Bachelor Series #1: Black Regoir (COMPLETED)

Prologue

~Black's pov

Pinagtinginan kaming tatlo nina Noriel at Summit ng mga babaeng kaklase habang naglalakad sa corridor. Lahat ng mata sa'min na naman.

Majority of the girls in our class and the others hyped as they had a glimpse of us. It's because we are some of our school's Campus' heartthrob group and this happens frequently.

Si Summit ang nauuna sa'min habang nakangisi, sunod sa kaniya ay si Noriel na nakangiti ng palakaibigan sa mga nadadaanan namin. Ako naman ay tinatamad na dahil sa nakakapagod na klase.

Kahit gano'n narinig ko pa rin ang iilang tilian ng ilang babae sa ibang section. Nang may makitang maganda ay pabiro akong kumikindat at ngumiti. She didn't fail me for she returned the sweet smile. The thing was I saw someone familiar coming.

In the far opposite side of the corridor were three girls coming our way. Ito na 'yong part ng corridor na hindi matao dahil hallway na papuntang cafeteria.

Isa-isang nagsipulan ang mga kasama ko, malamang dahil magaganda ang makakasalubong namin. Hindi ko mapigilang tumitig sa nahuhuling babae. Tinignan kong mabuti ang ayos niya.

Mahabang palda, knee sock, long sleeves na pinatungan ng blazer. Iyon 'yong uniform namin na kahit saang anggulo bagay sa kaniya. Nakasuot na naman siya ng salamin at nakalugay ang mahabang itim na buhok.

I could almost get bewitched by her meek beauty but that would be fatal. Meek types are dangerous. I've been adoring her, she's just so beautiful. However she's kinda introverted. Palaging tahimik, 'di namamansin. Hindi ako makaporma sa kaniya.

I bit my bottom lip when I had a glimpse of her red thin ones, I wonder how soft those are? I refrained myself from instantly greeting her when our groups collided.

"Hey, Astrid!" Summit greeted her crush. "You look so gorgeous today. You should smile at me, too, so you'll get lovelier. You lack life, you know."

On the other hand, Astrid Mercedes only frowned at him and pass through them—him and Noriel. I bet Noriel is laughing his ass off in his head now. Actually, even I.

Wala namang sinabi si Noriel sa step sister niyang si Avon. Humugot ako ng mabilis pero malalim na hininga nang lalampasan na nila ako. Nga lang bigla akong sinapian ng lakas ng loob, kaya nang akmang lalampasan na ako ng babaeng kanina ko pa hinihintay ay mabilis kong hinigit ang braso niya.

I pulled her back to me, the next three seconds of my life were like three hours when I had crushed my lips against hers. It caught her off guard, her small eyes widened in shock and she froze against my hold. Heaven knows I don't want to pull out yet but I had to. A quick kiss isn't my forte, I prefer longer ones but fine, today is an exception.

I smiled sweetly and waved at her, she's still flabbergasted, unmoving and as still as a statue. My chest pounded in delight that I had to immediately turn away in order to hide my smirk. She might see through me.

Humabol ako sa mga walang kaalam-alam kong kaibigan at saka lang lumingon nang papaliko na. Napailing ako nang makitang nakatulala pa rin siya at naiiwan na ng mga kaibigan. Napanguso ako.

Hindi mawala-wala ang ngiti sa labi ko habang naglalakad, paulit-ulit kong inaalala ginawa ko sa kababata ko. Mas lalo akong 'di papansinin n'on.

But I don't mind, I just can't stop thinking about the stolen kiss. Her lips tasted like strawberry. And it was soft, like a cotton. Ano kayang kinakain niya bakit ang tamis ng labi niya?

Hanggang makauwi ako sa bahay 'yon lang iniisip ko, para akong baliw na nangingiti at napapailing.

Naisahan ko na naman siya. 'Yan kasi, magkababata nga kami pero bilang sa daliri ko kung ilang beses niya ako pinansin. Minsan dahil pa kinukukit ko siya, 'yon lang kasi ang paraan para mapansin niya ako.

She's just too shy, it won't hurt to interact with me but she's treating it like it's a sin to engage herself to a conversation with me. And I'm bored of it. I want her attention so bad.

Pagpasok ko ng bahay nadatnan ko si mommy na umiiyak habang may kausap sa cellphone. Agad niya akong niyakap nang makalapit ako, hindi man lang niya sinabi bakit siya umiiyak. Curiosity and confusion rose within me upon seeing her cry.

"Mom, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" I inquired softly.

"Black." She cried.

Hinagod ko ang likod niya, nabitawan niya ang cellphone dahil sa panginginig. Buti agad kong nasalo. Puno ng luha ang mata niya at nagulo na rin ang kaniyang buhok. Minsan lang siya ganito at kapag may malaking problema lang 'yon. Kaya kinabahan ako ng kaunti.

"Your aunt Tessi," she said. "Your godparents, Black."

"Yeah, what's with my godparents? Why are you crying? Come on. Speak up."

Lalo siyang naiyak at nanlulumong umupo sa sofa, sinuklay niya ang buhok at mabagal na umiling-iling sa'kin.

"Mom, what about them?"

"Black, have you seen Yrah?"

"Y-Yes, bakit?

By the mention of my childhood friend's name, I trembled. I waited for her response, and it shook my world. I wondered if she's just pranking me? But the wobbling of my knees told me she wasn't.

"No...they got what, mom? Ambushed?"

My mind wandered to where they might be, I thought of Yrah, my childhood friend and the kiss I stole from her earlier. I was euphoric just a moment ago, and then now, the news sounded like a fraud. I was just happy, how can this mere news banish my joy? I can't accept this.

"Your Aunt Tessi and her family was ambushed, Black. And they're gone. They're gone."

Gone. They're gone. And what about Yrah? Is she also gone?
