Not Over You Yet (Senior Years Series #1)

12

He reassured me that he was okay by squeezing my hand and giving me a warm smile. "Let's sit?"

I nodded. "You're not going to greet him?"

Nginitian niya ako ulit at umiling. It was fake, he could've convinced everyone with that smile, but not me.

"So what did you do all day?" pinatong niya yung baba niya sa kamay niya, nakangiti pa rin ng konti, intently listening to whatever I had to say.

I wanted to know what he meant by complicated, I wanted to know more about him, but it seems like ayaw pa niya yun pag-usapan kaya kinwento ko nalang yung ginawa ko sa mall.

He was smiling and laughing the whole time. Sometimes he'd tuck the loose hair behind my ear, sometimes he'd fix my dress. Pinatong pa niya yung napkin sa thigh ko para hindi masyadong kita yung legs ko na nakalabas sa slit.

"Actually natatawa ako kapag nagcha-chat ka sa akin." I glared at him. "I'm sorry" he frowned. "Sad face sad face." pag-mock niya sa messages ko.

"Masaya ka niyan?"

"Oo."

Inirapan ko siya kaya natawa siya.

I smiled cheekily at a thought. "I can drink again right?" Na-miss ko na please, it was like the bar was yelling at me to order something from it.

He rolled his eyes but he nodded.  "Not too much please."

I clapped my hands excitedly at tumayo na bago ko siya hinila papalapit sa bar. Nakita kong nandoon pa rin sina Kyle, Felix at Russel, boyfriend ni Tino, so we joined them.

"Oh, bro. Mukhang okay na kayo, ha?" pang-inis ni Felix nang makalapit kami sa kanya.

Kyle's eyebrows shot up. "Hindi pala kayo okay kanina, kaya pala ang raming tension."

"What tension Kyle?" Tanong ni Russel, setting something up for Felix.

"Edi sexual ten— Aray ko!" Binatukan ni Theo si Felix, ayan bagay mo, kung ano anong lumalabas sa bibig neto. "Kala mo naman mga innocents. Minor moments! Ay si Theo hindi na pala minor." He shifted his gaze towards me. "Mon, minor moments!

Both Kyle and Russel chuckled, habang si Theo nakakagat sa labi niya, winawarningan si Felix, pero siyempre hindi takot yung gago.

Kyle pointed at something that was behind Theo and I "Uy, picture daw."

I turned around to see the photographer pointing his camera at us. Mom hired a known photographer, I've seen his work and ang gaganda!

Nag-ayos kaming lahat bago kami tumingin sa camera. Theo put his hand on my shoulder, ako yung nasa pinaka-gilid habang yung mga lalake magkakatabing nasa kanan ko.

They posed with their drinks on their hand, tapos kaming dalawa ni Theo naka-ngiti lang, I leaned my head a little bit more to his shoulder.

Nung natapos na kaming picturan nung photographer, nag-kwentuhan na yung mga lalake. I wonder how Felix' back is doing, he's been carrying the conversation since a few hours ago. Joke.

Kinausap ko yung bartender and asked for a strawberry daiquiri. Tapos nagpagawa rin ako ng vodka martini para kay Theo. Paano kaya siya kapag lasing?

Is he louder or ganito pa rin siya? Honestly, he would never let me know.

"Guys guys guys!" Daphne, Jasmine, and Justin approached us at the bar. Sina Tino at Riley nandito na rin, I think tinawag sila ni Daphne. "Picture tayo! I found a good place."

Tinignan ko yung photographer na sinusundan siya, 'tong babaeng 'to ginulo ata yung photographer.

Nauna na sila dun sa "Instagram worthy spot" ni Daphne which was really just the balcony that was looking over the beach.
