The Ignored Heart's Revival

Kabanata 24

Brent's POV

(AHEM. FIRST TIME NA MAY IBANG POV)

I was surprised when I saw Grey at my party. He's not the party type kasi ayaw nya nang maingay.

Beside her was a gorgeous girl. Nung una akala ko sya ang sinasabi ni Grey na may gusto sakin. But, when I looked closer at her face, I know that she was the girl that Grey was talking about. Sya din yung laging nasa bahay nina Grey dati.

I smiled widely. Akalain mo. Dati lagi lang yang pinapalayas ni Grey sa kanila, ngayon kung makakapit si Grey parang ayaw nyang mawala.

Nakipag-usap ako sa kanila nang biglang dumating si Calum. Close friend ko din si Calum. Yung iba kasi sa soccer team may attitude. Sya lang talaga ang makakasundo mo dun.

I greeted him when he came to me. Napatingin ako sa mga kasama nya. Nagulat ako nang tuluyang makita kung sino ang kasama ni Calum.

My jaw dropped when I saw her closely. She's wearing a short, tight, black dress that exposes her cleavage. Masyadong mababa ang neckline nito. Her hair was a bit messy in a sexy way. Her bouncy curls where very attractive.

Napalunok ako na lumapit sa kanya. Nagulat ako nung sabihin nya na sya ang may crush sakin. Very straight forward. Impressing.

Nakasunod lang din ako sa kanya nang pumunta sya sa table nina Grey. I am not supposed to be here. Dapat ay nasa may entrance ako at binabati ang lahat nang pumunta.

Fuck. What was happening to me?

I started a conversation kasi hindi naman sya nagsasalita. She was sipping on her wine when I interrupted her.

"So, you were Peyn's bestfriend?"

"Yeah." Hindi man lang sya tumitingin sakin nung sumagot sya.

"How come you know Calum?" Tanong ko ulit dahil sa pagkakatanda ko ay magkasabay sila ni Calum pumasok.

"He's quite famous. That's why."

"I'm quite famous, too. Kaya pala kilala mo ako. You even have a crush on me."

Pinanood ko sya nung ibinaba nya ang wine glass nya. Tumingin sya sakin nang diretso. I was taken aback when I saw her face closely and clearly. Damn. My fucking heart beat is fucking fast.

"Actually, I don't know you. I don't even know that you were famous."

"Pero sabi mo crush mo ko?"

"Ah! It's because...Nakita kita kasama si Grey and among all those boys, ikaw ang naka-agaw nang atensyon ko. Yeah. Ganun nga. Nung isang linggo lang ata kita nakita. I didn't stalk you kaya hindi ko alam na famous ka. Hindi ka din naman pinag-uusapan sa room namin kaya ganun."

Napatango nalang ako sa kanya.

"So, hindi mo boyfriend si Calum?"

"No."

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

"Wala. Kaya nga crush kita diba?" I chuckled at her answer.

"You know, I like you too." Medyo nairita ako nung humikab sya. What? Boring ba ako? Sya lang ang umaaktong ganito sa harap ko.

"Salamat." Mas lalo akong nairita sa sagot nya. Salamat lang? Matapos kong sabihin na I like her too? Salamat lang?

"So, ano na? Tayo na?"

"Tara. Saan ba?" Napakamot ako nang ulo sa sagot nya. Hinila nya ako patayo at hindi na ako umalma. Mas mabuti na nga na mapag-isa kaming dalawa.

"Sa balcony." I smirked.
