Hold on to me

Chapter 1

Azalea's POV

I am currently here at some bar in Makati and playing a game with my friends, Zinnia and Poppy.

"Oh come on Zinny, please. Cooperate with me. I swear, di kita ipapahamak dito. Mas lalawak nga lang ang kaisipan mo." Poppy chuckled. She already knew this game. She is my 15th victim.

The last time I played this game is with Zinnia. She got a wound in her foot.

Zinny looked at Poppy, trying to figure out what game I'm trying to introduce to her.

"It won't harm you, Zinny. Promise. I tried it already and magiging malawak talaga ang kaisipan mo."

"Okay. Fine. Siguraduhin mo talaga na di ako mapapahamak dito ha? Pag ako napahamak ulit, ipapalapa na talaga kita sa Kuya ko."

Di ko pa nakikita kuya niya but I saw his pictures already. I am not scared naman sa kuya niya.

"Alright. Let's start the game. You see, I'm holding two coins. I'll ask you some questions and you have to answer it but di mo sasabihin sa akin yung sagot mo."

"What? So is this some kind of magic? Change of tactic? Really, Lea?"

"Kind of. "

"So paano ako sasagot?"

"Well, just count the number of syllables and flip the coins depende sa kung ilang syllables yun but I'm still holding the coins. Got it?"

"Got it."

"So first question, sino ang gusto mong pakasalan? Include your ex-boyfriend." She just glared at me. I and Poppy laughed.

"I don't wanna include him. Eww."

"Flip the coins na."

She flipped the coins 2 times.

"Ohhh. So it's 2 syllables. Mukhang tama nga ang nasa isip ko. Hahahaha!" She blushed at what I said. See? May pa-eww pa syang nalalaman. She still the girl who is hopelessly inlove with a jerk.

"Shut up, Lea."

"Next question. Imagine yourself being married to him. Of course, may honeymoon di ba?" tumango lang siya.

"Ano ang gusto mong sabihin sa kanya during your honeymoon?" Zinny paused for a while and then blushed.

So this is it. I hold the coins tightly.

She hold the coins and try to flip it. But I still hold it tightly.

"Bakit ang tigas? Huy. Bakit mo pinipigilan? Lambutan mo naman." Shit. Hahahahaha!

"Oh my gosh! Mas malala ka pa pala sa akin, Zinny!" Tumatawa pa rin si Poppy. I hold my laughter muna.

Zinny looked confuse.

"Di naman ah. Hilahin mo kasi nang mabuti. Lakasan mo pa."

She tried to flip the coins again but she failed.

"Ayaw talaga. Ang tigas. Masakit na sa fingers. Nakakangalay na" Di ko na talaga kaya.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Shit Zinny. Seriously? 'Yan talaga ang sasabihin mo sa kanya during your honeymoon? Sa gitna ng init niyo?! Mabibitin ka 'nun Zinny!"

Confused siya nung una and then seconds later, she blushed.

"Walang hiya ka! Sabi na nga ba!" And she slapped my arms while I and Poppy laughing.

"You are not that innocent naman pala Zinny eh! Ano kaya ang reaction ni Xirius --"

"Malamang pagtatawanan ako nun!"

"So siya nga yung naiimagine mo kanina?"

"Urgh. Ayoko na. Bwiset kayo. Makasayaw na nga lang!" She left still blushing.

"I really can't imagine Zinnia saying "Bakit ang tigas?" Hahahaha! Nawawala na ang kainosentehan eh."

Zinny is really innocent kahit na nagbabar kami. Yes, she may dance with some random guys but we all know she's still innocent. Well, innocent means virgin.

"Mabuti nga yun eh. Narecord mo ba kanina?"

"I actually took a video of it. Remembrance. O di kaya ito na yung wedding gift ko sa kanya kung sakali. Hahahaha!"

"Send mo rin sa akin yung copy. I'll give it to Xirius."

"You're so mean. Tara na nga. Let's dance!"

I stand up and pulled her up. Nakihalo kami sa mga taong nagsasayaw na parang walang mga problema. O baka may problema kaya nandito para makalimutan man lang. Either of the two, I'm one of them.

I dance like a pro. And then I felt a warm air in my neck, only to find out a guy is dancing with me.

I faced him and yeah, he's so gorgeous.

"Hi sweety." And he smiled. Juskolerd. Hinulog ba ito ng langit dahil nagkakasala rin siya roon? Mukhang maraming anghel ang nabihag nya roon kaya hinulog na lang sya sa lupa. He's so attractive.

I just smiled at him. Di ko kayang sumagot sa kanya, baka may magawa akong karumaldumal.

Inikot ko ang mga kamay ko sa leeg niya at mas nilapit ko pa ang katawan ko sa kanya. I suddenly felt his hands holding my waist hanggang sa parang niyayakap niya na ako.

I dance along with the rhythm and I swear, may sumasaludo na. He groped my waist firmly and mas nilapit nya pa ang sarili nya sa akin. He also move his face forward making its way in the hollow of my neck.

He breathed in. Shit. This man is so dangerous. So I ready myself to turn my back to him.

Tinulak ko sya pero hinawakan nya ang batok ko and he claimed my lips, making my eyes bulged and open wide.
