Pentacost Band Series #4 Euphonious Heartbeats

ch.07

#EH07
Kiss

I was stunned as I stared at him with so much confusion all over my face. Seymour's smug smirk snapped me out from my reveries. I took a deep breath, gathering myself to speak up, but before I can even open my mouth to talk, Seymour immediately spoke.

"It was just a joke, Exzerie. I hope you wouldn't take it seriously, I'm sorry if I offended you."

I blinked numerously. Ang halakhak ng mga kabanda niya kasama ng Assistant ko ang siyang nakaagaw sa atensyon namin, dahilan upang mabaling kami sa kanila.

"I hope you won't mind if we'll invite you over dinner," Windsor shrugged and glanced at Seymour beside me.

Napalunok ako at sandaling napaisip. Nadaanan ng paningin ko si Kish at pansin ko ang panlalaki ng mga mata niya sa akin, tila'y sinasabi na pumayag na ako. I cleared my throat as I nodded my head in approval.

"Hell yeah," Seymour murmured as he walked towards his band mates to give them a high five.

"I think he's jealous Exzerie," Kish whispered to me as she guided me towards the nearest six seater table.

Dahil sa ibinulong niya, pasimple kong pinagmasdan si Seymour na may maliit na ngisi sa labi habang nakikipag usap kay Vermount sa tabi niya. Aethriou is also sitting beside him, pinag gitnaan nila Vermount si Seymour, while Chandler is beside Kish and Windsor is sitting at my left side.

"What dish do you want, Miss Exzerie?" Windsor asked.

I smiled gratefully as I slightly shook my head. "Please, drop the formality. Exzerie will do.."

Tumango siya at palakaibigan na ngumiti. "Okay, Exzerie what do you—"

"Pabida ka talaga, Windsor!" Seymour hissed.

Pare pareho kaming napalingon sa kanya. I raised my brow when I noticed how grumpy he is. Piansadahan ko ng tingin ang buong lamesa at napansin ko ang mga ngisi ng kaibigan niya.

"What? Why?" natatawang tanong ni Windsor.

"Nag padala na ng pagkain, magtatanong ka pa."

"Baka kasi may gusto siyang specific na pagkain. Malay mo ayaw niya pala no'ng ise-serve—"

"Pabida talaga," Seymour rolled his eyes, obviously pissed with the man beside me.

I can't help but to grimaced and but in. "U-uh, it's okay. Kahit ano naman u-uh, kumakain ako.."

Seymour's dagger eyes pierced on me. Ngumuso siya, ang kaninang saya sa mukha ay nawala nang muli.

"Great, kaka-ayos lang ng mood, sinira mo ulit.." Chandler chuckled.

"Wow, so kasalanan ko pa na nag magandang loob ako kay Exzerie?" Windsor asked in disbelief, still chuckling.

Tumikhim ako dahil hindi ko na sila maintindihan kung nagbibiruan pa ba o nagkakainitan na. I am honestly not comfortable. Sa tingin ko pa ay may nagawa talaga akong mali kanina sa shoot, tapos ngayon ay dinadagdagan ko nanaman.

"Stop arguing about those stupid and petty things, para kayong mga atabs. Nakakahiya kay Exzerie."

Oh, I thanked Aethriou in my mind.

They all sighed in defeat after that. Mabuti naman, baka mamaya ay mag away pa silang lahat dito. Although, Seymour still looked sulky. Hindi tuloy ako mapakali at para akong nagi-guilty na ewan.

Good thing, our food finally served. We all solemnly talked about some random stuffs, specially when it comes to showbiz things. Mabilis ko silang naka sundo, siguro kasi ay pare pareho kami at nagkaka isa sa sariling pananaw.
