MARRY THE BILLIONAIRE MAN

Chapter 4: Getting to Know Each Other

Isabella's POV

Kaninang umaga pa ako kinakabahan. Hindi ko alam kung bakit. Maybe it's because of him. May itsura siya, pero hindi ko naman siya gusto—siguro. Medyo nakakailang lang kasi ako 'yong tipo ng tao na sanay maging independent, pero ngayon, I’m actually looking forward to this… interaction? Or is it more than that?

"Hey, Isabella!" boses niya ang bumasag sa katahimikan habang naglalakad kami sa hallway."Hi," sagot ko casually, trying to keep it cool. "So... kumusta ka naman?"He chuckled, na para bang hindi siya makapaniwala sa tanong ko. "Okay naman, ikaw? Parang seryoso ka sa tanong na 'yan ah."

I laughed a little, catching myself. "Actually, curious lang din ako. Wala kasi akong masyadong alam about you."

"Sige," sabi niya, and he flashed a mischievous grin. "You ask, I answer. Para makilala mo ako nang konti."

Natigilan ako. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang una kong itatanong, pero napangiti na rin ako."Fine," I said. "Let's start easy. Favorite food?"

"Hmm, pizza! Pero dapat pepperoni, tapos may pineapple," he answered, clearly expecting some reaction.Napailing ako, "Pineapple on pizza? Really?"

"Oo naman!" he insisted, laughing. "Try mo minsan, masarap kaya."

"Pass," sabi ko, pero natatawa rin ako. Then, I realized na ako na pala 'yong sunod na sasagot. "Ikaw naman. Ask anything."

He thought for a moment, then smiled. "Okay, favorite music genre?"

"Easy lang 'yan," I replied. "Jazz. Relaxing siya, lalo na pag stress ako."Napatango siya, as if he was impressed. "Interesting. Didn't expect that, actually."

"Really? Then you don't know me well enough yet," I teased. Pero somehow, gusto ko na talagang makilala niya ako. Weird. Hindi ko alam kung bakit."Don't worry," he said, his tone suddenly softer. "We have time."Habang tumatagal, mas nagiging komportable ako. Para bang unti-unti kong nilalabanan ang takot kong mag-open up. Maybe, just maybe, I could let someone in this time.
