Unwritten (Summer Of Taking Chances Sequel)

Arwen ❤ Diana

37
PRIS

After everyone enjoyed the sumptuous meal, nagsimulang tumugtog ang Philharmonic Orchestra to encourage everyone to dance. A wealthy business man dressed as Captain Kirk asked Pris' mother to dance. Devon also took Kristine to the dance floor.

"May I have this dance?" Daniel asked Pris, who was drinking her 4th glass of champagne.

Napangiti si Pris. Ang gwapo nito sa costume. Si Daniel ang tumulong sa kanya para makapagpagawa ng dress to replicate Wonder Woman's evening gown from the movie. Since she decided to be Diana, Daniel chose to be her Steve Trevor. Sinong mag-aakala na ang lalaking pinagseselosan nya noon ay magiging malapit nyang kaibigan? Nagkakaintindihan sila nito sa mga frustrations nila sa buhay. Sabi nga nito, they had a connection because they both belonged to the rainbow community.

"You may." Pris took Daniel's hand and walked towards the dance floor. "You are a graceful dancer."

"I'm a man...no wait. I'm a gay of many talents," mahinang sabi nito saka sila tumawa. Ngunit nawala ang ngiti ni Pris nang masulyapan nya ang nag-uusap na sina Dominique at Vincent sa table nila. Hindi nya mapigilang magselos at ma-insecure. "What's with that look?" Daniel's voice was amused.

"What?" Baling nya rito. Tinaasan sya nito ng kilay. "I'm just trying to bring out the Wonder Woman in me." Pagdadahilan nya.

Daniel laughed softly. "Diana Prince looked fierce not grumpy." He rolled his eyes. She scowled at him. "Don't worry, ikaw naman ang mahal nya, girl."

Napatitig si Pris rito. "I know. Pero hindi ko pa rin mapigilang ma-insecure. He's a pretty decent guy. He's someone suited for Dominique. She could have a normal life." Ni hindi nya ito maisayaw sa harap ng mga tao.

"So, pina-background check nyo na rin sya just like what you did to me?" Daniel commented and rolled his eyes. Pris smiled sheepishly. Pina-background check kasi ito ni Kristine when Dominique started dating him kaya nalaman nilang fake boyfriend lang ito. "So what, if he's decent? Dominique loves you, not him. Don't tell me ngayon ka pa pinanghihinaan ng loob kung kelan kayo na ulit?" Pris didn't answer. "Just be patient. Darating din ang araw na makikita nyang kayo ang para sa isa't-isa. Huwag kang matakot. Kapit ka lang, girl. Mahal na mahal ka nyan. Maniwala ka sa pagmamahalan nyo. Ano ba yan, ang seryoso ng mga sinasabi ko. Ikaw kasi." Natawa sya. "Pakasalan mo na kasi."

"Kung pwede ko lang syang pikutin," Pris said laughing but stopped when Devon approached and asked Pris to dance with him this time. Daniel stepped back and left them.

"Ano tong narinig kong balak mong pikutin ang kapatid ko?" Devon's Lee Min Ho look a like face was serious. Pris smiled shyly. "I'll help you. What's the plan?" He asked grinning from ear to ear before she could retort. They both laughed. Masaya si Pris na hindi hadlang ang pamilya ni Dominique sa relasyon nila. "On a serious note, I would like to thank you for what you and your friends did for our company. Malaki ang utang na loob namin sa inyo."

"You don't have to thank me, Devon. It's a good opportunity for us too. Another investment for us," Pris said.

"We both know that's not true." Devon said kindly. "Kahit wala ako nung kinausap nyo ang Papa, alam kong ginawa mo yun para sa kapatid ko."

"Masasaktan si Dominique kapag maraming nawalan ng trabaho. Her happiness is my happiness." Napatingin si Pris sa gawi ni Dominique na noo'y sumasayaw na rin kasama ni Vincent. Nag-uusap ang mga ito habang sumasabay sa saliw ng musika. Pris was secretly elated because Dominique's eyes looked bored.

"Ipangako mong mamahalin mo ang kapatid ko at huwag sasaktan," Devon said.

"I promised." Pris looked at him intently in the eye. She wanted to make him feel she's serious.
