Chapter 10As we continued walking, I didn't realize that we had already arrived at the park. There were only a few people around, mostly couples. The night lights hanging on the trees were lit, creating a romantic ambiance.We kept walking until we found an empty bench. It was perfect because we had been walking for quite some time, so I suggested that we sit down."Señorito, let's stay here for a while." I instinctively pulled the Señorito towards the bench, and luckily, he followed, holding my hand as we walked. When I saw myself and the Señorito sitting on the bench, I didn't notice that we were sitting so close together.We spent a few minutes just staring at the dark water of the lake in the park. My feet no longer hurt, so I thought about asking the Señorito if we should go home if we couldn't find Clara. He was slightly squinting his eyes because of the lights, so I closed my eyes a bit to avoid being blinded.My eyebrows furrowed when I noticed that the Señorito seemed preocc

Chapter 12"You're just going to pee, but you're holding your stomach? Does your stomach hurt?" I just laughed and pulled her towards the table since the boys were already seated one by one."Never mind all the things you're noticing. Let's go before Clara beats us to the good seats when she comes back." I held her by the arm and pulled her away from where we were standing. It would be bad if ghosts appeared while we were chatting here, right?So, this was the seating arrangement at our round table: Clara, then Miggy, then Xhea, followed by Marco, me, Señorito, Kyo, and Kia."Where should we start the shots?" Kia asked."I have an idea to make it fair. Let's spin the bottle to determine who goes first," Xhea replied."Why don't we let Señorito go first since this is his first time tasting lambanog?" Marco suggested. I don't know if I'm overthinking or if there's something different in Marco's tone. Is he annoyed with Señorito? But why? Based on my knowledge of Marco, he doesn't get an

Chapter 14"What's going on?" I asked confused."Just take a moment, Lena." Richard told me so I also stopped walking but I was really embarrassed because people were already cheering inside and outside the gym. I hear them teasing me, repeatedly calling my name as well as Larry's name."What's wrong? Why is Larry here?" I asked myself, which was answered immediately because he suddenly appeared out of nowhere."Lena." He called me."Larry." I also noticed that Richard had returned to his companions in the back."What's up?" I asked him wondering."Lena, I want to ask you a question." He answered me seriously. I'm really surprised because I know Larry who is friendly and joking, I wouldn't have thought of the serious tone of his voice."Uhm, okay. What's that? But I just don't understand why it's still here... because I'm embarrassed.""I just wanted to ask if..." He answered me and then he looked at his companions behind him, I just noticed that it looked like they were holding cardb

Chapter 16"What are you doing?" He asked me a little irritated and then he quickly turned his gaze to our hand holding. I felt my whole face heating up and for sure I was blushing again, good thing it was dark so he wouldn't notice."Urgh, my hand is rough, Señorito." I said to him worriedly, and then I tried again to take my hand back from his grip but that's when he tightened his grip again and even though I tried several times to loosen his grip, he didn't really let go."Señorito..." "You'll just waste your energy, Selena." And then he continued to walk so I was also pulled. When we finally arrived in front of my mansion I suddenly remembered."Señorito." I called him but he didn't seem to hear me because my voice was so weak, we continued walking until we reached the main door of the mansion."Señorito!" This time I raised my voice, I stopped the Señorito from walking and then he turned to me with a frown and then said –"What?" Am I overthinking again or is Señorito getting an

Chapter 18"I saw you with Marco, outside the mansion. Seems like you had an argument with him. Is that why you're crying?" Is it just me or is the Señorito's tone of voice really worried? I was even surprised when he raised his two hands and using his thumb, he wiped the tears that were left behind my eyes."Señorito."I'm just here for you. You don't need him, if he just makes you cry." The Señorito told me and then he brought his face closer to mine, I closed my eyes and waited for what he would do next."Are you sure you're okay?" The Señorito asked me as he stopped his Wrangler jeep in front of our house. I nodded one after the other but I didn't bother to look at him."Alright. Have a nice rest of your night, Selena.""You too, Señorito." And then I hurriedly got off Señorito's jeep. I didn't even bother to look behind me when I finally got inside our yard, until I heard Señorito's car pulling away. Sigh.It's dark and quiet inside our house, Mom and Dad are fast asleep and I lo
