Pinakatitigan ko siya, Even though I was struggling with many people I followed her. Some of my friends intend to talk to me but.. nasa isang tao lang ang buong atensyon ko.
I almost run! Para lang maabutan siya. Her sexy shoulder and girly posture will be caught by my attention. Sa paraan ng paghakbang niya ay minamarkahan niya ang lupa.
I watched her sit in a couch where Chave my friend was. Ngumiti ako bago hawiin ang aking buhok. I gulped, I swallowed the nervous I felt. In my whole life has never felt like this maybe in recitation only at school do I feel like this. Pakiramdam ko ay binalutan ako ng kaba.
Chave smiled at her "Hey! Kanina ka pa nandito? I thought you couldn't come!" He said when Wisteria sat on the couch.
I smiled widely, They didn't notice my presence. I immediately pushed the boy who intended to sit next to Wisteria. No! Bitch! She's mine. Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay, Ano papalag ka? Sampalan na lang?
"Oh! My friend being a territorial, huh?"Chave teased when I sat beside at Wisteria.
Wisteria looked at me, just as I expected she glare to me. It was as though she had killed me in her mind. I licked my lower lips when I felt like my heart beats faster. Her eyes was shown as the powerful moon it's look beautiful. Her sharp jaw. Her lips were shown delicious. Wait.. what?!
I chuckled "Yeah.. Chave, Whatever," I rolled my eyes. Parang bumaliktad ang aking puso dahil sa titig ni Wisteria. I bit my lower lips and smiled at her. She just remain unreadable. She looks like a book! It seems like a book that translated in a different language I can't understand!
"Why are you here?" Wisteria seriously asked.
She glare at me before drinking the vodka that was in front of her. My lips parted. Nababaliw na ata ako!
I shrugged "Because you're here," matapang kong sagot, She shook her head "I'm serious when I said I like
Her brows furrowed, She put the glass around before looking at me. She even licked her lips with her tongue. Parang tumigil ang oras!
She chuckled "I was also serious about what I said I didn't want you," She said using her sexy husky voice.
I quickly heard my cousin's laughter. I looked at her reason why she shut up. Nakaramdam ako ng bahagyang pagpapahiya dahil sa sinabi niya. It looks like her words is a knife! Kinagat ko ang aking labi bago labanan ang kaniyang
titig. Her eyes had no regret for what was said. Would she really be so hurtful to speak?
I even heard the laughter of the two women who were in spite of Chave who giggled. Gusto ko sila sigawan. Gusto ko tumayo at sabunutan sila.
"When I slap your face, you will give us a silence?" I said at the girls and gave them a glare.
Chave chuckled "Oh.. girls, shut up. I think she's
serious with Wisteria," natatawa niyang sabi.
Tiningnan ko ang mga babae na bigla namang
namutla at umiling. Yeah girls!
Wisteria looked at me "You shut up, stay away from me." she said with a frustation tone.
Umatras siya sa akin na para bang may isa akong sakit na kapag nilapitan niya ay mahahawa siya. I felt like my chest heavy. I looked at her deep eye. I felt drowning.
I sniffed "No.. no, come on. I just want beside you!" I giggled. Even I felt like there's a chance that she gonna slap me again some of her hurtful words but I tried. Tumikhim siya, I saw in her eyes the being annoyed of my presence. Sobrang nakakairita ba ako?
(hindi po sira ulo lang po talaga yan 😭😭 pati ako napipisti kay Wisteria)
She sighed and combed her hair using her finger "Please, Irene. Kung gusto mo dito sa tabi ko then shut up and sit," She pointed the couch using her finger "No shouting." madiin niyang sabi.
I nodded like a puppy, She chuckled and shook her head. I crossed my arm, I stare at her. Hindi ko alam pero alam kong darating sa punto na mapapatanong ako na.. Can I worship this girl?
"Oh! Don't drink too much, Wisteria." awat ko sa kaniya.
She gaze at me, Para bang mas nairita siya sa sinabi ko. I nodded and avoid her gaze. Natanaw ko pa ang ibang pinsan ko na pagala-gala dito. I thought they were just there in the guest room?
Pinalobo ko ang aking pisnge, I just looked at my stilettos. I bit my lips to avoid talking. I felt like she could shower me a fire when she heard my voice. Masyado siyang naiirita sa'kin.
"Hey guys!" Neejan said. He sat beside the girl who is beside Chave, Tinaasan niya ako ng kilay. Oh, Neejan shut the hell up! Don't be ridiculous. Pabalik-balik ang tingin niya sa amin ni Wisteria.
Wisteria also noticed it so she seriously swallow the vodka. I had played my finger while watching her throat movement.
Neejan stood up and sat beside me "Hon.. Are you still mad?" he asked while touching my hands. I rolled my eyes, Inis ko siyang tinitigan. Gan'yan 'yan lagi! Napakawalanghiya!
I stood up, tumabi ako sa kabilang pwesto ni Wisteria. Her eyes were so judgmental that I shook my head immediately. Oh, I hope you could not be victimized by Neejan!
"He's my naughty cousin," I explained and smiled awkwardly. Tiningnan ko si Neejan na suminghap at tinapik ang balikat ni Wisteria.
"Goodluck. Seryoso 'yang pinsan ko.
Nagpaliwanag e," Neejan shrugged and walked away. I lifted my head to see Wisteria that the brow was taking me seriously. I can't help but praise her because of her attractive and beautiful face! Nanaginip ba ako?
She sighed "H'wag kang tumingin sa akin naiirita ako," She complained.
My lips parted, Miski ang dumaan na nakarinig sa kaniya ay nagulat sa sinabi niya. I felt like my cheeks turned into a color red because of what she had said.
Gusto ko man na umapila at ipagtanggol ang sarili ko ay hindi ko nagawa. I just nodded and stopped staring at her. I could feel a glowing tear in my eyes. There was a centralized aircon but I felt so much heat because of sweat on my forehead.
I crossed my arm and legs, I took a deep breath. Pinanood ko na lang ang ibang bisita na dumadaan at ngumiti sa akin. I can't return their smile.
"Prenny, Let's have fun. Ayaw naman ata sa'yo ni Wisteria," He looked at Wisteria but I didn't.
"Hanapan kita ng iba na ibubugaw sa'yo," ngumisi siya at tumayo "Wisteria have a brother.. Nandito ba si Mint?" tanong niya kay Wisteria.
I didn't looked at her. I remained silence. May kapatid siya? Ilang taon naman kaya? Is he good looking too?
"Oh! Sayang naman kung wala siya dito! Ayaw mo ba talaga sa kaibigan ko?" Chave asked.
He got my attention, I immediately looked up to Wisteria that the brow was now elevated to me. I avoid my fingers. Please. Say you like her gaze and crossed me!
I heard Wisteria chuckled "Sorry, Alam mo naman na I'm not in to a flirty woman," pranka na sabi niya. I bit my lower lips, I can't help it! Alright, You didn't like me! Then fine.. Bahala ka sa buhay mo. I stood up. I felt like my chest punched by the truth. Maybe she's drunk, right?
I even heard my cousin calling me. I ignored her. I walked to the guest room. "Babe, My friend is there. Your cousins are in the end"
the guy said when I about to open the door.
He pointed the other door. I nodded and gave him a small smile. He even winked, I pouted. I didn't know him but yeah he looked familiar.
"Thank you," I said before leaving him.
He nodded "Just for you.." and then he winked again.
"Oh? Anong nagyari sa'yo? Bakit parang
pinagsakluban ka ng langit at lupa? Are you alright Irene?" Danw said when I sat on the bed. Lami is busy at her phone, Sele and Denver are busy playing snake and ladder. Dawn is beside me and curious on what happened.
I sniffed "I like this girl.." I demostrate "But she always slapping me the truth that he didn't like me! yes.. I understand but can she treat me like I have a feelings too?" I annoyed said. "She's beautiful! She's attractive! Dawn, Oh my ghad, She really is!" I giggled.
Dawn's lips parted "Hey.." she slapped my arm
"Umayos ka para kang ewan. Anong sinabi mo? May gusto kang babae na? I mean talaga ba?!" Masigla niyang tanong.
I nodded, As though we saw a box of wealth in delight! I even jumped. Yes maybe she just got drunk? Oh it's fine.
"So how's she looks like?" Sele asked before roll the die. I bit my lower lips and giggled "Her eyes are so deep to the point like I'm drowning. Her lips looks like a flower! Her nose is so fucking pointed! Her jaw shouting the truth that she's so damn lucky! Guys! I think i'm truly in love! Oh my ghad!" I covered my face using my palms.
Narinig ko ang tawanan nila, I pouted. Pinaypayan ko ang sarili para pakalmahin. I grabbed my chest because I felt shook. I inhale and I exhale to have my own loosed heart. Nakakabaliw siya! Kahit na masasakit na salita ang sinabi niya.
Denver laughed "Gusto mo.. gusto ka ba?" He teased.
My smile immediately disappear. Natahimik ako dahilan ng pag-angat ng tingin nila sa akin. I glare at Denver who suddenly chuckled like he already know the answer.
"You looks hot with your dress, Dawn. Maganda ka kahit hindi ka masyadong nakamake up. Kaya paano ka hindi magugustuhan no'n?" Lami asked.
Her words returned to my memory. She doesn't like me?
I swallowed hard "Ang sinabi niya she's not into a flirty woman like ME.." pinagdiinan ko ang huling salita while pointing myself.
Denver shook his head and smiled. Lami looked shock on what I said. Sele brows furrowed and Dawn's lips parted. Yeah.. She really said that.
Napamasahe ako sa batok "Yeah, I know. I already told her but he said like I acted and dress like I am," I shrugged.
I looked at Sele who suddenly nodded. What? Is she also telling me like i'm a flirt? I'm not!
"What did you do then?" Sele asked while sliding down the snake.
I grabbed my hair and slapped my face "I just hold her hand because I can't help it! I also hugged her just for a minutes because she smell so good!" I answered.
Narinig ko ang biglaan nilang pagsinghap. They shook their head and chuckled. What?
"Now I know," Lami laughed.
I looked at her who returning the attention to the beeping phone. Sele and Denver laughed at me a while Dawn were stroking my back.
"Hayaan mo na," she said "By the way, Dito kami matutulog sa guest room. Si Lami, Sele at ako while Denver and Neejan are going home." she inform me.
I nodded, How about Chave? Oh.. Masyadong malayo ang bahay namin kung uuwi pa ako. I think I can sleep in his unit?
"How about Chave?" I asked.
Dawn sniffed "Hindi ko alam pero baka uuwi or hindi," She shrugged "Ask mo na lang siya bakit uuwi ka na agad?"
I would have wanted to go home because I felt
overwhelmed. I don't have time to have fun! I stare at the white ceiling, I heard Dawn sighed reason why I looked at her.
"Kung gusto mo ay umuwi ka na. Magpaalam ka na lang kay Richard and thank him ha!" Dawn said and walked towards Sele and Denver.
Napatunganga pa ako. Ilang minuto pa ang tinagal ko habang pinagmamasdan ang ceiling. I stood up and played my hair.
"I'm going to go home there in Chave's unit. I'm not drunk. I can go home alone." I said.
They nodded and stood up to hugged me. I pouted, Kailan na naman kaya ulit kami magkikita-kita?
"Hahanapan kita ng lalaki na matino," Denver said and hugged me.
I rolled my eyes reason why he chuckled. They even told me something more. I was just like being careful about driving. I nodded before going out of the guest room. Hinanap agad ng mga mata ko si Chave. I got off the stairs, there were a few more that were waving to me. I just smiled at them.
"Chave! I'm going to stay in your unit. Can I? and can you please not to go home?" I demand.
I was a look at what he was talking to Richard and didn't notice Wisteria. That was beside him reason why I was stepped backward.
Wisteria raised her brows when she noticed what I did. Oo na, Hindi mo na kailangan na ipahiya pa ako sa pinsan ko at sa boyfriend ng kaibigan ko. May araw ka rin sa akin. I won't be stopped for liking you!
Chave chuckled "Ikaw pa may gana na mag-utos sa akin na 'wag umuwi. Bakit hindi ka umuwi sa bahay n'yo?"
I rolled my eyes and grabbed his hair, I pulled it down! "Just don't go home, I don't want to go home!" Tukoy
I crossed my arm and raised my brows at my friend. I can felt the intense gaze of Wisteria in my peripheral view. I looked at Richard, he just looking at me like he has been accustomed to my attitude.
Chave's brows furrowed "Why don't you work? Diba gusto mo magkapera then work, Irene," he said.
Naiirita na ako, Masyado na malayo ang
pinatutunguhan ng pag-uusap namin. Ang gusto ko ay umuwi sa unit niya. That's all.
"Look.. Chave, Yes I want money but I don't want work. So just sleep here at Richard house then can I borrow your car? You know I like your sedan. It smell so good," I sniffed "Ano? Papalag ka?"
Ngumiwi siya "Sumabay ka na lang kay Wisteria. Magkatabi lang kami ng unit," he said and looked at Wisteria, I frozed "Wisteria, Isabay mo na 'yung kaibigan ko,"
Sabay? Baka bugahan niya lang ako ng apoy! She hate me! She doesn't like me! What if she sue me? What if she left me in the road? What if she throw me at the river? Oh my ghad!
"Chave, It's fine. I can drive and she's drunk," Apila ko. I grabbed my friend's arm, I gave him a puppy eyes and pouted. He chuckled bago hawiin ang pagkakahawak ko sa kaniya. Tiningnan niya ako na para bang nandidiri siya sa ginawa ko.
"No, I'm not." Wisteria interrupt using her husky sexy voice,
"Let's go.." she command before turning her back. I swallowed hard, I felt like there's something on my throat! She said what?
