CHAPTER 8
SURPRISE
Kiel's POV
My love for you has never wavered
from the beginning till the end,
even when you were cruel to me.
Hagalpak ang tawa ni Rios habang pinapalo ang hood ng kotse ko. Napatingin tuloy ang lahat sa amin maski si Priscilla na kakagaling lang sa loob.
"G*go, manahimik ka nga. Eskandalosong 'to." When he didn't stop, I rolled my eyes and left him. I hopped inside my car and started the engine. Kita kong nilapitan pa ni Cilla si Rios at tinanong kung anong nangyari pero syempre, hindi ako ilalaglag ng kaibigan ko.
"What was that?" tanong niya pagkaupo sa shotgun seat.
"Nothing," I muttered, rolling down the window of my car to shoot Rios a third finger. He laughed again and told our friends it was time to leave. Tumango naman silang lahat at nagsisakayan na ng mga kotse nila.
I drove away silently, still thinking about what just happened.
I was only kidding with my text. Bakit naman ako sineryoso maigi ni Lana at talagang binlock pa ako? Was my message that creepy? Weird.
Hindi ko maintindihan kung matatawa ba ako o maiinis sa ginawa niya. Surely, it was a first. No other girl has ever dared to block my number. Kadalasan masaya pa sila na kinausap ko sila. Ang iba naman, masyadong takot para 'wag akong pansinin.
Lana's definitely something.
"Kiel, can you slow down a little bit?" Priscilla asked, distracting me from my thoughts.
"I thought you said you need to be back in Serenaville as soon as possible?"
"Y-Yeah, but you're scaring me. Ang bilis mo masyado magmaneho. Baka maaksidente tayo."
I sighed but slowed down anyway. Ayoko talagang mabagal ang pagpapatakbo ko. Naiinip ako kaagad.
"Sinabi ko na kasi sa'yong umuwi ka na kanina pa. Ang kulit mo."
She looked outside the window and played with her hands. "My mom would want me to stay where you are..."
"Hindi mo naman kasi kailangang sundin palagi ang inuutos sa'yo ni Tita. You're old enough to do what you want, Priscilla."
"I'm not like you. Hindi ko kayang suwayin ang mga magulang ko."
Napailing na lang ako at hindi na siya pinansin. I kept my mouth shut until we reached the hotel. Pagkarating doon ay sinalubong kaagad siya ng glam team niya.
"Do you have anything to wear?" Nilingon niya ako at hinintay ang sagot ko kaya hindi ko naibigay sa valet driver ang susi ng kotse ko.
"Isn't this enough?" I pointed out at my shirt.
"Are you kidding me? It's a formal party." Ano ba 'yan. Magaayos pa. Anong oras na.
"I guess I won't go then. Goodnight."
"What? No!" She grabbed my wrist to stop me. "I'm sure we can get you an extra tux. Sumama ka na sa room ko. Wait there."
I removed her hand and shook my head. "I'm already tired from driving. Uuwi na lang ako."
