Dance The Pain Away

Chapitre Dix-sept

Drunk

"Court me." Bigla akong napa-ubo dahil sa sinabi niya.

Merde, what did she say?

"Kabag lang 'yan, ma'am." I said while nodding as if I was convincing myself when I finally recovered from the shock.

Tangina, pakiramdam ko tinakasan ako ng kaluluwa.

I turned my back on her and started walking so she wouldn't see me blushing.

Bawal ang marupok, Ari.

While we were walking back to the pool area I could feel her sharp gaze from behind me so I was a bit anxious. With the look she was giving me, it was as if she was already eating me alive inside her mind, so I couldn't help but swallow hard because of the intense nervousness creeping through my entire system.

Lord, bless me.

I am not fragile and I will not give in to her cute side... Nah-ah, definitely not.

Bear with it, Ari.

I just breathed a sigh of relief when we got to our table. At the same time, my friends that was also dragged returned with their crimson red cheeks too.

Success!!!

Looks like I wasn't the only one who faced an angel looking Satan.

Khai even teased us when we arrived so he was showered with different types of profanities from the three of us.

"Ari, kanta ka nga ulit." Sabi ni Ried.

"Tigilan mo si Anari, Coronel." Pananaway sakanya ni Harm.

"Last na, Luan!" Pamimilit niya kaya napabuntong hininga nalang ako.

Tangina, pakiramdam ko umiikot na ang mundo.

"Duet kayo ni Khaios, Ari!" Nakangising sabi ni Kyshin kaya agad na nanlaki ang mata ko.

Gago!

Gago ulit!

Gusto ko pa mabuhay!!!

"Sige ba! Payag naman 'yan si Ari, diba?" Pang-aasar ni Khai.

"Oo-"

"No." She cut me off.

Ito na, sinasabi ko na nga ba.

"Why, ma'am?" Walang emosyong tanong ni Harm, nang-aasar.

Pati ba naman siya? Jusmiyo.

"She will sing with me." Ah, yun naman pala-

Ano raw? Lasing na nga siguro ako.

"Pardon, ma'am?" Tanong ni Harm.

"You're forgiven." Napahagikhik ako dahil sa sagot niya kay Harm.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit napunta siya sa table namin kasi kanina nandoon siya sa table ng mga kapwa niya propesor.

"We'll sing together." She said with finality.

Pala desisyon talaga 'to si mommy.
