Begin Again [One Last Cry Sequel] [EDITING]

Part XIV

"Gosh I was so worried about you! Where have you been last night Freya? My goodness!" Tanya exclaimed.

"Drop it Tanya. I bet you have never even thought about me last night because you were goddamn busy drooling over those cute archi guys you were following yesterday." I retorted.

"Oh. Well. That was harsh, but yeah." She then giggled.

"But really, where have you been?" She asked.

I got myself a bowl of veggie salad with a piece of garlic bread and a can of milk and headed to the nearest table. I'm starving. Never thought spending the night in the forest could ruin my appetite.

"I got lost in the forest." I simply stated.

"What?!" She shouted upon sitting accross me. "You must be scared. I mean.. wandering alone in the forest is dangerous."

"I'm not alone." I stated and started eating my food.

"You're not? Who are you with?" She asked with her tone full of curiosity.

"Clark."

"OH.MY.GOD!!!"

My eyes widened. I looked around us and saw everyone was staring at us. Tanya's voice was drawing so much unwanted attention.

"Can you tone down your voice?!" I eyed her. Gosh this girl. Did she swallowed a microphone when she was a kid or an entire party box?

"Oh I'm sorry. I just can't believe that you get to be with that hottie overnight! That should be me." She pouted.

My forehead creased. What is she saying?

"Are you deranged?" She must be. I think she is.

"I guess I am, but that Clark is a hottie, and I would trade anything just to be with him for a night. I mean anything."

"Like?" I asked.

"My body."

I almost choked on my food. Tanya must be completely out of her mind.

"You're one crazy girl." I rolled my eyes.

I silently finish my food whilst Tanya was blabbering about those Archi guys she was stalking yesterday like a creep.

The rest of the day in the Riverside was pretty productive. We had some fun activities and a picnic I enjoyed a lot.

When evening came; our professors arranged a talent showcase event for us wherein everyone was free to join.

I was surprised when Tanya went forward and started dancing in the tune of Single Ladies. She was so funny! She's not good in dancing, but I admire her confidence.

"Anyone else?" Mr. Crawford asked.

"Me!" Someone on the left corner raised his hand, and I was surprised to see Clark smiling. He marched forward whilst his friends were cheering for him.

Meanwhile, I could hear my classmates giggling. I shook my head. Clark's a good catch, I can't blame these gals for acting this way.

"May I request for a company here?" Clark asked. And suddenly all girls are  running towards him like he's their salvation.

I saw him chuckling whilst fixing his microphone and guitar.

"T'was so kind of you girls, but I think I could use Ms. Freya Cassandra Zyford's company." He said through his microphone.

All of a sudden all eyes was on me. I frozed the moment Clark mentioned my name. What was he thinking?

Tanya slightly pushed me and gave me a what-are-you-doing-girl-don't-make-that-hottie-wait look.

Clark run his fingers through his hair and mouthed "C'mon" while looking at my direction. I think he's trying to bewitched me... and it's working. I started walking towards him without throwing glances around me. I couldn't believe my eyes.. I'm seeing an angel. How could he be so attractive?

"I thought you'd reject my invitation." He whispered as I stood in front of him.

I gave him a small smile and bit my lower lip. This guy was making me do things I never thought I could in my entire life.

Mr. Crawford handed me a wireless microphone. I'm really doing this.

Clark started strumming his guitar. He looked even more attractive while playing musical instruments.

I took a deep breath and with a cold feet.. I started singing señorita.

🎶
(Freya)
I love it when you call me señorita
I wish I could pretend I didn't need ya
But every touch is ooh la la la
It's true, la la la
Ooh, I should be running
Ooh, you keep me coming for you

(Clark)
Land in Miami
The air was hot from summer rain
Sweat dripping off me
Before I even knew her name, la la la
It felt like ooh la la la
Yeah no
Sapphire moonlight
We danced for hours in the sand
Tequila sunrise
Her body fit right in my hands, la la la
It felt like ooh la la la, yeah

(Duet)
I love it when you call me señorita
I wish I could pretend I didn't need you
But every touch is ooh la la la
It's true, la la la
Ooh, I should be running
Ooh, you know I love it when you call me señorita
I wish it wasn't so damn hard to leave you
But every touch is ooh la la la
It's true, la la la
Ooh, I should be running
Ooh, you keep me coming for ya

(Freya)
Locked in the hotel
There's just some things that never change
You say we're just friends
But friends don't know the way you taste, la la la
'Cause you know it's been a long time coming
Don't you let me fall

Ooh, when your lips undress me
Hooked on your tongue
Ooh love, your kiss is deadly
Don't stop

(Duet)
I love it when you call me señorita
I wish I could pretend I didn't need you
But every touch is ooh la la la
It's true, la la la
Ooh, I should be running
Ooh, you know I love it when you call me señorita
I wish it wasn't so damn hard to leave ya
But every touch is ooh la la la
It's true, la la la
Ooh, I should be running
Ooh, you keep me coming for you

(Freya)
All along I've been coming for you
And I hope it meant something to you
Call my name, I'll be coming for you
Coming for you, coming for you, coming for you

For you (ooh, she loves it when I come)
For you

Ooh, I should be running
Ooh, you keep me coming for you🎶

We were staring at each other. I know for sure that everyone was applauding and shouting like an audience in a superstar concert going wild, but I couldn't pay any attention to them because I was in front of that wild crowd with this amazing man who's making my heart skip a beat again after a very long time.

He moved a little closer until his face was inches away from mine and whispered the words I didn't expect to hear tonight.

"Te amo señorita."
