Diana and Zeus

Diana's POV

"Saan tayo pupunta Z?" tanong ko sa kaniya habang inaayos ang aking buhok sa rear mirror ng kotse niya.

"Sa party." maikling sagot ni Zeus.

"I know, what i mean is where exactly are we going, are we going to a bar? you friend's house or...." sagot ko at napa ngiti naman siya.

"You'll see," i just shut my mouth and didn't bother ask another question. We drove in silence.

I faced the window, watching the streets, streetlights, buildings and the people walking and talking.

We passed by the town square and he turned right where it leads to the port. As we arrive at the port, he got out the car first and he opens mine like a fine gentleman.

"Well, thank you, Z" I smiled at him as he brought me to the boat where we hop on.

"Is that where we going?" sabi ko sabay turo sa yacht na nasa gitna ng dagat. Abot hanggang port ang tunog ng music at ang mga nakakaaliw na ilaw.

"Yes," maikling sagot niya.

Umandar na yung bangka at napahawak ako sa kanyang braso dahil sa bilis ng takbo nito.

Ilang minuto lang ay narating na namin yung yacht at he guided me as I get off the boat.

"Thank you," sabi ko at inayos yung sarili ko bago humarap sa kaniya.

"Do i look okay?" nahihiyang tanong ko sa kaniya.

"You're gorgeous." sabi niya sabay ngiti.

Mas malaki ang yating ito kesa doon sa sinakyan namin ni ate nung nirecruit kami. Maraming tao dito at lahat sila'y mayayaman. Pagkapasok namin sa loob kung saan yung party, napatingin yung ibang tao samin ni Zeus at yung mga babae ay napatingin sakin mula paa hanggang ulo.

"Finally you're here!" napalingon naman ako sa direksyon kung sa'n nanggaling ang boses.

"Thanks for inviting me here, Luke."nag bro hug silang dalawa at napatingin naman sakin si Luke.

"Hey there gorgeous," sabi niya at inalahad ang kanang kamay. "Luke, pleasure to meet you," dagdag pa niya at nag hand shake kami.

"Diana, pleasure to meet you," I replied, smiling.

"You've got a hot girlfriend there Z," Zeus smiled to Luke's comment.

"Oh, I'm no-,"

"Indeed, she's my precious gem," Zeus wrap his hand around my waist as he smirked.

"Luke!" Tawag ng isang may edad na lalake kay Luke at napatingin naman kaming tatlo sa kanya.

"Guess i have to leave you two, i'll see you guys later." Tuluyan ng umalis si Luke at napatingin naman ako kay Zeus na hindi parin kinukuha ang kamay sa aking bewang.

"Hey!" Napasigaw si Zeus ng bigla ko siyang siniko sa tagiliran.

"Adik ka ata Z, let me get this clear, I. AM. NOT. Your girlfriend," napataas yung kilay ko sa reaction niya. He just smiled and brings his lips next to my ears.

"Soon you'll be," he simply said and left me as he joins his friends.

His words left me speechless, wondering what he meant. In order for me to shake off that thought, my legs brought me to the bartender and ordered myself a drink.

I stayed there for a while as i watched the crowd went wild with the upbeat music and dancing rainbow lights. I don't know where Z is but i hope he didn't leave me here.
