Just a Chance (Aces Band Series #1)

Chapter 19

I am still looking at him and waiting for his response. He just stared at me blankly and acts like he didn't hear anything.

Biglang gumuho ang lakas ng loob na inipon ko nang nilagpasan niya lang ako.

"Mom let's go home now, I'm tired. Let's just continue this welcome thing there." He said without looking to anyone.

Nakatalikod lang siya sa amin. Tumingin naman ako sa mga kaibigan namin at binigyan lang nila ako ng isang tipid na ngiti at tumango. Pinaparating na magpatuloy lang ako at sinunod ko naman 'yon.

There's no place for giving up to me right now, I have waited so long for this time and I also prepared myself for this so I won't waste it. I will stop when I'm tired, but if I know that I can still fight for him... that I can still chase him, I will do everything... anything just to get him.

I am Elaiza Velasquez, and in this chapter of my life, I will do everything to get him. I will do anything to have a chance over him. I will do something that will make my chase worth it.

"Ian," pumunta ako sa harapan niya.

Humugot ako ng isang malalim na hininga. Pinigilan ko ang panginginig ng katawan habang nakatingin sa mga kulay tsokolate niyang mata.

"What?!" Tumaas ang isang kilay niya. "If you're here just to waste my time, back off, I don't need you." He said in a stern voice.

Hindi ako nagpatinag. "You're tired right? Let's go, I'll take you home. I'll be the one driving." I smiled, trying to hide all of the emotions killing me while seeing that he has no interest with everything that I do.

"I can manage," tumalikod siya sa akin at tiningnan si Tita Iza.

"Hijo I think it's better if you'll be with Ela, hindi tayo magkakasya sa sasakyan ni Reighn." Sabi ni Tita sa kaniya. "Kay Ela na lang rin kami sasabay ng Daddy mo at ni Ina." Hinawakan na niya ang mga maleta nila, ready na para umalis.

"Then Cassy will be with you and I'll be with the boys." Ian said and went closer to the boys.

"No I'll stay with the boys," sabi naman ni Cassy at kumindat sa akin habang hindi nakatingin si Ian sa kaniya.

"Ang tigas ng ulo mo, doon ka nga kay Miss Velasquez." Marahan niyang tinulak si Cassy.

Miss Velasquez

Really? Miss huh? Hindi ko alam kung ano ang dapat kong maramdaman. He just called me Miss at hindi ako sanay na ganoon siya. Did he changed into what I want him to be or did he changed into the more worst one?

Napayuko ako. Nag-iisip ng pwedeng gawin para mapapayag siyang sumama sa akin. This man is so hard to convince, damn you Ian. Ba't ba ang tigas tigas mo sa akin.

"Asher ikaw na lang ang sumama sa akin, sila Ian na lang doon kay Reighn." Deep inside I want to smirk. What a brilliant idea Ela.

"Okay," lumapit si Asher sa akin.

"I changed my mind, kay Ela na lang ako para kasama ko sila Mom." Lumapit naman ngayon si Ian sa akin.

Bahagya akong ngumisi at nang nasa harap ko na siya ay umakto akong inosente. "Akala ko ba kila Reighn ka sasabay? It's fine, si Asher na lang ang sasabay sa amin." Hinawakan ko pa ang kamay ni Asher para hilahin na ito.

Napatigil ako nang may naramdaman akong malamig na kamay na humawak sa palapulsuhan ko. "I said I'll be the one who'll come with you." Mariin niya akong tiningnan.

Umiwas ako nang tingin. I want to scream. Is he jealous?

"Stop imagining things woman, I will join you because I want to be with Mom." I don't know why he needs to explain, he just sounded more defensive.
