My Mate (GaWong)

24: Dance With Me

Deanna

"I am so please to have you all this evening for this very special occasion of the vampire kingdom," dad said to his guests.

Nandito pa ako sa itaas with Ricci, waiting to be introduce.

"D-deanna," said the man beside me.

"Bakit?"

"Does Nicole have a boyfriend?" Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay.

"Why do you care?"

Nakatingin lang ito sa baba, to his shoes to be exact.

"W-wala lang."

"Do you like my sister?"

Matagal bago siya sumagot.

"I.. I think she's my mate..." I was about to answer but was interrupted when dad finally introduce me.

"And now let us all welcome, my lovely daughter and successor. Your new vampire queen, Maria Deanna Izabelle Wong!"

Napuno ng palakpak ang boung palasyo, kinawit ko ang kamay ko sa braso ni Ricci at dahan-dahan kaming naglakad pababa ng hagdan.

My eyes is searching for someone, lahat ng tao ay nakasout ng ibat-ibang eleganteng maskara kaya nahirapan akong mamukhaan siya.

Ngumiti ako ng matamis sa kanilang lahat.

A stage has been set up for this occasion. Nandoon ang bago kong trono at sa magkabilang gilid nito ay ang kay mom at dad while the crown is at the center stage, inside a glass box coated with gold.

My parents is waiting for me sa itaas. They're both wearing their royal attires.

Walking down the red carpet with all the eyes staring at me made me feel like time has slowed down ten times.

It's so uncomfortable. I'm not sure if I'll get use to it kung matuloy man ngayon ang paglipat ng korona sa akin.

I'm starting to get pissed na rin just by thinking about being the 'queen' they want me to be.

There's only one thing that will make me feel better. Masilayan ko lang siya.

Then I met gaze with the most beautiful brown eyes I've ever seen in my entire existence, she's smiling sweetly at me that made me blush in an instant.

Katabi niya si Ate Gretch sa isang table pero binalewala ko ang selos na nararamdaman ko. Dmn. My mate is so gorgeous. Drop dead gorgeous.

I can't wait to see you walking down the aisle wearing a beautiful white dress after this. Matapos lang lahat ng 'to papakasalan kita.

Gumanti ako ng matamis na ngiti bago pinagpatuloy ang lakad papunta sa stage.

Sinalubong ako ni dad ng isang mahigpit na yakap, "I'm so proud of you Deanna, I know you'll do great my daughter."

I hugged him back, niyakap ko rin si mom nang kumalas ako sa yakap ni dad.

Tumayo ako ng tuwid at hinarap ang mga guest, it's full moon kaya napakaganda ng kalangitan but I'm sure mamaya ay mapupuno 'yan ng kulog at kidlat.

Nang humupa ang palakpakan ay nagsalita muli si dad.

"For the meantime let us all enjoy the night bago koronahan ang anak ko," he pointed the direction of the Disc Jockey (DJ), my brother Joseph.

"Let the fun begin son," he stated with so much energy kaya napakamot ako sa batok unconsciously. Nagtawanan lang naman ang mga guest.

Joseph started playing slow songs, una niyang pinatugtog ang You Are The Reason by Calum Scott.
