Halloween... Date?

Jay-jay's POV

I've been dancing for a while and I'm still noticing. I can see it! I know the one behind me is dancing. The only thing I don't understand is why he is still holding my waist. I tried to pull away but I was surprised when he pulled me close to him and whispered.

"You danced too mischievously." He whispered that gave me a strange shock. "...You bumped into my dance partner." He added.

I was about to get out of his way but he suddenly turned me around to face him. I just saw who he was.

My hunch was right. KEIFER is just a flirty guy. He is now hugging my waist. I can't move and it's like I'm frozen again.

"W-where is your dance partner?" I changed the conversation.

"You bumped her, so she just left." He answered me.

I rolled my eyes to find the girl. I saw her sitting on a sofa and looking at me badly.

La! I didn't mean it!

She looks like the one I bumped into earlier without realizing it. I tried to separate her away from Keifer and I did.

"Call your dance partner." I ordered him.

Just be with your partner.

"Don't you want to dance with me?" He asked me teasingly.

I made him suffer. King of Snakes, he's the snake of whole Philippines, It's your time.

"Not anymore! Shame on your partner!" I answered annoyed.

The crook laughed a little and approached me. He held my hand and made me dance like a child.

I'm a bit embarrassed by what he's doing but it's okay. It's the dance floor, we all have our own dance steps. The truth is, I'm laughing at what he's doing to me. It's like I don't know how to dance and I still need his help.

"That's right... We're on our way." I said but Keifer didn't stop.

"I don't want to... I'm still dancing with you."

"Tsk! Keifer..."

"If I stop... Will you dance with me again?" It's a silly question.

There is probably nothing wrong and we are here again. Allow to cool before touching.

"Yes!" I answered him and let him go.

We went back to dancing and I was all over it again. It's up to me who I bump into. I even sing along while dancing. Feeling like I'm the only person on the dance floor. I felt the hand on my waist. I looked at it and saw Keifer. I just let him and maybe he was confused by me that's why he did that. We were still dancing when Keifer suddenly turned me around to face him while still holding my waist like before.

"Are you really look that naughty to dance?" He asked laughing.

"It depends on the music."

"Shh." He said while smiling.

Yes!

This is the first time he said that while smiling. He is often always angry or annoyed with me. I can repeat it to him so I can record it. What a waste of time. He was still holding my waist and looking at me. I avoided it, because it was strange. It's scary! Suddenly the song changed and changed to slow. I was about to face Keifer but I could feel his face just close to mine. His breath is hot but feels comfortable.

"Continue dancing?" He asked me.

I-I don't want to!

I feel so strange. This kind of dancing isn't for me—I'm not ready for it. Since I neither spoke nor moved, Keifer let go and gently took both of my hands, placing them around his neck. It had been a long time since I'd lost interest, watching people pass by, always restless, always longing to feel something.

I looked at him. "K-Keifer..."

"We're here... Let's make the most of it." He whispered to me.

He wrapped his arms around my waist again and began to move, so I followed. This wasn't unfamiliar—holding him close in secret, feeling his warmth. No matter how much I tried to hide it, my emotions kept slipping through. I avoided his eyes, afraid... afraid that if I looked, I wouldn't be able to look away.

I lowered my head, letting the music wash over me. I had never heard this song before, but it stirred something within me. Keifer leaned in slightly, his head resting near mine. I was a little surprised, but I couldn't deny the strange feeling it gave me.

🎶There's no answer to why you matter so much. There's no one like you. 🎶

Without thinking, my arms tightened around him, pulling him closer. I rested my head against his neck, inhaling his scent—a faint trace of cigarettes, but his natural scent was stronger, more intoxicating.

If there ever comes a morning I would like to hear you again.

Hear!

🎶 All I see is your smile

Change the room 🎶

I'm afraid to let go. I don't want the song to end and if only time could stop. This is how we are before the part returns to the brain of the kumag.

🎶 There is no match for you.

Whoever they are.

You are the sun in rainy days and in my cloudy mornings. 🎶

I will not deny it. I have a strange feeling for Keifer. But at the same time I admit to myself the fear. Fear of many things.

🎶 There is no answer to the question of why you are important.

There is no match for you 🎶

Suddenly, Keifer started singing the song, causing my heart to beat even faster. "There is no answer to the question of why you are important. There is no match for you, no matter who they are."

I'm afraid to let him know. I'm afraid if he finds out about my past. I'm afraid that Yuri might like me too and what happened to them will happen again. I'm afraid that he might like me too. But I'm more afraid that I might be rejected. My heart beat is getting stronger and faster. I didn't want him to hear that, so I moved away a little bit, but I was very surprised when he suddenly grabbed my neck and pushed me closer to him.

Deafening!

Not the music but the beating of my heart. He is the only one who can do this to me. And he was the only one who kissed me that shook my entire being. I tried to relax, I didn't want him to catch my feelings for him. But that was just a reason for him to deepen the kiss on me.

He slowly moved his lips. My lips seemed to have a mind of their own and went along with its movements. His kiss today is not the same as what Keifer did to me before in P.E.

Something is different!

🎶 There is no answer to the question of why you are important.

There is no match for you

There is no answer to the question of why you are important.

There is no match for you, no matter who they are

There is no answer to the question of why you are important.

There is no match for you, no matter who they are

There is no answer to the question of why you are important.

There is no match for you, no matter who they are

There is no answer to the question of why you are important.

There is no match for you, no matter who they are 🎶

He pulled away slightly so I took the opportunity to catch my breath. I want him to speak, I want him to say the meaning of what he did. But he remained silent.

"Eewww... Brother, why did you kiss that girl?"

After saying who. Reality slaps us so hard. Keifer and I immediately walked away and looked in another direction. I saw Ci-N, he was looking at me and smiling foolishly. Shit! I lost my mind that he was with us, of course he would see what we did.

"Let's go home brother." Said Keiran

It's like he was the one who spoke earlier before Keifer and I parted ways.

"Y-yeah... L-let's go home." He answered several times.

Suddenly, the atmosphere between us all became awkward. I can't look at Keifer.

"Ci-N and I are going home." I said before walking closer to the crooked wagas if he could smile at me.

"I saw that..." He whispered to me.

I looked at him badly.

Annoying!

I pulled Ci-N towards the exit of the event. Just as we were leaving, Keifer was leaving too We looked at each other. I immediately dodged and signaled them to go first.

"Y-you go out first." I said.

"N-no... Y-you go first." He answered me.

Suddenly, Keiren and Ci-N walked out.

"More art will come out." Keiren whispered but it was obvious that he was being heard.

We didn't speak anymore. We followed the two. Since we didn't have a car, Ci would have taken us straight to the taxi.

"J-jay..." Keifer called me. "...S-come with us."

I-I don't want to...

I want to say no, because... JUST BECAUSE! But the stupidity of Ci-N suddenly walked closer to Keiren.

"Let's go together... It's hard to ride for so long." He said.

I guess the boy doesn't notice! But he was right, it was late for us so it was difficult to ride.

So even I don't want to. "S-alright."

We walked to the parking lot. Kiefer brought a different car. It's not like when he always used it. Keiren opened the passenger seat to get in, but Ci-N suddenly picked up the child and forced him into the backseat.

"Here we are!" He said and forced Keiren into the backseat.

Even Keifer was confused by what he did.

I'm Ci-N!!

I was forced to ride in the passenger seat. I only look at the window. We are quiet. No one was moving and the only music we could hear was Keiren's snoring. He fell asleep. Ci-N was the first one we delivered. When I came down, Keifer was about to speak. But he was still silent. His mouth is closed and his focus is only on the road. Honesty at our gate. I don't know if I'm down or not Thank you first. I couldn't move and I wanted to hear what he had to say.

"J-jay.." Keifer broke the silence. I waited for what he had to say.

"...A-were there for you."

Pffffttt... I know! Don't you have anything else to say?

"Ahh.. o-yes. S-thanks for the delivery." I said and was about to open the door when I heard him whisper. "W-what is that?"

"Huh?" He asked.

"Huh?" I asked again.

"What is that?"

"I-I thought you said something." I answered.

"W-nothing.."

I just nodded and opened the door completely to go out. After I closed, Keifer suddenly came out and looked at me.

"G-goodnight..." He said.

You just came down to say goodnight?!

"Goodnight too." I greeted him back.

I walked into the gate. When I opened it, I was surprised when someone grabbed my arm and turned me to face him.

La! Why again?!

"W-what... W-because..." Keifer said.

Say it...

"Is there a problem?" I asked.

Suddenly he kissed me quickly on the forehead and ran back to his car. He immediately dragged it away.

I was left dumbfounded and confused.

Damn it! It's so strange to be thrilled!
