Between the Rainbow (Strawberries and Cigarettes Series #1)

Chapter 27

Smile

"Oh akala ko ba may sakit, Brent?" si Angela nang bumaba na rin kami sa sala ni Shiloh pagkatapos manood ng isang movie.

I only chuckled. Natawa rin si Angela.

"Gago ka! Kinabahan ako sa'yo kanina! Kita ko ang galit mo!"

"I'm sorry..." I smiled and caressed my nape.

"Paanong hindi 'yan magogood mood eh may ginagawa," si Rick na biglang sumulpot.

Inakbayan ako ni Tyler at malawak ang ngisi.
"Nawawala pa naman si Verena. Hmm..."

I rolled my eyes. She could go to hell, which I don't care about as long as she keeps her hands to herself.

Sumulpot din si Ronan sa gilid ko at isinandal ang kamay sa kabila kong balikat, nakatagilid ang ulo at sinusuri ang labi ko.

"Red lips. Nakatikim 'to..." panunuya niya.

Siniko ko siya paalis sa gilid ko kaya natawa agad silang dalawa ni Tyler.

Nakita ko kung paano hinila roon si Shiloh. With his eyes smiling as well as his mouth opening when he laughs, showing all of his pearly white teeth, I know he's having fun.

"You got me so hypnotized the way your body rollin' round and round!" the girls were vibing with the music while dancing.

I joined the boys on the sofa in the living room there were still a lot of people in the swimming pool area.

Tinapik ni Mavric ang balikat ko at binigyan ako ng shot. I sat where I could see Shiloh dancing with the girls. Wala sa sarili kong sinimsim ang alak habang naroon ang titig sa kanya.

Nagtipa ako ng mensahe sa kanya.

Ako:

No more games please

He looked at his phone while laughing with the girls and typed for a reply. Pinatay ko ang screen nang tumingin si Mavric sa phone ko.

"Basag na naman..." he commented, handing me my own shot.

"Slipped on my hand." I shrugged until the screen lightened.

Shiloh:

Heh

I arched my brow.

Ako:

I mean, you could play the games on my phone instead

Nailing si Mavric sa gilid ko at nilagok ang kanyang shot.

"Brent. Was it Verena?" Rick tried to confirm.

The boys looked so curious.

"I am not doing anything."

"Pero may kasama ka sa kwarto ah," aniya. "Sino 'yon?"

"Nagwalk-out 'yan kanina noong si Shiloh at Verena na," ani Tyler.
