"Looking for me hon?"
Tumingin ako sa likod at nakita si Irene na nakangiti sa akin.
"What are you doing here? Susunod na ako kay Mike, gusto mong manood sa backstage?"
"Of course not, let me sing with you Czari. I will slap my cousin for trying to embarrass you. He doesn't know how good you are kasi. He's so confident suggesting it pa ha"
Halatang inis pa rin ito, ngumiti na lang ako at tumango sa kanya.
"What song do you want ba?" dagdag niya
"What about Lover para duet tayo?"
"The remix one? That would be cool"
I gave her a nod, naeexcite ako. Sobrang bagay sa kanya ng kanta, I also want to serenade her and perfect din yung Lover kasi malapit na mag Christmas.
Mike went back to us, tinawag na ng MC ang aking pangalan. Inalalayan ko si Irene paakyat sa stage. I'm sure gulat silang lahat makita ang COO na kasama ko. So I did a quick look at the crowd and I was right, halatang gulat nga sila.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please give Miss Czarina Lopez and Madame Louise Irene Smith a big round of applause!"
After saying that the lights turned off, I cleared my throat before strumming the guitar. Irene's going to sing first.
We could leave the Christmas lights up 'til January
And this is our place, we make the rules
And there's a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you, dear
Have I known you 20 seconds or 20 years?
Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close?
Forever and ever, ah
Take me out, and take me home
You're my, my, my, my lover
There it is, her angelic voice echoed in the hall. Grabe nakaka inlove na naman girlfriend ko. Ilang beses ko na tong nasasabi pero wala eh, ganun talaga nangyayari.
Nag ready na ako kasi ako na ang susunod na kakanta ng next part.
We could light a bunch of candles
And dance around the kitchen, baby
Pictures of when we were young would hang on the wall
We would sit on the stoop
I'll sing love songs to you when we're eighty
See, I finally got you now, honey, I won't let you fall
I tried searching for Sir Isaac and I saw how shocked he is. Napangiti ako kasi alam kong hindi siya nagtagumpay sa balak na pagpapahiya sa akin. Tsk akala niya ha. I smiled at the crowd as we both sang the chorus part.
Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close?
Forever and ever, ah
Take me out, and take me home (Forever and ever)
You're my, my, my, my lover
I looked at my girl and to my surprise she's also looking at me. I can see the excitement and happiness in her face. Siguro namiss niya ring kumanta kasama ako. Gosh gusto ko na siyang halikan pero di pa pwede.
Ladies and gentlemen, will you please stand?
With every guitar string scar on my hand
I take this magnetic force of a girl to be my lover
She changed the lyrics. It's supposed to be man not girl. I smiled widely and saw her nod at me. It's my turn to sing for her.
Look in my eyes, they will tell you the truth
The girl in my story has always been you
I'd go down with the Titanic, it's true, for you, lover
And you'll save all your dirtiest jokes for me
And at every table, I'll save you a seat, lover (Save you a seat)
