Athena's POV
"Vaughn. . ."
'You're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight.'
He gave me the last rose. Tinanggap ko iyong kahit biglang-bigla ako na siya ang last dance ko. Ibang-iba siya sa nakilala kong Vaughn na makulit, ang seryoso niya ngayon.
"Surprised?" tanong niya nang mag-simula kaming sumayaw.
"Y-yea." sagot ko.
'With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fears apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
Touches my foolish heart.'
Magkatitigan lang kami habang sumasayaw. Shit. His serious side.
'Yes you're lovely, never, ever change
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it?'
Bigla siyang sumabay sa kanta. "'Cause I love you, just the way you look tonight'" shit. His husky voice!
"Sana masaya ka ngayon." sabi niya.
"O-oo m-masaya a-ako. T-thank y-you." sagot ko. Why am I stuttering?!
'With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fears apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
Touches my foolish heart.'
Napangiti siya bigla. Shit. Dahil ba nauutal ako? Nahalata ba niyang kinakabahan ako? Shit naman!
'Yes you're lovely, never, ever change
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it?'
Sinabayan ulit niya yung last part ng kanta. Damn his voice! I'm lovin' it! Nakakahumaling yung boses niya.
"'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight.
Just the way you look tonight."
Ano bang meron sa Cause I love you, just the way you look tonight.'? He smiled at me kahit medyo lutang at biglang-bigla pa rin ako sa nangyayari. Bumitaw na siya at naiwan ulit ako sa gitna. A-ano nang kasunod? Pwede bang kantahan ako ni Vaughn? Damn! His voice, parang drugs! Nakaka-adik ng sobra. Parang na-hypnotize pa nga niya ako kanina eh.
Biglang nag-play ang isang pamilyar na kanta. Parang ang ganda nung kanta. Napakinggan ko na ito eh, hindi ko lang matandaan kung saan. Biglang may tinapatan ulit ang isa pang spotlight. Nakatalikod sakin yung lalaki, pamilyar yung likod. Mas nakilala ko siya nang bigla siyang kumanta.
James:
'Have you ever had that girl that made your heart skip a beat?
Have you ever had that feeling where your words cannot speak?
Well I felt like that before, and I feel like that right now'
Humarap siya sakin at lumapit. Oh my god. He's singing again.
James:
'The way you walk you are
Getting in the way of my thoughts my thoughts
Trying to be cool but I'm not I'm not
And now I'm next to you and I feel so
Da-da-da-da-da-da-dumb
Da-da-da-da-da-da-dumb
Da-da-da-da-da-da-dumb
Da-da-da-da-da-da-dumb'
Nang makalapit siya hinawakan niya yung kamay ko at tinitigan ako sa mata. Damn! Para saan naman ito? Ito ba yung sinasabi niya kanina? That he will c-court m-me?
