His Favorite Obsession (Under Revision)

CHAPTER 5

As I stepped into the club, I was greeted by the thumping beats of music. The air was smoky and the place was packed with people, everyone letting loose. It struck me as odd, considering it was only 10 PM.

The dim lights mixed red and blue, yet this didn't hinder me from spotting the man I was looking for amidst the crowd of girls near the dance floor, seeming to cause a commotion. Even from a distance, I had a strong suspicion of who it was. That's why there were so many people.

I walk towards him.

Despite the darkness, I can see how they are eyeing and drooling over me. Boys!

I stepped into the club, clad in high-waisted faded jeans, a black sleeveless top accentuated by a sleek black leather jacket, and, of course, stunning 4-inch black heels.

My long, luscious black hair cascaded down, enhancing my allure. Feeling the warmth, I gracefully shrugged off the leather jacket. My mom always insisted that sleeveless tops and tube ones suited me exceptionally well, emphasizing my flawless, fair skin and highlighting my elegantly curved figure.

"Stunning," I overheard a man remarking beside me, while a symphony of compliments seemed to emerge from every direction.

As I go near him, I can see how irritated and frustrated his face is. He looks so upset na tila may hinahanap na kung sino ngunit bigong makita dahil sa dami ng mga tao at sa mga babaeng panay ang lingkis sa kanya.

Halos magdikit ang kilay ko nang makita si Stacey, the mayor's daughter,  nakaangkala ang kamay sa braso ni Khairo na kulang na lang ay wag na magdamit dahil sa sobrang revealing ng suot. She's wearing a black tube dress na konti na lang ay makikita mo na ang singit sa sobrang iksi.

What a slut.

Para akong bulkan na handa nang sumabog ng makitang pumailalim ang kamay nito sa suot na damit ni Khairo.

What the hell!

"Fuck! Who the hell did that?!" asik nito.

Khairo was shocked by what she did. Halos malukot na ang mukha nito sa sobrang inis.

Handa na sana niyang bulyawan si Stacey na humagikgik lang sa ginawa at tila wala lang ang nangyari, nang lumagpas ang tingin niya dito at nagtama ang mga mata namin.

His gray eyes automatically widened, ngunit 'di nagtagal ay napalitan ito ng galit.

Why are you giving me that look Khairo? Aren't you enjoying making fun with your girls?

Kahit medyo malayo ako sa kinaroroonan niya ay alam kong kong kita niya ang pag taas ng kilay ko.

Taas noo akong nagpatuloy sa paglalakad at huminto sa harapan nila.

"Excuse me, can you move a bit? "I asked one of those girls who admire him.

Tila naman nagulat ito sa presensya ko at agad na nagbigay daan.

"Ashtarie--"

I cut his words and intently look on Stacey.

"Oh, hi Ash! Nice to see you here" mapang-asar na bati sakin nito. Ever since, we are enemy. Masyadong inggetera kasi ang isang 'to.

"Well sadly, it's bad to see you here. Kaya pala hindi ako inatake ng allergy ko kanina, dahil nandito ang higad" mapangasar rin na ganti ko and gave her my sweetest smile.

Kahit malakas ang tugtog ay  bahagyan namang natahimik sa malapit na pwesto dahil sa mainit na tensyon sa pagitan naming dalawa.

"Ashtarielle" si Khairo na tila inaawat na ako, ang mga mata nito ay namumungay at nakikiusap na.
