Loving You MR HITMAN

Chapter 41

Oh I can't fight this feeling any longer
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow
What started out as friendship,
Has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show

I tell myself that I can't hold out forever
I said there is no reason for my fear
'Cause I feel so secure when we're together
You give my life direction
You make everything so clear

And even as I wander
I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window
On a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might

And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever

'Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crushing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore

My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
I've been running round in circles in my mind
And it always seems that I'm following you, girl
'Cause you take me to the places
That alone I'd never find

And even as I wander I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window
On a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might

And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever

'Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crashing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore

Habang kumakanta siya sa harap ng mangilan-ngilang kumakain sa Savory ng gabing iyon ay hindi niya maiwasang tapunan ng sulyap si Cassie na nasa di kalayuan. Hindi rin nakaligtas sa paningin niya ang biglang pagpatong ng kamay ni Homer sa likod ng upuan ng dalaga at may ibinulong ito ng kung ano na nagpangiti kay Cassie.

While Joana on the other side is happily singing with him habang nakangiti ring nakatingin sa kanya. This was the first time na kumanta ulit siya sa harap ng mga dating kakilala at sa harap ng kaibigan. Though kumanta na siya noon sa Batangas na si Cassie lang naman ang nakakaalam.

Nasundan pa niya ng tingin si Cassie ng biglang tumayo sa upuan nito na inalalayan ni Homer. Hindi man lamang siya tinapunan ng tingin nito bago umalis. Must be going to the powder room, naisip na lamang niya habang patuloy na kumakanta sa saliw ng piano. Nagpalakpakan ang lahat matapos siyang tumugtog at nagbow siya sa harap ng mga tao at nagpasalamat sa performer na naroon lang sa tabi niya. Nakatayo pa rin sina Homer at Joana ng lapitan niya.

"That was awesome Bok. Hindi ka pa rin kumukupas sa pagkanta," bati ni Homer na pumalakpak pa bago siya tinapik sa balikat.

"Thanks man though I feel awful with that performance."

Sinalubong naman siya ng yakap ni Joana.

"I'm glad to hear that voice again. Mukhang naka move on ka na nga. But I wonder kung para nga ba sa akin ang kantang iyon. May nililigawan ka ba ngayon Liam? " walang prenong tanong ni Joana.

Nagpalipat-lipat ang tingin niya sa dalawang pares ng mata na curious na nakatingin sa kanya. Napailing-iling siya at naupo na at ininum ang isang basong champagne na nasa harap niya.

"Will you stop that questioning Joana? Kelan ka pa nacurious sa lovelife ko?"

"Well sino ba ang hindi macucurious? Sa gwapo mong yan wala pa ring kapalit si ......"

"Stop that. Please..." putol niya sa iba pang sasabihin nito na nagpatawa kay Homer.

"Tigilan mo na si Liam, Joana kung ayaw mong mag walk out sa atin yan," saway ni Homer sa pinsan.
