I never imagined that vintage style looks good on me. I smiled at my reflection in the mirror as I turned around. Two hours before the party starts and I am here in Cristel's room getting ready. Cristel starts to put some light make-up on my face.
"This red lipstick will surely suit your dress," she said then put a color on my lips. This is a vintage make-up for me, and it feels so heavy and uncomfortable.
"Can I take it off?" I shyly asked Cristel because obviously, she put a lot of effort into my make-up.
"Why? You don't like the look I made for you?" Her face became sad.
"No, I-I just don't feel comfortable. It feels so weird wearing make-up." I lied. Honestly, the lipstick is burning my lips and it smells really weird. What company produced this lipstick?
"Okay, but just the lipstick. The glittered-eyeshadow really looks good on you." She smiled. She gave me a cloth to wipe my swollen lips. It hurts.
After hours of preparing, I am alread
I tried to look for Sonia in the whole event place, but I can't recognize her mask and dress."There you are Aliyah!"Someone grabbed my wrist then pulled me into the middle of the crowd. He wrapped his arms around my waist and slowly we dance to the music."What are you doing?" I asked him."I want to dance with you, is that bad?" Henry said then turned me around."I already said no, so why are you still insisting?" I creased my forehead."Can you shut up your pretty mouth? We are already dancing; don't worry I will let you go when we finished. You are so hard to get." He laughed then pulled me closer to his body.This is not right! I should stop him right away!"I need to go, Lieutenant. I have something to do," I whispered to him."Are you trying to escape to me? What is it? Maybe I can help," he insisted.No! No! This isn't going to work."Please, I really need to go. Cristel is probably looking for me,
I was very confused that night. So, it means that it is not very hard for me to make Henry and Sonia fell in love with each other. Lucky me!"Why are you smiling?"I looked at Cristel who is lying on the bed because of her hangover. She really went overboard last night."My head hurts really bad! I'm going to die!" she exclaimed.I sighed. "That's what you get, little miss. Here, drink this." I handed her the cup of strong coffee that was prepared by her mother."I don't like coffee, but do you think it can really help me?" she asked.I nodded. I know that because I'm a nurse in my time. After Cristel fell asleep, I went back to my room and examine Sonia's diary. Why didn’t she tell me that she is a childhood friend of Henry? I gasped when I realized something... Was Sonia already has feelings for Henry? If that is the case, this mission will be really easy for me and I can go back to the present in no time.I flipped the page o
"So, tell me, why are you pushing me to court Sonia?" he asked while we are taking the road to Sonia's mansion."I told you, I'm saving your asses from a miserable fate. Thank me later." I looked at him.There's a hint of shock in his eyes that made me laugh so hard. I totally forgot that I'm in the generation where women are angels. He was probably surprised hearing me talked like that."Who are you, lady? Why do you spoke like that? If someone hears you, they will think you grew up in the street," he said. I rolled my eyes."I always talk like that and there's nothing wrong with it. You are overreacting, man!" I playfully smacked his hard stomach. Oh, the abs!Stop it, Aliyah! You are a noble nurse and that not the first time you saw a naked body, you saw more than that. It is not supposed to be a big deal."Aliyah!""Aliyah, what?!" I shouted in shock. I immediately covered my mouth and looked around."Why are you shouting?"
I cursed Henry on my mind. Why the hell he kissed me?! In front of Sonia?! Really?!He is just smirking, and I just want to punch his face, actually, I can do it if Sonia is not watching just like now. I smiled awkwardly at her. Her face looked shocked because of what she saw earlier."It is not what you think, Sonia." I approached her. I thought she is out of town.She knotted her forehead, she looks confused. "Why do you know my name?" she asked me."Henry told me, you are friends, right?" I answered her. She looked at Henry."Hi, Sonia," Henry greeted her.I saw how Sonia blushed and my hope suddenly rejoices. I smiled and pulled Sonia near Henry."What are you doing, Miss?" Sonia pushed me.I didn't mind it at all. This is the start; I need to move fast."Sonia, Henry has something to say to you," I said then looked at Henry.I raised my eyebrow. He sighed. "Sonia, I think I have to ask you for the secon
In the whole day, I just stayed in Dela Fuentes' house, helping them do some errands. I spent most of my time thinking about how I could help Henry fall in love with Sonia without actually falling in love with me. I am not dumb nor blind to not notice how Henry stated his feelings for me. He even kissed me!It so impossible that he already has romantic feelings for me. We barely know each other, and we can't be together. I will leave this place soon; I miss my family already. I can't be attached to this place; I do not belong here. This is all just temporary."What happened to your stuff?" Cristel asked me when we finished cleaning her room."We already met Sonia and she agreed on Henry's proposal," I answered.She gasped. "What? They are getting married?!" she exclaimed."What? No, silly! Henry will court Sonia, first. I am looking forward to their marriage, though." I smiled.Cristel looked at me with curious eyes. "Why are you pushing tho
"So, it is a deal then," he said then smirked.I have no choice, looks like Sonia needs to wait. She might get angry knowing that a moment after I pushed Henry to her, here I am letting this man court me. His eyes are twinkling at what I just said.Cristel made a fake cough to get our attention. I immediately step away from Henry and faced Cristel with a big teasing smile on her face."I think we should go," I said to her then looked at Henry. "Thank you, yes, it is a deal. See you." I pulled Cristel's hand then walked away.When we finally halfway through Dela Fuente's mansion, Cristel laughed and stop for a while."What's with you two? I thought Henry is courting Sonia then here you are, permitting him to court you too? What is happening?" she said then laughed, hysterically.I sighed. "I have no choice but to do that. If I ask him for a favor, he will ask for something in return that can benefit him too. I know that this is a bad idea, I
"What are you doing here, Lieutenant?" I asked him. He was wearing his military uniform and holding a stem of white rose. I am pretending that I don't see that beautiful flower."Visiting you. You just let me court you yesterday and now I think you forget it already," he said with a playful smile.I rolled my eyes. "What do you want? Remember, you are still courting Sonia. You can only court me when we are alone or in an isolated place."He nodded then handed me the flower. I raised a brow, how could he?"That's why I am asking you if can give it to Sonia for me instead. She went out of town, and I am afraid that I can still have a chance to say goodbye to her. Can you do it?" Now, he is smirking.I raised a brow. "Are you trying to make me jealous?""Why? Are you jealous already?" His smile annoys me.I looked at the white rose and got it into his hands. "You are assuming too much. I am giving it to her, you don't have to worry. Wher
After that night, I feel a little loneliness in my heart. Suddenly, I felt something will be missing from me once I left this place. I have no intention of staying here, but why am I feel so wrong when thinking about leaving Henry here?"Why you are here again?" I asked him.He was wearing a plain blue shirt and loose pants, very old-fashioned. I rolled my eyes, why this fashion is even a thing?!"You forgot already? I promise to you that I will introduce you to my parents this day, remember?" he answered."Oh, really? I am just kidding last night. I didn't know you will take it seriously." I laughed, but it was fake. Shoot! I am not even ready! What will I do when I already facing them?"You should wear something nice," Cristel said then handed me his blue knee-length dress."Thank you." I wore the dress then put on a little make-up. Why am I even nervous? The hell!I asked Henry to wait for me outside their house. I don't want anyon
