Never Thought

Chap 17

Averi (PoV)

"Ladies and Gentlemen... My one and only daughter, the heiress of Montesorri Clan... Averi Zae Montesorri!" Pakilala ni dad sakin sa lahat ng bisita kaya umakyat na agad ako sa mini stage at binigyan ng yakap si dad.

"Happy birthday dad." I greeted him bago bumitaw ng yakap.

"Thanks, sweety.."

Dad then gave me the mic and gesture his hand to let me stand in front of all his well-known and powerful visitors.

Oh my gosh, I'm nervous.

I compose myself before I gave my speech.

".... And I'm really happy that God gave me such a kind and strong father. Once again, thank you dad and I wish you all the best." I said sweetly and dad approach me giving me a tight hug.

"Thank you honey.." he carress my head before we let go from a tight hug.

Nagpatuloy ulit sa pagsasalita si dad hanggang sa matapos ito bago nasimulan ang party.

I quickly run towards calli when I saw her sitting on the corner while looking at the sorroundings. She looks bored.

"Calli!" I excitedly called her at napatingin naman sya agad sa gawi ko at ngumiti.

Gosh, why would her smile gaves me chills? Is it really normal? I mean, it really does and it also makes my day complete everytime I saw her smiling at me. Fvck. I can't even deny it anymore.

"Para sa daddy mo ave oh."

She also makes my heart flutter when she's near me na never kong naramdaman kay mer-no, no! It can't be! Maybe, maybe because it just--

"Huy, ave!"

I came back from reality when she snapped her fingers infront of my face.

"Oh, yeah, thank you.." kinuha ko ang inabot nyang gift na para kay dad at sinita ang isa sa mga waiter dito na kunin ito.

"Uhm, I'm sorry if ngayon lang kita na-entertain. You know, I have to give a speech at inaasikaso ko pa yung ibang bisita ni dad dahil todo pakilala si dad sakin sa mga it--"

"Hindi mo naman kailangan mag sorry at magpaliwanag ave." Dugtong nito nang natatawa kaya ganun narin ako.

"Anyways, have you eaten na?" I ask.

"Mm.." tango nito sabay tingin sa paligid. "Akala ko naman party na yung party talaga na may dugs dugs at ilaw ilaw, pang mayaman pala na party Hahahaha.." Natawa naman ako sa biro nito.

"Yeah, haha.. not the actual party from the club but yung partyng pang class ang dating."

"Haha, kaya nga eh, nakalimutan ko yung friends at connections pala ng dad mo ay mga high class kaya ganito talaga yung party. Nakakahiya nga kasi nag trouser lang alaga ako saka black coat. Sabi ko kasi na lagi kong sinasabi sayo di ako mahilig sa ganto."

"Asus, para namang hindi ka naka-attend ng gantong party eh."

"Oo naka-attend na nga ako pero matagal na yun noh, nasanay lang yata ako sa party na may dugs dugs at pailaw ilaw kahit ayoko rin pumunta sa mga ganun hahahah.."

"Hahaha ikaw talaga kahit san ka--"

"Hey, babe." Nabigla naman ako nang may biglang humawak sa waist ko sabay halik sa pisngi.

"B-babe ikaw pala.." He smiled and I did the same awkwardly.

"Parang nakalimutan mo yatang nandito ako ah." Bulong nito sabay higpit ng hawak nito sa beywang ko.
