"I missed you, maarteng Olbes." He whispered.

I arched my eyebrow hearing his damn words. I tried, I really tried to make myself composed. I silently convinced myself to keep myself in the line, that I should not let him see some of my damn genuine emotions for him.

Emotions that I shouldn't entertain at all.

But, what now?

The woman, who he often calls overacting is now facing him with heated face. Behind the fact that he ignored me for the long period of time, he made me feel this damn kilig.

Kilig na isinumpa ko na hindi ko mararamdaman sa isang Arellano. That's a damn sin for an Olbes. But what now? What am I doing?

Maybe, maybe yeah, its just the damn alcohol. Blame the alcohol.

I thanked the disco lights for not showing my reddened face as hell. I can still hide myself from sight defeat.

We're still in the same position, with loud noises, huge crowd and endless teases from different directions. But hell, the pumping of my foolish heart is way louder than these noises around us.

His chinito eyes were smiling!

I stopped singing but the crowd continued the damn lyrics.

At kung ikaw ay nakatawa
Ako pa ba ay nakikita
Nalilimutan ko ang itsura ko
Kapag kausap na ikaw
Sana naman ako'y pakinggan
At nang ikaw ay malinawan
Dahil nabihag mo ang aking paningin at damdamin
Oh! Chinito... Chinito...

Hindi man lang siya nag-abalang ibaba ako. Hindi man lang siya gumagalaw at hinayaan niya ang sarili naming magtitigan nang napakatagal.

It was like the whole scene was just between the two of us.

"Bati na tayo, maarteng Olbes." He bit his lower lip while grinning his face like an idiot prince charming.

Lalo nang nagtago ang kanyang mga mata nang pilit niyang pinipigilan ang sarili niyang hindi ngumiti o ngumisi sa akin. Ilang beses pa itong napapailing at nag-iiwas ng tingin sa akin, bago siya lumingon sa dj.

"Come on, change the song!" Natatawang sabi nito.

But the crowd didn't hear him, naulit ang kanta. At mas lalong umalingawngaw ang kantang chinito.

"Kinikilig ka Wayto," ngising sabi ko sa kanya.

Forget about the damn worries Olbes! It's the alcohol, it's the damn alcohol. Just go with the damn flow and enjoy the night!

I nodded inside my thoughts.

"Kinikilig ka, right?" ulit ko.

Nanlaki ang chinito nitong mga mata sa akin.

"W-What? No way!" ngumisi ako sa sinabi niya.

He loves the chinito, huh? Nakakita ulit ako ng panibagong kahinaan sa kanya.

"Alright, ibaba mo na ako. We're making a scene babe." Sa pagkakataong ito ako na ang nag-ikot ng tingin sa maraming tao.

Even my friends were grinning like an idiot.

"I don't care,"

Hindi na namin pinansin ni Wayto ang mga tao. Mabilis rin nawala ang atensyon sa amin nang si Antonia at si Dylan naman ang gumawa ng eksena.

Wayto chose the stairs, inilalayan niya muna ako bago ito naupo sa pangalawang baitang na mas mababa sa akin.

Still, we're closer and we can easily reach each other. Masyadong matangkad si Wayto para hindi ako maabot sa isang baitang na pagitan lamang.
