My Illustrious Lover

XII

Paris' POV

Matapos naming manalo against Stanford University ay nagkaroon kami ng mini celebration sa isang five star hotel na pagmamay-ari ng mga Williams.

After that game against SU ay pinuntahan ako agad ni Harper, congratulating me and my team for our good performance and asking what was that about with Thalia. So I told her what happened at the cr, kung paano kami nagkakilala at kung anong nangyari sa field and I told her I was at fault and Thalia is just being friendly.

She told me she's jealous and I find that cute. Who am I kidding? I always find her cute kahit anong reaction niya. Can't help it, she's just so adorable. But then I assured her na wala siyang dapat pagselosan and just to let that thing go about Thalia.

Brook also congratulated me and the rest of the team then nagpaalam na siya dahil may mga bagay pa daw siya na kailangang gawin.

Back to the hotel, we're having buffet for dinner. Andito ang team at kasama sina Harper, Isabelle and Emily to celebrate our first victory in the elimination round.

Lima kami sa table namin. Audrey, Me, Harper, Belle, and Emily. Kanya kanya ring kain ang team mates ko sa ibang table.

"I think the heaven's gate is open tonight" Emily said which confused us. Mas lalo niya pang nilapit ang upuan niya kay Audrey.

"Ano na naman ba ang pinagsasabi mo diyan? Gutom lang yan. Kumain ka na nga" Audrey replied. Ito na naman sila nagsisimula na naman magbangayan hahaha

"Because I see angel in front of me" sabay tingin kay Audrey which made her blush. At kami namang tatlo ay napatawa at nag fist bump pa sa kanya si Belle at Harper while they cheer for Emily.

"Yun naman pala best eh. Cheesy" I teased her.

"Ewan ko sa inyo. Di naman cheesy, corny mo Ems" Audrey then rolled her eyes to cover her still red face.

"Women like cheesy. First they complain, then they fall for it. Cheesiness is quite addicting. It feels jittery" Ems said while making hand gestures.

"Sorry ka nalang because I'm not one of them" Audrey.

"I know. Because you're not just any woman" Emily replied and winked at Audrey. Di naman nakasagot si Audrey kaya nagpatuloy siya. "You're really... just like Akabosia matsudoensis Kinoshita"

"Akabo what? Sinasabi ko na nga bang alien ka eh" Audrey.

"Akabosia matsudoensis Kinoshita. It's one of the rarest insects in the world. They are the only species in their genus" Emily answered.

"So you're saying I'm an insect?! Bwesit ka talaga Emily!! Lumayo ka nga sa akin baka di ako makapagpigil. Masisipa talaga kita. Sinasabi ko sayo!" nagpipigil ng galit na sabi ni Audrey at kaming tatlo naman ay tawa lang ng tawa.

"No, luv. That's not what I meant. I'm just saying you're a rare breed" Ems said with a bright smile at napatahimik na naman ulit si best.

"Iba ka talaga Emily. You and your colorful mouth" -Belle.

"Words are powerful things. They can break hearts and make panties wet" dahil sa sinabi niya nakatikim rin siya ng batok-ala-Audrey at kami naman ay mas lumakas pa ang tawa. Bwesit na Emily to. Daming alam!

"Uy! Masakit yun ah. Anyway, congrats luv. You played well kanina. I just can't take my eyes off of you" Emily said while massaging the spot kung saan siya binatokan ni best. "And of course sayo, Paris. Nice kick!" she continued.
