A knocked from the door disturb from my reading, then I realized That I asked mom to let me know about Cedric's arrival. I looked at the clock and to my surprise, it's almost 6:30pm! I immediately open my door,
"Dear, your visitor just arrived. -mom said
"Thank mom, I'll be down in a while. I have to fix myself first..
"Ok, I'll be down there to entertain him.
"Thanks mom -but before I close the door mom suddenly says,
"Dalaga kana Talaga dear. Dati naglalaro ka lang ng Mga dolls o nagkukulong sa kwarto para lang magbasa, ngayon may Mga nanliligaw na.
"Mom! Tsk! Mga? Si Cedric lang kaya!
"Ok, ok. Now go and fix yourself. It's your first and official date. See you down stairs.
I nod and closed the door,
I picked my forever21 floral black chiffon dress and paired it with my black Valentino flats. When I'm satisfied with my look, I grabbed my LV purse and go downstairs.
Nang pababa na ako ng hagdan nang makita ko si mom and Cedric talking seriously, it's very different aura and it's way different from mom and chase approach. Nang makita ako ni Cedric ay Bigla siyang tumayo Sabay sabing,
"Hi there beautiful,
"Hello handsome.
When mom suddenly interrupt
"Ingat dear, enjoy your night and Cedric take care of my daughter.
"Thanks Tita,
"Yung Mga bilin ko Sayo Perez.
"Yes Tita, I will. And thank you for allowing me.
"Nah, it's always my daughter's choice not mine. Now, go ahead and drive safely.
"We'll go ahead mom - I said then kissed her but she suddenly whisper
"His handsome though, - she said and giggle
"Tsk!
Wow! Ano bang meron sa Mga lalaki Kung makapag palit ng sasakyan ay parang Mga Laruan lang, he's now driving a black dodge car which I know that cost a fortune same with the yellow Bugatti veyron of chase. Tsk! Rich kids. I'm into car also but I cannot afford that much expensive and I'm ok with my white Hyundai avante na regalo pa sa akin ni mom and dad when he's still alive Nung high school graduation ko.
"You're such a stunner Denise,
"Your self too CEej, mag salita ka nga ng Tagalog.
"Ahmm, I'll try. -he giggle
And it's my first time to hear the great Cedric John giggle, and I find it cute.
"Your adorable when you giggle.
"Your way more adorable when you refused my offer that night.
"Tsk! You still find me adorable even if I refused you?
"Yes, somehow I feel proud. I've never encounter a girl like you, your one of a kind Denise.
"Nah, do I have to feel flattered white your compliments mr.Perez?
"Haha you remind me of your mom. She called me that way.
"Yes, she knew your dad. They were together daw Nung recent business trip nila sa Singapore.
"She mentioned too.
I just nod and look the view outside. November na pala ngayon, isang Buwan na lang then another year comes.
"Gutom kana ba? -Cedric's Tagalog
"Hindi pa naman, now you got my attention. Your cute when talk Tagalog.
"Bakit Hindi ko pa ba nakuha attention mo before? - that's music to my ears! Ang slang Niya magtagalog oh my!
"Ahmm, siguro?
We stopped when red light shows, and he suddenly looked at me and hold my right hands.
"Your hand is too soft, and it perfectly fits into mine. Look!
"Tsk! Banat na ba iyan? Kikilig naba ako?
"Haha back to your humour again..
"You looked so happy CEej,
"Nah, I'm just happy that at last this is our first official date. Didn't you know I've been dying to ask you out many times? But you always refused.
"Didn't you also know that the last time I checked when you asked is that I'm busy coping up with my delayed subjects that I haven't attended because of the campaign.
"Yeah, I know. Kaya nga masaya ako ngayon na finally.
"Have you been into a relationship before CEej?
Suddenly his smile disappear and I can see something in his eyes,
"Sorry for my asking,
"No, it's ok Denise. Yes, twice.. First when I was in HS my first, I mean in everything I'm sorry. The second is this college but we didn't stay long about three months siguro.
"What happen?
"You mean the second?
"No both.
"The first, nakilala ko siya kasi she's half pilipina din and transferee dun sa school na pinapasukan ko sa states. We parted ways kasi I caught her sleeping with someone were in fact my nangyari na din sa Amin which were each other's first. -he said and looked at me with worried face
"Don't worry about me CEej, I'm open minded. We've study sex education kaya it's not that uncomfortable though I'm inexperienced. Now how about the second?
"The second lasted only three months, she cheated on me and choose her Italian boyfriend. Something had happened to us too, I'm sorry for being liberated. Kaya Hindi ako marunong manligaw and you challenged me.
"So you're challenged to the fact that it's your first time CEej?
"Yes it is.. Your really one of a kind Denise.
"You also have those flowering words that a woman can fall hardly, you have the power to have a girlfriend in just a snap..
"We're here Denise, - he said
I was too attached for his answer to my question ng Hindi ko napansin na nandito na pala kame. Wow! Shang rila makati.
"I reserved earlier, -Cedric said to the receptionist
"Your name sir?
"Cedric John Perez
Habang may pinipindot sa computer ang receptionist, Cedric suddenly hold my right hand and I feel the electricity again. Napatulala ako sa ginawa Niya and when I looked at him, he just shyly smile at me and just when the receptionist interrupt,
"Sir,ma'am table 202 and it's located at the second floor.
"Thank you -Cedric replied politely
He's still holding my right hand, nakakahiya kasi pinagtitinginan na kame. Is it how handsome he is that he can caught everyone's attention or Baka ako na Hindi appropriate ang suot? Nakakaloka,. Nang nasa loob kame ng elevator may dalawang hipon na kulang sa tela ang suot na tinging hinuhubaran na si Cedric, nang mapansin nilang nakatingin ako sakanila eh Bigla na lang nag ngiting aso na May rabies.
"Are you ok? -Cedric's whisper on my ears
Feeling ko lahat ng balahibo sa batok ko nagsitayuan.
"Yes I am -ganting sagot ko ng mahina
Nasa table na kame nang mapansin kong magka tabi lang pala ang Mesa namin pati iyong Mga hipon na kasabay namin sa elevator kanina. At hanggang ngayon they still looking at Cedric. Aba't Mga mahadera. I can't even blame Cedric for he his indeed a god. Ang hirap pag gwapo ang kasama,
"Hey, bakit naka simangot ka dyan?
Naka simangot? But I smiled Nung narinig ko ulit ang slang niyang Tagalog.
"Ang cute Mong mag Tagalog Perez.
"You asked me so I have to. Just for you Denise, just for you.
Nagsisilabasan na naman ang Mga mumunting kulisap sa aking Tiyan, nang ilapag ng waiter ang pagkain namin ay laking gulat ko ng makita ang pagkain Niya,
"Bakit puro damo sa iyo CEej? Kailangan mo din ng protein sa katawan!
"I think na adopt ko na ang culture ng states pagdating sa pagkain.
"Daig mo pa ako, dapat ako ang kumakain ng damo ikaw tong steak tsk!
Ang ginawa ko, Hinati ko ang stake sa dalawa. I'll give the other half to him and the other half is mine. Kinuha ko ang Plato Niya nilagyan ko ng stake at binawasan ang damo at nilagay sa Plato ko.
"Wow! Your impressive..
"See? That's how it is. Now let's dig in..
"Your funny -he giggle
Sa kabilang Mesa ng Mga hipon napansin ko ang pandidiring tingin nila sa akin. Like seriously? Eh mas mukhang nakakadiri pa sila sa akin eh.
"Not bad Denise, you always know how to make things better.
"Nah, don't talk when your mouth is full. Nakakabawas ng kagwapuhan iyan.
"Hahaha, your humour is such a turn on!
"Sarap ng steak nila CEej, pero Ayoko sa damo nila may kasamang sesame leaves. Napaka strong.
"Next time we'll ask them not to put the sesame leaves.
"Pero mas gusto ko ang mcdonalds and mang inasa
"Mga junk foods naman iyan Denise. You have to eat healthy foods.
"Hindi naman iyon junk foods Noh, Masarap kaya, try mo minsan. -then I remember chase
Napabuntung hininga na lang ako, I should go out with him kahit sandali but I refused not. Haiz silly Ian makes me feel guilty again. And I felt the unfamiliar feeling. At Bigla ko na lang inignore.
"Yes one day Itry natin.. -he replied
"Nakalimutan ko pa lang rich kid ka kaya Hindi mo alam ang junk foods.
"What did I say? Diba Sabi ko Itry natin?
Nagkibit balikat na lang ako and continue my meal.
Pagkatapos naming kumain at Konting kwentuhan ay napagpasyahan naming umalis na, nasa basement na kame ng parking area ng may nakilala akong bulto ng lalaki at babae na masayang nagkkwentuhan na patungo din sa sasakyan. That yellow Ducati veyron! And the sudden strike when I felt again the unusual and unfamiliar feeling but Cedric interupt,
"Denise? Hey. What are you looking at? -he said looking at the direction where I saw the two of them.
"Nothing CEej, I was just amazed with that car.
"Yes looks good, I believe that's Ducati.
"Yes, a Ducati veyron.
"Wow, your unbelievable even cars you know the name.
"Same passion I inherited from my late dad, but couldn't afford.
"Soon you'll have it, -then he guided me inside his dodge shot gun seat
So the Corrine girl was the first one who ride his new car huh. Oh gosh, bakit ba siya ang iniisip ko were in fact si Cedric ang kasama ko. Hai naku lily your just guilty!
"Can we at least stay in the park for a while?
"Oo ba, maaga pa naman.
After 30minutes of driving, we then arrived.
Nakaupo na kame sa bench ng may naalala si Cedric,
"Ahmm, wait here. I forgot something.
"Ok,
Tumakbo siya Papuntang sasakyan, how come he's still sexy kahit na tumatakbo siya? Oh gosh CEej, your such a turn on too!
"Here, this is for you babe.
Babe? Tsk! He then gave me A bouquet of roses, habang hinihingal sa pagtakbo.
"Thank you, they're beautiful.
"You're beautiful than those. -he said while taking off his jacket and put it on me then continue,
"Maybe you feel cold at least I have to cover your top.
"Thank you -I said
Napaka sweet Niya, mas Lalong turn on na naka puting shirt na lang siya. Iyong favorite niyang white v neck hand ford or sometimes dickies. And fitted on his built to add.
"I've seen you wearing white everytime..
"Yeah, I love white. Gusto ko kasing malo is Tignan.. Mostly I have whites.
"Yes I can see that. Don't you feel cold too?
"Hindi naman, mas malala pa ang lamig sa states kesa dito.
"Aw, your too cute with you slang accent CEej.
"And your way cuter wearing my jacket Denise.
We both stare to each other, nang makita kong palapit siya ng palapit sa mukha ko while his eyes staring my lips. Oh God is he gonna be kiss me? Will he be my first kiss? Then suddenly I closed my eyes, but
A ring from his phone that interrupt our moment, then I heard him curse like
"Shit!
I blushed and I feel ashamed.. My god nakakahiya! Na carried away ako! Oh lily saan na iyang Maria Clara Mong style? Eh Muntik kanang makipaghalikan sa lalaking iyan! -Sigaw ng utak ko.
"Damn, I'm sorry Denise. That's my sister.
"Ok lang ano ka ba! - I said when I revived my self from such a shameful act
"Let me take you home now my Denise, Tita will gonna kill me.
"Mom might probably joking at you. Ok let's go. -I said and stood up grabbing my purse and flowers
It took 30 minutes to arrived home for Cedric's driving slowly inside the subdivision.
"Thank you for this wonderful night CEej.
"Thank you also for giving me the formality Denise.
"I bet, I'll be the subject on Monday. Baka I bully ako ng Mga babaeng May gusto Sayo.
"That will never happen Denise, I promise.
"I wish.
Nasa labas na kame ng gate nang Bumusina si Cedric para signal ni Manong na I bukas ang gate, going inside ng makita ko si mom na prenteng nakatayo sa may pinto at tumitingin sa Amin ni Cedric ng naka ngiti,
"Hey love birds! How's the first date?
"Wonderful Tita, and as I promised your daughter is safe and sound.

And Cedric look at mom and she continue,
"Thank you for bringing her home safely! Ingat ka pauwi, till then!

He said, then turn his gaze on me.
"Mag ingat ka sa pag drive CEej, thank you kanina and for this -Sabi ko habang tinitignan ang bulaklak
"Your welcome, thank you also for the first wonderful night.
"Good night CEej, take care. See you around.
"Good night babe.
Then he's looking at my lips again and suddenly I blushed. Nakita kong palapit na ang mukha Niya sa akin and there he kissed me on my cheeks and whisper,
"I've been dying to kiss you the very first time I see, your lips is too inviting. And I can't get enough of it. But later babe, later.
Then he immediately ride on his dodge, but before he turn his engine he continue to say,
"My Denise babe, I love you!
Then immediately rushed his car out.
The feels! How is that? Speechless lily? Tsk. That's the effect that only the great Cedric John Perez can give to me. Indeed, unforgettable night.
When I get in, nakaupo si mama sa Sala at nanonood ng t.v when she saw me she immediately say,
"Lapad ng ngiti ah, nabibilang ko tuloy lahat ng ngipin mo dear.
"Mom!
"And why are you blushing?
"And you're teasing me!
"My baby is now a lady! Come here give me hug dear.
I immediately gave her a hugged and she eventually say,
"Is that his jacket? - she asked while looking on my back covered with Cedric's jacket.
Then I realized, I forgot to bring it back to him.
"Ay tanga!
Pinitik ni mama ang noo ko Sabay sabing,
"Ayan kasi ng dahil lang sa kiss pati ang jacket nakalimutan.
I blushed again and I feel ashame,
"Oh my god mom! Don't tell me you saw that!
