I've always been a big fan of yours. You're loved by many, owned by no one. I've always known you were meant to be admired from afar, but never to have...
You are a star, I'm an average Jane.
You are a prince, I am no princess...
It was okay. It wa...
Chapter 37: "I think no matter how much time passes by, I will always have a weak spot for you. And that terrifies the hell out of me."
There were a lot of handsome guys in the party who obviously paid so much attention to their fashion, but there was Dylan wearing a black long sleeves polo, khaki pants, and a pair of expensive white sneakers, and yet he still freakin' stood out effortlessly.

Madalas talaga ang sarap magsisi na hindi ko siya binalikan! If Santiago were only here, he'd probably rubbed in my face how foolish I was for not taking Dylan back in my life.
As he smiled at the person he was talking to, all I could do was swallow hard and remind myself for the nth time I only did what I had to do. Napaupo ako ng tuwid ng bumalik na siya sa tabi ko.
"Those kids have been eyeing you since we got here," he said, leaning closer so I could hear him. The loud music makes it hard for us to have a decent conversation.
I rolled my eyes. "Oh please, Dylan."
"Can't blame them; you're gorgeous."
I just laughed it off so he wouldn't notice how his words and nearness affect me. I shouldn't have agreed to come with him to his cousin's birthday party, but how could I say no when he gave me that puppy look? I was taking a sip from my drink when I suddenly heard the emcee calling my name.
"Finally," Dylan muttered.
"What is happening?"
"It's time to showcase what you've got."
My eyes widened. "Dylan! Hindi ako prepared."
Hinawakan niya ako sa balikat. "Sandy, you've done this so many times in the past and you can do it again as easily as you always have. I'm just here to cheer for you. Always."
It was true. He was always there to watch my gigs, especially, when I was a bag of nerves during my first few gigs. He would always assure me that I was the best singer for him, and I didn't need validation from other people.
When he reached for my hand and gave it a soft squeeze, my hesitation vanished. Inihatid niya ako hanggang sa stage. I took a deep breath and looked at him. He smiled and gave me a nod.
Lovers in the night
Poets trying to write
We don't know how to rhyme
But damn, we try
But all I really know
You're where I wanna go
For some unknown reason, I found myself looking at him as I sang the next part. He gave me a soft smile and mouthed 'I'm here.'
