Chapter Twenty-Six IX
Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale.
It is what Lander has been doing for minutes now in front of Celestine's hotel room. He's acting like a teenage boy who was about to ask his crush to be his date to prom. It's quite funny to think about that but this isn't the right time to chuckle at his made-up jokes inside his mind.
He inhaled and exhaled once again.
"C'mon, you're Lander Buenavista don't like act stupid," he scolded to himself before moving his hand to knock on the door.
He closed his eyes firmly before hitting his knuckles against the wall. In just three consecutive knocks, he heard the doorknob twisting inside. He stepped back and fixed his tie for the last time.
"Oh, hey," Celestine shyly greeted him. She is still on her crop top, jeans, and stilettos. She lost track of the time while crying a while ago that she has forgotten to prepare for the dinner date.

It took her a few minutes before finally absorbing Lander's sudden question. As much as she wanted to answer the question, she refused not to. "Let's just talk about something else. Vincent and I just had an argument and I'm still in the state where just by hearing his name my blood is starting to boil," she excused, glancing to Lander, giving him a faint smile before focusing again her eyes to the road. She said the truth. At this moment, all she wanted is to be free from questions and situations that involves Vincent. Even for a moment, she wanted to be free of him; from the thoughts of Vincent. Tonight, all she should care about is Lander. "I understand," he said as his grip on the steering tightened. Ever since he was a kid, he has had the thoughts of always proving everyone wrong.

The cinnamon scent of the lit candles runs through her nostrils as they slowly walk inside of the venue with her hand still on Lander's arm. The candelabras were the first thing she had noticed, they were in the shade of yellow and brown bringing a vintage vibe all over the place. She was unable to let go of the smile that genuinely crept to her lips as she was busy wandering her eyes around the place. The white as milk thick curtains were hanging beautifully on the ceiling. She smiles. She had never been a fan of the color white, simply because she find them boring but tonight, she eat her words and end up thinking that the white color shows simplicity and she think it's beautiful. Tonight was just perfect, she thought. Everything was in the shade of white, yellow, and brown. She loves it.

Her head is resting on his chest, listening to every beat of his heart—it was calm, as well as his every breathing."I love feeling your skin against mine," he whispered. She closed her eyes as his calloused hand traveled to her neck and back to her arm."I want to forget everything...

She also paired it with her white stiletto. It was not too revealing like how Vincent pictured it to be so she rolled her eyes."Nope, it's not revealing it's perfectly fine," she said, spraying an expensive perfume all over her body. She was surprised to see her things that she left in the hotel properly arranged in Vincent's room after they had their breakfast.
