The Beauty Of Paeoniaceae (Untamed Heart #1) ☑

Chapter 8

I tried to look at the mirror if something was wrong with my outfit. I'm invited to the house party with Kelsie. Ayaw ko sanang pumunta but kelsie force me to go dahil wala siyang kasama, hindi naman pwede na iwan ko siya dahil pareho kaming in-invite ni Ellias.

I'm wearing a black Bralette and denim mini skirt with checkered jacket. I'm also wearing my black stiletto open toe. Bigla akong nahiya dahil mukhang masyado kong pinaghandaan ang party kahit hindi naman ako exicited.

I also put a light makeup on my face bago ako lumabas. Kelsie keeps calling me because she's already there waiting for my arrival.

"Where are you going?" I stop when I heard my mom voice in the living room. She look at my outfit ups and down. I licked my lower lips before I near to her.

"I'm going to my friend's party?" Tipid na sabi ko sa kanya. Tinaasan niya ako ng kilay like She doesn't believe me because it's my first to go into the party.

"With whom?"

"With Kelsie my bestfriend, mom." Napabuntong hininga siya bago binalik ang atensyon sa binabasa niya. Napatingin ako kay Gemini na kanina pa pala nakatingin sa'kin. I smiled to her and she aslo smiled to me.

"You look beautiful in your outfit ate." I licked my lips again because of her compliment. I'm not used to hear any compliments about me.

"Just don't let yourself to drunk. I know parties, I was been there for a long time. Just be careful!" Napatingin ako kay mommy nang mag salita siya. I blink my eyes several times because of what she said. Did I hear it? Or it has been just my thoughts.

"Thank you, mom" I shyly said to her because it's my first time to hear it from her. I hope this time she's truly concerned for me.

Lumabas ako nang bahay at nag-abang nang taxi. Madami din kasing dumadaan na taxi dito sa village namin kaya minsan hindi ako nahihirapan pero ngayon mukhang mahihirapan yata ako dahil gabi na.

Napatingin ako nang may humintong Mercedes benz sa harap ko at lumabas doon si Thaddeus.

He looks fresh and cool on his outfit lalo na't bagong ligo siya. He's wearing black khaki shorts and white T-shirt with black Adidas jacket. He looks my face down to my outfit. Naiilang ako sa klase nang tingin niya sa akin.

"What are you doing here?" Nagtatakang sabi ko sa kanya. He didn't answer my question he just still looking at me.

"Where are you going?" Malamig na sabi niya sa'kin. Hindi ko alam kung sasabihin ko ba sa kanya kung saan ako pupunta dahil wala naman siyang pakialam kung saan ko gusto pumunta.

"House party with Kelsie. Ellias invite us to go on his birthday." He raised his eyebrow because of what I said.

"A boy?" I licked my lips because of his damn voice! Why his voice sound sexy!

"Yes" Halos mawalan ako nang hininga ng sinabi ko iyon. I don't know why do I feel nervous while explaining to him. I don't know why do I need to explain this, I just don't want him to think bad about me.

"It's your first time right? Why did you agree with him?" Hindi makapaniwalang sabi niya na parang disappointed siya sakin.

Naiinis kong binalingan siya! why did he care? it's my life and I can do what I ever I want to do!
