Charmaine's POV
"Thank you for being my date tonight, lovely lady in black" Troy said after walking me in our gate.
Siya ang naghatid sa akin dito sa bahay matapos ang event.
"Thank you for driving me home" mahinhin na sabi ko.
I feel so happy. I know I shouldn't, but I feel it. Every moment with him feels so special.
We're smiling like an idiot. I don't know what to say, but I don't want to end this moment. I love being with him. I love feeling him close. I'm crazily in love with this wonderful man.
"You look so beautiful in that black gown" he said with his playful tone
"Should I wear black everyday so that I'll look beautiful every time?" I asked in an amazed tone.
He showed me his loopside smile. "Nah, you'll look beautiful even in a rug" he teased
I blushed. God! Alam ko naman na nambobola lamang siya pero kinikilig ako!
Muntikan pa akong mapatalon nang may tumikhim.
"I believe that's my girlfriend you are flirting with" Jayden said in an irritated voice. He stepped closer and wrapped his arm around my waist. He pulled me closer to his body. I felt uncomfortable. I don't like being close to him, specially with Troy around.
Napakagat ako sa ibabang labi ko at tumingin kay Troy. Napataas siya ng isang kilay at matalim na tinignan ang kamay ni Jayden sa bewang ko.
"Jay" I gently push Jayden away.
Napahiwalay naman siya sa akin at tumingin sa akin nang matalim.
"I've been calling you. Hindi ka sumasagot. Nag-aalala ako sa'yo, Maine, kasi kanina pa nakauwi sila Tito pero ikaw ay wala pa" may panunumbat na sabi niya
Napayuko naman ako. "S-Sorry, hindi ko napansin" tinignan ko si Troy sa gilid ng mata ko. Nakahalukipkip lamang siya. "Nagku-kwentuhan kasi kami nila Erica. Nalibang lang ako kaya hindi ko namalayan ang oras"
"Saka ihahatid ko naman siya kaya walang problema" cool na sabi ni Troy
"Hindi ikaw ang kinakausap ko!" bulyaw ni Jayden.
Agad na hinawakan ko ang isang braso niya.
"Jayden, 'wag kang gumawa ng gulo" nagpapanik na sabi ko. "Troy, please umalis ka na" nakikiusap na sabi ko.
Alam ko ang kalibre ni Troy sa mga away. Wala pa akong away na narinig na tinalikuran ni Troy.
"I can't leave you alone with a furious jealous boyfriend, Maine" sagot niya at sumandal sa kotse niya
"Please, Troy" nagmamakaawang sabi ko.
Tumaas ang isang kilay niya. Nagulat ako nang bigla siyang lumapit at humalik sa pisngi ko.
"Have a good night sleep, my beautiful lady in black. I'll dream of you tonight" he playfully said before walking towards the driver's side and wink at me before getting into his car and speed off.
"Why are you blushing?!" galit na sigaw sa akin ni Jayden
Maang na napatingin ako sa kanya. Halos nakalimutan ko na nandito siya dahil sa ginawa ni Troy.
