AN:

Thank you so much sa magandang feedback sa prologue ng story. And as promise, here's the first ever chap of Dealing with Mr. Ice. Maiksi ulit pero sana magustuhan nyo.. Enjoy!

 

Clarisse's POV

And here I am, staring at the perfect couple in front of me. May kapangyarihan yata itong si Tanya dahil mukhang alam na nya na darating ako. Oh well, medyo na-surprise din naman sya ng makita ako sa doorstep nya kanina. But seeing those foods she just prepared, I should give her a commondation...

"Wala ka pa rin kupas sa pagluluto, Tanya. I just wished I have the same skills like yours...", I swallowed another bite of my food. "Pwede bang magpaturo sayo?"

"As if you dont know how to cook. You're not like Charlie naman no? Sya kasi wala na talagang pag-asa matuto..", natawa ako sa sinabi ni Tanya. I wonder what will be Charlie's reaction kung sakali man na nasa harapan namin sya ngaun. I'm sure she'll never get tired of throwing daggers at her best friend.

"Ikaw talaga, kahit kailan walang pinagbago ang kapilyahan mo...", Andrew pulled his wife and gave a soft kiss on her forehead. How I love watching these lovebirds being sweet with each other. Tuloy, naimagine ko... Ganyan din kaya ang magiging buhay may-asawa ko?

"Ano ka ba, hon? Baka naman ma-OP si Clarisse nyan... Anyway, how's your lovelife pala, girl?", i almost rolled my eyes.. Why does everyone I met always ask about my lovelife? Like as if, they were telling me na panahon na talaga para lumagay ako sa tahimik.

"Loveli----"

"Oh! I remember Ice... What's the score between the two of you?", I frowned as Andrew asked that. Ang mag-asawang to talaga, wala na yatang alam kundi ang mang-asar!

Just then I remember that guy... I remember how we managed to treat each other after that accidental meeting inside the plane.

And suddenly, flashback came rushing thru my head again...

Matapos namin magpalitan ng ngiti, kanya kanya na kami ng baba sa eroplano. Nagulat na lamang ako ng may biglang nagsalita sa tabi ko habang nasa tapat ako ng conveyer belt at naghihintay sa maleta ko.

"So you're Clarisse right?", wala sa sarili akong napalingon. Though kahit hindi ko sya tingnan, kilala ko ang may-ari ng boses na yun.

Anong problema nya? He already called me by name earlier. Why does he have to ask my name again? Is he insane?

But then, I still smiled and nodded.

"Yes...", pasimple ko syang pinagmasdan.

Wala pa rin kupas ang kagwapuhan nya. Through all these years, wala syang ipinagbago. Parang mas naging attractive pa nga sya. Mas manly ang dating nya kumpara noong huli ko syang makita sa dinner namin with Andrew and Tanya sa Guillan's many years ago.

Oh gosh! Manly? Where on earth did I get that kind of adjective to describe him?
