Chapter Seventeen

"Isn't your dress too short?" Isaiah whispered to me.

Sa Orange Lily club ang venue ng party ni Andreas kaya kinailangain namin pumunta sa South side, It's the only side Isaiah can go through. And, we're already sitting at a big couch that Andreas reserved for us.

I glared at Isaiah. "Sino kayang may kasalanan?"

He accidentally ripped the first dress that I'm wearing so I needed to change. I'm wearing an oviyame long sleeve dress now and a beige platform heeled sandals. Nagulo din ang buhok ko dahil sa ginawa namin bago pumunta dito kaya tinali ko nalang ito ng high ponytail.

"I didn't know that that dress is so thin and got ripped quickly. I should've check the quality before buying it." Ani Isaiah habang nakangiti.

Inirapan ko nalang sya. Sayang naman kasi ang dress na iyon, isang beses ko lang nasuot.

"Are you still mad, baby?" He leaned closer to me and rested his face on my neck. "I promise I'll take off your dress properly next time we do it."

Napatingin ako ng marahas sakanya at napatingin sa paligid kung may nakarinig ba sa sinabi nya. Mabuti nalang at busy ang mga bisita ni Andreas sa kani-kanilang gawain. But it's obvious that some people can recognise me, but Isaiah also told me that it's a private mafia party so nobody can leak outside what they saw here.

Dumating ang waiter at nilapag ang order kong Daiquiri sa table namin. It's a mixture of light rum, simple syrup and lime juice. Isaiah ordered a whiskey.

"Thank you," I said to the waiter.

"You're welcome, ma'am." The younger guy smiled sweetly at me. He surely recognised me because he kept on staring at my face.

At, napansin ata iyon ni Isaiah kaya sumabat sya sa amin nung lalaki.

"May kailangan ka pa ba?" Tanong ni Isaiah sa waiter.

Ramdam ko ang inis sa tono nya pero hindi ata iyon naramdaman ng waiter na nasa harapan namin.

"Uh, pwede po bang magtanong, ma'am?" The boy excitedly asked me.

"What--" Magsasalita pa sana si Isaiah pero hinawakan ko ang braso nya para pigilan sya, dahil siguradong papagalitan nya lang itong lalaki.

"Don't get mad at him, I think he's new so he didn't recognise you. Hayaan mo na..." Bulong ko kay Isaiah habang ang kanang kamay ko ay hinahaplos ang braso nya, at ang kaliwang kamay ko naman ay nakapatong sa binti nya, enough lang para hindi ko mahawakan ang umbok nya.

"Yes, what is it?" I smiled at the waiter who look elated while waiting for me to talk to him.

"Kayo po ba si miss Meisie Ortega? Iyong sikat na singer?" Untas ng lalaki.

Napatingin ako kay Isaiah ng marinig syang bumuntonghininga, bahagya din syang umirap. I know he's irritated now.

"Yes, ako nga. Pero secret lang natin, huh." Nag-quiet sign ako doon sa waiter.

Excited syang tumango-tango. "Opo, opo, miss Meisie. Wow! Grabe first time ko pong makakita ng artista. Sobrang ganda nyo po sa personal tapos ang ganda talaga ng boses nyo--"
