Surrendering Dreams (Amor Series#1)

Kabanata 50

Greyson's

I frustratingly removed my eyeglasses. There's too much work again in the office. The unfinished building in Makati collapsed and it is still under the contract, therefore the company is affiliated with that construction firm.

I was supposed to pass this to my uncle because I would be very busy, I just got accepted in Ateneo Law School.

I reviewed the contract and I saw something wrong and it is voidable, so I passed it to the legal heads. It was a stressful day today.

My phone rang and I answered it immediately. It was Liam.

"Bro, I was invited to a party later. You should come." He said. I sighed. I never liked parties. I hated the fact that the people who party a lot seem to be carefree. I have less time in my hands, why would I waste it partying?

It's not that I'm judging the people who party a lot, but I wasn't that kind of person. I just hated that they were all so carefree and chill.

"No, I'm busy." I said.

"Come on, bro. This is the last time you'll party. Mabubulok ka sa law school." He insisted.

Then, I realized that I am now enrolled in a law school. This would probably be my last time drinking because I'd be very busy. Besides, I was really too stressed because of the problems that the company is facing, I think I deserve this.

I sighed, "fine," I agreed. Masyadong mapilit si Liam, ayoko na rin makipagtalo.

I arrived late because I still have to do paperworks and I still need to transfer things to my condo.

I saw Liam talking to someone not-so far away from me. The party was full of different people and I felt that I didn't really belong. The party, the loud music, the booze and the wild people here, I really do not belong here.

I was about to go there when someone blocked the way. There were two people making out and I was obviously pissed, they should get a room or something. This is what I really hated when it comes to parties.

"Excuse me." I said. They both stopped. The woman gazed at me, observing me or just judging me by my looks. I admit, I never was the stylish one. I never cared about my looks, but the way she looked at me, I got conscious.

I swallowed hard before walking away. Why do I feel this way? I never really cared about what I look and what other people think of me.

She was later on introduced to me by Liam. I averted my gaze and looked away. I pretended, I didn't hear it or was I interested. It was really awkward. She was looking at me and I was really bothered by it.

"Tanya, ingatan mo 'yang pinsan ko. Be good, he's still a virgin." Liam joked. He later on laughed. I just want to bury myself six feet deep as of this moment.
