I saw him again passing to the hallway. I want to call him but I don't know his name so i to chased him. One of employee behind me call his name.
"Ron!" He turned around. We saw each other and we both smile. His collegue approach him and discuss somerhing about work but his stare didn't left me. I then wave at him and utter "Hi Ron!" without voice. I was so thrilled to see him on the hallway unfortunately I have to leave too, so we had no chance of actually talking. So I went back to my office my business partners are there for audit. The whole day he's on my mind his smile, his lips, his name. I wanted to wait for him at the exit since the day is over. But it's pathetic, I decided to leave and try my luck on seeing him the next day. In next days my eyes are searching for him, I'm checking the faces of every man passing, I spotted no Ron among them. I can't wait anymore. Why is he not coming to me. Is he not thinking of me the same way I think of him? I went up to visit my father's office, just to get an allibi to went inside and scan the whole building for him. Finally going far from my nest paid off. I spotted my target he is currently talking to the secretary. I stand there and waited for him to notice me like a kid waiting for her parent.
"Ms. Andrea, what are you doing here?" He pretended to be surprised to see me on the 2nd floor.
"I want so see you! Why else could I be here." I flirted with him hilariously.
"I'm sorry I have no time to visit you at your office we are so busy this week." He explained.
"It's fine that's why I'm here so you don't have to come to me." He chuckles from the words I'm saying. He is speechless. I'm laughing at myself too. How could I say those words.
RON's POV
I was so busy this days. I did'nt catch Andrea on here office at the end of working hours maybe she's busy too. Maybe I should try visitting her at lunch. I don't want to destroy the magic of that night before I Finally see her again. I should try harder today. I missed her so much. I was talking to my workmate when I spotted an angel coming to my direction. It's Andrea I can't paint my face right now. I'm so happy at the same time I'm discussing something important to Carlos about a project. I dismissed him right away so I can finally talk to Andrea. She's smiling widely and her eyes are shining, the frequency of our heart beat is the same.
"Hello! I see you found me." I jokingly stated. Am I the reason she went up. Whatever reason it is I'm glad she is here.
"Are you hiding from me? You didn't even visit me after the party, I'm so disappointed in you, you know where to find me, right?
" I'm sorry I was so busy these past few days. How about we go for lunch?" I offered her. She seem thrilled about the idea. I can't really talk now that she's so close to me. I practiced so much what to say but now I'm speechless. I look like a fool just chuckling on qhat she is saying. I've noticed it's safer this way. I'm not good at leading the conversation but sometimes I get lucky to get some funny lines from this small brain of mine. Andrea likes a funny guy. Ow I love her laughing at my silly jokes. How I wish we've met this way before. I'm so stupid, I was impatient ten years ago. Now I have to do it right.

RON'S POV
We were horse playing on one corner when Andrea's Dad (Mr. Alex Ponti) pass by. He cleared his throat in front of us. He doesn't seem happy to see us together.
"Mr. Alejandro please pass by at my office when you're done here." He said coldly. He looks bad news. Andrea greeted her father. She followed her father with me while shes talking casually to him. But Mr Ponti dismissed her.
"Andrea I want to talk to Mr Alejandro alone." Andrea was surprised but she somehow understand the situation and leave.
"Alright, Im going back to my work then. Have a good one."
What Mr Ponti about to say scares me. He clearly shows disagreement of me talking to Andrea.
"You promised not to bother my daughter anymore. How come you're getting near her again? His face is disappointed. He wants to protect Andres from me. It is just understandable based on from the past.
"I tried not too Sir but I can't. She's like a magnet, she automatically attracts me." I explained.
"The I will ask her directly. Looks like she didn't recognize you. If she learned your real identity she will be devastated again. You don't know how she suffered because of your unacceptable action from the past.
"I'm sorry Sir please give me another chance with Andrea I promise I won't rush her this time. Our situation seems different now. I have a good feeling she would accept me this time." I proposed with confidence.
"I will give you 1 week to tell her. Next week I will assign you to a business trip to Cebu, you will be staying there for a month. If Andrea accepted you I won't oppose on this madness again." Mr Ponti is so clear on his view about me and Andrea.
"Yes Sir I will tell her soon." I left his office, my time is clicking. So much for my desire to keep Adrea from the dark about my real identity so she will stay happy and keep me close to her but I have to tell her soon. Mr Ponti will tell her anyway if that happens everything will be destroyed again. She might hate me forever.
As promised me and Andrea went to lunch together. She's kind of uneasy about what did her father told me.
" So what happened to you're conversation with Dad?" She asked.
"It's about work. I haven't submitted 1 document yet. So I have to work on it later." I answered trying to divert her thought.
" Don't worry about Dad he just look scary but he supports me which ever makes me happy. He doesn't look on your social status or whatever." She said with confidence.
"I think he does."
"Maybe, I don't really know. I never been in a relationship that he is aware of."
"Really?" I smiled. I am delighted to know that Andrea didn't get involved to other men when I left. Or maybe nothing serious.
"I am not scared of your father so don't worry about me. In worst case scenario I can look for another job." I reassured her. I am more worried of Andrea than his Dad.
"I think Dad will like you, so is Mom. You have a job that's enough i think. You seem smart as well." She flatters me with words I just wanna touch her cheeks and play with her hair as she talks.
"Let's not talk about your parents. It feels weird talking about parent's now, don't you think?" I tried to redirect our conversation. "How about we plan where to go after work?"
"Where do you want to go?"
"How about we walk around the park near our office building?" I suggested. I can actually go where ever as long as she's coming.
"That's fine with me." She answered shortly. I can see on her face she's thrilled with the idea.
"Now put some food on your mouth I didn't see you eat to much. You keep on staring at me."
"Whaat?. Your the one who is staring at me. Your food is coming out of your mouth, see." She wiped the little sauce on the corner of my mouth. For some it will be disgusting but for me I'm tickled by her touch. I attempted to bite her finger so she put it away fast. I gave her a table napkin to clean her hand. Actually I cleaned it myself to get more chance to touch her. Her hand is so soft. I want to bite it for real and kiss her at this moment but I stopped myself she might find it gross since we are eating. We are both electrified with those touches. I forgot my promised of telling her who I'm really am. I want us to stay like this forever. I don't think 1 week is enough for me. I want this feeling she's giving me.
