Invisible String [BxB]

Chapter 11

Paul Jaycee Esguerra

Every sip that I am taking, Kian is seriously staring at me like I am committing a crime.

Tss. Siya nga hindi ko binabawalan uminom and I have no reasons to do so.

Jas is right. What we're drinking is just a light drink. Parang umiinom lang ako ng juice na may kaunting pait. Kahit first time, I also think na walang malalasing sa alak na 'to.

I thought this bar is the type of bar were loud music is banging, people dancing on the center, and also people being wild but I was wrong, it's not. This bar is so chill.

"Anyways guys, how did you met each other? You were classmates?" tanong ni Jas.

"Me and Adi are classmates." sagot ko.

"Ah." sabay na sabi ni Nick at Jas habang tumatango.

"Yes." dagdag ni Adi. "I remember that time when I first saw Jay. I really find him cute so I asked him to be my friend." sabi niya saka tumawa.

Napatingin kaming lahat sa kanya. That was unexpected.

"Hoy haha." sabi ko na lang dahil nahihiya na ako.

"Yes, I find him cute too." sabi ni Jas kaya sa kanya naman kami napatingin.

Alam kong namumula na ako dahil sa hiya. Bakit ba ako ang topic?

"Hoy hindi naman, grabe kayo." sabi ko na lang saka uminom ng alak. Nahihiya na talaga ako.

I glanced at Kian, he is serious and I don't know why. He's weird tonight.

"If I can, I would ask Jay to date me but." hinto niya saka napatingin kay Kian. "Nevermind. I still love my life." dagdag niya kaya nagtawanan silang lahat.

Ha? What is that?

Kaya kahit naguguluhan ako, tumawa na lang din ako.

Ang sama nang tingin ni Kian kay Jas. Those stares are deadly.

He is not even opening his mouth to talk. I don't know why but he's different tonight.

I touched his thighs to get his attention. "Hey, okay ka lang ba?"

He placed his hand on top of mine saka tumingin sa'kin. "Yes." sagot niya.

"Tss. Don't ruin the fun okay? Dali na, smile na." sabi ko.

"I definitely won't ruin the fun but sorry, I won't smile." sagot niya kaya sinamaan ko siya nang tingin.

"Dali na!" sabi ko na may kunwaring tono na galit ako.

"No." sagot niya.

"Okay, uuwi na lang ako." tatayo na sana ako kaso hinigpitan niya yung hawak sa kamay ko.

"Tss." sabi niya saka ngumiti.

Nagulat ako kasi naramdaman ko na naman yung kakaiba sa dibdib ko.

Him smiling makes me heart beat so fast, like real fast.

This feeling is really something. I don't hate it, and it's slowly becoming normal. I can't explain but this excites me.

"Is this okay?" tanong niya still with that smile.

"Ayan, kaya naman pala eh." sagot ko na lang.

He looks so good with that smile. It makes my heart go happy.

"Tss. Ang daya sila lang dalawa nag-uusap. Ayaw i-share." sabi ni Nick kaya napatingin kami.
