The DJ changed the tune into something dirtier. Lalong nagkagulo ang mga tao sa dance floor. Some spectators, including Rachel, grabbed a partner and joined us kaya lalong nagkadikit ang mga katawan namin ni Jacob to give space to the newcomers. I can feel the pad of Jacob’s fingers trailing across my spine. May pag-aalangan sa mga actions niya. Halatang nangangapa sa kung ano ang puwede at hindi puwedeng gawin. I could have told him to hold me tighter and bring me closer. Or that he could put his hands on my waist or be more daring and caress my thighs. Not this tentative hold he has on me. I didn’t say anything. I don’t feel like being accommodating to any man right now. I just smiled, closed my eyes, and drowned myself in the dance. Pumasok sa isip kong baka ma-awkward-an pa siya lalo
