He Stole My Heart (Heart Series #3)

10

"I'll be happy if you'll visit me at Ateneo," Drake smiled at me. 

Ngumiti ako sa kanya. He's standing beside me and holding my waist while talking. Kasama namin yung iba naming mga kakilala. I was holding a glass of liqour while also holding on his back. We were laughing with our friends while talking.

"What happened to your finger?" I pointed out when I saw a band aid around his finger.

He looked at me then his finger. "Oh, this. It was an accident." He said before smiling.

"Excuse me."

Agad akong bumitaw kay Drake pero si Drake ay nanatiling nakahawak sa bewang ko. Pareho kaming lumingon kay Levi. He was looking so serious. Nagbaba siya sa kamay ni Drake na nasa bewang ko. Medyo lumayo tuloy ako kay Drake, nagtaka naman si Drake.

"Uy, Levi," bati ni Drake kay Levi. "Kumusta, pre?" Ngumiti pa siya.

Binigyan naman siya ni Levi ng maliit na ngiti. "Ayos naman." Sagot ni Levi at lumapit sa akin. "Excuse us," he said before putting his hands on my waist and pull me away.

"Hala.." rinig kong sabi ni Drake at napatakip pa sa bibig niya.

I gave him an awkward smile at hinayaan na si Levi na hilahin ako paalis doon. Dinala niya ako sa taas, sa mga kasama namin. Pero si Tom, Aries, Luke, at Kuya Pearl lang ang narito. Yung tatlong bruha wala na, malamang nasa baba, sa dance floor na yun sila. Umupo ako sa couch at kumuha ng baso bago ito salinan ng alak. Levi sat beside me and did the same thing.

"Buti nakapunta ka?" I forced a smile.

He didn't look at me and just gave me a nod. "Mm, I was busy the whole day with my readings that's why I couldn't respond to you," He said.

Dahan-dahan naman akong napatango. Hindi ako sumagot at uminom na lang. Pareho kaming tahimik. Lumapit sa amin si Luke at Tom dahil nawala na si Aries at Kuya Pearl. They started to talk to us. I was looking around to watch the people having fun. The three of them was talking while I was listening to them, nakikisali rin ako minsan.

"Wait lang, ha," sabi ko sa kanila at tumayo.

"Where are you going?" Tanong ni Levi at kumunot ang noo.

"Restroom," sabi ko. "Mabilis lang," dagdag ko.

"You want me to join you?" He asked.

Umiling ako. "No. Mabilis lang naman ako," sabi ko. Tumango naman siya at hinayaan na ako.

Bumaba ako at nagpunta sa restroom. I retouched my makeup and washed my hands. After ko sa restroom, paakyat na sana ako nang makita ko si Justin, Asher, Nathan, Drake, at Allen. Allen saw me and waved at me, tinawag na nila ako at pinapunta sa couch nila. I didn't know that they are also here. And Justin? Himala, hindi busy at may time pumunta sa ganto.

"Uy, jowa mo ba si Levi?" Agad na tanong sa akin ni Drake. "Para akong susuntukin sa tingin kanina!" Sabi pa niya.

Napaawang naman ang labi ko at natawa. "Hindi! We're just friends," I told him.

"Oohh, friends," sabay-sabay na sabi ni Allen, Asher, at Nathan. Sinamaan ko sila ng tingin kaya tumawa sila.

Bumaling ako kay Justin. "Did Fiona already see you?" I asked him.

Umiwas siya ng tingin. "We talked," He said. "She left with Laurice.. hindi ko alam kung saan sila pumunta,"

Kumunot ang noo ko. "Ano?" Tanong ko at tumingin sa paligid. There's a lot of people so I really couldn't see them. "Wait lang, ha," paalam ko sa kanila at umalis doon.
