This Unexpected Love

Chapter 23

Feelings

It's so awkward. Natahimik lang lahat and naka-tingin silang lahat sa amin ni Kevin kase kame lang nakatayo. Kevin slightly clears his throat so I looked at him. Para namang okay lang siya, intimidating na intimidating tignan kahit ang awkward na ng situation.

"I'll be going so you guys can enjoy..." He whispered to me so I nod and smiled at him. Humarap ako sa barkada and cleared my throat.

"Uhm guys actually Kevin will go na..." I said and they nod and smiled at Kevin. Humarap ulit ako kay Kevin kahit aware naman akong pinapanood nila kame.

"So uhm, saan ka ngayon? Makikipag-kita ka kila Irvine?" I asked Kevin and it's awkward kase alam kong nakikinig sila and they're watching us.

"I'll be staying at our hotel room, I'll wait for you there cos Jen told me we're going to this party again later..." He told me and so I smiled at him and he did the same and nag-paalam na siya sa barkada and he left so I awkwardly sit beside Ashley and lalong awkward kase katapat ko si Josiah.

"Wow Denise you're boyfriend is so intimidating... Well I understand why he is that intimidating. He's the CEO of KGC, youngest eligable bachelor in this world. Wow Denise!" Ashley exclaimed and yon hindi naman awkward kase nakakatuwa daw na na-meet nila si Kevin and mukhang okay naman daw siya. It's getting colder and colder kahit may bonfire. It's because I'm wearing my maxi dress and yung tela nito is very thin. Napa-tingin ako kay Josiah and Krisha. Krisha's leaning at Josiah's arms, they look so sweet because Krisha's saying something to Josiah and it seems like he's really listening to her. They look so cute together.

I suddenly felt a warm fabric at my shoulders, I looked up and it was Kevin. Napatingin na naman lahat sa kanya.

"Sorry to interrupt you guys I just notice it's so cold there in our hotel room and I bet it's more cold here so I just uhm, bring this to her. I'll go now." He said and he was about to go when Pierre speak.

"Pare why not stay with us? May drinks kame dito tara" Pierre told him na parang chill lang.

"Oo nga Kevin and besides Denise is the princess of this gang so you're also part of this gang na din" Matt said and nag-approve si Trisha and Ashley. Kevin slightly blushed because he's shy. He looked at me with his uncomfortable smile and natawa tuloy ako.

"Come on Kev" i told him and he sit beside me. And nakakatuwa kase sobrang chill nila kay Kevin. They keep on talking to him especially the boys. They're good at him at parang kabarkada na talaga nila ang turing nila kay Kevin. I thought they would be mad at Kevin pero hindi naman pala. Nagkekwentuhan ang lahat and napansin kong nakalean na ko sa chest ni Kevin. I mean I'm between his legs and I'm leaning on his chest, gets niyo? I didn't even notice na ganito na posisyon namen. We really look like a couple haha.

"You're friends are cool... They really are." He whispered kaya napangiti ako. Yes my friends are really cool. I can tell na totoo ko pala silang mga kaibigan. Kase matapos ko silang talikuran they're still here for me. Sinusuportahan pa rin nila ako. I'm so lucky.

I looked up at Kevin my head placed on his shoulders.

"Mukha ngang hiyang-hiya ka kanina eh. What happened to the intimidating look of KGC CEO?" I asked him preventing myself from laughing.

"It's really awkward don't laugh at me, I swear that's the most embarassing moment in my life." He said and hindi ko na napigilan natawa na ko.

"Nakooo may sariling mundo naman tong dalawang to eh wag kayong masyadong sweet pwede ba baka mag-bitter si Ezra at Jacob" nagtawanan lahat sa sinabe ni Pierre and they're all looking at us.

"Oh sorry guys I just can't..." And I laugh again. Sorry I just can't help it. I bit my lip and cleared my throat.

"Sorry talaga guys okaaaay so nasan na nga?" I asked them and I hear Kevin laughing slightly at my ears. I looked at him and pinched his arms a big kase matatawa na naman ako.

"Haaays sabi namen hiwalay muna girls and boys masyado kayong diyang magkadikit eh baka di na kayo magkahiwalay" sabi ni Matt kaya nagblush ako. Tumayo na sila so tumayo na din si Kevin and he helped me stood up. Pumunta dun sa kabilang side ang ibang boys

"Go Kev kaya mo yan, earn more friends mababait mga yan haha" he nods and pumunta na siya sa mga boys while I sit beside Trisha and sa harap namen is Krisha and Ashley.

"Wow Denise I didn't expect na sobrang sweet niyo, that Kevin guy is really good. Alagang-alaga ka niya kaya approve siya" sabi ni Ashley. I smiled at her. Hindi ko naman napapansin na sweet kame ni Kevin.

"True. And you look so happy together, I can see the way Kevin looks at you, and I can see na he's very inlove with you." Trisha said and napailing nalang ako thinking na Kevin likes someone else. Not me. And we're just pretending. But we don't mind that issue actually, we treat each other as close friends. He's telling me everything and I do the same.

"Err thanks." Cos I don't know what to say or how to react on what they said. Napatingin kaming lahat sa biglang tumayo, Krisha.

"Uhm excuse me lang guys cr lang ako" sabi ni Krisha tapos tumayo din si Ashley.

"Sama ko kanina pa ko ihing-ihi hahaha" then yun umalis na sila.

"Si Kevin ba yung reason kung bakit... Kung bakit kinailangan mong iwan si Dustin?" I slowly nod. Masakit parin pala talagang isipin na nanloko ka ng isang tao na walang ginawa kundi pasayahin ka at ingatan ka.

"Well, I don't know na okay na okay na kayo. But that's a good news. I can see na napapasaya ka niya ng sobra, kita ko yon sayo." Trisha said at kahit ako nagulat sa sinabe niya.

"Trisha we're just pretending. We're pretending na masaya kaming married couple infront of our relatives. And we act as lovers infront of our friends. We're not really onto each other" i said but it feels like my heart is not saying the same thing ugh. I looked at Kevin and he's happily talking to my friends. Good thing they liked him.

"I see different Denise. You like each other, I can see it through your eyes and his eyes. I can see na naka-move on ka na talaga" Trisha say and medyo nahirapan pa kong iprocess lahat ng sinabe niya. I don't know.

"You're quite confused pansin ko sayo yon. But really Denise, I see na naka-move on ka na. Maiisip mo minsan na parang hindi kase siyempre first love mo si Dustin, maapektuhan ka lang. That's normal. Pero naka-move on ka na try to think about it." Napa-tahimik ako sa sinabe ni Trisha and I got confused. Iniisip ko kung tama siya. She's right, I already moved on but I'm still affected. But the part na I like Kevin? No... I mean I don't know. Hindi ko alam kung bakit may ganon. Wait. Do I really like Kevin? Fuck this feelings.

What do you think guys? Sa tingin niyo may gusto na si Denise kay Kevin?
