Daring to Date the Boss

Chapter Twenty-one

Chapter Twenty-one

If this was a dream, well, definitely, Monique didn't want to wake up. She slowly smiled. She had never been this happy. This happy.

Unti-unti syang lumingon sa driver's seat. Wow ulam. Ugh. Parang may pumupuno sa dibdib ni Monique. Bumaba ang tingin nya sa magkasaklop pa din nilang kamay ni Zaint.

Ay lecheng yan! Kinikilig talaga sya! Ang lakas maka-pbb teens nitong si Zaint. Paano ba naman, he didn't want to let go of her hands while he was driving. She bit her lips. Gavity.

"You're blushing."

Her eyes grew wide. She gasped. Nakakahiya nahuli nanaman sya nito.

"Hindi ka ba nahihirapang magdrive?"

He just shrugged tapos nasa pagmamaneho na ulit ang atensyon nito. Zaint is really the man of a few words. Minsan mas gusto nitong nagkikibit balikat na lang kesa magsalita, but mind you, kapag nagsalita naman ito may laman. Literal. Most often kasi sumisigaw ito at hindi nagsasalita.

Nagulat pa si Monique sa pagmumuni-muni nya nang magring ang cellphone nya.

"Hello Nique!"

"Ay shocks! Buti talaga tumawag ka. I almost forgot. Sige na, i'll go ahead. thank you!" Then, the line disconnected. Nanghihinang sabi nya sa kabilang linya.

"Who's that?" Kunot noong tanong into sa kanya.

"Ate champ. Natuloy daw yung lakad nya, niremind nya ako to do the grocery" At tinatamad talaga syang maggrocery! She extragerately gasped na ikinalingon ni Zaint. "Bababa na ako."

Instead na huminto, tinaasan lamang sya nito ng kilay. Ay wow. Parang walang narinig. Napasandal si Monique sa headrest ng passenger seat. At mariin syang napapikit then, Lord pahingi pa pong pasensya please.

Saktong pagmulat nya nang mata padaan sila sa isang mall. ZVA mall. New establishment. It was huge and big. Nagtataka lang sya..  What does ZVA stands for?

Pumihit sya kay Zaint paharap. "Can we go there?"

Poker faced, bumuntong hininga muna ito bago pumihit papunta sa mall. Alam nya, ramdam nya na napipilitan lang si Zaint na sumunod sa gusto nya. Nakikita nya ang paniningkit ng mga mata nito.

Pano kung sabihin nya kaya ditong nag-suggest si ate Champ na i-french kiss nya ito. Matutuwa kaya to?

"Anong gagawin natin dito?" His lips twitched at the corner in amusement.

"Malamang magsha-shopping." Hindi na nyang hinintay na pagbuksan sya ni Zaint ng pinto ng kotse dahil malaking himala yun pag nagkataon.

She heard his footsteps behind her. Tapos hinigit nito yung braso nya. "Bakit ka pa magsha-shopping? Didn't Champ told you to just do grocery? May pera kaba?"
