Bound In Secrecy 🚩

Chapter 13

I almost stumbled when I felt someone slap my shoulder while laughing. I look at my surroundings and at the person I'm with, even though I'm dizzy.

Kanina nasa party pa kami, pero bakit nandito na kaming dalawa ni Miss Turner sa taas? Dinala ba nya ako dito sa ikatlong palapag o sumama ako ng kusa? Ugh! I can't remember. 

"How did we end up here?" - my words were slightly slurred as I held on to the rails.

"You brought me here, nakalimot ka?" - she replied.

My brows furrowed. "I did what? Oh freak!I'm sorry. We should go back."

Tumayo ako ng maayos at pumikit ng ilang segundo. Kung totoo ngang umalis ako sa party tapos tinangay ko pa sya lagot talaga ako nito sa parents ko. At si Quinn naman bakit hinayaan nya ako?

"Let me hold you, Miss Sinclair," - she said, and I didn't have time to protest when she put her hand on my waist.

Sa amin dalawa mas mukha pa naman syang matino dahil maayos din sya magsalita.

"Help me balance our weight. You can put your arm on my shoulders." - Her warm breath is fanning the side of my neck.

I look down on her and watch her side profile while we're walking. My lips curled in a smile as I put my arm around her.

"Thank you, Miss."

I'm trying to keep myself sane, and later on I could hear chattering and the sounds of music. As I blink my eyes, I see the crowd more clearly. 

I felt a soft hold on my arm, and when I looked, I saw my sister wearing her distressed expression.

"Pasalamat ka nauna na umuwi sina Dad. Pasaway ka!" - she said, pulling me closer to her. She faced the young lady who assisted me and gave her a kind smile. "Thank you for taking care of her, Miss Turner. I hope she didn't bother you that much."

The latter chuckled. "She didn't. Actually, she's quiet and was just drinking the whole time we're together. She can't even remember that she brought me upstairs because I'm fan girling over Miss Laurent."

"She's kind of possessive because she likes Quinn as well."

My head snapped at my sister. "I don't. Stop making up stories."

I wince when she secretly pinches my side. Her side eye is enough to make me bite my own tongue to stop myself from saying more.

"Where's Kuya?"

"He's with Quinn and some other business men."

Umalis na pala si Miss Turner kaya inakay na din ako ni ate paalis. May mga ilan kaming nakakasalubong na bumabati at mostly si ate ang sumasagot sa kanila.

"Can you tell your best friend that I want to go home with her?"

My sister laughs,Why me? You have her number, so call her."

I pouted and leaned on the nearest wall. "She won't listen to me. She must've enjoyed those men's company to even bother looking for me."

"Hey, are you implying that she's a flirt?"- My sister's tone is scary; that's why I shook my head.

"Call her, please. I don't think I can drive." - I utter while massaging my temple.

She watched me carefully before shaking her head and then started tapping on her phone in front of me.

We didn't wait that long because, after a minute, I saw Quinn and my brother approaching our way. 

Bagay sila. Both are good-looking and successful in life. I'm just a kid compared to them. They'll be one of the most expensive couples out there if they happen to be engaged to each other.
