Zevius' Forbidden Love (Russeou Series #1)

𝑪𝑯𝑨𝑷𝑻𝑬𝑹 8

This is it, it's my birthday and I'm officially at my legal age now. Kasalukuyan akong inaayusan ng makeup artist na hinire ni mom.

"Tapos napo señorita, pwede kana po mag bihis" Saad ng babaeng makeup artist saakin.

I stand from my seat and get the dress she handed me. I entered the dressing room to change my clothes.

After changing my clothes, I go to the body size mirror of this room. I'm currently wearing a baby blue color dress tube with a cute little design that surrounds my dress, it's a butterfly and it's shining. I wore my white sandals too. They do messy bun my hair but it's still looks so elegant.

"You look so stunning and gorgeous señorita. The dress suit on you." She smiled at me with amusement in her eyes. I just giggled at what she said.

"Really? Thankyou then"

Napatingin naman kami sa taong pumasok

"All set up na daw po señorita, Ikaw nalang daw po ang inaantay" Saad ng isa pang nag aassist z

"Coming." she nodded her head before leave

The girl beside me assist me, medyo nahirapan pa ako maglakad dahil nasa beach kami at purong buhangin ang nilalakaran ko

It's still four p.m in the afternoon and the party will start at six p.m we came early for the photoshoot. I take a picture with mom and dad including Charlene and Kate as my bestie

Kate look so good with her purple evening dress and soft curl hair and so Charlene too with her red silky fitted dress. We still have our little chitchat before the party start.

When the party was about to start Charlene and Kate leaved me already for my entrance.

It felt like the background music of the party instantly died down as I descended the red carpet leading my way infront. All eyes were on me. I flattered a sweet smile on my face as I got introduced infront, they all stood up from their seats and clap their hand.

Some of them are familiar but some of the elders are not, maybe it's mom and dad's business partner. I can see my classmates, old friend, batch mates, relatives including my old classmates before. Well I am glad that they came. Luckily Kendra with her alipores is not there, I didn't invite them because their presence don't need here. Sounds bad but feels good.

The party start with my eighteen roses. Most
of them are my cousins and uncle's they all handed me a rose that smells so good and when it's time for the last one, my father's turn, he's nowhere. Where is he? Did he forget about it? He supposed to be my last dance.

I still wait for many seconds but then, I got confused when someone stood from his seat and go right infront of me. My heart start pounding when I got familiarize his face..... Zevius.

What is he doing here? Do kuya Jenki invited him? What is he going to do?

He was holding not just one rose, it's a bouquet of roses. I can't do anything but to accept the bouquet of roses when he handed me it. He placed the both of his hands at the side of my waist and I placed mine on his broad shoulders. Trying to act normal and not to ruin my party. Even though my heart beats is not normal.

He's so tall. His masculine figure towering me. My height reach his chin but I still look like a small kitten to him.

"W-what are you doing here?" I whisper, enough for him to hear me.

"I don't know. Just thank me for saving you." He said seriously and remained his cold gaze at me. He's wearing a ash-gray color tuxedo and it suits him very well.

I didn't talk after that and keep my face normal, until we finished dancing that bring my breath in normal.

Next is eighteen gifts and then the eighteen wishes after that it's already time for dinner. After another photoshoot with my guest I change my clothes to a long denim backless dress with a long slit at my right thigh.

I roamed around per table to greet my visitors. While roaming I saw my aunt on their table with her family.

"Tita Carlotta!" I greet, I hug her also and do the same to her husband uncle Johuro.

"Happy birthday Eliziana my dear! you look so gorgeous tonight" I smile at her because of her compliment

"Thankyou tita, I'm glad that you came." Ani ko sa ginang.

"Ofcourse it's your birthday hija, how can we missed that" I just giggled at her statement before facing my two cousin.

"Hi ate Eliziana!" Kasumi and Saroto. I'm two year older than Kasumi and Saroto is just a seven year old little cutie boy.

"Hi my two babies! Ate miss you so much" I hugged them two. After that they handed me a gift, they're shy at first but still handed it to me. I can't help but to pinched their cheeks because of their cuteness.

"Ate it's not that expensive but I hope you'll still appreciate it" said by Kasumi with a sweet smile on her face

"Well they saved money from their allowance just to buy you a gift" Nakangiting saad ng ginang sa gilid ko

I can't help but to sweeten my smile. Totally when it comes to my family i never doubted to show them my sweetest side.

"Mommy!" Kasumi hissed and tita Charlotta just laughed at her.

"Aww thankyou babies, I appreciate it! By the way where's kuya Jenki tita?" I ask as I faced tita Carlotta

"Probably with his friends" I smiled and nod at her and take my goodbye as I leave

Nakita ko naman si mom and dad na may kausap na isang elders at mukang ka business partner nila ito kaya lumapit ako sa kanila

"Mom, dad" I said as I go near them. They introduce me to their kasosyo. After their talk, I confront them

Aaminin kong nagtatampo ako kay dad. Because who wouldn't? He supposed to be my last dance ang yet he didn't shown up. How can he missed it?

"Daddy where have you been? You're supposed to be my last dance" I uttered

"Nag ka emergency lang sa company natin." he said unbotherly

Napayuko nalang ako, sumikip bigla ang dibdib ko dahil sa sinabi nya. I just nodded my head at him. Nagka emergency? He prioritize his company over me? Is that a valid reason to missed my important day?

He turned his back at me like nothing. I saw in my mom's eyes the worry. I just assured her with my sweet smile before I leave. While walking Charlene suddenly appeared. I don't know where she came from and where Kate is.

"Ikaw ha, I saw it" she said teasingly

"You saw what?" Raising one of my eye brows to her

"Zevius danced you! What's with the two of you huh?" She said with a smirk flattered on her face

"There's nothing going on between us. I don't know too what is he doing here." I shrugged my shoulder as I assured her

"Then why are you blushing, hmm?" She said mocking me

"Tss whatever" I said then rolled my eyes at her

Me blushing? Why would I. Maybe she's just too delusional.

"Well it's good that your cousin invite them. I have a chance to see Lucas! Maybe it's my chance to ask him a date, right?" Her voice filled with excitement and eyes with amusement. I just laughed at her.

"Whatever you want. Well it's your chance, why don't you take the risk right?" Agreeing to her opinion.

Nakita naman namin si Kate at sinabi nyang masama ang pakiramdam nya kaya baka hindi na sya makakasama sa after-party. We agreed and let her rest at her hotel room.

I thank all of them when my party was about to end. I invite my friends and batch mates at my after-party. sa resto-bar near here sa beach. It looks like an resort too because it has its own pool.
