THE CHASE

16th RUNNER- Cheeziness Overload

Red's POV

We danced like animals. Then the music died down. Binayadan na namin yung bartender. Ewan kung bat natapos na yung game. Ni hindi namin alam kung sino yung panalo.

Napalitan yung music in somewhat relaxing one. Lalo na't hilo na ako. It was a reggae version of all of me.. NICE. (MEDIAAA UP)

Most of the people began to sit, some just danced again.

I felt like floating. He took me by the waist at ginaya nya dun sa dance floor. He pulled me close. I automatically wrapped my arms around his neck. Binaon ko yung mukha ko sa dibdib nya. 

Yeah, like flying huh.

May napansin ako sa kanya, I smelled more. Natawa ako.

"New perfume?" I raised a brow at him.

Napangiti sya. "I thought you liked fruits, 'cause you bought a lot of fruity drinks..." He smiled down at me.

Natawa ako.. Napailing lang naman sya.

He usually smelled like cigarettes and aqua.. Basta mabango.

Now he smelled like cigarettes and fruitS.. natatawa ako.. Sweet.

We swayed like that. We were so close na parang magka-akap na kami.

I began to speak habang pinatong ko yung baba ko sa balikat nya.. "Si Terrence.." Pag uumpisa ko..

I felt him stiffed. "Hindi mo kailangan sabihin sakin if you don't want to." He brushed my hair. I closed my eyes at dinama yung moment.

"But I want to. You deserve that much. For being there for me. It's a way of saying thanks to you." Naramdaman kong tumango sya, giving me the sign na ituloy ko..

"Terrence De Vela.. Gwapo, mabait.. wehh" I snorted out

Nadinig kong tumawa sya ng konti

"Well akala ko mabait. When I first met him it was at a train station. Nakaupo ako sa bench while nag aantay ako ng tren. Alangan namang pagudin ko sarili ko kakatayo. Hindi ako hibang." Dinig kong tumawa nanaman sya

"Tapos nung dumating na yung tren, madaming tao. Punuan, kaya I've decided that I'll take the other one. If you are going to ask na baka malate ako.. No.. Late didn't matter to me. Hindi ako late, maaga lang sila."

"So habang nag aantay ako sa bench, there he was puffing and sweating as he climbed the escalator just to catch the train. I told him he just missed it as I was reading my book. Well apparently, we went to the same school together. Tumabi sya sakin. Syempre nandidiri ako sakanya."
