He gazed at me as i walked down, then approached me and offered his hand kaya tinanggap ko ito.
"Hermosa" he whispered at nilagay sa balikat ko ang blazer na dala nito.
"Shall we?" He escorted me to the limousine na sasakyan namin.
May nakasunod na dalawa pang black cars sa likod.
"Where's your mom?" Tanong ko.
"She's already waiting for us, along with my other cousins" nanlamig ang kamay ko at napansin niya ito.
"He held my hand, and it was so warm. He gently rubbed it as he kissed it. 'This night is special; you're the star at the center... mi estrella"(my star) he said.
He didn't took his gaze of me as i tried to calm myself down, heck I'm so nervous.
We soon arrived at a magnificent venue.
The car stopped on the red carpet, and cameras snapped wildly as we prepared to step out.
"I-i don't think i-i can..." hindi ako maka focus naka tingin sa madaming camera sa labas, Sobra sobra ang kaba ko.
"Hey are you okay? You don't look fine, should we head back?" Umiling ako dahil gusto ko siyang samahan kahit na sasabog na ang puso sa kaba.
"Sage, tell me if you want us to head back. I'm serious" hinawakan niya ang nanginginig kong kamay.
"W-we're already here" bulong ko as he shook his head.
"I don't care, we can head back if you want to" matagal tagal din at napagpasyahan kong lalabas ako with gage by my side.
He smiled a little as he offered his hand.
"No te preocupes, mi amor. Estoy aquí para ti." (Don't worry, my love. I'm here for you.) My gaze drop on his hand as i slowly accepted it.
Cameras flashed rapidly, so i drew close to him, gripping his arm tightly. "G-Gage" I whispered softly at mas lalong dumikit sa kanya.
Humigpit ang hawak niya sa pinagsakop na kamay namin as we walked slowly.
They we're whispering as the cameras flashed very fast.
Sobrang ingay nila.
We continued on, disregarding the numerous quistions from the paparazzi.
Hindi ko pa masyado na iintindihan ang ibang mga sinasabi, kaunti lamang ang alam kong spanish.
As we walked inside, people glanced our way. Some stopped talking to each other as we caught their attention for no apparent reason.
Tila tumigil ang mundo nila.
Anong meron? Tumingin ako sa likod at hinanap kung saan ang kanilang mata naka tuon.
Sa amin ata? Or kay gage? Gage seemed unbothered by the stares, his eyes fixed intently on me.
May biglang isang matandang lalake ang patungo sa amin.
He was wearing a formal attire holding a wine on his hand.
"Gage, ¡hace tiempo que no te veía!" (Gage, long time no see!) They both shaked hands on each other but gage stayed on his poker face.
"Tío" the oldman he called tío glance at me.
"Qué señorita más hermosa," he said, tapping Gage's shoulder. (What a beautiful young lady.) He said looking at me.
"AHH, You must be Sage?" Naglahad siya ng kamay kaya bumitiw ako sa pagkahawak kay gage at tinanggap ito.
"Sí, buenas noches. Encantado de conocerlo"(Yes, Goodevning nice to meet you) i smiled.
"Hermosa, Hermosa" he complement repeatedly.
"Cariño, este es tío Alfredo, el hermano de mi madre." (Sweetheart, this is Uncle Alfredo, my mom's brother.)
"Tío, esta es Sage, mi novia" (uncle, this is sage, my girlfriend) patuloy na tumatango ito habang naka ngiti.
"I know, i know. I have heard a lot about you from Gabriela" he said reffering to Gage's mother.
"Come, come they are all waiting" nagtungo kami sa isang mayayamang groupo.
Ang gaganda ng mga suot nila! Nakakahanga. Naka ngiti silang naka tingin sa amin.
"¿Ella es modelo?" (Is she a model?) I heard the other one said.
"No madame" i answered politely.
Isang bakla ang dumating at agad tumili ng makita si gage.
"¡Gage! Estás tan guapo como siempre." (Gage! You're so handsome as always.) Naglalanding saad nito at akmang lalapit na ng makita ako.
"¿Es esta ella?"(is this her?) Tumango ang iba kaya tumingin siya sa akin mula ulo hanggang paa.
"¡hermosa!" He exclaimed.
"You're going to be featured in our magazine, Sage! Want to be a model? Madame Gabriela told me a lot about you! Here's my card; call me if you're interested!" Sabay tingin niya ulit kay Gage at kumindat.
Nanatili akong naka tingin dito.
"You can help us take down the Shemuála sisters! With one finger lifted!" Tinanggap ko ito.
"Come let me introduce you to my girls!" Tumingin siya kay gage asking permission.
"¿Puedo enterrarla?" Hindi pa naka sagot si gage ng hinila niya ako sa mga magagandang babae na kanina pa naka tingin sa akin.
Nag usap kami at panay ang pakiusap nila sa akin na sumali. As i think about what to answer i glance at gage na may kausap din, but as he talked to the man his eyes were focusing on me.
He nods, his gaze we're seriously locked on mine.
"Me uniré"(I'll join) sambit ko na kina tili nila.
Maya maya ay dumating si Sofía and immediately hung into my arms.
"Are you finally gonna join? ILL BE YOUR NUMBER ONE SUPPORTER!!" Tili niya.
Kumunot ang noo ko ng bigla silang nagbulungan.
Naka tingin sila kay gage kaya sinundan ko ng tingin. Hindi pa din niya tinggal ang tingin sa akin, uminom siya ng wine habang nanatili padin ang mata.
Tumili ang mga babae sa kanyang pasimpleng pag-inom. Ngl he was looking hot right now, lalo nat madilim kaunti ang paligid his sharp eyes was looking at me like a hawk waiting for his prey.
"He was badly smitten!" Sambit ni Sofía then the girls agreed.
"¿Por qué no nos divertimos un poco?"(why don't we make a little fun?) Sambit ng isa.
"Chicas, miren, esto será divertido."(you girls, watch, this will be fun) sambit din ng isa ng umalis ito at pagkabalik may lalake na sa gilid.
The guy look at me a bit shock but he smirk.
Naglahad siya ng kamay.
"Buenas noches, señorita hermosa. Me llamo Legeo."(Goodevening, Beautiful. My name is Legeo) napatingin ako sa kamay nitong nakalahad at dahan dahan na sanang ibibigay ang kamay ko ng may biglang humigit sa aking beywang.
Napa atras ang mga babae sa ginawa niya pati nadin ang lalake at ako naman ay napa kapit sa kanyang dibdib sa gulat.
Napa kurap akong naka tingala sa kanyang madilim na mukha. A dark aura surrounded him.
"What the fuck are you doing?" Malamig na sambit nito sa lalake.
Gulat ako sa biglang pag-iba niya. Anong nangyayari? Naguguluhan ako.
