"Can I join you, guys?" His voice devoid of any emotions.
But that didn't matter to my friends because they all panicked and offered their seats for him. They seem to not know what they should do. Kanya-kanya silang salita at halos hindi na magkarinigan. Idagdag pa ang music mula sa dj.
It was pretty hilarious watching them actually. But my laugh was hidden due to Apollo's lingering looks at me. Mukha siyang may nais sabihin pero nag-aalangan dahil sa mga kasama namin.
They all stop gushing over him when he choose to sit beside me. His light brown eyes was emphasized by the strobe lights. I saw how he darkly stared at Dazzel's hands on my back at the couch.
Napanganga silang lahat at di ko maiwasang mailang sa titig nila. He just sat beside me and stared at me wearily. My friends at the table all gives us looks, some with wonders and curiosity, and some with hopeful eyes like Candice. Her drunk self is gone, it's like she's woken up.
Napakagat-labi ako sa reaksiyon nilang lahat. Idagdag pa ang nakakailang na pagkakatitig ni Apollo.
He laid his hands at the back of my couch. It sent shivers down my spine, tingling. I feel like he would caress my back! Oh my gosh! I'm being delusional!
Panicking, I lifted my glass of tequila and didn't even bother myself with it's taste. I'm more concerned with my drumming heartbeats!
Shit, I could have a heart attack with this! Lumala yata ang nararamdaman ko para sa kanya?
"That's enough. That's your third glass already." He casually get my glass ang put it on the table.
Napapihit ako ng tingin sa kanyang mukha upang makita ang kanya'ng ekspresyon. Nasa akin ang tingin niya at di ko mapangalanan iyon. What is this? Am I hallucinating or there's really something in his eyes while looking at me?
"How did you know it's my third glass, huh?" Nanliit ang tingin ko sa kanya.
Heller?! I'm not gonna pabebe all night, no. Yes, I'm kinda feeling giddy but I'm not gonna hide and cower like a scared cat.
"Are you stalking me?" I raised my brow at him.
Napatda ako nang ilinapit niya ang kanyang ka-gwapuhan sa maganda kong mukha. Just enough distance to not kiss.
"I messaged you and you're not answering. I was worried you forgot your way home." His masculine voice near my ear brought me goosebumps. Gosh, aatakehin yata ako ng heart attack dito!
Hindi ko naiwasang paluin siya. Hoy, kahit kinilig ako, narinig ko pa rin ang sinabi niya. Anong akala niya sa akin? Bata?
So he admits he followed me here? Ilalapit ko sana ang bibig ko sa taenga niya para bumulong din nang makita ko ang mga tingin ng mga blockmates ko na nanliliit sa akin. Puro may malisya ang mga tingin nila. Si Candice ay nakanganga at gulat na gulat habang tinitingnan kami'ng dalawa ni Apollo.
"Dazzel, tama na 'yan. Lasing ka na." Dinig kong pagpigil ni Lily.
Kanina pa nga iyan si Dazzel umiinom ng hard drinks. Hindi naman lasenggo ang isang yan, ah.
Iniiwas ko ang tingin sa kanila at binalingan si Apollo.
"So how did you know I'm here?" Mahina kong tanong.
"What? I can't hear you." Naningkit ang mata niya sa akin.
Yes, the music is loud pero nagka-karinigan pa naman yata kami?
