Chapter Fifteen
Lips

It was around ten nang makarating si Kade sa bahay para sunduin ako sa bahay. Ipinaalam ko kay Grant na papunta na kami sa party dahil iyon ang bilin niya sa akin. It wasn't my job to tell him about it, hindi naman kami pero ayaw ko naman na sumugod siya sa party dahil lang hindi ko sinunod ang gusto niya. Knowing Grant, alam kong gagawin niya talaga iyon.

I want tonight to be about me. Ayaw kong mag-isip ng tungkol sa kahit ano. I don't want to think about my studies, my upcoming training, and I especially don't want to think about the De la Fuente. This night is mine and I have no space for unwanted thoughts.

"Gusto mo bang kumain muna somewhere?" tanong ni Kade.

I turned my head to look at Kade. He's wearing a dark blue polo shirt, pairing it with black jeans and black vans. It was a simple get up but his face shouts anything but simple. Kade is hot. He's my friend, so I'm therefore immune.

"I already ate. Unless you want to, that's fine with me." simpleng sagot ko.

"Nah, I'm full. So, deretso na tayo doon?" 

Nagkibit balikat ako. "How about your friends?"

Hindi lang naman ako ang kaibigan ni Kade. Marami pa siyang kaibigan bukod sa akin na naging kaibigan na niya for a long time. Nakasama ko na rin sila dati at hanggang ngayon, pero hindi ko sila matuturing na kaibigan ko na rin. There's nothing wrong with them. I guess I'm just really not into making new friends. 

"We'll meet them there." siguro ay napangiwi ako nang hindi ko namamalayan dahil tinawanan ako agad ni Kade. "Don't worry, Maxie. We won't be hanging around them too much. I'm pretty sure we'll be busy doing our own things."

Napairap ako sa kanya. "You mean you'll be doing your own thing?"

Alam ko ang balak ngayon ni Kade. It's always his mission to find pretty girls and flirt them into submission. He's trying to be subtle about it whenever he's with me but I'm just a very keen observer.

"And you'll do your own, tonight is all about having fun, remember?" Kade brightly grinned at me and I ended up shaking my head with a smile on my face.

Marami ng tao nang makarating kami sa lugar kung saan pagaganapan ng party. It's held in a big mansion. Sa laki pa lang ng bahay ay halata na mayaman ang host ng party. Marami ng sasakyan na nakaparada sa labas ng mansion kaya napalayo ang sasakyan ni Kade. 

"Shall we party?" inabot ni Kade ang kamay niya sa akin habang nakataas ang kanyang isang kilay. Nginisian ko siya at tumango bago inabot ang kamay ko.

"We shall." 

Hinatak na ako ni Kade patungo sa loob ng mansion. There were people everywhere. Minsan ay humihinto si Kade dahil may bumabati sa kanyang mga kakilala niya. I always end up rolling my eyes then busying myself by taking in the whole place.
