17.2 Party
THALIE's POV
We're slow dancing in the middle of the living room, I can't stop myself from blushing hard after realizing our intimate moment kanina. I love it a lot, especially now na sumasayaw kami privately
"I have a story to tell." Kurt smiled before throwing his hair back, parang iniisip niya muna kung paano umpisahan ang pag-kwento.
"You must be curious how I caught feelings for you." Tumango ako, I'm indeed curious.
"I've known you for like my whole life now and I've been watching you from afar since then, for sure you have no idea about this. We're neighbors back then but I couldn't approach you since you're always with your play mates especially that one girl and one guy na hindi ka maiwan iwan na mag-isa."
"That must be Ken and Diane pero sandali, what do you mean by neighbors?! Kurt Guzman, wala ka ba'ng balls non at hindi mo ka nakipaglaro sakin!?" I glared at him.
"I'm okay with watching you from afar, Princess. Baka hinalikan na kita non kahit bata pa tayo, your parents will surely kill me." Tumawa siya.
"Little did they know, ako pala ang hahalik sayo not the other way around." Umirap ako dahil sa kalandian ko. I'm so done with myself.
"Naughty girl," He pinched my cheeks, "You should calm down, if you keep doing this, I won't be able to control myself." Bumungisngis lang ako sakanya.
"Going back to my story," Ngumisi siya, "You've always been a princess in my eyes. You're very graceful and articulated, besides that you also look incredible appearance-wise. It seems like you're very far away from me to reach kahit na hawak kita ngayon."
"Kurt, masiyado mo na tinataas yung bangko ko." Reklamo ko baka lumaki ang ulo ko, kasalanan niya!
"I'm only stating facts."
"Whatever."
"Continue being like this, Thalie."
"I won't change." I caressed his cheeks, "If you reach out your hand, you should know that I'll always accept it and pull you closer to me. I'm sorry that's the only thing I can offer for now."
"That is more than enough, my love." He pulled my head closer so I rested it on his shoulders, his scent alone can make me calm down. A lone tear from my dropped from my right eye, I don't wanna be dramatic but this is overwhelming. Being loved by Kurt is overwhelming.
I just smiled and went back on sitting in the couch, I decided to retouch my make up na para makabalik na kami sa Royalties.
Lumingon ako sakanya at naabutang hindi pa rin siya gumagalaw sa kinatatayuan niya habang nakatingin pa rin sa akin. I signalled him to come to me at ako na mismo ang nagpunas ng gilid ng labi niya niya, nakita ko ang ngisi niya pero hindi ko na pinagtuunan ng pansin iyon.
Kinuha ko ang sling bag ko at niyaya na siyang bumalik sa open field. Well, nagta-tagal ba naman kami dito baka makahalata na sila.
"What took you guys so long?" Salubong sa'min ng Royalties, I knew that they'll ask this.
"Salitan kami tumae ni Kurt sa banyo." I told them with my serious face. Narinig ko ang tawa ni Kurt habang umirap naman sila Rhian.
"Go get your own food na, kanina pa nag-umpisa ang kainan pero mas inuna lang ng mga estudyante yung alak." Aniya ni Kylie.
"I'll get you your food na." Mahinang bulong ni Kurt at tumango nalang ako. Hindi rin naman nag-tagal nang mag-lapag siya ng plato na puno ng pagkain sa tapat ko, he also gave me a soda.
The party went well, medyo nag-tampo rin si Chyros nang hindi ko sila napicturan ni Kylie na sumayaw sa slow music, pero bumalik sa pagiging masayahin ang gago nang malaman niyang na-picturan pala sila ni Rhian.
A slow music eventually played again at nagyaya ulit si Kurt na sumayaw, hindi ko na kailangan ibilin kila Rhian na picturan kami dahil I can feel some camera flashed mula na sa mga phones ng mga ibang students.
We just enjoyed the night. Had some fun dancing through the music, enjoying the taste of the alcohol beverages and of course, taking our time capturing every single moment using our camera.
The star couple of the night ay sina Earl at Rhian, inis pa sila kunwari na shini-ship sila but I know they they both like the attention they got tonight. After the party, we all ended up in our private building. Oh well, nakainom kaming lahat, kaya mahirap umuwi kaya napagpasiyahan naming dito nalang matulog lalo na at may mga uniforms naman kami dito.
Tumaas na kami sa kanya-kanya naming kwarto. Well, my room in here is quite small than my room in our house. Katamtaman lang kasi ang laki ng kwarto ko dito 'di gaya ng kwarto ko sa bahay naming Royalties na malaki talaga.
But it's okay, super comfortable naman dito at may mga stuff toys din ako dito to make it more homey.
I took a half bath and wore a simple joggers and over size shirt before going to bed pero imbis na makatulog ako, I suddenly craved for chocolates. That's it, bababa ako to get what I want then tsaka ako matutulog.
I switched the light on at nag-timpla lang ako ng hot chocolate, napangisi at iling ako nang makita ko ang living room, nag-replay bigla ang nangyari sa'min ni Kurt kanina dito. For my own good, lumabas nalang ako ng building at umupo muna sa may bench sa labas dahil baka mas mabaliw pa ako if I think about it more.
I took a sip on my chocolate drink and quietly stared at the night sky. The stars were so beautiful and the moon were shining brightly. I love night skies. It calms me.
"Can't sleep?" My eyes looked at the person who suddenly spoke. It's Ella.
"Slight, nag-crave lang ako sa chocolate drink." I chuckled lightly and continued staring back on the sky.
"You love star gazing, don't you?" All of the sudden, napatingin ako 'kay Ella. She has a mug of coffee on her right hand at kasalukuyan siyang sumisimsim dito.
"Yeah, who doesn't? It's pretty."
"Yeah, it's pretty."
For some reasons, laging naga-appear si Ella whenever I'm alone and thinking about something. I don't know much about her but I wanna get closer to her.
