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

Kabanata 18

All I can say is wow.

Ares was wearing his tuxedo and he paired it with a red bow. I am so damn speechless while walking towards him, wala na din naman akong pake kung natutulala ako sa mukha ni Ares ngayon.

"Anak, tulo laway mo." papa joked but I ignored him, I still stared at his face for a while. We are actually staring at each other talaga, ramdam ko din na parang kinikilig si mama at papa sa amin ni Ares because I heard my mom giggled.

"You look great." I said, looking at his brown eyes. "No, great is an understatement. You look-"

"You're so beautiful." he said in a low voice. I don't know how to react. I swallowed the lump on my throat, he was looking at me intently and it makes my knees weak.

"Time check. 7:30 p.m." pambabasag ni mama sa moment. Lumingon naman kaming dalawa ni Ares sa kanya, she was smiling at us at kahit si papa na nasa tabi niya ay panay ang ngisi sa akin.

"Sorry po." Ares said, a bit shy of what just happened. "I'll bring back Nyx po before 11."

Tumango naman sina mama at papa kay Ares. I also bid my good bye sa parents ko and kissed them both on the cheeks. Mom even complained dahil may red stain na daw 'yong cheeks niya because of my lipstick.

When we successfully reached in front of our gate, hindi ko alam kung bakit tumigil kaming dalawa sa paglalakad kaya I felt the urge to look at Ares, hindi ako nakontento sa pagtitig ko sa kanyang mukha kanina. I want more of his face, I want more of him.

I was about to face him when our eyes suddenly met. It was like, he was also staring at me kanina pa. He cleared his throat and looked away.

"We should go." ani Ares and to my surprise his hands snaked around my waist which made me stop myself from breathing and all I can do is nod at him.

Natanaw ko agad ang sasakyan na dala niya. It was a different car na ginagamit upang ihatid at sunduin siya sa school and then it hit me, it is an Aston Martin One-77 for heaven's sake and this is one of the most expensive cars in the world!

He opened the front seat for me kaya di na ako nagdalawang isip na pumasok agad. As I made it inside, I can immediately smell a strong scent of a man's perfume.

It was Ares' scent and I can't help myself but to smile.

My thoughts broke down when Ares spoked. Hindi ko man lang namalayan na nakapasok na pala siya sa loob ng sasakyan.

"My mom gave this to me kaninang umaga lang." he smiled at me. I let my eyes scan the interior of his expensive car.

"Do you know how much is this?" I asked him.

I'm just asking.
