Chapter Eight
“What little drama is this Sean? Who the heck is this girl?”
Umuusok ang ilong ni Mitch! Tawa much naman ako deep inside. Wait, I have to check Sean’s reaction to the flare-up of the witch.
Aba, parang walang narinig si Sean. Good boy!
“Puntahan ko muna si Benj, saglit lang. Babalikan kita agad...” Sean said.
I nodded.
“Don’t stay long...”
He nodded and strolled away. I looked at Mitch. Hinagod ko ng tingin pa----ta-----as then, pa---ba---ba----at pa----ta---as ulit. Okay, she looks good. Black dress...lacy...short...seductive. Seductive-in mo mukha mo! I faked a smile...
“Can I see your invitation, Miss...” sabi ko habang inilalahad ang kamay.
Wala syang maipakita. Imposible na nasa purse nya kasi maliit naman ito. Obviously, wala syang invitation. So, sorry na lang sya!
“If you don’t have any invitation, we would consider you as a gate crasher. Then, you would be offered two choices: you will leave the party gracefully or you have to be dragged out by the security.”
“Wait! Sean, the representative of Cool Culture, invited me to be his date tonight.”
“Apparently, Mr. Gonzales forgot to send you the invitation itself. I’m too sorry.”
I faked a smile again. I love this game.
“Excuse me, do you and Sean have a relationship?”
“I think it’s beyond civil to ask that question.”
“I have seen everything.”
Nakita mo na pala, bakit ka pa nagtatanong. Tangers mo naman. Tsaka anong naiisip mo ngayon kung bakit deadma ka kay Sean? Isipin mo, kung may isip ka. =)
“Oh, well, then...shall you leave with grace or would you like to be escorted?”
Tinaasan nya ako ng kilay. Abot kisame eh! Then, she walked towards me. Malapit para maibulong nya sa akin...
“Akin si Sean. Hindi ikaw ang magiging kaagaw ko.”
As if namang magpapakabog ako sa ganung salita lamang! Helllllooooo!
“Hindi ako nakikipag-agawan lalo pa’t alam ko namang sadyang sa akin na.”
Ngitngit ang lola nyo. Ano bang laban nya sa akin, nag-rehearse pa kaya ako. Kulang na lang ay mag-enrol ako sa talent workshop para maperfect ang scene na ito.
Wala syang naisagot. She just glared at me and walked away. Pinasundan ko naman agad sa isang receptionist to make it sure na lumabas nga siya ng venue.
Wagi na naman ang Dyosa!
Shortly, the launching began. Petiks na lang ako kasi, hindi naman ako involved sa program. May kinuha naman kaming hosts for the event. So, I just sat with Sean. We watched as the models walked down the ramp in the latest collection from Cool Culture. I am enjoying the scene when a guy came.
Nagkamayan ang dalawa ni Sean.
“Congrats, bro!”
“Congrats din!”
