"Nilalamig ka?" malambing na tanong niya.
"I'm good."
Later on, they served our dinner. Tahimik kong inubos ang nasa plato ko. Dash even helped me cut the steak.
Why would I complicate things if my life's already stable with Dashiell?
"I'm so excited!" Caylee told us the moment we were asked to go to the other function room para sa pagsisimula ng mismong event.
Pagkatapos kaming abutan ng kanya-kanyang auction paddle ay tumayo na kami malapit sa stage. There are no chairs here. Talagang lahat ay tatayo lang at iaangat ang paddle for bidding.
"Ibulong mo sa'kin kapag may napili ka na ha," Dash mumbled.
I smiled and nodded. Habang hindi pa nagsisimula ay tumingin ako sa paligid. My eyes stopped when I noticed Damian staring at me. Umiwas agad ako ng tingin at tinuon ang pansin sa host na nagre-ready na magsalita.
"Let the bidding begin!" Senyor shouted. "A votre santé!"
"A votre santé!" sagot ng lahat.
Maingay sa buong room nang magsimula na ang auction. Everyone's in a good mood right now. Talagang nagpapaligsahan ang lahat upang makuha ang mga items.
When the third item was introduced, my eyes widened at the sight of it. Sobrang ganda nito at talagang namangha ako. I gasped when the lights hit the diamond.
"Our third item for tonight is Heart shaped diamond necklace measuring 23 Carats."
"You want it?" Dash asked me.
Ngumisi ako at tumango. "Yeah..."
"Ten thousand pesos!" He immediately shouted. Tumingin sa amin ang mga tao kaya naman namula agad ang pisngi ko.
There were a complete silence after that. Mukhang walang gustong lumaban sa kanya.
"Twenty!" sigaw ni Damian. I looked at him and frowned.
What is he doing? Pang babae ang necklace na iyon. Bakit niya kailangang bilhin iyon?
Ngumisi siya sa akin kaya nanigas ako sa kinatatayuan ko.
Wait, is he doing this for me? Is this what he meant when he said he'll fight for me?
Talagang ipapakita na niya ngayon na gusto niya akong makuha.
"Twenty five!" hamon ni Dash.
"Thirty five thousand pesos!" Damian insisted.
Dashiell stared at his brother before he looked at me. Hindi ko alam kung anong tumatakbo sa isipan niya pero bigla na lang niya ibinaba ang paddle.
"Thirty five thousand pesos! Going once, going twice---SOLD TO MR. DAMIAN LEWIS!"
Nagpalakpakan ang mga tao at naghiyawan pa ang mga kaibigan ni Damian. Titig na titig naman ako kay Dash dahil hindi niya ugaling magpatalo.
