Capture thy Silence|Storm Black (A.U #1)

Chapter 22

Daphne Avreah Airenval

It's finally the School Carnival. I wore a Lavender Summer Knit and white slacks. Somehow, it's sunny and a but steamy but the wind is cold. Just the perfect weather for the event. Paglabas ko ng bahay, I saw Storm leaning on his black car's door. His hands on his pockets as he was looking at his phone, nakakunot ang noo niya.

When he saw me, his face lights up and put his phone on his pockets and walk towards me.

"Hi" I greeted. He greeted me with a gentle kiss on my cheeks. Nakatali ang buhok ko and left some strands of hair on my face.

"Can we stop at the cafe? I'll just buy some coffee" I said habang nagda-drige siya. Tumingin siya sa akin. "Ok" he answered.

He stopped the car when we arrived at the cafe. Agad akong lumabas but I was shocked when he also went out of his car. I thought he's just going to wait for me.

"A cup of cappuccino please" I said saka binalingan si Storm na nasa gilid ko lang.

"Do you want something?" I asked. Umiling lang siya. When my coffee was served, agad ko iyong kinuha at tumalikod na para lumabas. The guys inside the cafe were looking at me at agad ding napatingin sa bewang ko. I also looked at the man beside me when he suddenly put his hand around my waist at marahan akong hinapit palapit pa sa kanya. Masungit ang mukha nitong tiningnan ang mga lalaking nakatingin sa akin kaya napaiwas sila ng tingin.

I just smiled at that. He only removed his hand when we went inside the car and drove away.

"Uhm...Storm?" I called him, hesitating to say what I want to say or not.

"What?" He asked, not looking at me. He's busy driving. I licked my lip. Napatingin siya sa akin, waiting for what I was about to say. I just smiled and shook my head.

"Nothing" I said. Bahagyang kumunot ang noo niya pero hindi na din nagsalita pa.

I want to tell him about our dance. I think I have to. But maybe later.

Ng makarating kami sa University ay nakita ko ang napakagandang nga disenyo sa bawat parte ng campus. The canopy was covered with designs too. There are already many people, at nakita ko din ang pagkatigil ng mga babae ng makita ang sasakyan ni Storm. They recognized his car. He went out of his car first and I am hesitating to go out or not. Lalo na at nakita ko kung paano sila pagtipon. When they saw him, I heard their screams and giggles. Heavily tinted ang sasakyan niya kaya kampante akong hindi nila ako makikita. I almost fell out of the car kahit na may seatbelt pa ako ng biglang bumukas ang pintuang ng front seat pero mabuti na lang at napakapit ako sa upuan.

Yumuko siya ng makita niya akong umiiwas ng tingin at pilit itinatago ang sarli. I saw some girls na tinitingnan kung sino ang nasa loob ng sasakyan niya and I'm certain that some already saw me. I heard Storm chuckled as he went closer to me. Nasa loob na ng sasakyan ang kalahati ng katawan niya as he crouched and unfastened my seatbelt kaya napasandal ako sa upuan.

"Let's go, Avreah" he said to me ng makalabas na ang kalahati ng katawan niya. I pursed my lips hard before going out of the car, eyes on the floor na nakatago sa likod niya. I heard the gasps from the girls around us when Storm intertwined our hands saka naglakad. Nakayuko lang ako dahil sa hiya. Who wouldn't be? Lahat ng madadaanan namin ay napapatingin sa amin na nakaawang ang nga bibig, especially girls.

"Your head would hurt if you keep on doing that" he told me kaya napaangat ako ng tingin. Tiningnan ko siya ng may pagtataka. He just smiled saka naglakad muli. I even heard the shock and amazement of everyone around us when they saw him smiled.
