CHAPTER 21: L-University Ball part II
1072 Words
Travis Keil POV
The night was really beautiful. I just got angry because almost all the men here at the event were salivating while looking at Eunice.
Because she looks sexy and hot. She wore a dress with the whole back open, there is a hole in the chest and the length of the slit in her left leg is too high.
Ayaw kong nababastos siya ng mga kalalakihan. She is still my wife. Just who the fvck invented that kind of clothes?
The music changed and what they played is Terrified by Katharine McPhee ft. Zachary Levi.
I grabbed Xyra's two hands and wrapped it around my neck and I put mine to her waist. We slowly dance, jiving the music.
...
You by the light is the greatest find
In a world full wrong you're the thing that's right
Finally made it through the lonely to the other side
You said it again, my hearts in motion
Every word feels like a shooting star
I'm at the edge of my emotions
Watching the shadows burning in the dark
And I'm in love
And I'm terrified
For the first time and the last time in my only life
...
"Ang ganda ko tonight noh?" Pagbasag ni Xyra sa katahimikan.
"Don't assume dahil hindi." Sagot ko naman. Maasar nga ang isang to.
"Grabi ka naman sakin. Sabi nila ako daw pinaka-angat ngayong gabi." Confident na tugon niya.
"Then, they're just sugar coating it." Saad ko naman.
Well, napakaganda niya naman talaga. God knows how much I would love to say it to her, but my ego is stopping me. Dapat lang dahil nagsuot siya ng ganyang klase ng damit. For my eyes only lang dapat. Sino ba kasing pinapagandahan neto ngayon!
"Talaga ba?" Tanong niya at aba, pinalungkot pa ang boses.
And why the fvck am I affected?!
"Tssskkk." Tanging tugon ko.
"Hindi ba talaga ako maganda tonight? Sabi ko na nga ba-" I cut her off.
"You're fine..." I spoke.
"Anong you're fine na sinasabi mo?" Tanong niya.
"Reklamo ka ng reklamo kung maganda ka. And ayos lang. I mean pwedi na...aishhh stop asking me." Maktol ko.
"Uy, aminin...nagagandahan ka sakin ayaw mo lang sabihin noh?" Pangungulit nya.
"Asa!" Tanging sagot ko naman.
"Sige nga, tingin ka nga sakin ng deretso at sabin mong hindi ako maganda." Paghahamon niya. Iniba ko kasi ang tingin ko.
I did not listen to her kaya gamit ang dalawang kamay n'ya, pinaharap nya ako and now we are staring at each other.
Our eyes met at tila nangungusap. Sobrang ganda niya. Her perfect nose line, mahabang pilik mata at kissable lips. Ang inosente ng mukha niya.
"Say it, Trav." Mahinahon niyang tugon.
"You're beautiful." I answered.
"Really?" Paninigurado niya.
"Yes. You're the most beautiful, gorgeous and sexy woman tonight." I responded with sincerity.
"Eh bakit ang OA mo kanina? Papabihisin mo pa ako!" Maktol na tugon niya.
"That's because you're too sexy para sa kanila. And that view should be for my eyes only. Kung hindi pa ako napigilan nina Maxwell kanina, wala ng mga mata halos lahat ng lalaki dito. Makatingin sayo..." Mahabang reklamo ko.
"Pffff don't worry my dear husband, hindi na ako magsusuot ng ganon." Natatawang tugon niya.
...
You said it again, my hearts in motion
Every word feels like a shooting star
I'm at the edge of my emotions
Watching the shadows burning in the dark
And I'm in love
And I'm terrified
For the first time and the last time in my only life
...
Bakit ang cute ni Xyra?! *Lub-dub. Lub-dub. Lub-dub. * What's wrong with my heartbeat?!
Nagtitigan na naman kami and dahan-dahang pinaglapit mga mukha namin hanggang magkadikit na ang tungki ng ilong namin.
The music is perfect enough for this moment. I don't understand myself right now but one is for sure, I am genuinely happy to share this dance with her tonight and have her as my first dance.
I really can't hide the fact that I would love to kiss her tonight, but I respect her. I shall do that when the perfect and right time comes. So, instead, I kiss her on her forehead.
Damn! This woman has this unexplainable effect on me. Whatever happens, I will protect her and when I'm sure of what I feel for her, I'll definitely won't let her go and make this thing between us, for real.
Just right after the kiss, the music stops and the person on stage got our attention.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the moment that we all have been waiting for, our special guest for tonight's event, the woman behind the peace and have proven her generosity through charities, the one and only Phoenix Master, the sexiest and deadliest beauty, let's all welcome, Lady Phoenix!" Emcee welcomed the especial guest.
It is really true na andito nga siya. Ang babaeng hinahanap namin dahil sobrang close daw niya sa mga Scorpios. We have to win her trust for our mission. Dahil sila ang makakatulong sa amin.
This is also the very main reason kung bakit kami narito. Her identity and life are too private and even all the organizations and Mafias are having difficulty looking for her and any information regarding her. Kaya nakakapagtaka naman na bigla siyang lalantad at magpakilala. We have to be very careful.
"Tss... A fake will always be a fake!" Bulalas ni Xyra na narinig ko. What does she mean by fake?
"What fake are you talking about?" I asked her. She seems surprised with my question.
"Ano, kasi- ahm yong fake yong damit niya! Oo, parang peke kasi." Sagot niya which I don't believe.
"How did you know it was fake?" I asked her again.
"Huh? Ano kasi, you know ahm may alam naman ako sa mga dresses and ahm-" hindi ko siya pinatapos pa dahil sobrang halata nya kapag nagsisinungaling.
"Don't try to lie, hindi bagay sayo and sobrang halata ka. Now tell me, what is fake?" I asked again, seriously.
"Excuse me?! Can we talk to Eunice for a moment?" Her friend suddenly came in and it interrupted me & Xyra.
"Sorry, Trav. Let's talk later or some other time. Let's go Made." Tugon ni Xyra saka tumalikod at naglakad palayo.
Bakit mo nasabing fake ang nasa stage ngayon, Xyra? Anong alam mo? Or sino ka ba talaga?
