Gravity

Chapter 8

Savannah

Hindi ko alam kung anong magiging reaction ko o kung anong dapat kong sabihin sa narinig ko, all I know right now is that my heart is starting to go wild... i don't know why... I'm supposed to be annoyed with this guy, right??

I heard Justin cough, trying to break the awkward moment that was starting to build up.

And with that, parang bigla naman natauhan si Steven. "I-I mean, your performance was beautiful, Savannah... You actually, sound good..." he said as if trying to find the perfect words to describe my performance.

"I told you, buddy... She deserved my offer for her." Justin agreed easily.

"Thanks..." I replied awkwardly. These guys? I just met them but they are starting to make such a great impact in my life..

"So, who's up for pizza???" Justin asked while putting down the bass guitar...

"Me!!!" screamed trixie...

"Savannah??" Justin turned to me after he nod and smiled at my friend.

"Sure" I replied.

He turned to Steven and said, "Dude,... oh, never mind. I shouldn't be asking you, because you eat like a dinosaur and you will eat whatever food I hand over to you..." then he laughed humorlessly.

"Shut up, dude!!!" steven said annoyingly then put the guitar down and went down the stage.

Justin called for a pizza delivery then we had an exchange of conversation together with trixie, while steven just observed us until the pizza arrived and steven insist on paying for it. What catches my attention is how steven eat, Justin was right. Pambihira!!! Hindi ko akalain na ganito katakaw ang taong toh!!! But then, I still found it cute and amusing. I always want to eat with someone na ganito yung appetite.

"Dylan." trixie called steven's attention and then he turned to her. "I know someone who eat like you."

"who???" Steven and Justin asked in unison.

Trixie chuckled for a while and said,"My friend over here" then she points at my direction.

I was shocked with that. Talagang kaibigan ko pa talaga ang maglalaglag sakin diba? hindi ko inexpect yon, I promise. "Trix!!" I yelled at her. Then I looked at Justin and Steven who seemed shock at Trixie's statement also.

"And where did all the food goes??" asked justin in amused tone.

Infact, its a little bit true. I love eating, yeah. Well, who wouldn't?? But, I still control it. Too much of something is a sin, right?? "I don't know" i said.

Justin smile at me and say, "Well, its quite amusing for me. I thought you girls are always conscious about your figures. But then, I find it more amusing to know that you are very fond of food and yet you still manage to have an amazing body." said Justin. And then, trixie tease us with each other.

I felt my cheecks became hotter, I know I am blushing at Justin's statement. "Stop flatterig me justin. please."

He smiled and as I look at the faces of the two other people in the room, I saw Trixie smiling also while Steven, He's looking at me, actually, he is staring at me as if studying every features of my face.

"I'm not trying to flatter you, Savannah." Justin said and reach for my hand. And my heart is starting to beat fast. "I am telling you the truth. You don't just have an amazing body, but, everything about you is amazing. The way you just turn your back on me last night, made realize that you are different... And when you smile at me before you leave, made every inch of my body ache to know you more." he continued. And that statement made everybody in the room became silent. woah!!! that was fast!!!

I am about to say something when we heard the mac book on the desk beep for skype. Steven rose up to check it. "Dude, its Khyle." Steven informed Justin and turn the laptop to our direction. There in the screen was khyle whom I expected to be a boy but it turns out that I was wrong,because the person on the screen is a girl. A beautiful blonde girl.

I tried pulling away my hand from Justin's hold but then he held it even tighter, before I knew it, Steven was sitting with us again.

"Hey bro, I miss you both so much!!" Khyle said excitedly while waving her hand.

"Stop bro-zoning us, we all knew that you wanted to sleep with my bestfriend." Justin said joking.

"Oh, Shut up, Justin! He's my best friend.." Khyle rebuted... Seriously?? kailangan talagang pag agawan??

"Please, stop claiming what's mine." said justin. And I saw Steven smirking while observing them.

"You sounded like a jelous girlfriend" khyle said flipping her hair.

"Guys, please I'm here! And we have other people in the room. Stop being so childish." Steven interrupt them, then turn to khyle on the screen. "hey, 'supp!!! where is your other half???" he asked.

"In the bathroom. Trying to calm herself. She here in my place freaking out." khyle said. And here comes the awkward moment. I think we need to leave.

"Not going to ask why, because its not new to me. She is a freak!! End of story" Justin said and then turn to me. "Hey, are you ok?" he asked me.

"yeah." I answered.

"Its serious this time." she answered and say,"Do you guys mind to introduce me to those ladies around??" She asked refering to me and Trixie.

"Oh, yeah. Khyle these ladies here are Savannah and her friend Trixie" Justin introduce us. "Savannah will be singing with us in the band here in my soon to open grill and restaurant. She's also working in Steven's dad company together with Trixie" he added.

"Hi girls!!! nice to meet you both." she said.

"Hi!" Trixie and I waved to her. "Its nice to meet you too" I said.

"Are you dating Justin now?" She asked me. Wow! Ang straightforward. Eh, sino ba nman kasi ang hindi mag iisip ng ganun? ayaw kaya pakawalan nitong isang to yung kamay ko.

"Yeah, we're dating." Justin answered. 'teka, kelan pa? anung meron sa taong to?'

"No!!! He's kidding. We're not dating. We just met last night and I'm here for my interview and audition" I told her honestly. Yun naman talaga ang pinunta ko dito diba??

Justin turn to me, "I admit that I just met you last night, but, I'm going to ask you for a date and I won't take 'no' for an answer. I told you Savannah, I wanted to know you more, and I'm willing to do everything for that." Justin told me. Eto na naman sya. Pinapakaba na naman nya ako. Sa harap pa talaga ng mga kaibigan nya. AWKWARD!!!

"Seriously??" Khyle caught our attention. "That's way too cheessy Justin. It's so not like you."

Someone appear from the door behind Khyle. Hanep! kung nakaka insecure ang beauty ni khyle, mas lalo na to... she may not be blonde, but, she is definitely hot with her long dark curly hair. Samahan pa ng sobrang liit nyang bewang at sophisticated face na medyo angelic din ang dating.

"Is that Steven??" She asked heading towards the screen. "Steven, why did you left us here for that Justin 'jerky'?" He asked Steven as if Justin's not around.

"Girls, I emailed you both and called you informing that I need to manage dad's company. Why are asking me that question again?" Steven said looking bored.

"Ok, fine. And hey, what's your name? " She asked.

"Oh, they're Trixie and Savannah." Steven pointed to us while introducing us to her. "Savannah, Trixie, that's our friend Jenina"

"Her parents are confused if they would name her Jenny or Nina. That's why she ends up with the name Jenina. Weird right? It suits her, because she's weird. She's always freaking out." -Justin. I don't know if I was just imagining things but they look like they're both annoyed with each other while Steven was just smiling and so is khyle.

"You should be thankful I'm not there. Because if I am, I wouldn't even think on shoving a knife down your throat, Buttface!!."-Jenina

"And waste your future, Thank you very much!!!" Justin said immediately.

"Hey, Savannah!!!" Jenina called my attention.

"Yes?" I answered wondering.

"If I were you, I would definitely stay away from that guy. Because, that guy holding your hand has intimacy issues." She said probably to make Justin more frustrated. Which I think she succeed.

"Go to hell, b***h!" Justin yelled at her that made khyle and steven burst out laughing.
