11 HE'S ENGAGED-3

Alexa was so embarrassed, as soon as she reaches the safe-haven of her room; she locked it and stand behind the door with heartbeat pumping like 150 miles per hour. *Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud....* "Slow down 'heart,' don't give me a heart attack.'' She was mumbling to herself while massaging her left chest, trying to control her emotion that currently going haywire.

Ramon's face turned all red from embarrassment; he didn't expect it to happen that way, it just did. He needs to do something or Alexa might not want to come out of the room, and she has an appointment with someone.

Ramon walked towards the bedroom and knocked at the door. *Knock, knock!* Alexa, it's me, I only want to inform you that I didn't see anything alright!, If you are feeling embarrassed due to what happened, think nothing of it. Remember you have an appointment, and we need to get going."

Alexa heard every word Ramon said. However, she's still hesitant to reply. She took a couple of breath first, 'inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale,' when she felt calmer, she then replied. " Alright! I should be out there in a minute. Oh! Ramon, thank you! Hehe!"

Alexa doesn't have much time to doll herself up, she put on a nice collared polo shirt, a dress pants to match and flat shoes. Once done, she put her hair up in a bun to make her a little more professional. She was about to get out when she thought of something else to make her more mature, she took out from the drawer a pair of clear eyeglasses and put it on for effect.

She gave herself a once over, after making sure all in place and she now looks like a professor. [Hahaha!] She laughs at her image in the mirror; it reminds her of the English Teacher she had back in High School. [An oldmaid]

Ramon was surprised by her transformation, Alexa now looks prim and proper. He had to blink a couple of time to ensure he's not hallucinating. "What's with the get-up? Do you have to dress like a spinster, hahaha!" He jokingly commented for Alexa to feel at ease.

"Whatever! I thought I was trying to look professional, not a spinster. However, whatever works is fine by me. Professional or Spinster, doesn't matter." Alexa replied to Ramon's banter.

"Hahaha! You're still funny as ever; you haven't changed a bit. The only difference now is..." Ramon didn't finish what he's about to say. Alexa might take it in a wrong way, and he doesn't want that to happen. He still has a favor to ask, and if he pisses her off, she might change her mind.

"Let's get out of here; I don't have much time left." Alexa wrapped her arms at Ramon's shoulder acting like nothing had happened earlier to ease the tension building again.

"Let's go then!" Ramon wrapped his arms at Alexa's shoulder in return and walked out of the house laughing with each other.
