As we are now near to where we will be having a dine-in, I saw Laurene and Kevin when I suddenly roamed my eyes around--they are sitting not far from us. They are near the glass wall, at the tip. “Oh, uncle and aunt! Thank god you’re now here!” Laurene said delightfully when we are now in front of them. The one who accommodates us, Gin, probably hosts or staff gives us our seats. “Thanks for coming in here, ma’am, sir! Enjoy your meal and have a good day!” Gin said warmly with a smile at us, then he left. I greeted Laurene and Kevin as we were all now seated. Kevin shook his hands with me. “Oh, you’re Kevin right?” mom opened up a conversation as we were all facing each other. “Yes, Mrs...” he replied with a smile. “Andrea Valderrama..” mom abruptly added cheerfully. Until mom and Kevin shook hands and then they end it up. “By the way, this is my husband, Richard..” mom introduced dad to him then they shook hands also. “I heard a lot of good things about you, Mr. Richard. And i
“So you are Kevin Thomas? Laurene’s boyfriend?” after Sofia and Kade greeted us, Kevin take a look at Sofia when she called him. “Y-yeah. And you are Sofia? Lola’s cousin, right?” Kevin adjusted himself as he tried to stand up to shake hands with Sofia. They introduced themselves to each other. “Nice, to meet you, Kevin..” they are smiling at each other while they are at that moment. I heard Laurene intentionally cough making them stop shooking their hands. I tried to glance at Kade and he just heaves and sighed, avoiding his eyes and not looking at that part. “Oh, sorry for that..” I heard they just chuckled. Sofia diverted her eyes to look at Laurene for a second and I saw she tried to show her fake smile to her. Yeah, actually I know what Laurene feels right now, especially since Sofia is here. Speaking of Sofia--Yes, she doesn't like Sofia’s attitude. Even though Sofia is my cousin, Laurene told me before that she doesn’t trust Sofia as there’s a lot of things changed about S
I smirked as I mumbled to myself. “Don’t you want to join us?” mom frowned, wondering as Sofia and Kade were getting ready as looks like they really wanted to leave now. “Like what Kade said aunt and uncle--yes. We have to go to the airport now to pick up and meet Kade's dad...” she’s showing a pout expression and I know she’s just showing that so that she will look something pitiful. Tsk. What the heck! My god! I saw dad and mom glance at Kade who was just listening to Sofia and my parents' convo.“Is that true, Kade? Leon will come back here right now?” dad asked with a bit of astonishment, his figuring out it for assurance. “Yes, Mr. Richard…” he paused for a moment as he put his hands in his pockets. “I know why he just come back here because of his business. You know..” he rubbed now the back of his neck for a moment when he added that. “Oh, I see but that’s good to know! Besides, you’ll be with your dad again..” dad said with a smile. Then he took a glance at us one by one
I get outside of my car as I am already in the parking area. I just fixed myself and put the key to my car inside my bag. Afterward, I start to walk now going through the entrance of the mall. Yes--actually I decided to go here at this mall this morning as I’ll visit the orphanage that I was helping later. And speaking of it--I was looking for other orphanages that I wish to help other than the five orphan centers that I was still helping until now. While thinking about them, I noticed that I was inside the mall now as I passed the entrance. I feel like became comfy as I was inside. About why I am here right now, as a matter of fact, I came here as I am the one who wanted to buy clothes for them--for their personal stuff and buy something for the nuns who take care of those children. Before I came in first to the clothes shop, Aira Quinn, a sales assistant, greeted me. “Hi, Ms. Lola! Welcome to AV Clothes Shop..” she smiled as she gave me a gesture using her hand for me to come
Yes, I just want her to dine in food with me after I stroll myself alone here, and she wanted to be with me when I’ll visit later the orphanage center after strolling here at the mall. Ugh! But good idea? Right? And about also to my four silly friends--well, as I remember, they mentioned to me that they’ll just stay here in the Philippines for a month because of their businesses. Yes. It’s not about their men but they are finishing some stuff, that’s why they’re here. Recalling my exhibition, even though they did not come at that time, I am happy as I could still see my silly friends, without doing any effort just to travel for them outside this country. If you will ask me about this-Yes, I actually love traveling around the world but in the meantime, I feel like staying here in the Philippines. Of course. Maybe next time. As I paid the cashier for those schooling and drawing materials that I bought, using my card, I put them all in my cart from this store. I walked now outsid
“How's your shopping? Are you done with it?” I sipped chocolate chip frappe as my drink before I uttered a word to her. The same as what she was doing. “Well, I enjoyed it. Except..” I said reluctantly and a show that I’m not feeling well. “Except what? Don’t tell me you really enjoy it if I am with you while shopping?” she said and I heard a laugh coming from here. I gazed at her while raising my brows. Does she really think it is? My god! “Of course, not! I just really enjoy right now with you..” after I said that a bit sarcastic, I rolled my eyes and act like I’m hating her. I just sipped my cup of drink that I was holding in my right hand. And for a moment, I heard her again laughing in an evil way. What’s wrong with this girl? Maybe because she was hungry, she did not act normally. Ugh! The heck! After she laughed, I heard a silence between us. She was shaking her head and making herself calm. After a few seconds, I looked at her when I tilted my head to her. “What?” I sa
After a minute, Candice and Jane were now there. Our food was now assisted as it was now on top of our table. By the way--they informed us that they’ll just stay here in the Philippines for weeks, as Trisha, who owns VIP catering events, will open their branch here in the Philippines this coming week. Talking about this, Heaven decided that he wants Trisha to handle that event. He actually invited us for launching a product for his business. That’s why Trisha, Jane, Summer, and Candice stay here for weeks, probably because of that. Yeah, you know...I know this is one of the reasons also why they are still staying here in the Philippines because I know they are eager to see Heaven again. Damn! Maybe Heaven gives them a drug to take that’s why they’re like that. And well, I don’t want to open it right now because I know, we might spend the night here from where we are. Throwing those thoughts, I heard Summer open up something. “You know guys, I remember the last time we dine in he
“Thank you, Ms. Lola..” his warm smile showed me when I gave him a plastic bag that has personal stuff for their making art and necessary for their studies. “You’re welcome..” as I said that, the girl behind him stepped forward in front to take what I am giving. My friends--Trisha, Candice, and Laurene were busy talking, giving them their personal needs inside a bag. While Summer and Jane play with those children. After a minute of doing those things, we take our seats at the long table with sister Amy, and mother Isabella. “Thank you Lola for revisiting us again..” Isabella paused when she give me a look, her face seems so happy as I know I give hope again to this orphanage as I heard before that they don’t receive any support from the government because of having a problem with the government-making to postpone a weeks-giving the necessary things for the children. And it makes the foundation drags to close, besides, there’s a crisis right at that moment. Yeah. And as for my visi
