Chapter 7: It started with the ride.

Just the way you are.

On that friday afternoon, Simon is getting ready to fetch Kim, he even woke up really early out of his excitement. 

"Simon" Elsa called as he entered Simon's room. Simon looked up from wearing his grafitti designed vans sneakers "Ma?" he said.

"Are you done? I already called Kim and she said she's ready na daw within 15mins, so you have to hurry up ha, so you won't be late on fetching her, nakakahiya" Elsa reminded. 

"Yes Ma, don't worry. I won't keep such a beautiful lady from waiting" Simon replied, Elsa smiled from hearing what Simon said "Aba naman anak, may ganun pa ha. pero you know what..." she sat down at Simon's bed "Kim's very pretty noh? Tsaka very business minded, you see, habang tinuturuan siya ihandle ang Sunrise hotel, meron pa siyang sariling business. That's very impressive"

"What has Sunrise hotel have to do with her? Nag wowork din siya dun?" Simon wondered, while he was busy fixing his hair. "Of course, didn't I tell you, that yout tita Emma is Mr. Albert Chiu the owner of Sunrise Hotel" 

"No, hindi mo nasabi ma, so, that makes Kim the daughter of Mr. Chiu?" Simon asked. Elsa nodedd "Exactly."

"wow, surprising." He said and sprayed a perfume on his body. "Ok, I'm done" 

"Good. Sige na go ahead, drive safetly ha" Elsa reminded before Simon headed out from his room.

 

After a few minutes of driving and finding the Chiu's residence, he finally arrived in front of the huge luxurious house's gate. he went out of the car and proceed to press the doorbell. 

"Yes sir, ano po yun?" The guard of the house asked when he open the gate door. Simon took off his shades he's wearing "Ah, Chiu residence?" Simon asked to confirm

"Yes sir, sino po bang hinahanap nila?" 

when Simon's about to answer who he's looking for, suddenly a voice came from behind, "Kuya, ako na pong bahala diyan" It was Kim looking absolutely adorable with her pink dress and her hair fixed into gorgeous curls. 

"Na late ba ko?" Simon asked looking at Kim while they were walking towards the car "Hindi naman. Just in time" Kim replied with a steady facial expression. 

Simon opened the door for Kim. He then drive with Kim along the avenue. 

Inside the car, Kim remain really quiet, and looking to the car's glass window observing the streets, and beside was Simon that couldn't help glance at Kim's whole look while he was driving. 

"Tahimik mo naman." Simon finally spoke "Pwede ka namang mag kwento, mag comment in everything you see there sa kalye coz you keep on looking on that side eh"

"and Why should I?" Kim responded her eyebrows raised "Alam mo kasi, sana ako na lang ang nag drive papunta sainyo, nakakahiya sa mommy mo."

"Yun parin ba iniisip mo, and nandito na tayo eh. you should thank me pa nga" 

"Wow. e sinabi ko bang mag offer ka ng ride?"

"Okay, Okay, I'm just kidding. but seriously, It's fine with me, lalo naman kung kasing ganda mo yung isasakay ko diba" Simon said smiling, making pa cute. Kim frowned . "Galing mo rin mambola noh. Antipatiko ka na, bolero ka pa, so what's the next thing I'll discover about you?" 

"That I'm not that kind of guy you think I am." Simon answered direct to the point while his eyes still in the direction, and by hearing that, KIm stopped then after the minute silence once again, she remembered something "Umm..:thanks nga pala." 

"For what?" Simon asked facing Kim. they were in the middle of traffic.

"Sa pag takip mo saakin nung pinakilala tayo, kasi I know and you also know that our first encounter was not that good, So you cover me up from that,  kasi baka hindi maging maganda yung impression ng mommy mo saakin when she finds out ----"

"Na sinigaw sigawan mo ko, sinungitan mo ko?" Simon interrupted continuing what Kim's saying.

"Ganun na nga. pero kasi naman mali ka rin nun eh. ikaw ba naman businahan, sympre sino hindi magugulat."

"Okay. I'm sorry. Hindi ko rin intention yun, so are we good?" He asked. Kim smiled and nodded as a sign of her YES answer.

"Good. So...friends?" Simon asked reaching out to shake Kim's hand. 

"Anong friends? hindi pa. Nag thank you lang naman ako sa'yo eh" Kim said teasing  that  made Simon giggled "Ah, hindi pa pala ah... SIge lang..." 

While they were just 5mins away from Simon's house, he recieve a text from her Mom, saying: "Simon, my friend called me for an immediate check-up in their house at Novaliches, So I'm now on my way, Please tell Kim that we'll just resched, tell her Im really sorry. Hatid mo na lang siya uli pauwi".

"Ay, nag text si mommy. may emergency check up sa patient niya, resched niyo na lang daw."

"Ganun ba" Kim said  "Sige okay lang. Tabi mo na lang ako diyan, magtataxi na lang ako pauwi. Abala pa kasi kung ihahatid mo ulit ako pauwi. 

When Kim was reaching to head out the car, She turned back to face Simon when he called her by her name.

"Sabi ni mommy, I'll just take you out for lunch" Simon said making another excuse to be with Kim.

Kim shook her head "No, wag na. I'll just have lunch at home, sige na ha? thanks for the ride!" she then went out of the car and waited  beside the street way. Simon followed. 

"Sigurado ka bang ayaw mo?" Simon asked, he was leaning against the his car.

"Oo naman noh, Thank you na lang" Kim answered while waiting for a cab to pass by.

"Hmm, Sige, pero remind ko lang Kim, medyo matampuhin yun si mommy, baka pag nalaman niya na hindi ka pumayag sa lunch out, baka mag tampo yun na tinatanggihan mo siya. Ikaw din" Simon said "Sige ingat ka sa pag uwi ha, sorry na lang if mom pulls out her orders from you."

Simon then went back to his car and waiting if Kim will be convince by his excuse, and after a few seconds when he started his car's engine, he saw Kim heading to his car, that made his heart jumped out coz of excitement. 

Kim tapped on the glass window, opened the car door and sat inside again quietly.

"So payag ka na?" Simon asked not letting Kim show his so much excitement. "Ano pa nga bang choice ko. e sinasabi mong may tendency ipull out niya yung order niya, sayang naman yun." 

Simon then put on his shades. "Alright. Let's go." and drive all the way to have lunch with Kim.
