Destined to be In Love by Fearless Pinoy (e book free reading .txt) 📕

“So, what’s your plan now Nadine?” my friend Cherry asks me. If you’ll ask me why the heck she is asking then it’s because my Mom and Dad left Seattle to visit my grandparents in the countryside. I didn’t go with them because I’m busy planning my design for this coming fashion week of our school. And if you’ll ask what’s connection about it, well duh! Party some kind of stuff at our place!

“You know what I’m thinking, don’t you Cherry?” I smirk. “No way, throwing a party again? You’re just kind of brat!” she snaps. “You know me well” I smile.

Let me introduce myself, I’m Nadine Stone a 20 years old girl who is so addicted of parties. I don’t know but my parents didn’t bother to be upset about it! I’m just the only child and I couldn’t care less. I’m not that selfish or anything but I’m just a straight forward person. But don’t you dare ask me about love, because I don’t like love expect of course the way I love my friends and family.

Cherry and I are reading the Racetrack Rider Community Magazine, from Whidbey Island. The said magazine is all about the fashions and the way the Community Members outfit. Apparently, the publisher of the said magazine is making his way to encounter the world of fashion for the girls. “Life is Fun with Clothes” it is a summer edition with their first female model Francheska Shawn – Crawford, she’s a married young girl to one of the most well-known bachelor and a member of the Racetrack Rider Community Jed Crawford.

“She’s so beautiful” Cherry exclaims admiring the beauty of Mrs. Crawford. Well, I too admit that she’s really elegant and beautiful. “I want to enter that Racetrack Rider Community!” Cherry shouts with admiration.

Well, I can’t blame her because more than half of the girls wanted to enter that same Community but unfortunately, the owner of the Rider Community is too strict. The Racetrack Rider Community is an exclusive luxurious for the well-known and handsome guys; Media and outsiders are forbidden from that place unless if you are invited by one of the members of the Community.

“Nadine, I just notice that you don’t talk too much. Is there any problem?” Cherry interrupts my introduction. I smirk at her but continue reading the magazine. “Hey, you’re so mean” she slaps me at my lap that makes me gasps. “What the heck was that for?” I yell. “That’s for you being so mean to me, you just ignore me” she pouts. I slap her back but now full of laughter.

Cherry was been my best friend from who knows when. She live with me because she’s an orphan, her parent’s died in a car crash. My parent’s treat her like my own sister because we’re just too close. We’re in the same roof and in the same class but that doesn’t mean that I’m tired looking at her face because the truth is I’m not. “Well, what are you thinking?” she asks. “Nothing, I’m just admiring the new magazine and I’m wishing that I can grab some hot chocolate from the cafeteria” I sigh.

“Well, you better grab alone because I need to continue my sketches for our fashion week and our party tonight” she giggles. Like me, she’s also a party goer and mom points me as the suspect of Cherry being a party goer. “Well, okay. Do you want something to drink too?” I ask before leaving. “Nope, I’ll just make my own!” she smiles.

Then I nod at her and went on my way. I didn’t leave the magazine because I want to read it while I’m drinking my hot chocolate. The said cafeteria is just below 3 floors from our condo unit, so there’s not much to walk.

I arrive at the cafeteria and order my hot chocolate. “Look who’s here?” Vanessa the owner of the cafeteria smiles at me. “The usual” I smile. Vanessa was also my close friend; we’ve been classmates since grade and middle school. “I heard that your parents are not around, so…” “Don’t worry you’re invited” I smirk. A party goer like me, I grab my order and sit on my favorite table beside the window.

While reading the magazine and thinking of different fashion outfit, I look around the cafeteria and as usual the other condo unit owners are here. “Hey! What are you doing here?” I jump out from my sit and look at the owner of the voice. “Vanessa! What the heck!” I snap and sat down again. “You’re just too serious looking for that good looking guys” she teases.

When it comes to guys, I don’t really care. “You’ve been known as the most addicted party hosts with alcoholic drinks but in the party you just stay away from the guys!” she sighs with amusement. “You know that I don’t like boys! I don’t find them attractive” I said. “What kind of girl are you?” she mouths. “I don’t know maybe more mature than you?” I smirk. “Well if that’s the case, you’ll die being a virgin!” she smirks back while my mouth drops open.

“Do you literally need to shout it?” I snap but she’s still smirking like in a childish way. I was able to pinch her when one man enters the cafeteria that catches my attention. “What a handsome gift from above” Vanessa whispers, but before she knew that I was also admiring the handsome man I look away quickly.

“Do you see what I see Nadine?” Vanessa mouths at me. “I raise my left brow and back my attention to the magazine I’m reading. “I don’t care and I’m busy thinking some fashion outfits” I said. “Well, I better assist the new arrive handsome boy and well you know, might talk to him or something” she giggles.

I watch her intently walking towards the handsome young man.I thought you don’t have any interest in boys?

My subconscious spats and makes me look away at them. Why can’t I resist him? I shook my head and there I know the magazine fell down on the floor. I was going to pick it up when a hand grab it.

I was piss and gaze at the owner and ready to yell but it was the handsome young man. He’s reading the magazine and then smiles at me. Jeez, I’m just wearing my pajamas.

Life is full of surprises. “Do you like it?” he asks. “W-what?” I ask nervously, what the heck is going on?

“I mean the magazine, do you find it fascinating to read?” he asks again and he gives the magazine back at me. “Oh! Yes” I said.

He smiles at me and it makes my world stop for a while and then his phone rings, then he answer it and turn around his heels away from me. “Hi… Mr. Rodriguez… yeah I’m not busy I’m just taking a coffee then I’ll be on my way. See you then” then he hangs up. He looks back at me and smile “Sorry for that, so about the magazine?” before I can answer his question, his phone rings again.

Oh my, is he that really busy? He then sigh and answer it “Hello…Mr. Santiago… I’ll just give you an update about it. Goodbye” then he hangs up again. He looks at me and gives me an apologetic smile. “I’m sorry to disturb you, I have to go” then off he went.

Darn! I don’t even know his name!

I was being paralyzed so I just gaze at him as he walks out from the cafeteria. It takes a long pause before I was interrupted by a smack on my back. What’s with people? I turn around and there I saw Cherry and Vanessa giggling like idiots.

“Finally, there’s a man catches your attention” Cherry teases. “He didn’t catch my attention” I said and sit down on my seat again. “I think he likes you but…” “No he doesn’t like me” I cut Vanessa’s imagination off. “Why? did he tell you?” Cherry teases and now she’s sitting beside me. “Leave me alone! I’m busy” I snap.

“She’s denying the truth and that’s bad” Vanessa exclaims. “So bad” Cherry adds. I want to cut their heads off but decided to keep quiet. After all, that man is the first man that catches my attention. If only I know his name then maybe, just maybe… “She’s thinking about it” Vanessa and Cherry teases me at the same time.

“Whatever” I said irritatingly. “Oh! She’s mad!” they giggle. “If you keep on teasing me then I might not approve the party tonight!” I spat and there they keep their mouth shut.Peace and quiet!

I stand up and excuse myself from both of them.

I went back to my condo unit and start sketching my fashion design and the thought of that man I just met still lingering in my mind. I shook my head again and refresh my memory, when Cherry interrupts me with a cough. “You keep on following me” I hiss. “I always do that to you” she smirks. “Now what? You will tease me again?” I said. “I will stop teasing you if you’ll admit that you like him” she states.

“Fine, I might sort of like him ish!

” there I surrender my secret. She smiles and hugs me tight! “I’m so happy for you” she jumps until she’s gasping with air. I give her a confuse look and sigh! “I think we need to invite him to our party! What do you think?” she smirks. “I think you better shut your mouth or else I will cancel the…” “Oh no girl, you can’t cancel the party because it will starts at 1 hour!” she shouts full of happiness.

I shook my hand and went straight to my bed, yeah right. I can’t cancel a party because I myself loved parties and duh! Who am I kidding? My phone rings and I quickly answer it without checking the caller I.D “Hello?” “Oh my sweetheart, why didn’t you came along with your parents?” and it’s my grandmother “I’m busy and I have to be ready for the fashion week gram” “It explain, well honey be careful and please visit your old pals here” then we both hang up.

“Nadine! Be ready alright? We need to finish decorating the whole house!” Cherry shouts from the bottom of her lungs. “You can do it! I’ so damn tired and I haven’t even started my sketches for the fashion week” I yell back.

I thought she would agree but surprisingly she slam my bedroom door and pull me out of the room. “What was that for?” I ask “Let me tell you, I might be your best friend
