CHAPTER FIVE

W-Why..

Why would he buy the dress? Would he wear it?

Or maybe..for his girlfriend right?

Yeah, it was him who got the dress. I don't have a choice. It was sold by him, and it's really expensive!

750,000? Geez.

I need to talk to him for the details after the show.

I changed my clothes back to what I was wearing earlier before heading out on the backstage.

I saw him talking to Alexa. I walked towards to their direction.

I faked a cough.

"Oh, there she is Mr. Hawk!" She excitedly said.

Lienzo looked at me with an amusing smile, I gave him a fake smile.

I would never let him see my real smile again!

Not ever.

"Just give me your email address Mr. Hawk, I'll just email the details to you. And the dress, i'll let someone deliver it." I said.

He placed his hands on his pocket bit his lower lip.

"Hm, about the dress." He started.

I fixed my gazed at him.

Why?

Is it ugly?

Did he change his mind?

"What about it?" I asked.

"Keep it." He said.

I raised my eyebrow and gave him a confused look.

He bought it to let me keep the dress?

"What? Are you serious?! You bought the dress in the amount of 750,000!" I bursted out.

He chuckled.

A sexy chuckle.

Dang, Stop it Winona!

He's not good me, especially for my heart.

"I am serious Ms. Santos, if only i have a sister i could give it to her." He explained.

Of course, I knew that jerk.

May I remind you we're ex?!

And now you are pretending like you don't even know me!

"And it's a waste if i'll throw it away, you're worth it to wear that dress and besides it's your design after all. I bought it for you."

I was speechless.

He bought it for me?

Really?

I gulped.

Look away Winona, stop looking at him. It's ridiculous.

I managed to look away and stayed in my poise and tried stopping myself from being affected.

"Hello? I'm still here!"

I almost forgot that Alexa is with us! I'm so stupid.

Again.

Because of him!

It's always his fault.

After that conversation, I went home feeling so tired. My mind was still processing everything that happened tonight, It felt like a year! It was so exhausting!

I layed on my bed still with my clothes on that i wore earlier, I was too lazy to get up but i needed to. I took a half bath and erased the make-up on my face and did my night routine. After taking the shower, I just wore a simple pink silk pajama set. I was ready to sleep!

I immediately lie on the bed and slept.

One week has passed and i can say that I was not that stressful with that week.

And lucky, not a chance to meet him again.

I'm in the cafe doing some sketch works when a mysterious caller called me, The number was not familiar to me.

I don't want to answer it but I'm curious.

My heart was beating so fast while looking at the caller.

At the end, I still answered the call.

"Hello?"

It was silent at first.

"Hello? Hello?" I asked again.

Weird.

Who was this caller?

Are they pranking me?

"If you're not going to answer me, i'll ju---"

"Ms. Santos."

Oh great!

It's Lienzo. Again.

"What?" I asked blankly.

That's why my heart was beating faster earlier, i wished i didn't answered it anyway!

"Are you busy?" He asked.

I looked around.

"I am, I am actually very busy!"

I heard him laugh.

"Really?"

"Yes! So stop bothering me now!" And i ended the call immediately.

His pissing me off!

I continued sketching.

I felt someone sat beside me but i didn't manage to looked at the person.

"Uh-huh. You're a busy person Ms. Santos."

I stopped sketching and looked at the person.

It's him!

"What the?!"

He took one of my designs on looked at it.

"You are a great designer Ms. Santos, I'm really impressed by it."

I frowned and snatched away the paper from his hand, what a crazy person.

"What are you doing here? And how did you get my contact?" I asked continuously.

"Slow down."

I hissed and gave him a glare.

A death glare.

"Alexa gave me your number since I asked for it, and also I was just dropping by here. And, I saw you." He explained.

Alexa! You're dead!

I moved a bit away from him since he was really close to me.

I didn't manage to talk to him and just continued what I am doing. I tried sketching again but I'm so distracted by him!

"Can you please move away?" I requested, still with a frown on my face.

"Why? Are you distracted by me huh? Winona?"

I felt my heart skipped a beat when he told my name again.

After 3 years.

He said my name again.

"W-What..are you talking about?!" I failed not stuttering because I stuttered! "I'm not distracted by you! I just don't like you being so close to me!" I angrily blurted at him.

He shook his head.

"No."

His really playing with me huh?

Argh! Lienzo Joaquin Hawk you'll be a death of me!

"You're..really crazy!" I said.

I just hid my pad on my sling bag since I can't sketch properly because of him.

His driving me crazy, again.

"Would a crazy person looked this handsome?" He asked amusingly.

"Who says you're handsome?!" I asked.

"Everyone."

His so full of himself!

I rolled myself.

He got up and went on the next table beside ours, a group of teenage girls.

What is he doing?

"Am i handsome girls?" He asked suddenly to them.

They nodded their heads and repeated the answer 'yes'.

He went back to me and smiled.

"I told you i'm handsome."

I crossed my arms and stood up.

"A handsome ogre."

I said and started to walk away from.

And maybe in his life again.
