Nakita ko kung paano ngumiti si John kay Alexa. Kitang kita sa mga mata n'ya na naaaliw s'ya. I knew Alexa too well. She wants to have sex with him. What a cunning bitch!

Tumayo ako pero parang may mga sarili naman silang mga mundo na ikanainis ko ng sobra. Malapit na akong magdabog nang maglakad ako palayo sa lamesa na iyon. Hindi ko alam kung bakit naiinis ako. Hindi naman bagay si Alexa at si John. Tsk.

Itinuon ko nalang ang atensyon sa ibang bisita na nakilala ko noon. Kahit papaano ay nabawasan ang pagkabad trip ko. Sumasabay akong tumatawa sa kanila at kinikilig pa dahil sa babae na nakasalo sa bulaklak at ang lalaki na nakasalo din sa garter ay inaasar nila nang may tumawag sa'kin.

It was John.

My heart beats rapidly and some people whom I laughed with earlier teased me. Sila naman ang nang-aasar sa'kin. Grr.

I took his hand firmly and rolled my eyes at him. He just grinned. 'Jerk!'

Embes na ako ang humila sa kan'ya ay mas nauna pa s'yang maglakad at hinila ako sa dancefloor at nagsimulang maglakbay ang kan'ya mga kamay sa bewang ko dahilan para mapatalon ako ng kaunti. Ganun din ang ginawa ko, marahan kong inilakbay ang aking mga kamay patungo sa balikat n'ya. Nagsimula na kaming sumayaw at dahan dahang nakisabay sa tono ng musika. The music gave the ambience a romantic style.

Hinila ako ni John papalapit sa kan'ya at idinikit ang noo sa'kin. Huminga s'ya ng gano'on din ako, para kaming nagpapalitan ng hininga. Pumikit ako at mas pinakiramdaman pa ang paghinga naming dalawa.

"Why were you avoiding me?" He whispered.

I opened my eyes and stared at him. "I wasn't." I moved my face away from him and avoided his gaze. "Stop flirting at Alexa. She's no good for you."

"Wrong words, baby. I didn't." He said and then smirked. "And finally, you're jealous. I've been waiting for it since then."

"I'm not!" I slapped his shoulder with my hand. "And what do you mean 'since then'?" Hindi ako tanga para hindi alamin iyon, maraming ibig sabihin iyon pero gusto kong malamana

He frowned and sighed, "tsk. Why couldn't you feel it, Emy?"

"What do you mean?"

"Ba't ang manhid mo? Ba't hindi mo naramdaman iyon? I was there, I did something to avert your attention from the other things and focus on me." He glared at me.

Tumahimik ako ng sandali. I feel like he just accused me of something and that made my heart break into pieces. I knew it. "Yeah, you had caught my attention, John. You cheated on Kim before. You did something bad by kissing a girl in the bar. Plus, you used me. You cheated, I cheated, we cheated but the thought of you kissing a girl in the bar, that made me think of you as a jerk, asshole, pervert and a cheater."
