Chapter 7 Date

Zale

I’m getting excited for our date. I have been waiting for this day; have arranged this date all day. I will bring her to my yacht. We will dine together as we sail in the water.

It’s 10 in the evening. I am now in the marina waiting for my driver who takes her.

From the top i see my car popping in the driveway.

When i see her getting out of my car, di man lang niya hinintay ang driver ko na pagbuksan siya. Kakaiba talaga ang babing ito. Napapalingo ako sa kanyang asta pero mas napapalingo ako when i see her outfit.

“Ohh goodness, what a perfect body she have;” di ko mapigilang mapahanga. She has a great shape and she walks like a model even just wearing a simple t-shirt and jean outfit with sandal and a handbag on the side. Other than that wala na.

I know for most women i have dated ito ang kakaiba, she doesn’t even wear a nice dress fit for a date. Other women would dressed to kill for a date with me but it's fine i don’t wear formal as well. I want our date to be casual.

I walk down para salubungin siya

“Finally you are here, welcome to my paradise.” Bati ko sa kanya and came to hug her. She moves away and tried to put a distance between us.

“Opps Mr Vasco, we are not a friend yet for us to hugs each other. We are just on a date no need to be touchy.” I just chuckle. What a strange lady. Ang iba siguro nagmamadali pang i-kiss and i-hug ako but her nadah. I let her be for now. Nagpapakipot lang ito.

“Saan ba tayo? Akala ko ba kakain tayo bakit wala akong nakita na restaurant dito?" She asks while looking around the area.

“Well, we are in the marina where my yacht is. We will dine facing the ocean, not bad for a date right? Come here.” I hold her hand sa para alalayan but she tried to alisin ito pero di ko yun pinayagan. Her hand is so smooth and i like holding it.

I bring her to the top deck where our table is. The music is on as soon as we enter the yacht. I signal my chef to serve the food. I also signal my captain to maneuver the yacht.

“What a great place right?” I ask her

“Yeah the view up here is nice.” She keeps looking around. I can see na humanga talaga siya sa lugar. Ayaw lang siguro ipaalam sa akin. Ma pride din ang babaing ito.

The chef started serving us the food.

“Di ka ba nadidismaya sa outfits ko?” Tanong niya as we started eating.

“Why, what’s wrong of what you’re wearing? You look stunning in that outfit.” Yeah she is really sexy, litaw ang hubog ng katawan na mas lalong nagpapatakam sa akin.

“Di ba most girls you dated they are classy, wearing extravagant gown for a date?”

“Yeah some would but i prefer yours just being simple and I am just wearing casual as well. We are just match for this event. Nakita ko ang pagkadismaya niya. I can tell that she really made this up intentionally to piss me off. Bad for you darling coz i like your style.

“Do you think I’m frustrated coz you are not dressing properly? Well it depends on the event and the venue we are in. But really i wouldn’t care for the outfit but what’s important to me is you are comfortable of what you are wearing.” Emphasized ko sa kanya that it's not the outfit, it's how she wears it.

“For a date, i prefer a laid back style, no pretensions, just purely enjoying the company.” The boat started to sail.

“Teka bakit umaalis ata tayo?” Nataranta niyang wika.

“We will just sail, we’ll have dinner under the moonlight and in the water, unique di ba? Come on just be yourself, just enjoy the moment. Tonight we just simply enjoy each other’s company. I can see na she’s relaxing now.

“You look so beautiful tonight by the way. I prefer that look of you, simple yet alluring. You are simply gorgeous.”

“I didn’t know that a certain Zale Vasco is also a flatterer, have flowery words.” I know she is being sarcastic with that word but i don’t mind, trip kong sakyan siya.

“Well, all men can be flattery when they like the woman they are with. And it’s not a flattery; I am just stating a fact, unless you think of yourself as ugly.” Napapangiti ako kasi i know i cornered her.

“So Esha, where are you from?” Simula ko tanong to know her better.

"Why di mo ba alam kung sino ako? Di mo ba pa ipina-inbestigahan?”

“Nope. That’s why i ask you. I want to know it from you.” Pa cool kong sagot.

“I though Zale is kind of sigurista at inaalam ang lahat tungkol sa isang tao?”

“Well i want it to be spontaneous between us. I will know you as time we spend together and you will with me.”

“Well i am just a simple province girl na napadpad dito sa Manila to work.” She isn’t giving me the exact location. Well i understand as we just know each other. “Bakit mo ako inimbitahan dito?”

“Let say i am way interested in you, di pa ba halata?” Sagot ko in a relax manner.

“Di ka ba nahihiya na isang katulad ko ang gugustuhin mo?” He asks it directly. Matapang na babae. Inamin ko she caught me off guard. Coz until now i am still thinking if what i did is right, baka pagtawanan ako ng mga kakilala ko. I am still exploring on my feeling and about her.

“Di naman. If I'm interested in that person i don’t care who she is as person, what’s important is her feelings for me and my feeling for her.” I play it safe. Kakaumpisa pa lang ng plano ko.

“What if i am a good digger? Like most entertainer do, gugustuhin mo pa rin ba ako?”

“I don’t care, may ikasusuporta naman ako. Ang importante is akin lang siya, walang akong kahati at handa kong ibigay ang nakakasaya niya." Saying it while looking directly to her eyes.

I know she is just fishing information, what a clever woman. Which i didn’t find it in most girl i dated, they don’t care about those things. All they want na ma-attached sa akin kahit di ko na sila nirespito.

After namin kumain, the crew serves us with red wine. She looks in the water. Its calm tonight and the breeze is cold. I get my jacket in the side and put on her to warm her.

“Why you not wearing a jacket alam mo naman malamig na ang panahon?”

“I have one in your car nakalimutan ko lang kunin.” Tumango ako.

“Do you like the place?”

“Ang ganda ng lugar, tahimik lang. Ito yung dream ko spend time with nature and enjoy the serenity of the place.” Sabi niya sa mahina na boses, I can sense sadness in her voice.

“We are same. This is my favorite place, that’s why i bring you here. I wanna to share with you my preference, my hobbies. I sail when i want to release my stress. We can stay here tonight para mas maenjoy mo pa ang lugar.” Subtle ko na invitation pero yun naman talaga ang plano ko.

“What di tayo uuwi ngayon gabi?” Nasense ko na nataranta na naman siya.

“Just relax, andito na tayo might as well enjoy the moment, this may not come again. We can sail all night and tomorrow we will land in a private beach. We can swim in bluish crystal water. We can do scuba diving and enjoy swimming with the sea creature all by ourselves.” Nakita ko ang pagningning na kanyang mga mata.

“But i don’t have clothes to wear tonight and for tomorrow.” Ang kanina na pagkataranta niya ay napapalitan ng excitement. Sa kanyang salita she agrees on me.

“No worries i got that covered.” Nakangiti kong saad..

“Pinaghandaan mo talaga ito noh? She is now smiling, first time ko siyang nakangiti openly. She looks mesmerizing.

“Well bihira lang ka lang mag-yes ng isang invitation kung di ka pa pinipilit. So i might take this opportunity to impress you, a nice date right?” I heard her laugh and it’s pleasing to hear. I stand up to come closer to her.

“Can i ask you for a dance; it’s nice to dance under the moonlight?” Tumango naman siya.

“So far do you like our date?” I hold her closer to me as we dance. The music is still playing in the background.

“Yeah i like it, nakuha mo ang taste ko. I really love nature, like this. And it’s kind of romantic as well.”

“I’m glad you appreciate my effort, I promise tomorrow mag e-enjoy ka pa. We’ll make our date memorable.”

I decide to take it slow, lure her around and make her at ease with me. Kung pipilitin ko mas lalong gusto niyang kumawala sa akin.

“Di ko akalain na romantic ka pala, ang akala ko babaero ka lang, walang alam sa ganito.” We continue our chat as we walk around, while holding our wine.

“Wait up, it seems marami kang alam sa akin. Parang ikaw ata ang nagpapa-inbestaga sa akin;” tawa kong sabi.

“Well Mr Vasco sikat ka kaya at ang mukha mo nasa tv at magazine palagi with different girls. No need for investigation; defensive niyang sabi. I am really enjoying this.

“Sila ang lumalapit sakin, pinagbigyan ko lang.”

“Wow, naks di ka rin hambog huh? Pinanlalakihan niya ako ng kanyang mga mata. She looks cute by it.

“Well I am just telling the truth. How about you, aside from me, sino pa ang pinagbigyan mo na makausap ng personal?

“You mean my customer sa club? Tumango ako, anticipation builds me up. I don’t want to hear na may pinayagan na siyang maging close just how close we are now.

“Wala pa, eh ikaw di mo naman ako nakuha sa invitation, you force me to do it.” She got me there and I'm happy with what i heard.

"Hahah yeah pero pumayag ka parin that’s all matter. I feel honored na first mong makadate. Sabi ko sa kanya na nakangiti. Yeah i am happy now, first ever date that i am enjoying so much, feeling so relax. And feels so intimate, just us sharing the moment under the moonlight surrounded with ocean.
