Chapter Twenty-Nine: Hidden talent revealed
- - -
Shamie's POV
We are now getting ready for our last performance. Ang buong akala ko, my job here is to be like Sandalphon's secretary. Hindi ko naman akalain na kailangan ko pa palang i-showcase ang talents ko.
And dancing. . . Ugh!
I know how to dance, but I'm not sure if I'm good at it. Yun yung talent ko na parang mas okay na hidden nalang para sa akin.
"Relax Shamie," Harley said while we're placing the props we'll use.
"I'm nervous," sagot ko sa kanya and laugh a bit. He held my hand and look at me straight into my eyes.
"It'll turn out well. Trust me," He said and smile. I hope to, sana maganda ang kalabasan. Well, sana lang talaga hindi ko sya maapakan.
"Are you guys ready?" Mr. Kyong asked.
Not yet! I will never be ready! Hahaha!
"Go with your respective positions. I can't wait to see your performance." He added. Okay, magsasayaw na kami.
To describe kung ano ang naging itsura ng buong floor, well, we placed two long chairs to imitate yung may plants. The video kasi na pinanood namin, nasa rooftop sila. And we also placed a circle chair na mababa kasi we have to dance on it too.
Si Marcus yung magpe-play ng music. Nasa stairs kami ni Harley parehas. Dito yung starting point, tapos mamaya sasakupin na namin yung buong floor.
I'm the first one na bumaba from the stairs while holding Harley's hand from the back. The music starts the moment na bitawan ko yung kamay nya and position sa gitna ng room.
"♫♪ Take my hand, take a breath ♫♪"
I offered my right hand to him and he holds it with his left hand. Just like what the song says, he did take a breath. A deep one which made us both laugh a little.
"♫♪ Pull me close and take one step ♫♪"
He pulled me close to him. The next step, I took one step backwards and he took one forward.
Nakatingin sya sa baba, so I held his chin up, yung sakto lang para magtama yung mgamata namin and I looked directly into his eyes. Naka-tingala nga lang ako kasi mas matangkad sya ng konti sakin.
"♫♪ Keep your eyes locked on mine ♫♪"
I held his right hand and placed it on my back, and position ourselves for the next steps.
"♫♪ And let the music be your guide ♫♪"
It starts, we're now dancing a simple slow waltz, not breaking our eye
contacts.
