Maybe, One Day (The Six Ladies Series #1)

Kabanata 17

30 minutes had passed at wala pa din akong may napili. I bet naiinip na din si Ares kahit nakaupo lang siya sa sofa na nasa likod ko kaya nga hindi ko siya nilingon, I was imagining kasi na if I faced him, he would transform into something scary.

"This is so hard." I mumbled, kahit ang ibang saleslady ay halatang naiinip na but they still managed to smile at me. I feel sorry for them, sorry na ang hirap kasi pumili.

Hindi ko na napigilan ang sarili ko na lumingon kay Ares and I was surprised when our eyes met. Is he watching me the whole time? I blushed at that thought but he quickly looked at away.

I caught you, moron!

"Ares." I called him but he didn't looked at me. Is he pretending ba na hindi niya ako naririnig. He's probably shy because I saw him looking at me which is okay naman, it was natural dahil maganda naman talaga ako.

and I'm not kidding.

I stared at the whole shop again and something caught my eye. It was a sleeveless, red assymetrical dress that hugs your body if you'll wear it na. It was beautiful at medyo revealing but keri ko naman 'yan.

"I'll take that." I pointed the dress. The saleslady immediately nooded and went straight to get the dress that I want. When she gave it to me na, I positioned it into my body and faced the mirror.

"Can I try this?" I asked. The saleslady nooded naman kaya agad akong pumunta sa fitting room to test it and bagay naman sa akin. It was like the dress was purposely made for me.

Lumabas muna ako sa fitting room para ipakita kay Ares ang napili kong dress. As usual, he was busy on his phone, I called him pero hindi ito sumagot na para bang hindi ako narinig.

"Ares!" I almost shouted at him. He faced me at tinago ang kanyang cellphone sa kanyang bulsa, he then smiled at me like nothing happened.

I rolled my eyes. "Is this okay?"

He surveyed me from head to toe, kumunot ang noo niya ng bahagya then rested his eyes on mine. His smiling face turned into frown as he looked at me.

"That's too much." he sighed. "You are showing too much skin."

I was stunned by his words, I don't even know how to react sa sinabi niya but all I can feel was this heart of mine na kanina pa nagwawala dahil sa bilis ng tibok nito.

"Turn around." he demanded, standing up from his seat and crossed his arms above his chest. I did what he told me then faced him again.

"Is it okay na?" I asked, medyo nawawala na din ang pasensya ko dahil sa kaartehan ng lalakeng 'to.

"It's beautiful as long as you'll gonna stay with me all through out the party." he frowned. I forced myself not to smile in front of him and quickly went back inside the fitting room para magpalit.
