The Perks of Loving a Faust (Perks Series #1)

20

Louis and I take our first dance together to start the night. Liquors have been already serve. Some take their dances too, while romantic music is still playing.

"How can you be this beautiful?" Louis asked while we're dancing.

He's looking at me, straight in my eyes and I can see his eyes shines as he look at me.

Bahagya akong napailing sa sinabi niya.

"Why are you so bolero?" I asked him back.

I never imagine myself meeting someone aside from Septimus and liking them.

Maybe Septimus became really rude that it makes my feelings for him fade away. But for the last few days, he's just cool.

No rudeness, no bullshits, just him being sincere in every way. Good for him though.

I think I'm liking Louis, but not too much. I can't say I already love him, its way too soon. He's nice, gentleman, and caring, there's no way a girl wouldn't like him for being so good.

"Binibini," Louis caught my attention back. I look at him as we dance, my hands is in the back of his neck while his hands were placed in my waist.

"Indigo and others is looking at me," he said and look at my back, I tried to glance at our table and I saw them looking at us like they were waiting for Louis to hand me over to them.

"I'm afraid you need to dance with them too, is that okay?" I look back at Louis my brows furrowed.

"You'll not get jealous?" he look at me like I said something wrong, he laughed before he pinch my cheek.

"Why would I? They're our friends, let's go."

When we came back to our table, Septimus is there holding a glass of tequila. Maybe he just go to the restroom? I don't know.

"Akala namin wala ka ng balak bitawan si Pasensya eh," Devon commented.

"I just enjoy the moment, you can dance her now." sagot ni Louis sa kanya.

I didn't expect Kalawang to take me first to dance, I'm expecting Indigo would. Before I let Kalawang guide me in the dance floor, I remove the crown in my head and place it in our table in front of Louis. I also remove my sash, so I would not have to worry about it.

Kalawang dance me, it was not in a romantic way. I treat Kalawang as a brother to me but he's so annoying, he's the reason why everyone from the gang calls me Pasensya, of course except for Septimus and Louis.

"I know I pisses you off, like for a lot of times,"

"Good thing you know," I sarcastically said.

"But I just want you to know that I hope you're happy." my brows furrowed while I look at him, do I look like I am not happy?

"Hey, don't misinterpret. I'm just wishing for your happiness!" depensa niya nang makita ang reaksyon ko.

"I'm not saying anything!" I said, I pursed my lips before I said " Thanks men,"

"Let's go back, nagugutom na ulit ako." napairap ako sa sinabi niya. He just ruin the good friendship moment.

"I doubt if you can get a girlfriend, looks like you're already married to your foods," natawa lang siya sa sinabi ko.

He held my waist when we're heading back to our table. I look at my school mates, almost half of them is already drinking liquors.

Devon take me to dance. I didn't expect him to say anything, knowing him he's full of his jokes.
