Color Of Surrender (High Class Issue Series #3)

Chapter 03

Chapter 03: Cheeky

Do you believe in luck? Do you believe in love at first sight?

Damn! I don't know anymore but deep inside my body, I want to scream and jump all of a sudden because of what Captain Archi said. It's like his voice is echoing inside of me the reason why I can't help but close my fist to resist this feeling, gosh!

"Yeah, I remember you. You're the model who locked eyes with me last month on the fashion show...Avonlea Czanelle, right?" 

Putangina, naalala niya ako!

I pressed my lips and trying to handle myself, Captain Archi tilted his head again and brushed his hair the reason why I saw how sharp and defined his jawline is. Damn! All of a sudden, I want to take him home but I know I have to control myself. Be a woman with class.

Tumikhim naman ako at pilit na pinagana ang diwa ko na ngayon ay nasa harapan ko na ang lalaking tinitingnan ko lang sa litrato ng isang buwan, alam mo yung pakiramdam na parang nanalo ka sa lotto tapos ito pa ang premyo?

Favorite ate ako ni God, thank you!

"Y-You remembered me." I felt my cheeks are steaming the reason why I looked away, this man who saved me in the crowd is also the man I'm waiting for. This is unexpected, and I think I fell already when I met him again in person.

Gosh! I have a crush on you so please notice me, Captain.

Natandaan niya rin na sa fashion show kami nag-tama ng tama, kahit isang buwan na ang nakakalipas at kahit saglitan lang naman ang tinginan namin ay naalala niya pa rin. Hindi ko ba alam kung kikiligin ako pero iyon na nga ang nararamdaman ko sa loob ko.

"Yeah, akala ko nga sa una ikaw si Pauline...pero hindi pala." sa sunod na sinabi niya ay parang bumaba ang kilig na naramdaman ko, anong sinasabi niyang akala niya ako si Pauline?

"W-What?" I stuttered and shifted my eyes into him. When I locked eyes on him, I felt my heart racing and my stomach tickles the reason why I gulped again. I never felt this to anyone like Cade, he's just a friend and this feeling is unnatural.

He chuckled that made me fell in love, kung may titigil man ng ganap na ito ay sana wala naman dahil gusto ko lang talaga na maka-usap siya. Hindi ko ba alam pero yung pakiramdam na nakita mo na yung tinititigan mo sa picture ng isang buwan e' nandito na ngayon sa harap ko.

Maybe, I like him. I like him when our eyes locked with each other.

"My mom said that her favorite model is Pauline, and I have no idea which one of the models is Pauline...I thought the last one who walked in the runway is Pauline but it's Avonlea," he explained the reason why I controlled myself not to smile, he said my name again and it's like music on my ear.

"Well, Pauline is the first one who walked in the runway...and I was the last," paalala ko sa kanya na dahilan para lumabas nanaman ang ngisi kasama ang dimple niya. Hindi ko ba alam pero ang gabing ito ay nasama nanaman sa pinaka-masayang pangyayare sa buhay ko.

"Yeah, you made the crowd wild with your walk...you're good," 

Fuck! How can he say that in? I just can't keep my eyes off of him, he's way more than a picture. I don't know anymore but the feelings are mixed up, parang nagsama-sama silang lahat na dahilan para maging maligalig ako.

"Avonlea, why are you still here?" 

Naputol ang masayang pag-uusap namin ng biglang may tumawag sa pangalan ko, napunta ang tingin ko sa taong nag-salita nun at halos ayusin ko ang tindig ko ng makitang si mama pala ang tumawag sa akin.
