Andrea Salvador

flashback

My friends have been debating on which dress to wear and finally, they came to s conclusion. I'm putting on a high-waist blue pencil slit skirt with a matching blue crop top. I slide my legs into the matching shoe Celine specially bought for me on her way back home. It was beautiful silver 5 inches heels. They helped apply a little powder on my face, rubbing a little lip gloss and eyeliner, I walked over to the mirror and smiled proudly at their work.

I look so beautiful. So simple and elegant. I told them I do not want heavy makeup and I'm glad about the outcome.

"My goodness, Andrea!!". I heard them both exclaim happily behind me. I turned around slowly and saw them already looking at me proudly and smiling at the same time.

They look so happy. I twirled and smiled. "I guess, someone like what they see"

"Like is an understatement, we love what we did! You look astonishing, I can't believe we did this"

"No, you guys only helped out but, my goddess body did the work" I said cockily making them roll their eyes at me before we all burst out laughing.

Celine twirled me around for the second time again and smiled. "Once Francis sets his eyes on you in this dress, he's surely going to lose his mind." She said as both Janet and I chimed in with her, with our heads bouncing affirmatively.

"Oh my goodness! Talking about the devil, he's here!" Celine exclaimed excitedly as she looked through the window.

I checked myself one more time in the mirror, picked up my silver clutch, and ran out of the room hurriedly to see my prince charming.

I walk down the stairs slowly with Francis's gaze fixed on me. At a moment, I began to feel uncomfortable under his gaze. The way he looks at me right now, I feel like he wanted to rip off my dress with those sexy, dark eyes of his.

"Hey" I said softly.

"Hey" he said breathlessly. "Yo.. you look so beautiful" he added before placing a kiss on my cheek and then my lip.

"Thank you, handsome. You're not looking bad yourself"

"Shall we?" He stretches out his hand to me.

"Sure!" I smiled and placed my small hands in his. We were both about to walk out of the house when we heard Celine's loud voice behind us.

"Guys! Use protection!"

Francis and I looked at each other and smiled before he said to her "Shut it, Celine!" And then, we walk away.

He opened the car door for me like the gentleman that he is and I hopped in. He walked to the other side, hopped in too and ignited the car engine and drove off to God knows where.

"Where are we going to, Francis?" I asked.

"That's for me to know and for you to find out my love" he answered and threw me a sexy wink. I shook my head and smiled. Afterward, a comfortable silence took over us as I relaxed and allowed him to take me to where he had planned for us.

•

We just arrived at the place he brought me to and I admit, it looks so beautiful. I know about many restaurants but, I've never heard of been to this place. How he comes to know about this beautiful and calm place still amazes me. "Francis, what are we doing here and how did you get to know this place?" I asked as I keep looking around and admiring the exterior of the building. I really can't wait to see what the interior looks like.

"Don't say a word beautiful. Tonight is for the both of us to have a wonderful time together and I promise that you're going to like it"

"No, I have this feeling I'm going to love it." I said, smiling. He stretch out his hand to me again and I slowly placed mine on his. With our hands tangled together, we both walked in and I gasp. The interior looks more beautiful than the exterior.

But something else caught my attention. I realized no one is here except the staff. I turned to look at him and he smirked. "You crazy man! Don't tell me you booked the entire building tonight?!"

"Anything for you beautiful" he said and winked at me again. I shook my head and smiled a little before we both make our way to our seats.

I was still admiring the view, smiling uncontrollably like someone who has just won a lottery when a waitress arrived to take our order.

"Hello, handsome." She greeted Francis, sexily. I threw a dagger glare at her. She's putting on a very tight white t-shirt and a tight black skirt which is just two inches above her knees. Her breast almost fell out of her shirt... I wonder if this is a restaurant or a club?

"Hey, beautiful."

I looked at Francis in horror. He did not just flirt with her, did he? The idiot is enjoying every bit of the attention he's getting from her.

Brute!

"What would you like to order?" She bites her lip sexily again.

Hello! I'm here, I'm not invisible, am I?- I wanted to scream out.

"Well, I haven't made a choice yet but, you can ask what she would love to have instead" He said, pointing at me.

Finally! She realized someone was here with him. She turned around to face me but the look she gave me was nothing but that of garbage.

"What would you like to take?." She asked in a flat tone.

"I'm not hungry and I do not wish to take anything from you. Maybe you can help by trying to prevent your breasts from falling out of your chest. It doesn't look that sexy, you know" I smiled innocently at her as I said that. From the corner of my eyes, I could see Francis chuckling.

"You bitch!!!" She tried to slap me but I was quick to stop her. I held her hand tightly before I roughly shoved it away.

"Don't you dare think about doing that to me! I have a very sharp and long nails you know. You wouldn't want to lose this beautiful face because of my nails, would you? Just a scratch from me and you're going to hate it. Only surgery will get you out of it. Now, get out of my sight" I pushed her away roughly and took my seat back.

The girl muttered something before stomping away angrily. Well, I don't care. As long she doesn't say it to my face.
