become speechless. Have I asked?

"Nyda." I say this sparingly.

I ate the cake and drank the cocktail drink that Tita gave me. From the Glass window I saw Jake get out of his car with Luke. I was turned upside down. I immediately went to the front and met them

"Hi Tri-Jakeee!!" I came here and hugged his arm. why is that what I'm saying!

"Oh Good morning you're going to miss me? I'll report you to Tyron do you want?" He looked down at me because he was taller and I looked up at him. Jake's pogi. That's why there are so many who stumble here. the type with a squint in his eyes.

"I'm on my way home, I'll pick up Grae later." I pouted. Jake looked away and his smile widened "Strangely your cute lips still work on me. Okay fine I won't report you! You really haven't grown up yet!" It squeezed my cheek. I feel like I'm blushing! I turned to Tristan, he wasn't looking at us, but that was bad, didn't he put up with my beauty? Oh My, I don't know if this headache is normal or not

"Oh? Are you a taxi?"

"Yeah maybe..."

"Luke? Why don't you take her home now? to make sure this lakwatserang will not go to another place. I'll just wait for Rowin and the others. Rowin and I also have something to talk about. I'm glad he caught up here. Take my car." Then he threw the key. Jake turned and winked at me. Jake and his cleverness. I was secretly happy. He's really good

Meanwhile I noticed the opposition that Luke felt. He took a deep breath and looked at me. I followed him outside. I stifled my smile. I was staring at his back. The pogi is behind him. What a town!

"Get in." he opened me up. I bent down to enter. I watched as he turned around to sit in the driver's seat. He drove the car quietly. Not even looking at me!

"21 That's still delivered"

"I didn't say anything, take me.."

"Do I have a choice?" we were both silent. He just keeps driving but I don't know how handsome he is to drive? He can be a car model promise!

"We're just fuel."

We stopped at a Gasoline station, what's wrong with that, right? Just kidding. smile now :-)

because I was hot, I got out of the car. Luke was talking to someone on the phone, so I just waited for the car to be serviced for fun! Just kidding again. Why do I seem to have a hard time paying attention to Luke now?

"Hey, your boyfriend?" A man approached. as long as he's a man, he's handsome, that's the period

"Not yet." I shook my head. He grinned "He has the courage to wait for you."

"He's hard to tame. Believe me." We both laughed. "Okay See you around" Letting it go. Did I see Tristan staring at me? Or in the car?

"Come in" he ordered. Very commanding. I went inside. I was even surprised when he slammed the closed car shut, what was that? Does it make me angry?

"It's your problem?" I yelled at him but he just drove his car and ignored me.

"Hey Tristan why? What's wrong?"

"You! I have a lot of things to do but here I am. I'm babysitting a 21 year old woman."

"You really blamed me. As I have said Mr. Villiarde, I didn't say anything, take me!"

"Urghh! Just Shut Up Okay!" My eyes really widened at what Luke asked me. Are we aligned?

I feel sad, But I shouldn't be. Things are really changed. When I was in high school, he used to fight to pick me up and take me to Kuya or Jake. Jake and Rowin are my guardian angels to them. if I'm doing something they cover me up from Kuya. as well as my feelings for Luke. They also hid me and they secretly conspired sometimes to make an alone time with Luke. Now Luke seems to have changed a lot.

When we reached my condo, I jumped out of the car. I slumped my shoulders and went to the door

"Hey Nyda... I'm--"

"Apology accepted." I craned my back to see him.

"You're mad at me because you don't want to be with me. You're mad because you shouldn't be obligated to take me. Okay, okay Luke. Hate me all you want for all I care.." I hissed. he shut his mouth and stepped closer to me

"What were you talking about that guy? ?"

"Huh? WHO?" He stepped closer to me. My heart beat faster. but I tried hard to stand straight and faced him. It's hard to be sane at a time like this

"We were just talking. I don't randomly flirt." He stopped approaching me

"Nyda. We have to be cool."

"About what?" He glared at me. It's like I'm melting in his eyes. That's when I realized how much I missed him. How much I miss seeing him again every day

"Us.I don't want you to repeat some mistakes in the past. I'm hoping everything has been taken care of."
