The Meantime Girl [COMPLETED]

Third Person's POV

Tonight is intimate. For a guy like Dylan to organize something like this? You'll know for certain how special is the celebrator for him.

At this moment, the group is enjoying dinner. Dane, Barbie, Ben, and Cha are teasing Althea for being so forgetful although they keep it light because they don't want her to remember her failed relationship with Calyx.

Samantha, Althea's sister, is with their parents and with a few relatives whom the latter talked to earlier. Earlier too, Dylan and the Guevarra couple have talked about serious things.

Samantha excused herself and looked for Dylan. He's not with them so she searched more.

"Dylan, I thought we're up for a surprise number here. Well?" Samantha asked.

"Yeah... sorry I'm just nervous."

"I'll feel the same if I were you but we're rooting for this so wala ng atrasan dapat."

Dylan let out a conscious laughter. "No plan of holding back."

Samantha gave Dylan a sisterly embrace.

In 3 minutes, he was able to come up to the stage and by the moment that Ben looked at him there, Ben joined him.

Althea was a bit puzzled. Her gaze followed Ben walking towards the stage. She noticed Dylan there.

While Dylan and Cha's band are doing the sound check, Ben continued his hosting stint.

"Cha, don't tell me na papalitan ka na ni Dylan sa band mo?" Althea teasingly asked her.

"I allow Dylan to do that just for tonight." Cha chuckles.

"Ganun? Feel ko nagkukuripot lang to ngayon eh. Kanta lang ang regalo saken."

"Just wait and see. I think Dylan's the most generous guy ever exist."

"How about Ben?"

"He's the most most."

"Mahalin ang sariling atin?"

Nagtawanan silang dalawa.

Althea's POV

Going back to the corner
where I first saw you,
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move

Dylan started singing and I froze.

This is the first time that I've heard him sing. Well naririnig ko naman sya kumanta dati pero puro kalokohan lang naman yun. Di ko lubos akalain na maganda pala ang boses nya.

Got some words on cardboard
got your picture in my hand,
Saying if you see this girl
can you tell her where I am.
Some try to hand me money
they don't understand,
I'm not broke
I'm just a broken hearted man,
I know it makes no sense,
but what else can I do,
How can I move on when I'm still in love with you?

He stepped down the stage to fetch me and my friends were screaming with kilig. Napasipol din si Ben.

Dylan reached for my hand. Napatingin ako sa parents ko and sa kapatid ko and they were smiling. My father nodded.

I accepted his hand and let him bring me up stage.

'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder
where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet,
And you'd see me waiting for you
on the corner of the street.
