CHAPTER 12

"I can't wait to make us official."

He boldly said that without any hesitations, as if he waited for this right moment.

We stopped dancing as I was shocked, I don't even know what to say, I opened my mouth but nothing came out.

He was intently staring at me, and I tried to avoid his gaze, but my eyes were fixated on to him as well. It was like everything stopped, the time, the people dancing, and the only thing I could hear was my heart beating loudly and our warm breaths. 

Why? 

That was the only question in my head, I couldn't think of anything else, I find everything to fast as if we were in a time-lapse. 

"Hmm?" He said as if he was waiting for a reaction from me, I just continued leaning on his chest. 

"Aren't we going to fast? The dates, our hangouts, I appreciate that so much, but-"

"I'm sorry," he moved away so he could see my face, so I lift my head up to see him as well. "I'll patiently wait for you, no pressure." He said in a calm assuring voice then, he smiled.

"Let's find more time muna in getting to know each other, I think that's one of the first important steps before getting into a relationship."

"Yes, I get you." He shortly replied in agreeing to what I said.

"Tsaka, wala pa akong experience dyan, so..." I laughed awkwardly as I was shy because of it.

Then, we continued dancing. We were having fun as we chit-chat about what we love, what we have in common, and even our embarrassing moments! Nakakatawa lang na may ganito siyang side, he has a really bubbly attitude. 

"Hey dude!"  Tawag sa kanya ng isa sa mga friends nya which is si Troy, nilingon namin siya at mukha siyang pagod kasi pawis na pawis siya, tinulak niya ang isa sa mga couple na nagsasayaw at sabi, "Tabi mga ulol, magbbreak din kayo!". Narinig ko yung lalaki na kasayaw ng babae na nairita at minura siya.

"Parang tanga." Sabi nung lalaki.

"Kanina pa kita hinahanap pare," hinihingal siya, his hands were on his knees which looked like he was crouching. "Beast mode nanaman si Ashton, halimaw talaga yon, si Jane kasi kanina pa namin pinagsasabihan, ayun dude, puntahan mo."

Nagkatinginan kami ni Dwayne, "Puntahan ko lang saglit ha, pag kasi nagalit 'yon, iba eh. Balikan kita mamaya, why don't you stay outside near the fountain for fresh air? After, I'll send you home."

"Sige, tawagan mo nalang ako pag okay na."

"Gusto mo ba ihatid muna kita?" 

"Dude naman," Troy joined the conversation. " She has legs, hands, and eyes to see and walk, kaya niya yan. Kayo na ba at grabe ka naman pare. Hulog na hulog!" Sinabi niya ng pabiro at nakangisi.

"Dami mong alam, nagmessage saakin si Alexa." Sabi niya habang nakatingin sa cellphone niya. "Umiiyak parin daw si Jane, si Ash naman umalis."

"Where did he go?" Tanong ni Troy.

"Let's go and find him before he does something bad."

"Sige hanapin niyo na kaibigan niyo, dun muna ako sa labas." I started walking away when Dwayne grabbed my elbows softly which made me shocked, when he turned me around from his grip, he kissed me on the cheek.
