CHAPTER 22: One Lucky Girl

PATRICE’S POV

October 06. Sunday.

I was wearing the cocktail dress that I bought from the last time. My sister offered me a drink. We’re standing beside a table. In this reception, you can see tables with different guests everywhere talking with each other. By the side of the hall, there’s the buffet of different foods that we can choose from. And they set-up a massive T-shaped stage where the fashion models will ramp later.

The lights are scattered everywhere while a lively pop music is blasting around this hall. I looked at my phone again, waiting for Tyrone to send me a message saying he changed his mind.

“Pat, it’s okay if Tyrone’s not here. We can still enjoy the show, sis.” Ate Laurice tried to cheer me up. May mga tinawag syang kakilala niya then introduce them to me. I think one guy is a celebrity. Sorry I’m not really into show business so I don’t know his name pero alam kong isa syang celeb.

“Ate Laurice, start na! I’m so excited! First time kong makakanuod ng ganitong show.” Sabi ko kay Ate. At least it is half-true. Nung makita kong isa- isa ng naglalabasan yung mga models, parang na-excite agad ako!

“Hey, look at that dress she’s wearing. Conservative but sexy. I like it.” Sabi ni Ate Laurice at tinuro yung isang model na rumarampa. Ang galing naman ng designer na ‘toh… hindi talaga revealing yung outfit na suot nung model pero may something sexy sa kanya.

“It looks nice. I know you can rock it, Ate Laurice.” Sabi ko sa kanya. Pinagpatuloy namin yung panunuod pa sa mga models. Kahit paano, medyo na-indulge din ako. I’m a Tourism student and I also have a thing for fashion kaya na-enjoy ko din ito. I know I would’ve enjoyed it more kung nandito si Tyrone….

“Look, sis. That one. I will order that for you, exactly your style.” Turo ni Ate Laurice sa isang model na nakasuot ng silver strapless top, with matching black leather vest. She’s wearing tight pants and boots.

“Wow. Parang ang mainstream but I like it…” sabi ko kay Ate Laurice. We clicked our glass of wine that we’ve been drinking since the start of the show.

“Oooh~ It’s time for guys.” Narinig kong sabi ni Ate Laurice. Pareho pa rin kaming nakatingin sa stage kung saan ang mga male models naman ang rarampa.

“Ghaddd, look at that face. So handsome.” Pang- aasar sa akin ni Ate Laurice at may kasama pang siko.

“Ikaw talaga, Ate Laurice. Hindi ko type yan noh, yung isa yung type ko. Haha.” sakay ko na lang sa trip niya.

“Alin? Yung sunod? Yun? Yung naka-red? O yung naka-black?” this time nag-tuturuan na talaga kami ni Ate Laurice.

“Hindi yan, yun ngang naka-black. Diba ang pogi? Hihi.” Sabi ko. Actually, hindi ko talaga ‘type’ in that way, I mean, he looks hot at naalala ko si Tyrone dahil mahilig syang magsuot ng black.

“Ah talaga? parang di naman.” napalingon kami ni Ate Laurice sa gilid ko nung bigla na lang may sumingit sa usapan namin. I immediately lighten up nung makita kong si Tyrone ito!

“OMG, Ty! You’re here? Waaa~ sabi ko na hindi mo ako matitiis eh~ (>3<)” I threw myself at him for a hug. He hugged me for a second before he pulled away.

“The show’s not yet over. I’m here to make sure you wouldn’t drool at any of those guys.” Sabi ni Tyrone at hinila na ako pabalik sa table, dun sa pwesto namin.
