O Silent Night (Isla de Vista Series #1)

Chapter 16

Chapter 16: Second time

"When the Gomez's throws a party, expect that all those elite children in the social world are invited." kanina pa nagpapahayag si Jenna habang namimili ng damit.

Kinagat ko ang maliit na parte ng aking pang-ibabang labi. Nakabaliktad ang pameywang ng aking kaliwang kamay habang nakatitig sa damit na nasa higaan. I have party dresses in our closet and Jenna is aware of that so we did not go to the store.

"Balita ko pa nga girlfriend ni William si Helene Smith, the actress. Pero it's just rumors, they might be just f-buddies."

"Didn't thought you're still fan of gossips," sabi ko.

She shrugged and let herself fall on my new bedsheets. Nakatayo pa rin ako, nakatingin ulit sa apat na damit na nasa higaan.

"Maganda ang blue. You should try it," aniya.

Bumukas ang pintuan sa kanan, hindi ako bumaling doon. From the live atmosphere itself, I know Elijah's home.

"Hello, Elijah!" Jenna smirked.

I felt him stroding near me until a hand wrapped around my waist and the other one remained on my stomach. Dinampian niya ng halik ang aking pisngi habang hinaplos ko ang kanyang braso.

Tinext ko siya kanina na uuwi ako sa condo para maghanap ng damit na maisusuot mamayang gabi. He said he'll go home too and we'll look for his suit kaya nandito siya ngayon.

"May suit akong nakita sa closet, blue or black looks good on you," sabi ko.

He kissed my neck this time kaya bumaling ako sa kanya. He is pursuing his soft lips at me right now like a kid.

"We're going?" mahina niyang bulong.

I nodded. "We have to. And you'll help me chose my dress,"

Tumango naman siya at hindi na ulit nagtanong. Doon ko lang naalala muli ang presensya ni Jenna na tahimik siyang nakasandal sa headboard namin at nakatingin sa amin ni Eli.

"Can I say something?" she grinned like a mad dog.

Tumingin ako sa kanya at nagtaas ng kilay. "Shoot."

She pointed the blue dress. "The one with high thigh slit is hot. Also, kailan mong takpan ang hickeys mo kaya, iyan na."

Namilog ang aking mata sa binanggit niya. Kumindat lamang siya bago humalakhak ng malakas. Nasa aking kanang balikat naman nagpapahinga ang panga ni Elijah. Mas lalong naramdaman ko ang hiya dahil kalmado lang siya habang ito ako, halos nagtatago na sa hiya.

"I noticed the mark when you took off your blazers. No biggie," halakhak niya.

Ngumuso ako ng bahagya. "Right,"

"Gusto ko rin ang blue, hindi revealing." puna ni Elijah.

"It's a bit too layered..." mahina kong singgit.

The blue dress has a thigh slit that's high but that is the only part where it is showing much skin. It has a layered ruched top with enough round neckline and a sheer sleeves. It's like a dress for royals except slit.

"Maganda nga iyan, Ambegirl. Paulit ulit nalang ako," daing ni Jenna. "Bagay sa dark blue suit ni Elijah."

I sighed softly. "I'll try this,"

"Yeah, you should. Kanina ka pa nakatitig diyan. Akala mo naman kusang gagalaw iyan para maisuot mo." tawa niya.

Kinuha ko ang dress kaya napabitaw si Elijah sa akin at naglakad ako patungo sa full body mirror ng kwarto. Ngumuso ako habang nakatingin sa sarili roon.
