PRESENTing the PAST (KiefLy)

7- I want it that way

Alyssa's POV

We're still at Von's party. And as much as possible I want to have fun. But I'm so aware of his presence. I can feel his stare at my back and it makes me uncomfortable. Ayokong lumingon baka mag eyes to eyes pa kami. And his eyes still have the same effect on me as before. I can't think straight.

But of course I steal small glances at him. I don't know what's with myself. I can't help it. It's as if my eyes have their on accord.

He looks good as always. Kahit na naka sleeveless shirt lang siya at trunks. His biceps so clear. He become more manly ngayon since four years ago. Dati ang liit ng braso niyan mabilis umaray pag nakurot ko pero masarap parin naman siyang yakapin kahit ganun.

I stopped myself thinking those kind of things. Masasaktan lang ako. And I'll blame myself again. Hayst.

I was pulled to reality nung may nagsalita sa Mic, sila Von at Baser.

"Ahem. Ahem. May we have your attention for one minute. Magsasalita lang si Young Master" sabi ni Baser nabatukan tuloy ni Von. Hahaha.

"Maraming salamat mga paps for being with me tonight. I'm so grateful dahil nakadalo kayo. I hope youre enjoying." Von said shortly.

"At dahil birthday ni Von ngayon, kakanta daw siya!" Sabi ulit ni Baser.

"Wooohh. Sample Von. One song lang!" Sigaw nung mga nandito.

Tiningnan naman ni Von si Baser ng masama.

"Tange! Anong ako ka jan. Tayo noh! Uulitin ko lang po, kami po yung kakanta, hindi ako lang. Take it or wala. Hahaha" loko talaga to eh.

"At dahil Birthday ko, ako yung pipili ng kanta." He paused pero nagcontinue din siya agad.

"Tsaka. Tatlo po kaming kakanta. Ang Team Paps! Kaya Ravena! Halika na dito." Sigaw niya.

Napatingin naman ako kay Kiefer. And as what I can see hindi niya alam na kakanta siya. Kailangan pa talaga siyang kaladkarin nila Mike para pumunta sa harap.

Pagkarating niya sa harap, mukang gusto pa talagang magback out, Hahaha. Von whispered something to him tapos I saw him sighed at pumayag nalang.

"Yan. Pumayag na po yung maarte. Pili kana paps" sabi ni Baser.

"Sinasabi ko lang po sa inyo kung umulan man, kasalanan nitong dalawa ha. Mas maganda kaya yung boses ko dito" sabi ni Kiefer.

Nagtawanan nalang sila.

Pagkatapos pumili ni Von ng kanta, may binulong na naman siya kay Kiefer tapos nasiko tuloy. I don't know kung ano yun pero napatingin naman si Kiefer sakin and gives me a short meaningful stare.

Then the music starts playing. Si Baser yung una.

You are my fire the one desire. Believe when I say, I wan't it that way.

Then si Von naman

But we are two worlds apart, cant reach to your heart when you say, I wan't it that way.

Then Kiefer sings the chorus.

Tell me why, ain't nothing but a heartache.
Tell me why, ain't nothing but a mistake
Tell me why,

Then he looked straightly at me.

I never wanna hear you say,
"I want it that way"
