Say You'll Never Go

Chapter four

Before

Julian's POV

We stayed in Chloe's house for just an hour. Dun na rin ako nag-bihis, sinuot ko yung binili naming longsleeves kanina.

Chloe settle for a cream pink dress, which fits her perfectly. Hindi ko pa binibigay yung dress na binili ko kanina for her dahil may mas magandang okasyon para dun.

When we arrived at Belle's house, we were greeted with a bunch of college friends and a handful of highschool friends. It seems that they are just waiting for us to arrive.

Walang masyadong pagbabago sa bahay nila Belle. Two-story colonian style house, may garden at swimming pool din. Medyo may pinaayos lang siguro sa mga designs at may nadagdag na nga figurines and all. Dito kami sa bandang garden and swimming pool.

"Kumpleto na ba?!" Tanong ni Anthony, college friend namin.

"Yeah yeah! Kumpleto na!" Sagot ni Derek, si Derek ang pinaka-makulit sa tropa, party-goer kasi.

Biglang namatay yung mga ilaw at sumunod na rin ang pag-galabog ng sound system at nakakabinging beat sounds.

"Woohooooo!"

"Derek si Belle nasaan?" Tanong ni Chloe. I'm not used to this, ayoko kasi sa mga maiingay na lugar.

"What? I can't hear you!"

Lumapit si Chloe kay Derek "Sabi ko si Belle nasaan?"

"Ahhh nandun sa loob ng bahay, nag-aayos ng pagkain!"

Sinundan ko si Chloe patungo sa loob ng bahay at saktong palabas na rin si Belle.

"Happy Birthday Bestie!!" Chloe said, happily.

"Thank you bes!!" Nag-beso sila sabay bigay ng gift ni Chloe sakanya.

"Happy Birthday Belle." I said, smiling.

"Thank you Calvs! C'mon let's eat na?"

"Mamaya na. It seems that they're having so much fun e?" I retort.

"Okay then" belle said, then she go straight to the kitchen.

Dumiretso kami ni Chloe sa sofa dahil hindi kami comfortable sa labas. Parehas naming ayaw sa ingay at party lights, sadyang sila lang yung mahilig magparty. Si Belle medyo mahilig din pero umiiwas naman minsan. Pero pag-inuman wala kaming ligtas dahil lahat dapat kasali, rule no. 3 yun sa barkada.

"Are you okay?" I ask. She looks tired and weak.

"Yeah love. I'm okay." She answered. I put my hand on her forehead assuming that she has a fever, but thankfully wala siyang sakit.

"Okay okay" I smiled.

She's checking her instagram account and she saw the photo that I posted earlier this day.

"Ohhh what is this Julian? Hahaha!"

"Isn't obvious? It's you Chloe!" I grin.

"Alam kong ako to, pilosopo ka talaga!"

"E bakit kasi nagtatanong ka pa? Hahaha!"

"E gusto ko lang marinig yung sasabihin mo e! Bakit ba?!"

"Okay okay. I'm sorry! Highblood ka na agad. Kumalma ka muna hahaha!" I said patting her back. "Wag mo nang sabayan yung ingay sa labas hahaha"

"Hahaha joke lang naman yun. Kalmado kaya ako!"

"Calvin can you help me here!!" Belle shouting from the kitchen. She just break our conversation. Just kidding.

"Okay!" I shouted back. "I'll be back love"I kiss her.
