CHAPTER 18
A happy lunch happened to Tamara and Clark with the two people who are important to them. Everything was settled. They both voted for each one of them. Even the sky and land are between them. What is important is that pure love has sprung up in their hearts.
While the three girls were eating dessert, Clark said goodbye for awhile.
“Pretty ladies, let me leave you for a moment.”
The three looked at Clark, who stood up. The mother asked
“Where are you going, son?”
I’m just going to get something, mommy. It’s only a minute when I get back, you’ve finished eating dessert. ”
“Okay, son, don’t take too long.”
“No, ommy, my honey is here!” he said, smiling.
“Good boy!” The lady smiled.
“Auntie, honey.” I’ll be back okay. ”
They both responded with a nod to him.
Without Clark
“Tamara, hija.” My son, I really love you. And just now, I saw him so happy. Because of you. ”
Honestly, auntie, sometimes I think he’s just playing with me or is it just his past time because he’s an educated person and Tamara would have said that he also has an educated and rich woman with him. She just didn’t say it.
“What is that and there is something in this sentence?”
Tamara looked at her aunt. She nodded her head in agreement with what she wanted to say.
“And he had a woman with him when we saw him in Obando Auntie.”
“Woman, who?”
Tamara wondered what his name was. He heard it from Clark.
“Carmina,” Emily replied.
“Hmmm, Carmina. Yeah, I know her.
Tamara was depressed even though the lady knew her name.
Clark was getting closer to the three women when he heard Carmina’s name.
“Why did I hear Carmina’s name?” What about her? ”
“You’re so fast, son.”
“I told you mom, I’m just fast. Wait, why did Carmina join your conversation, Mommy? ”
“Hijo, your honey, I think she’s jealous of Carmina.”
“Hmmm, it’s okay Mommy. Well, that’s where you can see that my honey loves me, “Clark smiled. He wanted to capture her feelings for him.
“Well, I agree with you, son.”
Tamara looked at her aunt. She was also smiling.
“So, are you going to buy anything else?” Clark asked them.
“Me, I’m not going to buy my dress, son, I’m just going to look at my cabinet. I think I have a new one in my cabinet, and even though I haven’t been here in a long time, I think it’s still okay.”
“How about you, Auntie Emily?” Clark asked her
“I’m done, Clark.”
“How about you, honey?”
“Huh? I’m okay. ” Tamara seems to forget that she needs to buy a dress to wear tonight for gala night.
“Okay then, I’ll take you home.”
“No need, you’ll be far away.” Tamara refused. She was ashamed because he was with his mother.
“Hija, don’t refuse; Clark should just take you home.” Because you’re his girlfriend. And he doesn’t want you to be in trouble, and most importantly, he doesn’t want you to get hurt. ”
“Mommy is right. Come on, I won’t allow not to drop you in your house because you are my girlfriend.”
Well, she can’t do anything. Clark said it already.
After Clark paid their bill, they immediately went straight to the parking area of the mall.
While they were in the car, Tamara and Clark were speechless, but the two ladies in the backseat kept talking as if they were close to each other.
When they got to the house,
“Thank you very much, Clark.” Emily said to him.
“It’s nothing, Auntie.” Clark faced Tamara.
“Thank you also.” Tamara said it too.
“Just thank you, honey.”
“Huh? What else? ”
“Call me honey, I’m fine!”
“Huh?”
“You don’t love me, do you?”
Tamara just looked at him. I love you, of course! This is what she wanted to answer. But only in her mind.
“Tamara, I’ll go inside first.” Emily said goodbye so the two could have privacy. Clark’s mother is busy talking on her cellphone.
“Tamara, honey, do not hide your feelings. Please let me know. If you say no, there is nothing I can do. I will respect it. If you say yes, I will show you how much Clark Generoso loved you. You will not regret it. ”
Tamara felt like she was stepping on a cloud with what he taught her.
“Really?”
“Yes!”
Tamara’s lips twitched into a smile. “All right.”
Clark frowned at his response, “Okay.”
“Alright, you mean you love me?”
Tamara is ashamed to admit her feelings. I don’t know about you. Your mommy is getting impatient. I’m going up to the house. ”
But Clark will not allow anything to happen. He hooked his arm around her waist.
“Clark?” Tamara, shocked at what he did. Clark already did this to her, but still she can’t get used to it.
“Tell me what’s right. I won’t let go of you even until we’re like this tomorrow. ”
“Clark, of course.”
“Tell me.”
“Court me first before I say I love you!” Because of what she said, he hugged her.
“Honey, you said it.”
“Huh? I didn’t say anything, ah. ”
“You said it, okay, I’ll court you honey, even though we are already in a relationship.” Clark couldn’t help himself and captured Tamara’s lips.
Clark’s mother was very happy to see that she could now say that her son was so madly in love now and it was a good thing she went home if not. She will not be able to witness her son’s happiness.
Her feelings betrayed her. Tamara’s lips moved spontaneously to kiss him back.
Their kiss lasted for a few seconds. Tamara no longer cares about those who see her.
When the kisses they shared ended, “I love you, honey. Like what I said, you won’t regret that you love me from now on. You are the only woman for me! ” Clark’s sweet promise
Tamara’s heart answered first before her, “Of course she must also.” “I love you too!” she revealed.
“Yesss!” Clark hugged her tightly.
“Alright, I think your mother is getting bored waiting for you. You must go now. ”
“Okay, bye, but see you later, honey.”
Tamara nodded at Clark with a smile.
“Stay here, don’t go inside yet, okay.” Clark went to the back of his car and took something. And back to Tamara. “For you, honey.”
“What is this?”
“Just look inside your house. I’ll be here before seven pm, okay.”
“Be careful.”
“Of course, honey, now that I have you.”
The lady lowered the car window glass to say goodbye to Tamara.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
“Hija, see you again, okay, bye.” Shs waved to her.
Tamara nodded at the lady and waved too.
Then Tamara went inside when Clark’s car was out of sight. Her smile reached to her ears.
Emily couldn’t say anything because she saw everything. She only prayed that her niece would not cry. But she knows there is no perfect relationship in this world and sometimes you need to cry.
“Auntie, I’m so happy!” she exclaimed.
“That’s what love really is, Tamara. It’s fun, and you feel like you’re in paradise. ”
“You’re right, auntie. This is what it feels like when you love someone! ”
“My only advice to you, Tamara. Leave for yourself, don’t give everything. But it seems unlikely that this will happen, knowing that if the heart is obeyed, then the mind and body will follow. Like me and when your mother. ”
“Auntie, I don’t want to promise either, but I will do what you said.”
“I hope so, Tamara. You can handle your heart. Go ahead and rest. Aren’t you and Clark going to a party later? ”
“Yes, Auntie.”
“Get some rest. I’ll wake you up later.”
Before Tamara went to the room, she approached her aunt and hugged her. “Thank you so much.”
Emily held back her tears. Tamara is really kind; even if she scolds her a lot, she doesn’t sulk at her. For her, Clark was lucky because he met her niece because she was very kind.
When her niece let go of her, she immediately turned her back so that she wouldn’t see the side of her tears. “Alright, Tamara, go to your room.”
“Yes, Auntie.” Tamara felt good when she entered the room. Especially since she had already confessed her feelings to Clark. Even though she doesn’t want to say that she loves him, it comes out of her mouth on her own. She couldn’t ask for anything more because the man she would love so much had arrived. And she also knows that Clark will love her too. She could feel it even though they hadn’t known each other for a long time. And in the coming days, they will get to know each other better and better.
She examined the paper bag that Clark had given her. “Huh? What’s in it?” She opened it and took out the contents when she saw what it was. “This is the dress I want. ah. ” She smiled, so Clark went to get it a while ago. This is the outfit she’ll be wearing later. She measured it first, and it was just right for her. Her curvy figure is visible. This is a knee-length white dress with lace at the bottom. She smiled at herself in the mirror. It suits her. It appears simple but elegant. She nods because she is pleased with how she sees herself. And notice how she no longer looks like Clark’s maid, but a girlfriend now.
