Chapter Eight

"Then dance with me. Only me..."

"H-huh?" Ang hilo ko ay parang tuluyan na akong nilisan. Pakiramdam ko ay nagising ako bigla mula sa pagkakatulog.

He placed my hands on his nape, encircling it. Doon ay napansin kong hanggang dito ay naririnig parin ang tugtog mula sa ibaba but from wild music, it became slower this time. The ambiance is making me dizzy again.

Kit placed his calloused hands on my waist, slightly squeezing it.

"You wanna dance, then dance with me..." He voice was hoarse, it sounds so sexy.

He swayed, guiding my whole body on his own rhythm, making me memorize every inch of it—even his body.

It's just too odd that my body immediately familiarize his touch just like that. It was responding on him as if it has its own mind. I don't know if I'm just drunk or what.

We're just staring at each other, feeling the familiarity within us. His chinky eyes, pointed nose and red lips. Ngayon ko lang ulit siya natitigan nang ganito kalapit. And it makes my heart hurt. So bad.

Parang kanina lang ay nagsisigawan kami tapos ngayon ito at nagsasayaw na kami, dinarama ang isa't-isa.

Nanghina ang mga braso ko kaya napunta iyon sa kanyang malapad na balikat. He's wearing a black polo dress, its first three buttons are open, revealing his silver necklace. It has a small letter 'L' pendant on it. Must be his surname, Legaspi. His sleeves was folded on his elbow revealing his black digital watch.

Legaspi, you are just too beautiful to be true. Yet too deep to get drown...

I was busy watching him, not minding his stares when he suddenly pulled my head towards his chest. His smell feels nostalgic and I realized that this is his smell years ago. Iba ito sa amoy niya pag nasa office. This. This is my favorite scent of him...

"You are too obvious." I felt his breath on my temple. He smells mint.

"Obvious on what?" My voice came out too soft. I'm trying to hide my face. Im too embarrassed. I already told myself that I'm on the stage of moving on, but look where I am right now? In the arms of the man whom I'm moving on at.

Kit slides his hands on my back. "You're so obvious that you're checking on me." He chuckled.

"I am." Mas lumakas ang tawa niya.

The alcohol is now working on me. I could feel its effect on me. It's obviously showing right now. Mas nagiging matapang na ako kaya malamang tinamaan na ako ng alak.

"Uh-huh. And why is that, baby, hmm?" He asked softly while playing with my hair.

Mas lalong dumami ang mga hibla ng buhok ko na nasa mukha ko na ngayon dahil narin sa pagsasayaw ko kanina kaya mas lalong naging natural iyon tingnan.

I shrug my shoulders. "It just feels so strange that I'm here in your arms right now..."

We're still swaying slowly, feeling the moment when I felt his fingers tracing the side of my neck. And the next thing I knew, he already untied my hair.

"Hey! bakit mo tinanggal?" Umangat ako mula sa dibdib niya pero sinandal niya lang ulit ang ulo ko roon.

"Masyado mo nang ibinalandra ang leeg mo kanina. That's enough..." He swayed my body again. Nakita kong inilagay niya sa wrist niya ang panali ko ng buhok katabi ng relo niya. Hinayaan ko nalang din. It actually looks good on him.

"Mainit.." sabi ko pero iniba niya ang usapan.

"Why did you dye your hair?"

"Why? It doesn't suit me?" I once again faced him.
