Traversing through time to find you - Chapter 111

(Michelle POV)

The day I have been waiting for has finally arrived! It was Saturday and today I will be having a date with my dearest Anthony.

Although I haven’t fully informed him of our day’s schedule, I am hopeful that everything would turn out well. I mean, he did say that he hopes that we can do ‘that’ again.

Unlike the previous 2 times, I had the opportunity to prepare myself for today. Yesterday after class, I went to the mall, got myself waxed down there, got a depo shot (contraceptive by preventing ovulation), and was able to shop some lingerie and washed it myself when I got home. Of course, I did not let the maid wash it for me, it’s embarrassing for them to know that I bought those and well, what if my parents chanced upon them? I won’t be able to explain.

I took a bath and used the body scrub I bought for myself to make my skin softer. Then, I dried my hair and… should I go with perm or straight? Just straight, it might get messy later. Hmm… maybe I should ask Anthony what his preference is later? Haha! Then, I used some natural looking make-up on my face, to look prettier than I already was. I put body butter on my body and… ah! I smell so great! Good enough to eat!

Yes, I’m a bit crazy I know, but what to do? I want him to be more attracted to me, I can’t help it. To be fair, I was also like this in the past, at least after I learned from my first experience with Steve… Thinking about Steve…

This week, I noticed that ‘he’, meaning as him as Steven, has been acting more aloof to me. Not that I think much of it. From the beginning, we can only be labeled as acquaintances with common friends this timeline. But I thought he has been warming up to me. Sometimes, he would smile or nod to acknowledge my presence when it’s just the two of us like when he walked me to the venue of my evaluation exam or whenever Lara and Andy were still buying something and it’s just us sharing the table. However, the 3 times we saw each other this week, he won’t even talk to me at all. When it’s the two of us he won’t even look my way and just directly ignore me.

What did I ever do to him? Ok, I did abandon him for another guy, but come on! It’s not like we’re husband and wife this timeline and I only ever accepted my Anthony… (ehem ehem, ok I’m not pushing the blame on him because I honestly also liked Anthony since foreveer), because he’s seeing Lara! When I came back to this timeline, it was him I seek out first, but he lied to me! He said he started dating Lara 2nd year, and he even lied about his identity! So don’t blame me!

I shook my head. Ok, never mind. I knew that Steven is still an emo character and… well, he’ll turn out fine in the future so he can handle himself. Besides, he has Lara and if they end up being together in the future of this timeline… something inside my heart still felt a twinge of pain and I felt my stomach turning. Suddenly, the past flashed before my eyes and I had to take a deep breath. I realized that a part of me still loves him, and I do feel a bit guilty with my transgression.

No. Steve does not exist here and based on the events since I met the ‘him’ of this timeline, his existence to my life would never be the same. I should just consider the Steve as my husband dead. Or maybe I died and left him? Who knows? Maybe I did die on that elevator.

Why am I here? Is this a parallel universe? Will I suddenly wake up and realize that I’m only living a dream? These questions suddenly came up in my head.

Ugh. That moment of contemplation lasted for 30 minutes. When I looked at the time, it was already 10:50! I need to get to Daman mall by 11:30 to check in to the hotel and meet Anthony for lunch! I willed myself to stop thinking about those curious matters. To do so would only cause me a headache as those were questions, I would never have the correct answers to. I’m here now and I should just live my life to the fullest. To be granted something like this, I don’t think just anyone would be able to experience.

I started wearing the lingerie set that I carefully decided to wear for the day. A 4-piece lingerie set. The materials used were see through, but it has flowery embroidery design to cover some areas. The bra had an underwire but did not have foams, not that I need them.  The set includes a matching sheer boned garter belt and a thong. There were also adjustable garter stocking suspenders. They were all in white, I wanted to buy the blush color set but felt that it would be hard to match it with my clothes.

After wearing them, I looked at my image at the full-length mirror. I smiled and gave myself a wink. Ah! I look so hot and sexy! Anthony’s eyes are going to pop when he sees me in these! I giggled like an idiot before I started wearing the dress I especially chose for the day. An A-line sleeveless floral dress with a square neckline which ended about 3 inches above the knees. I also wore a see-through white cardigan on top. Why the light materials? Ha! That’s what one would call strategy! We’ll watch a movie later and when it’s cold, maybe Anthony would try to keep me warm. Hahahahahaha! Ah! My imagination is killing me!

I wore some jewelry, and a hairband in place for the finishing touch. I look so beautiful that I think Anthony would not be able to keep his eyes off me! Praise the lord for my improved aesthetical taste!

Arriving in Daman mall area, I instructed Mr. Matt to buy me a set of shampoo and conditioner at the salon me and my mom frequents. After that, he can take the rest of the day to unwind and he just needs to come back and fetch me by 9pm, the closing time of the mall. I gave him the money needed to buy the set and even gave him extra for his lunch, dinner, and snack time. Of course, he was happy to oblige, while I was also happy to give him the bribe. What? I needed to drive him away or make him go somewhere else, so he won’t know I’m just having a date. What if my Papa asks and he tells him that he just saw me with a guy, and we even entered a hotel together!? No way!

Anyhow, Mr. Matt did not drive the car from the mall entrance until he saw me enter the mall. Inside, I walked a little bit, then about a minute after, I exited again. I did not see my car around anymore and I smirked. Great!

I crossed the street and went inside the Shangri-la hotel. It was 11:35 and I fell in line to process checking-in. Everything only took 5 minutes, and the receptionist gave me the key to room 522, a executive suite.

I used the elevator to go up, pressed 5 and then walked to the room. I tapped the card key and inserted the spare key on the side to switch the power on.

The room was divided to two parts, upon entry was the living room where there was also a study table, and then there’s a door leading to the bedroom. I know that these details were not important we’ll just stay for about 3 hours, but I still felt conscious. What if Anthony thinks that I’m a cheapskate? Ah Michelle, what are you even thinking?

I looked at the comfort room and it looked clean. Well… this accommodation is more spacious than the room I was given in Andy’s Aurora, but that’s in a yacht! Aish, the stupid things I’m concerned about.

Anyway, I think the room is satisfactory and we can perform on the bed, the living room, the study table and even the bathtub. I don’t know about the sanitation of the bathtub though. Maybe it’s fine?  Can I now slap myself silly?

I laughed at myself then I checked the time. It was now 11:45. I placed my bag with some study materials on the sofa. What? I told my parents I’m meeting with friends to study too! So, when I left our house, I was carrying a bag containing them with me. Under the materials, there was also an extra set of clothes just in case. Hehe… I’m smart enough to bring extra!

Thus, with that, I went out of the room, the spare key I did not take from the key holder thing so that the power won’t go off. I prefer the room to be cold when we come here later!
