I am the Long Lost Princess

Lia's POV

Nang lumalim na ng husto ang gabi, niyaya ako ni Kris na sumayaw at pumayag naman ako.

Nang mapagod, bumalik din kami sa pwesto namin. Si Jai naman nakatingin lang sa akin habang nakaupo sa upuan nya

Sa totoo lang, ang pogi talaga nya ngayon, araw araw naman siyang pogi pero mas pogi sya ngayon.

"Psst" mahinang tawag ko kay Jai

Lumingon siya sa akin, ay hindi, buong katawan nya iniharap nya sa akin.

"What? Do you need anything? Nagugutom ka?" He asked and hold my hand

"Hindi mo ko isasayaw?" Pakapalan kong tanong sa kanya

Napangiti siya sa tanong ko at hinalikan ulit ang kamay ko.

Sana naging kamay nalang ako

Bakit kamay lang hinahalikan?

"I'm just waiting for the right time, Mi amor"

As if on cue, the Dean of Senior High speak on the mic

"For whoever has not been dancing, this is your chance to dance with your friends, crush, or even partners, as we will proceed to the last dance before announcing the Prom King and Queen"

"And that's the right time. Puedo tener este baile, mi amor?"

"Sí" I said with a wide smile on my face.

He also smiled happily at me as I give him my hand

We walked to the dance floor hand in hand.

Yung mga ibang students and mga sumasayaw at napapatingin lang samin but, for now, I don't care, I am with the guy I like so might as well treasure it.

He put his hand on my waist and I put mine on his shoulder.

He's just looking at me with full of admiration in his eyes.

"Ganito rin ba mga tugtugan sa mga ball ng mga Royal Family?"

"Nope, in a Royal Ball, walang kumakanta tulad nyan na may band, it's just classical music, pure instrumental"

"Classic lang talaga? Walang modern music?"

"There are, pero instrumental lang talaga. Bihira yung mga ganitong banda, pero if they will get a band to perform mga makaluma yung mga kinakanta or just mellow hindi talaga yung pang-party"

"Do you also party? I mean, are you allowed to attend a birthday ng classmate or yung pumasok sa mga bar or clubs?"

"In legal age, yes, pero hindi yung mga club na pang-wild people. Bawal yun, it's against the rules" sabi nya kaya napatango tango ako.

Nagpatuloy lang kami sa pagsasayaw hanggang sa mapagod at sakto lang sa pag-upo namin yung pag-stop ng music.

He's my last dance.

Sabi nila it's not important who your first dance is, what matters is who you will give your hand for a last dance.

And I gave my last dance to him, and I am his first and last dance.

Indeed memorable and romantic

Napatingin kami kay Dean nang magsimula siyang magsalita sa stage.

Napapansin ko rin ang matalim na tingin ng kambal sa akin dahil nasa likod na table lang namin sila.

"Now, we will crown this year's Prom King and Queen, are you guys ready?"

Halos lahat naghihiyawan dahil sa excitement na nararamdaman.

"Pusta ko si Tofi, ikaw ang magiging Prom Queen" sabi ni Kris kaya sinamaan ko sya ng tingin
