"Wow, you look like a model who came out of a magazine." Manghang sabi ni Jianna na ikinatawa ko.
"I'm a Carmichael, that's why!" Biro ko sakanya at kinindatan sya.
"Oo na! Pag ako naging Carmichael din, pwede nang I level ang beauty ko sayo!" Natatawa nyang sabi. Jianna is a petite girl with big eyes and long lashes, pag tiningnan mo sya ang una mong makikita ay ang magaganda nyang mata. Her eyes are really lovely that guys would love to stare at.
"Hmnn.. So may balak kang maging Carmichael? Who among my cousins then?" Nang aasar kong sabi habang inaayos ang strap ng dress ko. I'm wearing a mini black dress that shows off my curves, nag dadalawang isip pa ako kung magpapalit ba ako, feeling ko masyadong daring ang damit ko para sa Club dito sa Palawan. I bought this dress at New York three months ago, isusuot ko dapat ito sa get together namin ng mga friends ko sa NY kaso hindi natuloy dahil kailangan ko kagad umuwi ng Pilipinas.
"Ha?" Biglang namula ito at nag umpisang mabahala.
"Hmnn..si Yckos ba?"
"W-what?"
"Sya nga!" Natatawa kong sabi, she just stood frozen to where she is right now. She looks as if she was caught doing something forbidden.
"Cous, stop torturing my bff!" Nakanguso nyang sabi. She's wearing a leather pants and black cropped top, she looks like a bad girl lalo na dahil sa smokey eyes nya.
"Perfect!" Jianna chirped when she saw her.
"Yeah, but not as perfect as that Angel in disguise!" Naniningkit ang matang turo nya saakin.
"Come on, alam ko ang ginagawa nyo, stop changing the topic, I just want to know kung sino ang gusto mo Jianna." Nagkatinginan ang dalawa na tila ba nag iisip mabuti, naghahamong napataas ang kilay ko.
"Fine, but promise me na walang makakaalam." Nagsusumamo nitong sabi with matching paawa effect.
"Si-"
"Kuya Yvo" biglang sabi ni Azalea.
"Az!!!"
"What? Tinulungan lang kita! Pigil ang ngiting sabi ni Azalea.
"Eh ako na nga mag sasabi diba?!" Lukot ang mukha na reklamo ni Jianna na para bang gusto nang magpapadyak.
"Hmnnn.. Good luck nalang kay Kuya Yvo." Nakangisi kong sabi na ikinalabi naman ni Jianna. Sa mga pinsan kong lalaki si Kuya Yvo lang ang walang hilig sa relationship..for him, ball is life! After ng responsibility nya sa pamilya, pangalawa ang basketball sa pinakamahal nya sa buhay.
"Ang supportive mo ha!" Nakasimangot na sabi nya. Umiling ako ang ngumiti sakanya.
"Well who knows? Bola lang naman ang kaagaw mo kay Kuya Yvo. Malay mo one day hindi na ball is life kundi, YOU are his Life na!" Tinapik ko sya sa balikat at kinuha ang pouch ko.
"Ewwww so corny Cous!" Natatawang sabi ni Azalea na sumunod saakin.
"Let's go and party!" Sigaw ni Jianna na nagbago na ang mood.
"What's this place?" Namamanghang tanong ko. The place looks Classy and exclusive, hindi mo aakalain na nasa puso ito ng Palawan.
"It's an underground Club." Kindat saakin ni Azalea.
"Huh?"
"It's a private club na ang mga members lang ang nakakaalam at nakakapasok, mostly mga mayayaman dito sa Palawan, may ilang turista din ang members ng Club na ito."
"And I'm a member, dahil kilala ko ang anak ng may ari ng Club na ito, she invited me to be a member and I grabbed the opportunity."proud na sabi ni Jianna.
"Good job then!" I said at nauna na akong lumakad papasok ng Club. Manghang nag masid ako sa paligid. This place is awesome! You wouldn’t think na nasa Palawan ka! Instead aakalain mo na nasa Manila ka! But then if this club is really exclusive then it is expected to be this extravagant!
The club isn'the best place to find a lover
So the bar is where I go
I don't know how long I have been dancing, but I'm enjoying this, it makes me remember my night life in New York. Those were the days na pag bored and friends ko ay mag aaya and mga ito mag Club! And walang week na Hindi kami puma- party kaya nakakamiss din.
Me and my friends at the table doing shots
Drinking fast and then we talk slow
The club isn't crowded maybe because it's not a public club, and that alone excites me more than ever. I hate crowded bars to be honest, and only few bars offers this kind of privilege and atmosphere.
And you come over and start up a conversation with me
And trust me I'll give it a chance now
That's when I felt a presence behind, he's so close that it made me smell his perfume
His hands suddenly went to my hips and he dances behind me.
Take my hand, and stop, put Van the Man on the jukebox
And then we start to dance and now I'm singing like
I sucked my breath my as he pulled me closer and his face went to my neck. This guy has guts to touch me!
Girl, you know I want your love
Your love was handmade for somebody like me
Come on now follow my lead
I maybe crazy, don't mind me
This reminds me of night before I was sent here to Palawan, the guy with grey eyes whom I can't remember how handsome his face is, maybe dala na din bang kalasingan.
Say, boy, let's not talk to much
Grab on my waist and put that body on me
Come on now, follow my lead
Come, come on now follow my lead
My eyes closed as we danced into the music, I hate the fact that I am feeling weak against this man's arm. It felt wrong but it also felt good. I was supposed to ask him to let me go and leave me alone but his touch feels so good on my skin. So, I let him be, and I continued dancing without taking a glance on his face.
"Does Yvo know that you are here, Hmnn?" His husky voice made me freeze, that voice. "Dance Cassiopeia, just continue dancing before I change my mind and call Yvo.." may pag babanta sa boses nito.
I swallowed hard as I tried to dance again, My heart is beating fast not only because his arms are around me but also because I'm so nervous that my heart is about to burst! Baking sya andito?! Of all people bakit sya pa?! At ano itong ginagawa nya?!
Why is he even talking to me? Worse, bothering me! We are not even in talking terms, so I don’t understand why he is holding me so close and threatening me?!
I'm inlove with the shape of you
"I didn't know that you're a bad girl, Hmnn Cassopeia?" I sucked my breath for the second time when I felt his lips near my ear.
My eyes widen.
"Let go me!" Finally nag kalakas loob ako! Sinubukan kong alisin ang braso nya pero hinigpitan lamang nya iyon.
"Shhhh behave Cassopeia or I will make you behave in my own way, hmnn?" Malambing nyang sabi in a way na halos kilabutan ako.
I swallowed hard. His voice is seducing my sane mind..
No, wake up Leigh! Wag kang mag padala sa playboy na yan!
"Ano ba!" Inis kong sabi. Sa isang iglap ay naikot nya ako. Kung kanina ay nakatalikod ako sakanya, ngayon naman ay magkaharap na kami. My eyes grew wide when I saw his gorgeous face, we are too close to each other that made me feel so uncomfortable.
The way he is looking at me is making me feel uncomfortable.
"C-can you just let go of me?" Kinakabahan kong sabi.
"Why are you here?!" Imbes na sagutin ako sa tanong ko ay tanong ang sinagot nya saakin. His stare is too intense, it makes my knees weak.
"N-none you your business!" Inirapan ko sya sa inis, and I can see that he doesn't appreciate it dahil kita ko ang pagsingkit ng mata nya, his jaw clenched and his eyes is sending me daggers.
"Agapi Mou, don't make me ask for the second time or I'll make sure that you'll regret it." May babala nyang sabi.
Agapi Mou? That sounds familiar....
