Meet Ang Girlfriend Kong MATON BOOK 2 ON GOING

8: Shall we dance Miss Carter?

*One more chapter, Mahalo*

After that 'smack' episode Red and I never got the chance to talk alone.

By day, Barn and Mattie, would keep us company and by night time, me and Belize would talk long hours before going to sleep.

It's been two days but tonight, I don't feel sleepy at all. I kept tossing and turning in bed so I decided to get out for a bit..Namamahay siguro.

Nasa pintuan na ko when I noticed Red's guitar. I took it with me at pumunta na ko nang gazebo..

I began to strum and sing,

can't take my eyes off of you lady antebellum

I sang the first two stanzas but I stopped kasi hindi ko maalala yung susunod.

"I didn't know you can sing and play" it's Red na hindi ko namalayang dumating.

How can he look so gorgeous even at night? Making my heart flutter just the sight of him smiling.

"A friend I met in Japan taught me how", I told him smiling. "Di ka rin makatulog?", I asked.

"Yeah, but who's this friend?" he asked in a serious tone.

Is that jealousy I'm hearing?

"His name is Nikola*, we call him Niko", I replied while trying read the expression on his face.

"He must be special?", he asked again more serious this time..

"Yeah, he is. An advocate of noble idiocy", I replied with a wry laugh.

He looked at me with a " I don't get it" look..

I took a deep breath first before answering "Well, he fell in love with this girl in a picture".

He never said a word he was just looking at me intently like urging me to go on with the story.

"He met the girl in the picture. They fell in love but he left her. Yet, she still waited for him. Idiotic right?" (for more info on this read Until we meet again)

"No, they just love each other. I have a friend in Boston too,si Markho**, she found true love because she waited for it. Look at your cousin Beatriz and Jullian, five years has passed and yet they still found each other", he replied dreamily.

"I guess they're the fortunate ones. Finding love in the most unexpected places, most unconventional times", I replied while thinking about how Love really moves in mysterious ways.

"As long as it's the right person, don't you agree" dagdag niya all the while looking at me intently, half smiling at the same time.

"Siguro" sagot ko sabay kibit-balikat. "Ikaw ba ang para sa akin?", muntik ko nang itanong.

Thankfully, I'm still sane enough to keep it to myself. Yeah, we kissed but I don't know what he really feels. Buti pa yung dating Red who's like an open book. Napaka-transparent.. Napaka-honest. Pero itong mokong na kaharap ko ngayon, ay ewan, kung bakit yung selective amnesia niya yun pa ang sinelect.. Very selective..

"Ituloy mo na yung kanta, for sure naalala mo na susunod na nota", he gestured the guitar.

"Paano mo nalamang nakalimutan ko yung next notes?, gulat kong tanong.

"Mukha ka kasing constipated" he replied seriously. Tsaka ito bumunghalit nang tawa.

"Ah ganun" then I hit his arm lightly, laughing at the same time..

"Sadista." he replied still laughing. "Kumunot kasi noo mo tapos parang kinakapa mo yung susunod na nota. Tugtog na, puwede naman nang pagtiyagaan yang pangharana mo sa akin kahit sintunado ka.", he smiled sweetly. How adorable can he get?

"Sinong sintunado?", seryosong tanong ko. Gusto mo lang marinig ang boses ko eh".

"Yeah, I just love listening to your voice and I just love staring at your pretty face." seryosong sagot niya and his hand rested on my cheek.

I can hear bells ringing, warning bells or love bells I don't know.

I just love what I'm feeling right now..

I love when you tell me that I'm pretty when I just wake up

And I love how you tease me when I'm moody, but it's never too much

I'm falling fast, but the truth is I'm not scared at all

You climbed my walls

Looking at him right now I know I Love this man with all my heart..

So stay here beside me, just hold me and don't let go

This feeling I'm feeling is something I've never known

And I just can't take my eyes off you

And I just can't take my eyes off you, off you, off you

Natapos na kong kumanta pero nakatitig pa rin siya sa akin.

"I really can't take my eyes off you now. Paano ko nga ba napa-ibig ang isang katulad mo, Rafaella Simone Carter?" his voice almost a whisper and his eyes always with this glint of loneliness yet they always weaken my knees..

"Even King Solomon have not come to know, the way of a ship in the heart of the sea and the way of an able bodied man with a maiden" I quoted Proverbs 30: 18, 19, nervously.

"Smartypants" he replied leaning closer.

He took the guitar off my hands and with one swift move we're standing face to face.

With his signature smile, he asked, "Shall we Dance, Miss Carter?
