This Unexpected Love

Chapter 24

Confused

"Woooo this is one wild partyyy!" Ashley shouted through the deafening music in this bar. And we're dancing like there's no tomorrow in the dancefloor. Kasama namen sila Ashley and the barkada sa hangout na sinasabe ni Jen. Nakainom na lahat kaya medyo magulo na.

"This is one great night!" Jen also shouted and umagree naman si Krisha who is beside her dancing also.

"Wait everyone seems to be here where's your Kevin, Denise?" Tanong naman saken ni Pierre na kasayaw ni Ashley. I stopped dancing and tried to look for Kevin na kanina ko pang hindi makita. Pina-shot siya ng pina-shot and I bet he's drunk or a bit? I should go look for him.

"Ash I'll be back" i told Ashley and she nodded and continued dancing with our other friends. I make my way out of the crowd from the dance floor. I finally got out and I felt someone holds my arms.

"Kevin finally where have you be--" napatigil ako ng humarap ako but it was not Kevin. I don't know who this is. Natakot agad ako thinking of what happened to me last time. Shit. I feel my hands shake when the man holds my waist and he's smirking at me like an idiot.

"I need to go excuse me" sabi ko and tried pushing him but he was too drunk. He started sniffing my neck and I'm pushing him.

"Ano ba let go of me!" I shouted kasabay ng pagtulak sa kanya. Napatingin ako sa likod ng taong nagligtas saken and my heart suddenly beats so fast. I suddenly get confused again.

"Touch her next time I'll kill you" and he holds my arms and take me out. When we we're out he lets go of my arms and looked at me. Concern can be seen in his eyes. I need air, I badly need it now. I feel like I wanna pass out.

"Hey are you okay?" His hand went to my cheeks and tried calming my system down. I sighed and tried talking but tears escaped from my eyes.

"Hey hey it's okay now. Wag ka na mag-alala okay,mokay na. Ssh" he hugged me and I closed my eyes. It's getting more complicated. My feelings are more confusing.

"Josiah..." I breathe his name. Parang pinipiga ang puso ko while he's hugging me. I missed this man so much. But my feelings are too confusing. Naiisip ko si Kevin at the back of my head but I'm enjoying this moment na Josiah is here. What the hell is happening to me? Why am I feeling this way? Do I still love Josiah? Or do I like Kevin? The damn thoughts made me cry more. Josiah is now comforting me. And it feels so good that he's talking to me again. Naramdaman ko na naman yung pakiramdam na pinagtatanggol niya ko and cinocomfort niya ko.

"Everything's alright now Denise you're safe from that asshole don't worry" he says that makes me calm. Hinawakan niya ang balikat ko and asked me again kung okay lang ako.

"Yes... Uhm okay lang ako. Thank you" sabi ko and he smiled at me. I miss seeing this man smile. Pictures of Josiah crying and begging me to stay started flashing back at my head. That time when I left him.

"Denise I...I mi-" napatingin ako sa taong nasa likod ni Josiah. Nasa shore siya at nakatingin lang sa dagat. Yung kanina ko pang hinahanap nandun lang pala.

"Uhm Josiah I need to go, excuse me and thank you for saving me... Thank you" I said and left him and pumunta ako kay Kevin. Once I was beside him napa-tingin siya saken.

"Oh hey, you already tired from dancing?" He asked me na medyo nagpipigil ng tawa. Hindi niya alam yung nangyare na naman saken kanina sa bar.

"Not much. Uhm napansin ko lang kase nawawala ka..." He smiled at me.

"I quite feel dizzy and the atmosphere in the bar is too suffocating and I tried telling you that I'll be going out but you're too happy dancing so I didn't disturb you" he explained at napatango nalang ako and umupo ako sa sand. He did the same. Tahimik lang, walang nagsasalita. I looked at Kevin and tried thinking if I really like him. Trisha's words got me curious. It makes me wanna know what I really feel. Sobrang kumportable akong kasama si Kevin, everytime I'm with him I feel so safe. And these past few day, everytime he do something, it makes my heart beats fast. Kanina when I'm with Jos, I feel pain from our past. Nagi-guilty ako every time I look at him. At pinipiga ang puso ko pag tinitignan ko siya. I'm so confused.

"It kinda happened again..." I slowly said. Napa-tingin siya saken with a confused look. I cleared my throat.

"The first time we party, remember the incident? It sort of happened again, kanina..." I told him at nakita ko agad ang pagkunot ng noo niya. And his breathing changes.

"What?" He asked through gritted teeth.

"Uhm hinawakan niya lang ako at my waist and kinda sniffed my neck that man was so drunk, I got scared but I was... I was saved immediately." Nakakunot pa rin ang noo niya and I can see anger in his eyes. Sometimes, Kevin's reactions like this makes me think.

"Damn assholes. Who saved you? I should thank whoever saved you" he said at parang kinabahan ako remembering Josiah. Naalala ko how he looked at me. Naaalala ko kung paano niya ko tignan with concern kanina. Ugh.

"Josiah, Josiah saved me" Natigilan si Kevin for unknown reasons. He slowly nods and napatingin ulit siya sa dagat. Wala ng nagsasalita sa amin, I wonder what he's thinking about.

"Hey nandito lang pala kayong dalawa" biglang sumulpot ang mga kaibigan namen from our back.

"Halos tipsy na lahat sa let's go sa private area and build a bonfire para masayaaa" Jen says. Tumayo si Kevin then humarap siya saken and helped me stand up. Pagtayo ko, napatingin agad ako kay Josiah na nakatingin din saken. Naka-kapit sa braso niya si Krisha na halata mong tipsy na din.

"Okay let's go" Kevin says at yun nagsimula ng maglakad lahat.

"Enjoy our last night here, we'll be going home tomorrow, you already have classes tomorrow." Nalungkot ako nung naalala kong meron na nga akong pasok bukas ng hapon. Daaamn I want to stay in this resort forever.

"Yeaaah and you'll be going back to work tomorrow. Back to normal" I said at pareho kaming tumawa. We just chitchat all the way and share some laughs. This is one of the best time in my life.
