A rose gold gown perfectly emphasizes my waist, thin rose gold necklace emphasizing my collarbone. The bracelet that Terran gave me, added elegance to my outfit.
Once again, I entered the venue from the room after I changed outfit once I finished dinner. Flashing of cameras and phones welcomed me as I walked my way to the couch at the front.
The emcee started calling names of the guys included in my 18 roses. The pink roses was given to me one by one.
"Baka Ate ko 'yan." Pagbibiro ni Matty nang i-abot niya sa 'kin 'yung rose. Hinampas ko nang mahina ang braso niya dahil 'di ako sanay na sweet siya!
"'Wag ka mambola." I rolled my eyes at him before telling him to look at the camera beside us dahil pipicturan kami.
"Happy birthday, Ate. Oh, nakita mo na si Elouise ha!" Sabi niya at napatingin sa girlfriend niya sa table sa gilid.
"Yeah, I'm okay naman with her. Basta happy ka. 'Wag mo sasaktan 'yon, itatakwil talaga kita 'pag nagloko ka tamo." Sabi ko at ginulo 'yung buhok niya.
"Happy birthday, Talia." Klyne greeted me as he handed the pink rose to me.
"Thank you." I smiled at him before telling him to look at the camera beside us while we were dancing. Laging may isang shot muna kasi bago sumayaw.
"How are you? Hindi tayo masyadong nag-uusap." Sabi niya bigla nang matapos kami picturan.
"Medyo busy e. Next time! Gala ulit tayo." I suggested. Sunod sunod na tinawag ang mga nasa 18 roses list. Nagulat pa ako nang tawagin si Lucas! Siya pala ang ipinalit doon sa isa! Sabi kasi e hindi makakarating 'yung pang 17th rose ko!
"Hey, I'm sorry if I'll make you feel uncomf-"
"No, no... it's okay! Ano ka ba! I didn't know anak ka pala ni Ninang! Hindi mo rin alam?" I laughed. Grabe, napakaliit ng mundo.
"Hindi. I never come with her every time makikipagmeet siya sa friends niya na kasama mga anak nila." He shook his head. "Kung alam ko lang isa ka dun, e 'di sana sumama na ako lagi." He said making me laugh and hit him a little.
"And for the 18th rose, may we call on Mr. Terran Cyrus Chavez to be the last dance of our dear debutant." The emcee called his name.
My gaze went from the flowers I'm holding to Terran who's walking his way in front of me. He reached for my left hand and planted a kiss on it before handing me the 18th rose. He placed his hand on my waist before looking at the camera beside us.
"Happy birthday, my love." He leaned closer and whispered. He fixed the strands of my hair falling in front of my face while I was just looking at his eyes.
Hindi ka pwedeng kiligin, Talia. Maraming taong nakatingin at recorded pa 'to lahat. Lowkey lang dapat tayo!
"Thank you, love." His eyes widened a bit upon hearing what I've said.
"Hmm, I guess you had fun with your 17th rose." He smirked making me frown.
"Selos ka?" I teased him. He leaned a little while we were dancing to whisper on my ear.
"Mhm, I dance better than him though." He shrugged and lowkey placed a kiss on my cheek. Nababaliw ako! Sa boses niya, sa paghinga niya sa tainga ko, sa paghaplos niya sa kamay ko!
