Love And Betrayal (EDITING)

Chapter Twelve

Chapter XII

I didn't fancy those things called cuddle, flowers, and even chocolates and the big teddy bear. Because I know that I can buy myself if I want to.

But now, imagining Kio will give me one of those, it's so nakakakilig! Though, I really can buy all of that in one swipe.

"Lib, are you ready?" I turned my gaze to Hope as I put my last weapon for tonight, my Manolo Blanihks.

"Of course, I am always ready." I give her a mischievous smile.

My sister is undoubtedly beautiful. Syempre, kapatid ko yan. Kaninong lahi pa ba ang magsasama-sama diba.

"Anong event ulit yan, Hope?" I asked as we hop in the car.

"Birthday ng kambal, yung guy is band mate ni Kio."

"Invited ba tayo?" I arched my brow.

"Kahit hindi tayo invited ay pupunta pa rin tayo." Then she grinned. Sabi ko na nga ba, hindi santo ang kapatid ko.

Habang nasa biyahe kami ay walang ibang inatupag si Hope kundi ang magtipa sa phone niya. Malamang sa malamang ay si Kio ang katext niya. I hate it.

Pagkarating namin doon ay marami ng sasakyan ang naka-park. Kaya mukhang maraming bisita.

"Invites, please." Hope reached the invitation in her bag and showed it to the guard.

Agad naman kaming pinapasok at nag thank you pa ang kapatid ko. Pagkapasok namin ay mukhang mag-start na. Dahil naabutan namin na nasa stage na siya at inaayos ang mic niya.

"Hope, is Kio aware that we are here?"

"Hmm, maybe?" Then she winked at me. Maybe? Anong klaseng sagot yon?

"Sinabi ko lang na hindi ako sure kung pupunta, kasi nga diba wala ako sa mood kanina." Sagot niya. Mukhang nabasa niya ang nasa isip ko.

Naghanap kami ng pwedeng pwestuhan saka umupo. Nilapitan naman kami ng waiter for our drinks.

"Thanks." I smiled to the waiter.

I roam my eyes on stage, and I didn't expect that I will see him here. What. The. Fuck. Bumabanda rin pala ang kumag na 'to?

I had a dream the other night
'bout how we only get one life
Woke me up right after two
Stayed awake and stared at you
So I wouldn't lose my mind

Shoot! Kaya pala he looks familiar. I already saw him at the party, but at that time, my attention was only for the vocalist. Kaya pala hindi ko matandaan kung saan.

Gusto kong mag concentrate sa boses ni Kio, no, sa nakaka inlove na boses ni Kio. But then, hindi ko madigest na nandito rin ang kumag na 'yon.

I had the week that came from hell
And yes I know that you could tell
you're like the net under the ledge
When I go flying off the edge
You go flying off as well

I turned my gaze to Kio. Pakiramdam ko ako ang kinakantahan niya.

And if you only die once I wanna die with
You got something I need
In this world full of people there's one killing me
if we only die once, (hey)
I wanna die with you (you, you, you)

And then I look at the lady beside me, I can see myself on her, minus the fact that she's the legal girlfriend. Wait, girlfriend din ba ako?

Hindi ko namalayan na tapos na pala ang song number nila kung hindi pa nagpalakpakan ang mga bisita. Nako, marami nanamang na-inlove kay Kio!
