CLINTON
It was supposed to be a peck. Should've been.
But damn, her lips were just too soft that I almost bit it if I didn't hear the clapping of the guests.
"You look screwed over, Williams." Stanley Moore, told me as soon as I walked over their table.
"Were you just drunk or you really wanted do more than kissing your bride right in front of the altar?" Philip Michaelson added.
"Shut your traps." I told them and sat on the empty chair.
All the guys seated around this table, Royalties and Fair Youths, are the friends I made from the Annual Noble Summer Camps. Who, either arrived in the middle of my bachelor party or barely made it last night.
"Nah. It looked more like he wanted to kiss her like that. Nakainom o hindi." Sabi naman ni Elliot na Fair Youth sa Great Opal. "Can't blame you, Victoria Sparks is a treat to the eye."
Tiningnan ko naman si Elliot at nakita kong umiinom s'ya ng naka-serve na champagne. Hanggang sa nabilaukan s'ya.
"Sinasabi ko lang na maganda eh!" Parang nangangatwiran na sabi bigla ni Elliot.
"Wala akong sinasabi." Sabi ko sa kan'ya pero tumawa sina Stanley.
"Wala nga pero hindi mo nakita kung paano mo tiningnan si Elliot." Natatawang sabi ni Philip.
Papatulan ko na nga sana kaso may kumalabit sa akin at paglingon ko, si Ray na binulong na magc-cake cutting na. Kaya naman tumayo na ako at pinuntahan si Tori na nasa table ng mga kaibigan n'ya.
"Did you hear what she said? She referred to me as 'this' instead of him or my name." I mumbled at Vicky, the cat, as if Tori's not standing more than a meter away from me.
I kept on talking to the cat while glancing at Tori from time to time. She looks...cute. Apart from she seems like she doesn't know what to react to what I just said.
Hopefully, she'll agree. Because, that was me, saying that I like her.
She's too adorable and pure. That sometimes I just want to hug her tight and pepper her face with kisses. Especially when she's asleep.
Living with her and sleeping in the same room as her, I've come to noticed a few things that I didn't see before. Things like, she really goes to bed early. Not later than 12 midnight.
Nung una akala ko iniiwasan lang n'ya na sabay kaming mahiga sa kama pero mukhang sanay talaga s'yang maaga matulog. Sa dami ng events na napuntahan namin, kapag lumalagpas na ng 11 PM, nagiging tahimik lalo si Tori. Nagpipigil na ng antok.
"Alright."
I was still trying to act like I was offended by being referred as 'this' when she said that. And I haven't even said anything before she diverted all her attention back to her notebook.
Which reminded me of one of her drawings. And I wanted to ask her about how she got that good but I'm more curious about that one drawing. The one on the page next to where she was drawing Vicky.
But before I can even ask, she began tearing pages from her notebook.
Napakunot yung noo ko sa dami ng drawings n'ya ng kung sino man yung lalaking 'yon kaya hindi ko na talaga nagawang pigilan yung sarili ko na tanungin kung sino 'yon. At sa paraan ng pagsagot n'ya sa tanong ko, I just knew she meant what she said.
"Akala mo joke lang nang sinabi ni Henry na ikaw matatalo sa pustahan n'yo ano?" Tanong ni Gian sa akin kaya tiningnan ko na lang s'ya nang masama.
