Me and My Boys VOLUME 3

Chapter 35

Allexa's POV

"Hey there, beautiful " bati niya sakin nung nasa harap ko na siya, kinagat ko yung ilalim cheeks ko para huwag ngumiti ng malapad. Yakap ko yung mga letters sa dibdib ko as I looked up at him.

"Hi" mahinang bati ko at dali kong kinagat yung ibabang labi ko.

He raised his other hand and touched my cheek, rubbing his thumb softly just below my eye bags.

"Sorry, did the idiots made you cry?" Tanong niya, parang nalungkot tuloy siya kaya I quickly shook my head no.

"Their letters did" sagot ko and he smiled a bit. His hand came out from his back at may hawak siyang isang red rose. Inamoy niya muna saka tumingin sa akin and he handed it to me.

Kinagat ko pa lalo yung ibabang lips ko para pigilan ang tili ko. Napansin ata niya kasi tumawa siya ng konti. I took the rose and smelled. God it smells so good. Tumingin uli ako sa kanya. Hindi pa din nawawala ang maliit na ngiti niya.

Itinaas niya yung right hand niya, palm facing up. Inilagay ko sa sling bag ko yung mga letters, careful not to wrinkle them and I held the rose in my right and took his hand in my left hand. He guided me and we walked going to the front door.

"Asan yung iba?" Tanong ko pero hindi siya sumagot hanggang sa nasa front door na kami. Tumingin siya sakin pero hindi niya ako hinarap. Hinawakan niya yung door knob with his left hand and twisted it, making a clicking sign signaling us that it is already opened.

"Did I tell you.." Sabi niya habang nakatingin siya sakin, "that you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen?" Tanong niya at ramdam ko yung pag akyat ng blush ko from my neck up to my face.

I shook my head.

"Now you know" sabi niya and leaned closer para magbulong, I had to stop breathing, "It's official, you're 18, do you know what that means?" Bulong niya at lumunok ako.

"Na..na pwede na akong makulong?" Tanong ko and he leaned away as he chuckled.

"Nevermind, come, every one is waiting" he said and pushed the door opened.

For the second time that day, my jaw dropped. Bryce reached out and pressed my chin up so my mouth would close, but I didn't take my eyes off of the scenery in front of me.

Unang napansin ko yung mga boys na nakahilera from each side of the doorway going to a mini stage that is placed at the foot of the stairs. The boys are wearing hoodies na may C4F.

If I didn't mention before, hindi pa napapalitan yung C3F hoodie namin, not until now. The hoodies are black and the letters are in cursive rubber silver. A simple printed hoodie, but very meaningful and important to us. It is our label. It is our family sign.

Then I noticed the roses, others are holding it in their hand, others stuck it behind their ears, others are biting the center of the stem.

I don't know what's up.

Then I saw Liezel, Crystal, Mary Jane, Solar, Hellxaira, Ashley is there! even.. Kate? Ohmy! Renee is there too!

They were all wearing simple cotton dresses and were standing just below the mini stage, opposite of them are..my parents! Lolo! Uncle and Leejoon!

Okay, I think I'm going to freak out.

"What's..happening?" Tanong ko, more to myself.

Then everything cleared.

The greetings. 18. Roses. Mini stage.

"Don't tell them" bulong ni Bryce and I looked at him, he winked. He knows. Pero bakit hindi niya sinabi sa kanila? I'll find out soon.
