Rocking a Doctor's Heart

Chapter 42

I don't know why and how but I found myself dancing with Sergio in a superclub at midnight. Imbes kasi na humiga matapos kausapin si Dame ay naisipan kong pumunta roon and thankfully, Sergio found me!

"Woah! I think I've nerve seen you so hyped-up like this, babe," he chuckled while trying to match my energy dancing with the crowd.

Nang pumailanlang ang mas malanding tugtog ay lalong bumakas ang mangha kay Sergio. I smirked at him as our other acquaintances found us and danced along with me.

"NYC must have been a good teacher to you Rock," someone from our group said. 

"A supermodel must be so exposed to parties like this, Jay."

Tinawanan ko na lang ang kanilang mga komento. Sergio didn't leave my side at dahil dumami ang nakikihalubilo sa amin ay mas sumikip ang pwesto. I can now feel Sergio holding me close to him which I didn;tmind.

I danced and he danced. I laughed and he laughed.

"Babe," Sergio whispered to me while he is hugging me from the back. Hindi ko marining masyado dahil sa ingay kayamas lalo siyang lumapit.

"What?" I tried to turn my head to him as I feel the sweat from the side of my face down to my neck with my hands. 

"Cher is here," he said. 

Sa excitement ay agad akong naglakad papunta sa table na tinukoy ni Sergio. 

Madami ang bumabati pero hanggang ngiti lang ang naibibigay ko.I'm so happy that Cher is here! Tamang-tama pala talagang nagpunta ako rito because I am having fun and will definitely have much more!

Before I could even see Cher, nahagip ng paningin ko ang pamilyar na bultong papaalis sa kabilang banda ng hileraa ng mga mesa. The dance floor is packed  that's nakikita ko mularito ang mga nakatayo. I am not drunk and sure as hell, kahit medyo nahihilo mula sa kakasayaw at sa mga malilikot na ilaw ay alam kong likod ni Steve ang nakita ko.

Walang pagdadalawang isip kong sinundan ang direksyon niya, kahit pa may nakakakilala sa akin na nadaanan at bahagya silang tinatanguan, alam kong palabas ng superclub ang tungo niya.

I was right when I saw him near his car assisting a drunk woman...Doc Shan.

Natutop ko ang aking bibig nang makita ang malakas na paghampas ni Doc Shan sa dibdib nang hindi natitinag na si Steve. He is trying to get a hold of her elbows but Doc Shan is so eager to hurt him.

I saw how her tears run down her pretty face as Steve stood there accepting all her punches.

I walked closer to them but stopped midstep when I saw Damien approaching from the other direction. Pareho kaming natigilan nang mapansin niya rin ako. His lips parted and turned hos body towards my direction while glancing back to where Steve and Doc Shan are.

Napapikit ako saglit sa umataking hilo.When I opened my eyes, I maintained a straight face as I saw Damien now walking towards me. My jaw clenched as he darkly gazes at me.

"Damien..."Doc Shan's broken voice made me roll my eyes at Damien. I saw Steve and Doc Shan's attention now directed at us.

Sinimulan ko ang maglakad papunta sa kotse kong malapit lang sa sasakyan ni Steve when Dame grabbed my arm.

Mabiliskong hinawi ang kamay niya pero hindi niya ako tinigilan.

"Jade Olivia!"his voice thundered stopping me on my tracks. Agad bumalong ang luha sa aking mga mata. Mabilis na pagkurap ang aking ginawa bago siya hinarap.Pinantayan ko ang nagbabadyang galit sa hitsura niya.

"What?!"

"Did..." Dame's head tilted a bit giving me a show of his clenching jaw. Mariin siyang napapikit bago humugot ng malalim na hininga. "Did you drink?" his husky voice seems like he is having a difficult time controlling his temper.
