"Yeah, absolutely. I want everything to be perfect," Lander said as he glance back to Celestine who was now busy finding clothes that were worth buying. They're now in the famous clothing brand that was Celestine's favorite that she's been using for years. While Celestine is busy looking, he excused himself earlier and went out of the boutique for a moment to talk to the organizer that will make a perfect set-up for their dinner date later. He wants it intimate and as much as possible, a good place where Celestine and he will be comfortable to talk about random things. "Consider everything done, Mr. Buenavista. Thank you for trusting us." "Thank you," he said before ending the call. After that, he put his phone back in his pocket and enter the boutique again. He walked towards Celestine who was now still busy roaming around the boutique. "May I see the clothes you choose?" he asked as he started checking the price tags of the clothes. He swall

Celestine violently removed Vincent's hand that was covering her mouth. "What are you doing here?" she asked almost like a whisper emphatically. Vincent's mouth was a bit open in astonishment at how Celestine reacted. He bit his lower lip and massage his jaw before stepping away from Celestine. "Why? Shouldn't I be here?" She tucks some of her hair strand behind her ear and looks at Vincent. "I'm not saying that you shouldn't be here." "That's what you're trying to say. I thought we were fine. We're good. But what happened to what you said that you'll text me to pick you up huh?" She closed her eyes firmly before opening them again. "Can we just fight some other time? I don't want to fight with you." "I don't want either but you're pushing me to fight you about this thing because obviously, you're trying to hide something from me." "I am not hiding something for you." "Then why are you acting like this?!

"You look dashing, son," his mother emotionally said as she stare at Lander.Lander took a deep breath as he was fixing his tie in front of the mirror. He can't just sit while waiting for the time to pass so he decided to start preparing for the dinner date even though he was a bit early to start doing so."I hope Celestine will like what I prepared for her," he said as he finished fixing his tie."I know she will, son." She gives Lander an assuring smile before holding her son's hand to gently squeeze it.Lander is obviously nervous. He'd been walking back and forth inside of his room talking to the coordinator about the preparations. And his mother was happy to see the tension in her son because it only means that he treasure Celestine and was afraid of disappointing her.She could still remember the time she told him that one day, he will meet a girl that would make him feel that he wasn't enough to make him realize that in life, we should never

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. Despite having supportive parents and good family relatives it did not save him from always feeling like he's an outcast. His cousins passed their bar exams on

"I like the peacefulness of the night," Lander whispered as his hands is on Celestine's waist guiding it to sway with the music while her hands is on his shoulders."Me too," she said in a low tone of voice while she was staring at him.Celestine can't help but stare at Lander's face with the urge of pinching herself to know if she was just dreaming or not. She can't believe that she's with a handsome man with the right intentions for her. It was quite unbelievable. It was like she's in a fairytale right now where she feel like a princess having a dance with her prince charming."You're so beautiful," he mumbled.As the light crossed Celestine's face it was as if in slow motion, her eyes twinkled with a smile that reaches it. Lander swallowed upon realizing how beautiful Celestine is. He couldn't believe that the woman in front of him actually said yes to the dinner date and was smiling genuinely at him right now.From the first time, he met Celest
