The Blind Date [COMPLETED]

Kabanata 11

"You okay, now?" Abdiel asked me.

I nodded my head. We're in the balcony of his assigned room.

"Are you hungry?" He asked. I shrugged.

It was already 10 in the evening. Nagsimula na rin ang party sa may beach pati na rin sa pool area.

"Bumaba kana, enjoy the night," I said to him.

"No." He replied.

"I'm fine, okay lang ako. Just.. just enjoy the night." I said staring at his eyes.

"I rather be with you than to be with them." He said.

I gulped. This guy!

Tumalikod ako at tinignan ang mga taong nagsisiyahan.

Bryleigh kissed Ridge.

But..

But why Ridge didn't push her?

O baka nakaalis na ako ng itulak niya ito?

He likes me. Sinabi niya iyon sa akin. Gusto niya ako.

Pero, mahal niya ba ako?

What if hindi naman pala?

What if si Bryleigh pa rin ang mahal niya?

Gusto niya lang ako.

Pero iba ang mahal niya.

Napabuntong hininga ako. Ang gulo. Ang gulo gulo.

Napasinghap ako ng maramdaman ang pagpatong ni Abdiel ng kaniyang 'coat sa aking braso.

"Baka lamigin ka." He said with his deep baritone voice.

"Let's go," I said.

Lumingon siya sa akin, "I'm not yet ready for that." He said.

"Huh?"

"Nothing." He said shrugging. Nauna siyang naglakad.

Pagkababa namin ay kaagad kong nakita si Bryleigh. She smiles at us.

"Hi," She said at nakipag beso kay Abdiel.

"Happy Birthday! I already gave my gift to Tita." Abdiel said.

"Thank you!" Bryleigh said giggles.

"Is it Hadley?" She asked and point me.

I just nodded.

She smiled and hugged me.

"Oh.. You're so gorgeous." She said.

"Yeah, she is." Anang Abdiel.

Magsasalita pa sana siya ng lumapit sa amin si Ridge.

"Hadley, can we talk?" He asked.

"Nagtatanong kana."

He sighed. At tumingin kay Abdiel at Bryleigh na parehas nakatutok ang mga paningin sa aming dalawa.

"Can you leave 'us alone?" Hindi na nagsalita pa si Abdiel at kaagad siyang umalis.

"Magkakilala kayo?" Bryleigh asked.

Ridge nodded.

She bit her lips. "Okay."

"Hadley.." He started.

"Alam kong nakita mo ang lahat," He said.

"Ano naman?" I replied with my brows arched.

"Alam ko na maraming naglalaro diyan sa isip mo."

"Then?"

"Hadley.."
