Natsumi
"A very hands-on owner, I never thought you could combine your role as the university student president and being the owner of the university. One of a kind woman, Yuki."
"You seem to have a lot of words today, Jeriel?"
Honestly, I was just surprised when he suddenly spoke here next to me as I watched my fellow students dancing in front of me.
"Maybe because of the drink? High-class liquor. I should stop drinking. Just now I talked a lot, just for you.
I laughed at what he said. This is how alcohol affects him, a Jeriel Dizon becomes talkative.
"I think, you're right. I'm not used to you being talkative." I laughed telling him.
"Maybe that's the reason why he likes you. It's just stupid maybe not to fall for your smiles."
I looked at him meaningfully.
"I have courage, but I choose to stay quiet."
I just watched him leave. Does he want to say something?
In the corner of my eye, I saw a group of girls staring at me. Missy and her gang.
"The food is so cheap. What kind of party is this? You don't even have a taste for the food!"
"Yeah, so cheap."
And what more criticism do I hear from their group. Like, seriously? Aren't they that good when it comes to food?! The chef that cooked the food is Mrs. Tyson and other international chefs!
"So, the owner doesn't know how to choose delicious food?"
They were all close to me. In the right corner of my eye, I saw Jenthrix coming. Right timing.
They just keep on criticizing me as if I am not the owner of the university.
"Are you all done?" I lazily ask them. "First, I have the list of the most famous chefs in the world. Second, I'm the Student Council President and the owner of this University so better choose a proper word when you were talking to me. And third, back off bitches! " I told them coldly. I didn’t want to show my true nature to them but they were already crossing the line.
"Stop it!" they stopped rushing at me as Jenthrix approached me.
They were surprised by Jenthrix's sudden appearance.
"Let's go," he said and dragged me.
I stopped walking so Jenth stopped too. I looked at them again at Missy before speaking.
"One more thing. Those foods that you called cheap, are the dishes of international chefs that I hired and also Mrs. Tyson dish. Enjoy the party." I said sarcastically before continuing the walk with Jenth.
"What are we doing here?" I asked Jenth when I noticed we were in the middle of the dance floor.
"Let me be your first dance." smiling he said to me.
At the same time playing a sweet dance. All you can see now on the dance floor is a couple dancing to the tune.
Oh, oh I, I was a city boy
Riding to danger's where I'd always run above and is hurt
I wouldn't have done
All the things that I've done
If I knew one day you would come
We danced quietly, I don’t know but the effect of the man in front of me was different. I feel safe whenever I'm with him.
Now, baby, now, baby, now, baby
Oh, oh, oh, I, I know it breaks your heart
To picture the only one you wanna love
In someone else's arms, but I wouldn't have done
I look at his eyes. Those dark brown eyes hold a thousand emotions. Those eyes cry for a girl who chooses her career over this man in front of me.
All the things that I have done
If I knew one day you would come
Now, baby, now, baby, now, baby
Oh, baby, please, let's leave the past behind us
All I can see in his eyes right now are hope and love. That he's willing to do everything for that love that he wanted.
So that we can go where love will find us
Yeah, will find us
I know once girls would leave me
But I know that you believe me
Baby, I, I wish we were seventeen
So I could give you all the innocence
That you give to me
No, I wouldn't have done
All the things that I have done
If I knew one day you would come
If I knew one day you would come
When the song ended, he let me go.
"I'll see you again later ai," he said smiling and then left me in the middle.
After he left, a colleague of mine on the student council suddenly approached me.
"Lyle."
"Thank you for trusting us Ms. SC President." smiling he said as we danced.
After him, one of us on the student council and many others followed. Stenard also danced with me so much that I couldn't help but laugh as we danced and Jeriel didn't talk when we danced but I caught him looking at me. Then when I get caught him, he just looks in the other direction.
Now, I'm dancing with Kent.
"You're something, Natsumi. I never thought that you own this kind of university."
"You better believe it now."
I noticed that he had been looking at me.
"You want to tell me something?" I ask. All this time, he looked nervous.
"I don't know where to start but, I just want you to know that I like you."
We stopped dancing because of what he said.
Another person again fell for me.
"Why me?" I asked as I recovered from what he said.
"I don't know too."
"But--"
"I know. I don't have a chance on you. I can see that, Natsumi. It's better that I told you how I feel than that I regret that I didn't tell you how I feel." he said with a sad smile.
"I'm sorry." only I could say.
"No need to be sorry. You're not difficult to love. Just, let me love you. You don't need to love me back. I know that you already love someone. Be happy with him. I'm just here, I'll love you even if you don't love me back. " he smiled and told me then kiss my forehead at the same time.
"See you around." and he left me in the middle.
"Hime, are you alright?" I just came to my senses when KC asked me. Why is he here in front of me?
"May I dance our only baby girl?" he teased me.
I punched him lightly in the chest before I put my hand on his neck.
"Ouch, the weight of your hand is still there."
"Come on, it's just the weakness of my blow to you."
He just laughed as we danced. Our dance took a while before Zeke approached us.
"My turn now," he said and KC handed me to him.
"Seriously? Am I having again my 18 roses now?" they both laughed at me.
Zeke danced quietly at me, I'm not used to it. Usually, he chatters when I'm with him but now, he's quiet.
"I'm just always here, I'll support you in what you do." I looked at him when he suddenly spoke.
"What?"
"If I'm going choose, which side I'm going to choose. I'll choose to be on your side, even it means losing everything." smiling he said to me.
I suddenly hugged him because of what he said. I'm so lucky to have them in my life.
"If he makes you cry, I'll punch him in the face. We're the only ones who can make you cry," he whispered to me.
I couldn’t stop myself from punching him softly in the chest as I did with KC.
We both laughed because of what happened.
"Can I dance her again?" Zeke and I stopped laughing when suddenly someone spoke to our side.
I saw Jenthrix smiling genuinely at us.
"I said." he reminded before leaving and leaving me with Jenthrix.
"I'm the last person that will dance you tonight."
Jenthrix and I danced again.
You've been on my mind
I grow fonder every day
Lose myself in time
Just thinking of your face
God only knows why it's taken me
So long to let my doubts go
You're the only one that I want
He is always on my mind, no matter what I do he never disappears.
I don't know why I'm scared
I've been here before
Every feeling, every word
I've imagined it all
You'll never know if you never try
To forget your past and simply be mine
I'm scared for him, I don't want him to be involved in my chaotic world. But what else can I do? He has entered my world, my heart.
I dare you to let me be your, your one and only
I promise I'm worthy
To hold in your arms
So come on and give me the chance
To prove I am the one who can walk that mile
Until the end starts
If I've been on your mind
You hang on every word I say
Lose yourself in time
At the mention of my name
Will I ever know how it feels to hold you close
And have you tell me
Whichever road I choose you'll go?
But there is only one thing I am sure of. I want to gamble, gamble for him.
I looked him in the eye, I was no longer surprised to see him looking at me.
I don't know why I'm scared
'Cause I've been here before
Every feeling, every word
I've imagined it all
You'll never know if you never try
To forget your past and simply be mine
"What have you done to me, Jenthrix? Why don't you get out of my mind?"
He smiled at what I said.
"Are you falling in love with me too?" he asked with a smile.
I dare you to let me be your, your one and only
I promise I'm worthy, mm
To hold in your arms
So come on and give me the chance
To prove I am the one who can walk that mile
Until the end starts
I know it ain't easy giving up your heart
I know it ain't easy giving up your heart
Nobody's perfect
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart)
Trust me I've learned it
Nobody's perfect
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart)
Trust me I've learned it
Nobody's perfect
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart)
Trust me I've learned it
Nobody's perfect
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart)
Trust me I've learned it
So I dare you to let me be your, your one and only
I promise I'm worthy
To hold in your arms
So come on and give me the chance
To prove that I am the, one who can walk that mile
Until the end starts
Come on and give me the chance
To prove that I am the one who can walk that mile
Until the end starts
He just stared at me while waiting for my answer. Only one decision formed in my mind, and I will not regret it.
"All I know is, I want to gamble with you."
