My Long Lost Lover

Chapter 31

Shane's POV

"Ang saya nung party!" sigaw ni Jade habang nakatingin naman si Emerald sa kanya. Paano ba naman, ayaw pang umuwi ni Jade kahit na kanina pa nagrereklamo si Emerald na inaantok na siya.

"I know! I had fun and that was memorable for me. First time eh." I gave her a smile and gazed at Emerald. Nakabusangot yung mukha niya. Natawa na lang ako dahil sa pagbabasa hindi siya inaantok pero sa party na naka-full blast yung volumes ng stereos, inantok pa siya. Sa lagay na yun, ah?

"Sabi sayo sisteret dapat matagal ka nang sumama sakin. So kamusta naman kayo nung boylet na nameet mo kanina?" she asked at me and looked very weird. Hay, mapang-asar talaga 'to simula nung naging close kami eh.

"Tuwing nasa mood ako sasama ako sayo Jade, don't worry. Well, Luke? He's sweet and very charming. Gentleman din siya. Nahiya pa nga ako nung umpisa eh." I said then smiled sheepishly. I'm really bad when it comes to social gatherings like parties pero simula naman nung naging sexy ako, tumaas yung self-confidence ko.

"Bakit ayaw mong sabihin na pogi siya?" singit naman ni Emerald sa usapan namin. Yes, gwapo talaga si Luke. What made him more handsome is his personality. Napakagalang at nakakatuwa kausap. Pangalan pa lang nga, gwapo na.

Luke Clarence Finn

Gosh.

Masyado kaya akong mabilis mag move on? I guess it's alright, isang taon din akong nasaktan from our break up. It won't hurt to try new things, right?

Naalala ko na naman tuloy yung conversation namin kanina sa club. I was really enjoying dancing then because of my heels, I almost slipped not until he held me and saved me from an embarrassing disaster.

"Whoah! Mag-ingat ka kasi." he said and gave me a wide smile. Kahit na he's showing his teeth, hindi naman creepy tingnan unlike others. Okay, I have to admit. Gwapo 'tong nasa harapan ko. Medyo tipsy na ako pero that didn't hinder me from seeing his features.

I smiled at him and said thank you. Siya din naman kasi yung tinuturo sakin ni Jade na kaibigan daw ng kaibigan niya na si Remy. Kanina niya pa ako sinasabihan na magpakilala and I refused. Kaso, itong si tadhana na siguro yung gumawa ng move para sakin. Stubborn daw kasi ako.

"And because of that, kailangan mo akong ilibre ng isang drink." he said and chuckled. Hindi naman siya mayabang pakinggan, nakatawa pa nga siya na parang nagbibiro.

"Sure, why not? Lead me to the bar station."

"I'm just joking. I won't let a woman buy me a drink. Ako na lang ang bibili para sayo."

I just nodded. Tutal naman kakilala siya ni Jade at Emerald, pumayag na ako. This is my chance to meet someone new. Kailangan ko ng reason para mag move on diba? Ito na yun.

We were drinking and dancing all night. I made my heart flutter every time he smiled at me.

"You're tipsy. Wag kang iinom masyado." sabi niya at inagaw sakin yung shot glass.

"Come on, minsan ko lang naman ginagawa 'to. Give that back." I said at inagaw yung shot glass but I failed.

"This drink or Luke?" he asked habang nakatingin siya sa akin and nag loose yung grip niya sa shot glass dahil nasa akin yung atensyon niya.

"Luke." sagot ko at inagaw sa kanya yung shot glass. Nang maagaw ko, bottoms up kong ininom yung tequila.

"That was smooth. Come on, ihahatid ko na kayo nila Jade." aniya though it seems he was surprised by my move.
