Goodbye Lullaby (COMPLETED)

Chapter 15

Be careful what you wish for
Desires can mislead you
It's more that just a feeling
Love is a decision

January is just 31 days, but it felt fucking forever. At the end of the second week of the month, we finished recording all the songs for our debut album. It has twelve songs and we're still gonna have a photoshoot for the cover.

Bukod din kasi sa mismong album ay magkakaroon din ng photobook. Like an introduction of our members and as band too. Buti na lang we know how to model.

"Fuck! This calls for celebration!" Valen said as we gathered up for a damn group hug.

Kaya naman sa bar agad ang bagsak namin matapos umuwi at magbihis. I was wearing a red fitted satin halter dress and a silver strappy heels. I curled my hair and wore a fierce make up for my upturned eyes and plump lips.

Si Eros ang sumundo sa akin pero nang dumating siya ay 'di pa ako tapos mag-ayos. He rested in my bed while I do my thing. Wala naman sigurong kaso sa kanya ang maghintay. Pakiramdam ko ay nasanay na rin sila sa tagal kong mag-ayos. Si Justin lang talaga ang mainipin!

Eros was playing something on his phone to kill time. He even put me on his IG stories! In the video, nakaharap ako sa salamin at sa repleksyon, kitang kita siyang nakahiga sa kama ko sa likod. I was bending a bit forward and was applying red lipstick. My slim figure was showcased in the video and I even looked at his reflection when he mumbled a soft damn. I smirked when I saw his phone focused at me and that's where it ended.

Of course, binatikos agad iyon ng mga fans namin. They screen recorded the video and put it on other social media platforms to make a big deal out of it. I don't really get the point, but if that's what's making them happy, bahala sila.

Well, Eros and I's relationship is still unlabeled. Kahit wala pa ay alam ko namang okay lang kina Justin at Valen. And then there's our fans who I think are supportive of the two of us. Hindi pa nga confirmed na kami ni Eros, pinangunahan na nila.

"Stay where I can see you," Eros whispered in my ears.

Ilang oras na kaming nasa bar. Nakailang balik na rin sina Justin sa couch namin matapos magsayaw sa dancefloor. Ako nama'y nakihalubilo sa ilang mga kakilala. Si Eros ay nanatili lang sa couch para panoorin ako.

"You don't wanna dance?" I asked him. Nag-iinuman kaming apat sa table namin nang maengganyo akong sumayaw.

He bit his lower lip before shaking his head. "I'm a little tired, Psyche. But I'll watch over you."

Ngumuso ako at lumipat ang tingin sa dalawang kasama namin. Justin's hella drunk now. Pinagtitripan na siya ng walanghiyang Valen at pumapatol naman si gago.

Nang ibalik ko ang tingin kay Eros ay nakatitig ito sa labi ko. Ang kamay niyang nasa bewang ko ay gumuguhit na ng kung ano ano. I seductively bit my lower lip and that's when he looked up in my eyes and glared at me. He also pinched my waist but it didn't hurt naman. Natawa pa nga ako.

"You still wanna dance?"

Hmm. Hinawi niya ang buhok kong humaharang sa mukha at nilagay iyon sa likod ng aking tainga. He looked intently at me as I thought. Isasama ko sana si Justin sa dancefloor kaya lang ay lasing na ito. Hindi ko rin naman pwedeng dalhin si Valen dahil mawawalan ng kasama si Eros. So I just thought of dancing alone.

Tumango rin siya nang tumango ako.

"Okay," he pulled me close and started kissing my ear and neck. Akala ko papaalisin niya ako agad pero nilaliman niya pa ang halik. I gasped and held on to his thigh when I felt his tongue on my neck.
