Amber Alert (El Vicente Series #1) [COMPLETED]

Kabanata 4

"Hi, baby girl."

I jumped when I heard it behind me. Automatikong nasamid ako habang umiinom ng panghuli na sanang alak ko dahil kanina ko na binalak na aalis na ako.

I looked at him. He was sitting beside me. The high chair beside me. I panicked a bit but I didn't let him know.

Apat na butones na ang bukas na bukas sa damit niya. His black ripped jeans are spreading widely along his firmed and manly legs.

I tilted my head and looked at him. "Congrats. You all played well tonight."

Tumango siya, tila alam ang sinasabi ko at hindi na bago ang puri kong iyon. Magulo ang buhok niya at may butil ng pawis doon dahil sa dire diretsong kanta nila kanina.

Inabutan siya ng whiskey ng bartender. The glass of whiskey was eaten by his manly and veined hand. He shook it a bit while he was staring at it. Patagilid na nakasandal sa counter.

"It's my third time seeing you on my gigs..." puna niya.

Oh, he notices me?

Ngumuso ako. "Ayaw mo?"

He smirked. "You don't look like a fan, though."

I shrugged. "I am.."

I mean, not an avid fan, though.

His silver chain necklace is blinking through the lights and even his piercing. Lumingon ako sa gilid para may patunayan. And I was right. Girls are looking at him. At us.

"Talaga..."

Tumango ako. "I guess I'm a new fan."

"Is this still about your curiosity?"

Pinadaan ko ang dila sa labi ko at pinagkrus ang paang tinungo ang direksyon niya. Ngayon ay magkaharap na kami at halos magbunggo na ang parehong mga paa namin.

"I told you, I like you."

"It was just a maybe, you said."

"Then, I'm confirming it now. I like you, Hunter."

Tila hinila ng sinabi ko ang sulok ng labi niya at gumawa iyon ng maliit na ngisi. He sipped on his drink before looking at me.

Amusement. The first emotion I saw in his eyes.

He tilted his head. "I see you know my name now?"

Iniwasan kong umirap. Imbis ay inubos ko ang pang huli ko sanang baso ng Margarita. He was looking at me as I grimaced because of the unpleasant taste of it.

He chuckled. "How old are you? 16?"

"Hey, I'm not a minor."

"Don't drink if you can't. Where's your boyfriend?"

Umiling ako habang pinupunasan ang gilid ng labi ko. "I'm single."

"Then, where's your hot friend?"

Nilingon ko siya. "I'm alone."

Tumaas ang kilay niya at hindi kaagad nagsalita.

I laughed when I remembered something. "I think I just confessed that I like you. Did you just reject me?"

He licked his lips and stared at me. "I don't like rejection. Do you?"

I rolled my eyes. "You don't believe me?"

He shrugged and sipped on his drink. Ngayon ko lang napagtuonan ng pansin ang amoy niya. He smells good. He smells like a mixture of clean shaved, mint, and vanilla.
