Chapter 37

MABILIS naman akong napatigil. How did he know that I don't like it?

He cross his arms and sat on the edge of the bed. "Dash told me that."

"Ow..." Ngumiti ako, "Maybe now I like it na. Sabi ni mama nagbabago ang taste buds ng tao."

Solitaire stood up and went downstairs. I fix my pillow and start to read a book para dalawin ng antok. A moment later, I heard a strumming coming outside from the door. The door is not lock up or close, it's slightly open. Bumukas ito ng malawak and Solitaire was there, strumming my black shinny guitar with flowers on his mouth. He's strumming the Enchanted by Taylor Swift. Lumakad s'ya papunta sa akin at lean closer so I can get the rose on his mouth.

"Where did you get this?" Tanong ko.

"Neighborhood." He whisper and chuckled.

"Bawal iyon." Sabi ko.

"Just kidding of course."

He sat beside me and continue to strum. He sang along too. Nung matapos s'ya ay tiningnan n'ya ako. Tiningnan ko din s'ya. We're having a conversation only our eyes can be able to understand.

"Why are we acting like teenagers?" Tanong ko sa kanya.

"Why? We should've done this along time ago." Sagot n'ya.

"Ok, Solitaire Ponce what's the big idea?"

He came closer to me and hug me. "It's our first week of being in a relationship."

Kaya pala. Ngumit ako. "Happy first week of being in a relationship with me, then."

"Can you be my world?"

Napatingin ako sa kanya. "You can't. You can't just focus on me. Don't revolve your life around me. Live for yourself, sweetheart. I'mma be your guiding star when you feel lost. I'll will found you and you'll found yourself being found in my arms. I'll promise that."

"But, being world doesn't mean revolving my life around you..." Solitaire caress my cheek and lean on me, "...I mean let me nurture you. I want you to be my ocean. I wanna dive into you. I wanna float with you. I want you to be my forest, show me your beast and demons, I wanna know you more. I wanna be with you 'cause, you're my home."

Napangiti ako. I kiss his forehead. He hugged me until we fell asleep.

SUMMER FEST came and nakarating kami ss Marikina Riverbanks. Doon kase naka sched ganapin ang summer fest ngayon. Nagkaroon lang ng change of plans dahil hindi dumating ang front acts, nagvolunteer na kami na muna ang maunang mag perform since the following bands are big bands.

Potchi was in back stage with us, inihahanda kami. We prayed before we start the performance.

Everything went fine. Its such a big blast. Everyone is cheering for us lalo na at bumalik na si Gwen. People missed our vocalist. The vocalist of the band Maximum. Gwen got a new hair cut and a new hair color. She likes dyeing her hair kapag maglalabas kami ng single and well, now she got a color black and white like Sia.

Una naming tinugtog ang cover song namin ng. Tatlong cover songs. Sunod ang original song ng banda. Tuwang-tuwa kami dahil nakikisabay ang mga tao. The next songs we perform are covers too. Gwen was so silly on the stage. Nanonood kase ang boyfriend n'ya. Nung tumutugtog na ang hotel California, Dash exchange guitar with Solitaire on the stage. Tuloy, si Solitaire ang tumugtog ng sexy part ng Hotel California and I was laughing to myself. Naalala ko kase ang sinabi n'ya tungkol d'yan.
