Chapter 63

==x==

After ten minutes, the girls will pick wether who's the next on to give a dare at Kaori.

When Gabby emptied his bottle, he rolled the bottle on the table and it pointed at Missy.

"Ano ba?" Missy said while giddily thinking of a dare.

"Guys! Here's the rented karaoke na. Let's have more fun!" Ali cheered as the facilities brought the karaoke system inside.

"Oooohh! I know already!" Missy beamed. "I dare you Kaori na kantahan si Rhys." She continued.

Kaori just face palmed with Missy's dare kasi tingin niya hindi nga siya singer.

"Taraaay! Sige bet ko yan." Jelay said while excitingly clapping.

"Great, Missy. So yung dare na yan ay ipapahiya mo ko sa barkada natin? Okay, thank you so much." Kaori muttered.

"Kaya mo yan girl! Para sa ngalan ng pag-ibig." Dalia stated.

"Ang korni mo." Kaori bluntly replied as she took another shot of her drink and wiped her mouth.

"Sino unang kakanta?" Ali asked the group.

Suddenly Kaori raised her hand up high and the crowd cheered for her. She walked in front of the stage and Rhys can't help but notice her acting oddly weird.

"Aba! Di ko alam na singerist ka pala, Kaori." Gian said chuckling.

"Are you okay?" Rhys asked her.

She just gave him an okay-hand sign and proceed to go on the stage.

"May gitara po ba kayo kuya?" Kaori asked the waiter.

"Ahh, meron po. Pero kasi po ibang fee po yu--"

"It's okay, just include it sa expenses. I'll tip you." Ali interrupted and the waiter just nodded and followed the order.

Kaori just smiled at Ali. The birthday boy is so sweet and considerate, she just pinched Ali's cheek. "Thank you, Ali."

Ali almost cracked at what Kaori said and done. Kaori is so cute and all, but Ali couldn't react the way he wanted cause he quickly averted at Rhys and gulped. Rhys just shot blank stare at him not sure if he's triggered or not.

"Ano ka ba, Kao. Okay lang yun. Sige upo ka na diyan." Ali laughed nervously as he assist Kaori to take a seat on a stool.

When the guitar had arrived, Kaori tuning it and the others was lowkey shocked cause Kaori knows how to play guitar.

"Walang hiya! May tinatago palang talent ang lola niyo!" Dalia exclaimed.

"Marunong pala mag gitara si hapon?" Gabby asked and still shocked.

"Yes. Naggi-guitar lessons kasi yan sila ni Jelay noong high school pa kame. Eh ako lang yung tinamad." Karina stated.

"Marunong ako, pero mas magaling si Kaori sa akin na mag gitara." Jelay said.

"Oh my God, my girl crush!" Missy cheered.

The others excitingly approached the stage as Kaori is ready to perform. Rhys on the other hand was kind of surprised, but not to the point he wanted to show he's thrilled and his excitement. He just silent and patiently waiting.

As Kaori is strumming the guitar, everybody clapped and cheered for her.

"Syet! Ang cool ni Kaori!" Dalia commented.

"Parang ibang Kaori yung nakikita ko eh. Sana all guitarist." Belle said.

While Kaori continue to strum the guitar, she speaks. "This song is for you..." Kaori darted gaze upon Rhys, "So listen carefully." She continued.
