Chapter 9: "She loves every little thing about him. The good and the bad."



Calem's relatives are friendly and humble, despite their well-known background. They are simple but incredibly beautiful people, both inside and out. Ang mga pinsan niya ang mga kasama namin sa paglilibot sa LA. It was my first time there, hence, I really had fun going around like a tourist.

"Cheers!"

I chuckled as I sipped from the glass of cosmopolitan that Candice, one of Calem's cousins, handed to me. Nasa isang kilalang bar kaming lahat. Bigla nalang nagyaya ang mga pinsan ni Calem. 

After drinking, she pulled me to the dance floor. Being a bit tipsy, I felt uninhibited and had no reservations about dancing. Ilang drinks na ang mga ipinasubok ni Candice sa akin. Nagyaya lang akong bumalik sa table namin ng may mga lumalapit na at nakikipagsayaw sa amin. Ayokong magalit si Calem.

Calem's forehead creased as his eyes went to me. "Your face is flushed," he said, touching my face.

I just smiled sheepishly and leaned my body against his. His arms automatically snaked around my waist and pulled me closer.

"Candice, why did you get my girl drunk?" baling niya sa pinsan.

"Sorry, kuya. I had no idea that she has low alcohol tolerance."

Pinalo ko siya ng mahina sa hita. "Lovey, I'm not drunk. Just tipsy."

He just rolled his eyes.

"Let's dance!" aya ng isang pinsan ni Calem.

Kaagad akong umayos ng upo. "I'm in!" I said, raising my hand.

Natawa sila sa akin.

"You are so drunk, Sam," said Cray, chuckling. Among them, He appears to be carefree and the most sociable.

I chuckled, shaking my head. "I can drink more."

Calem sighed and put my hand down. "You guys, go ahead."

Nakangusong bumaling ako sa kanya. "I want to dance, Lovey! Tara na, dance tayo!"

His cold eyes focused on me as he brought his lips close to my ear. "You can dance with me later. In bed."

Biglang nawala ang kalasingan ko sa narinig. Pero pakiramdam ko ay mas namula ang buong mukha ko. I swallowed hard and looked at him, meeting his cold gaze and smirk.

Hinampas ko siya ng mahina sa hita at isiniksik ang mukha sa leeg niya. "Lovey naman!"

This cold city guy may seem like a cold person, but he's definitely the hottest in bed! 

"Cale?"

My eyes widened as I recognized the person standing in front of our table. It was Lance Aguelas, a well-known actor in the Philippines. We've been introduced to each other before, but we're not close. Hanggang batian at ngitian lang kami kapag nagkakasalubong kami sa mga event.

"I knew it was you! Kamusta, bro?" aniya at kinamayan si Calem.

"I'm good." 

Sinubukan kong pasimpleng alisin ang braso ni Calem na nakapalupot sa beywang ko. Pero sa halip na pakawalan ay mas lalo pa niya akong hinapit palapit sa kanya. As Lance's eyes went down to Calem's arm around my waist, his mouth moved into a smirk.

"What's up, Sam?" nakangiting baling niya sa akin.

"Just chilling. And you?" I asked, giving him an awkward smile.
