Chapter Nine

"OH my god! Andito sina Seline!" Maya-maya pa'y sigaw ni Elisse.

"Sinong Seline?"

She smiled widely. "Yung mga kaibigan ko!"

I noticed Ivy walking towards us so I eyed Elisse who's now still looking at the group of ladies. "Puntahan mo muna!"

She looked at me "Okay lang?"

I nodded hurrily "Oo, papunta na naman si Ivy oh?" Then I pointed Ivy.

"Sige ganito nalang, magkita nalang tayo after party sa sasakyan namin ha? Kung sinong mauuna dun, hihintayin ang isa. Okay?"

"Sige Elisse!"

I turned my attention on Ivy after Elisse left our table. I smiled at her. "Happy birthday ulit."

She plastered a wide smile on her lips then suddenly grabbed my hand. "Halika, papakilala kita sa mga kaibigan ko!"

Nagpatianod nalang ako sa paghila nya sakin. Nang mapunta kami sa isa pang kumpulan ng mga tao ay naaninag ng mga mata ko ang tatlong babae at apat na lalaki. They are all dashing and elegant, and obviously, rich.

"Ivy!" Agad syang yinakap ng mga ito.

"By the way guys, I want you to meet my friend, Amethyst Yumy Martin"

They all offer a hand shake and I took it all lightly. The party is still on, loud music filled the whole hotel.

"Hindi mo sinabing may maganda ka palang kaibigan" The man in dark blue longsleeve interrupted. I forgot his name.

My face again heated at that compliments, I suddenly felt shy. Sa tinagal-tagal na panahon na palaging may pumupuri sakin, hanggang ngayon nahihiya parin ako.

"You didn't asked, duh." Ivy hissed.

"What are you taking up?" Jheyn asked.

"U-h, nursing."

"Nice, if you became my wife I will be the luckiest man on earth" the man who complimented me earlier giggled.

"Hoy! Wag kang assuming!" The other man growl at him.

Meanwhile, someone called Ivy so I'm starting to feel uncertain.

"Dito ka muna ha? Pupuntahan ko lang saglit."

Nervousity started to grow upon me as Ivy left me in this group, they're actually nice but I'm bit nervous because of this man infront me smiling at me the whole time.

"Can I have your number, Amethyst?" He then requested while massaging his jaw slowly.

"Uh-" my mouth stopped from what I suppose to say when I felt a hand encircled my waist. I quickly glanced at the owner of this hand and in my shock, it's Zac.

"Let me excuse my girlfriend." My lips had parted at what he suddenly told the group.

I saw how the man infront of me looked uneasy. "Oh, I'm sorry dude. I thought she's single."

"Well, now you know." He hardly said and then walked away with me, his hand are still on my waist and it brings tingling sensation on me.

But my system seemed stop functioning. Hindi ko parin masyadong maproseso ang sinabi nya sa grupo. Ni hindi ko nga lubos marinig ang malakas na tunog ng musika, hindi ko lubos maintindihan kung ano itong naririnig ko. It's like I heard the loud beats of my heart, it's like any minute now it will explode inside my ribcage.

Why is it? Is it because at what he said or it's because on his hand on my waist. Oh I don't know but there's one thing I noticed on myself now that somehow, I want to deny.

Zac can affect me, where did all started? Oh my god, please heart stop beating fast!

Hindi ko namalayang nakalabas na pala kami ng hotel dahil sa pag-iisip ko sa nararamdaman ko. Nang bitawan nya ang beywang ko ay bigla nalang akong nakaramdam ng inis.

"Anong sinabi mo? Girlfriend mo ako? Hibang ka na ba?!" I growled.

His jaw clenched and it catch my attention again. He looks so manly at his black tuxedo with white longsleeve inside it and a tie paired with dark slacks with his hair in a kind of mess but attractive and fitted perfectly on his masculinity.

"I saw how you are so awkward on that group so I find a way." He explained.

"Kahit na! Hindi mo dapat sinabi yun!"

His jaw dropped and his soft expression earlier become dark and serious, my heartbeat raised again.

"Gusto mo palang isipin nila na wala kang boyfriend." He concluded.

Umiling ako. "Hindi naman sa ganun!"

"If I didn't came, will you give your number to him?"

I looked away, what's wrong with him?

"Silence means yes, so yeah, nakadisturbo lang pala ako." Bigla syang yumuko pagkatapos ay inangat ang ulo at hinimas ang kanyang ilong na para bang ang laki ng problema nya.

"Look, wala akong planong ibigay sa kanya ang number ko. Wala akong panahong makipagtextmate sa kung sinuman." I specified. "Okay na?"

I stiffened when he suddenly grabbed my arms and hugged me tightly. He massage my hair and his touch sent shivers from my hair all through my spine.

"More than okay."

I lost my words, I don't know what's with him and I always lost my words. Napamaang nalang ako nang bigla nyang hinubad ang tuxedo nya at isinukbit iyon sa likuran ko.

"I know how sexy and gorgeous you are tonight but I can't let your back expose too much." my jaw dropped at his sentence. "Ang raming naglalaway sa likod mo."

After that, we went back to hotel together. Medyo nahihiya pa ako dahil maraming mga mata ang nagtatagal sa amin ang tingin lalo na sa akin. I didn't know that he is famous. Kaagaw-agaw pansin ang kanyang tuxedo na narito parin sa likuran ko.

"Zac, kunin mo nalang kaya tong tuxedo." mahinang bigkas ko.

"No." He remarked.

Pagkatapos ng ilang minuto ay nagpaalam narin ako kay Ivy para umuwi na, Zac never left my side which made me uneasy but secured. Pupuwede pala iyon? Na makaramdam ng pagkailang pero at the same time, pakiramdam ko ligtas ako. Iyan kasi ang nararamdaman ko sa mga sandaling hindi umalis si Zac sa tabi ko.

He remained silent so as mine, ipinagpasalamat ko nalang na nakita ko na si Elisse at sabay kaming lumabas roon. And to my horror, sinamahan nya pa kaming lumabas. Pagkatapos ay isinuli ko sa kanya ang tuxedo, gusto ko pa sanang labhan muna but he insisted.

But really? Gusto ko nga lang ba talagang labhan iyon?

I'm still wide awake and glancing at the ceiling, I can't sleep damn. Pakiramdam ko narito parin ang amoy nya sa likuran ko, pakiramdam ko andito parin ang kamay nya sa beywang ko. Pakiramdam ko andito parin ang mga haplos nya nung yinakap nya ako.

The magical foreign feelings earlier was still there. At natatakot ako sa nangyayari sa akin, hindi ko inakalang aabot sa punto na magiging ganito ang epekto sa akin ni Zac. Buong akala ko puro lang kami away at bangayan, bakit ngayon tila iba na.

Oh shit, I'm frightened. Damn frightened.
