Fall All Over Again (Completed)

Kabanata 5

Kabanata 5

My confession endlessly played on my mind all night. Kaya kahit idlip ay di ako pinaunlakan. Last night was the best night I've ever had. Finally, the cold and snob Klive Zayden notice me and my feelings. Start na ba ito ng love story namin?

Namula ng husto ang mukha ko matapos kong sabihin ang mga salitang 'yon habang ang mga mata niya ay nakapako lang sa akin.

Para akong mamamatay sa paghihintay ng isasagot niya pero lalo lang lumapad ang ngiti niya. Like a teasing smile.

"I know..." then he leaned forward and gave me peck on my cheeks.

"That's your reward for being brave." his voice sounded so sexy in my ears.

Wala na.. hulog na hulog na talaga ako sayo.

After our dance naupo na muna kami sa aming table. Madami ang nagpapapicture kay Klive pero lahat 'yon ay tinatanggihan niya. He said he's tired, sa dami ng inayos niya para sa event.

"C'mon Vice, just one picture wouldn't hurt. You can sit back after one shot. Gusto ko lang ng souvenir ngayong last year natin sa highschool." si Stacey na kanina pa kinukulit si Klive.

And the way I look at it, mukhang kanina pa naiirita sa kaniya ang lalaki.

"Fine... but Erin should join us." bigla silang tumingin sa akin.

Stacey looked at me like she wanted me out of the picture. While on the other hand, Klive nodded his head on me. Wala tuloy sa loob ko na napatango na lang ako.

"Good. Come closer Erin."

Hinapit niya ang bewang ko palapit sa kaniya habang si Stacey ay nasa tabi ko. Bale ako ang nasa gitna nila. Hilaw na ngiti ang binigay ko habang ang mga kamay ni Klive ay nanatili sa bewang ko. It looks like he's claiming his territory on me by tightening his grip on me. As much as I like it, I know Stacey was looking at us. This was supposed to be their picture together. Bakit ba kasi ako sinali dito?

After a few shots hinila na ako ni Klive paupo.

"You want to eat again? Hindi ka nakakain ng maayos kanina." he asked.

Tama naman siya. Ayoko kasing sumikip ang gown ko kung mapaparami ako ng kain, saka baka masira ang make-up ko.

"Ah hindi na.. okay na ako." but my stomach tells otherwise.

Ang totoo medyo nakaramdam ako ng kaunting gutom, nahihiya lang siguro ako magrequest ulit ng pagkain.

"No you should eat. I'll request some food for our table. Di rin ako nakakain ng maayos kanina. We'll eat together.. hmm?"

The tone of his voice sounded so concerned. Si Klive ba talaga 'tong kausap ko?

We enjoyed our food while everyone are having fun at the dance floor. Carrie and Louise asked me to join them but since I felt so full, I couldn't.
I find myself smiling just by looking at the crowd. Nakakapawi kahit papaano ng pagod dahil nag-eenjoy ang lahat.

"Ang saya nila tignan... This is all because of you."

He looked at my direction and smirked.

"Nah.. This isn't all mine... you're a part from it."

I excused myself to go to the restroom. Mag-isa lang ako dahil abala pa rin sa pagsayaw ang dalawa. Halos hindi ata nawawalan ng energy. Pagbalik ko sa table namin ay nandoon na naman si Stacey at kinakausap si Klive.. I can see her persistence.

"Vice, sana sa susunod na event tayong dalawa naman ang mag-organize. I'm sure it'll be fantastic." I heard her say.

"I've done so much for this foundation week and I think it's better for you to organize yours without my help. Ikaw ang president, you should be more capable doing it one your own." Klive blantly said. His legs are crossed, his arms are folded and his brows are furrowed.
