Chapter 4 STRANGER

There was a party going on in the resort hall, full of people and a live band singing on the stage while others cheered, while others drank and ate at each table.

The young people went down and they looked for an empty table and ordered food and drinks.

"Oh there huh, I answer all your food and drinks. I hope you all choke. Hahahaha." Jhun Mark made a joke.

"We love you, JM. Mwuah, Mwuah, sup. Hahahahaha" Simultaneous teasing of his friends.

"Ah, there will be a party tonight with live bands and fire dancing after the session later." Rigor said with the other waiters who were busy serving various types of wine.

"It's really fun here at the resort." Jhun Mark responded while knocking over a bottle of the red horse. They all sat at a table with a case of the red horse, juices, noodles, French fries, etc. finger foods.

"CHEERS," They drank one after the other and they were getting it right with each sip of wine.

Marielle's cheeks are already flushed red, while Marvin, Jonathan, and Jhun Mark are still not going to give up drinking.

Despacito was sung by the vocalist and was shocking. Everyone's eyes were burning as they watched the people dancing on the stage and in all directions.

"Come on, let's dance" Jhun Mark greeted his colleagues. She was already feeling bored and she wanted to have fun that night.

"Yeah come on." May went with him, and they both danced, and Jonathan followed. Alejandro and Marielle looked at each other as if waiting to see if they would dance or not.

"You want to dance?" Alexander asked shyly.

"Sure." AJ supports Marielle and they dance hand in hand on the dance floor. While. Dianne and Marvin, on the other hand, were left in the chair, obviously not getting along well in how they would pay attention and talk. Every time their eyes meet, they just avoid each other as if they don't know each other until Marvin can no longer bear their awkward situation....

"Are you okay? Aren't you dizzy? " Marvin asked still unable to look into Dianne's eyes.

"I'm fine. Thanks" the weak answer of the girl who looked happy with what she said.

Suddenly the song changed it was replaced by a love song.

I still remember yesterday, we were so in love ............

At once they turned to the source of the voice.

The vocalist of the live band sang their theme song Before I let you go on stage.

Marvin immediately stood up and held out his hand to Dianne.

"Shall we?

Dianne sighed at what she heard, especially with the handsome young man in front of her. He swallowed, not knowing why his heart jumped when he saw her eyes again.

"Sure," he exclaimed.

They stepped closer to the stage and there danced sweetly. Dianne placed her hands on Marvin's shoulders while he held her waist even though there was a little distance between Dianne and Marvin. She could see the smiles on his lips. At first, chances are they stare longer eye to eye.

Marvin's smile brought a strange warmth to Dianne's heart, a smile as if they hadn't seen each other for years. They met again it was so eager.

On the other hand, Marielle and Alejandro were also dancing, the girl could feel its presence. She could smell the smooth scent. It was the reason why Marielle woke up in the little dream, once again her nervousness returned with a thrill and pleasure that couldn't explain. She learned how to fall in love with him... .and she can't even control this weird kind of feelings toward him.

And I want you here....

Hold me closer and closer... .tigthened your body......

I wanna feel you....

I wanna feel you near ......

Whine up (3x) oh yeah...

The little fantasy of their love ended as the song changed and they returned to the table, May and Jhun Mark still dancing. Looks entertained with each other and intoxicated with wine. Any endearment was partially cut off and Marvin, Dianne, Marielle, and Alejandro were busy with their three American tourists who soon found out that they were also guests at the resort 2 days before they arrived and were able to check in. They met and talked kindly even though their accents were quite deep.

The friends did not notice how far Jonathan had come. She is on the other side of the dance floor and there she enjoys dancing with people she doesn't know.

When Jonathan suddenly confronted him he was suddenly startled when a bulk appeared in front of him. A tall, brunette woman wearing a floral cocktail dress and grinding several times following the rotation of her body along with the twitching of her waist.

He didn't keep his mouth shut and just kept gaping. After all, he was so attracted to the beautiful woman who was now dancing in front of him. The woman looked at him, Jonathan staring intently across it, with beautiful black eyes, a sharp nose, black and long hair, a smooth face, and naturally red lips along with its shapely bottle body. "Gorgeous. Are his eyes just deceiving him?

"Hi, Are you a tourist here?" The woman asked.

Jonathan sniffed the scent of her hair. He felt he had taken one step to heaven because of that.

"Yes, '' he answered a bit stupid. Look like he was out of his mind. It was as if he were seeing a goddess on a paradise island.

"You?' he asked the woman as if he were not himself.

"Me? I am a resident of this area. Hehe," the woman laughed. She noticed that the man seemed to be making fun of her.

"If you are a tourist... welcome to our town and welcome to paradise island."

"Ha-"

Before Jonathan could react fully, the woman's face suddenly fell on him, and a miracle happened. The woman kissed him. He was thrilled. He taught he was blushing and looked like he was going to explode.

"I'm Jobelle Ann Y. Atendido." The woman held out her hand.

"I... ..i'm Jonathan Jay-R Bustos." He took the girl's hand and kissed her tenderly.

"Is it okay with you if we both dance?" Jonathan asked shyly as his cheeks continued to blush.

"Of course."

"No one gets angry?"

"Nothing. Hahahaha" both looked at each other a bit sticky while laughing at the same time. A few more minutes passed and they began to dance. Jobelle clasped her hands around Jonathan's neck and continued to sway their bodies to the accompaniment of the music. The heat from that dance crept all over Jonathan's body even more as his eyes hit the girl's healthy breasts as she continued to balance.

"Oh my God, my mind is already demonized." He said to himself. He shook his head and focused only on dancing to resist the temptation.

He didn't know why he felt that way, he was confused again but also suddenly wiped out when he realized his brother and friends. Jonathan stopped dancing for a moment and talked to Jobelle.

"Hey, Can I introduce you to my friends? "

"Isn't it embarrassing?" Jobelle's cheeks blushed.

"No! it's alright. Come on. " Holding hands, they went to the table where Jonathan's friends were.

His friends saw him again, and he was shocked to see that he had a woman with him.

"Well Guys let me introduce to you Jobelle Y. Atendido, she is from here in Pangasinan."

"Hi" the girl gently shook hands. And Dianne seemed to look straight at Jonathan as well as the rest of their teammates.

"Wow, the woman is a brown Filipina. " Alejandro said.

"Yeah, she is beautiful." Marielle followed.

"So ......... What is between you? Jhun Mark asked while smiling.

"She's ...... .ahm ...... .acquiantance ...... .. Jonathan stammered.

" I am sorry but... I go ahead because it is almost midnight so they might be looking for me together." Jobelle shyly let the crowd know.

"Wait I go with you, I take you... because it is not safe for you to go home alone at midnight like this..you are still a woman." Jonathan sighed as his eyes stared at his face.

"Yes, maybe if Ms. Jobelle. It's ok if you two go ahead. " Jhun Mark permitted Jonathan.

"All right... stop making yourself feel dork. Haha "replied Alejandro.

"Crazy. All right, thank you." Jonathan was laughing.

"Can I take you to your house?" Jonathan asked.

"O-oo okay." Jobelle agrees.

The two of them turned slightly to leave.

"Dianne was supposed to talk to her brother but Jhun Mark blocked her.

"Just chill Dianne, Jonathan isn't doing anything wrong besides a gentleman's way of delivering a woman to his own house. Let your sister go first, I think it's only now that I can love her again. "Said Jhun Mark who seemed to calm down and stopped Dianne from speaking.

That's right. Now that his brother is with a woman again, Diane remembers that when they were in high school, Jonathan had a girlfriend. First and last until graduation but they separated before they could go to college and he hadn't heard of any other woman being courted or crushed by Jonathan but to focus on studying and joining his teammates on the swimming team.

"Bye," simultaneous waving of the hands of the barricades in the distance: Jonathan and Jobelle near the main gate of the resort.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, two men are located on the upper part of the terrace talking intensely while drinking champagne.

"Looks like you have a lot of guests Mr. A. " the man with large eye specs said as he twists a goblet in his hand. "Yes !!! but don't worry the percentage of your share with me is still large." Mr. Asuncion replied while drinking champagne.

"It should be." The male response.

"I'll give you the bread and you'll give me the butter. Make sense. Hahaha "Mr. A spoke again while happily watching in the lower part of the hall the people celebrating the party as well as the barricades sipping wine with the foreigners who are also guests at the resort.

"Cheers, friend!" Mr. Asuncion said.

"Cheers!" response of his interlocutor.
