Beneath a Moonless Sky (Wild Love Series #2)

Chapter 8

I thought he left me already but after a few seconds, he came back looking angry but...handsome. I'm too marupok. Napakamot-kamot pa siya sa ulo niya bago tuluyang makalapit sa akin.

"Ano? Hindi ka pa lalabas?" Inis niyang tanong sa akin.

I bit my lips to hide my smile. He looked behind me for a moment before frowning when he saw my reaction and grabbed my hand and dragged me out. Nang makalabas kami ay natagpuan ko si Shen na malaki ang ngiting nakatingin sa aming dalawa habang katabi ang mga friends ni Kuya Eros na mukhang nawalan ng mga kaluluwa.

"I will never go back there again bro!" One of them said.

The other one laughed and made fun of him. Tinanggal niya ang hawak sa kamay ko bago makalapit sa kanila.

"Oh? What happened?" Shen gave me an accusing look.

Hindi sumagot si Kuya Eros sa kaniya at tumabi doon sa mga kaibigan niya. Shen hooked her arms around mine. Oh, I know that look.

"You're welcome!" She winked at me. "So, what happened?"

I licked my lips and glanced at Kuya Eros but he wasn't looking. Mukhang galit talaga siya sa akin. What a nice move back there, Selene. Gusto ko nalang kurutin ang sarili ko nang maalala anong ginawa ko kanina.

She pinched me, "Ano? Did something happen?"

Hindi ako nakasagot agad dahil tinawag kami nung isang lalaki. They were already looking at us pala.

"Hey!" We both looked at one of Kuya Eros' friends whom I think was named, Van. "Want to go with us?"

I was about to say something but my eyes caught his. He was the first to look away from me, I just sighed. Pinansin ko si Shen and shook my head. Umirap siya at napasapo sa noo niya like it was something very bobo.

"Oh my god," She whispered under her breath before turning her attention to them. "Yes, please! San kayo pupunta Kuya?"

Nanlaki ang mata ko at palihim na siniko ang kaibigan but she just gave me a look. Can't she read me? Nahihiya ako! At ano? Are they close already? Napatingin ako kay Kuya Eros pero nasa cellphone ang atensyon niya. His phone ringed and then after that he excused himself from us.

"Doon sa shooting booth."

Pailing na sana ako nang biglang pinaikot ni Shen ang kamay sa batok ko. I wanted to punch her but I can't. Apat silang lahat at kasama na si Kuya Eros dun. I know that they are not masama naman dahil alam kong kaibigan din sila ni Kuya so ba't ako matatakot?

"Are u g, Selene?" Tanong 'nung parang half korean sa kanila.

"I don't know, Kuya..." Napalingon ako kay Shen 'nang siniko niya ako at napabuntong hininga. "But, if it's okay with you then—"

"It's super okay,"

"Okay then."

"Great! Now, let's go!"

From my peripheral vision, I can sense that Kuya Eros just came back. I can even smell his expensive perfume. I know it's him and I can feel he's staring at me. My heart is pounding so loudly!

"Saan?" Seryosong tanong niya pero ramdam ko parin ang mga titig niya at nang maramdaman kong wala na ay doon ako napatingin sa kanya.

His friend put his arms over his shoulders while looking at us. May naalala ako. Why would I be fucking shy over what I did earlier? It was something that I really want to do and I have no regrets. Now, Selene. Just act like nothing happened.
