KABANATA 3

She waved her hand and winked at him. Gusto kong matawa dahil sa muka nitong halatang inis na inis sa mga sinabi niya rito. But I need to compose myself again cause a lot of people are watching me, I need to be demure and cutesy.

I turned around and searched for Naila’s face. Before I check my phone, I text Naila because I can’t see her anywhere. This bitch is hard to find.

Me:

Where are you?

Naila:

VIP Room girl. You’re ugly by the way, sorry dare kasi, lol.

The edge of my lip is twitching. This bitch! Siguro akala niya na hindi ko alam na nilalandi niya ang boyfriend ko a year ago. Well, siguro it’s time for me to get my sweet little revenge, I guess.

I never really trust them as my friend, since pina-plastic niya ‘rin naman ako, why not do the same right? Sumasama lang naman ako sa kaniya to gather some evidence that she and my boyfriend are having an affair behind my back.

Wala naman talaga akong pakialam, kasi that guy? I don’t care about him, he treats me like trash, I’ll treat him like trash too.

He thought maybe I didn’t know that they were having sex while I was busy with my photoshoots. Tanga na lang ang hindi makakapansin sa kaniya.

Hindi ako bulag at lalong hindi ako marunong magpakatanga. At ang hayop na lalaking yon, sa tingin niya hahabulin ko siya? Yuck, over my dead gorgeous body.

“Hi sis!” Bungad nito sa kaniya. May mawalak na ngiti, which I know na fake lang.

I give her a fake smile too. “Hi!” I greeted back sweetly.

Yumakap ito sa kaniya, at wala akong magawa kundi yumakap ‘din pabalik. Nang maghiwalay kami, patalikod na nandiri ako sa ginawa niya, kailangan ba talaga na hawakan siya?

Baka magka-germs pa siya sa ginawa nitong pag-hawak sa kaniya. I need alcohol right now! I forgot to bring my sanitizer with me, but maybe I have a sanitizer in my car, I hope so.

“Oh, hi! You’re Alicia right?” The woman with a black dress above the knee, said while pointing at me.

I nodded. “Yeah, I am.”

“You’re beautiful.” Komento ng may blonde hair na girl.

At mukang hindi pa ito nakuntento dahil lumapit pa ito sa kaniya at sinipat ang buhok ‘nya.

“And look, your hair is soft. Saan ka nagpapa-salon?” she asked and brushed my hair again.

Napangisi siya. “Secret.”

“Don’t be a gatekeeper, come on!” She exclaimed, looking desperate.

I was shocked when he shouted at me looking so desperate. No have dared to shout at her, even her father didn’t.

“Why do you need to shout at me?” I asked calmly, pero nagngingitngit na ‘ko, ayoko naman na susunduin ako ni daddy sa presinto kasi nakasuntok na naman ako ng useless person.

These freaking b*tch think na hindi ko siya papatulan? I rolled my eyes at them and that shocked them with my sudden attitude.

“Sam let’s her go!” Saway nung naka-dress na black. Mukang close sila huh?

I grinned and sneered at the looks of the woman who had scolded her. Napailing nalang ako, at piniling umalis kess maabutan ko ang sarili kong hinihila at kinakaladkad siya hanggang sa mapunit ang anit ng fake blonde hair ‘nya.

Sad to say, but mine is natural.

Tinalikuran ko na sila, at walang pakialam na umalis sa loob ng VIP room. I don’t care if VIP pa ‘yan. I can afford VIP naman ‘no.

Naka-simangot ako habang papalapit sa counter ng bar and slammed it. The hell I care if they let me out here, dad has a lot of connections, makakapasok ako dito kahit ayaw nila. And the hell I care about others, sarili ko ‘nga hindi ko ma-care tapos sila pa.

“Give me some hard wine!” I ordered. The bartender just nodded at her.

“Okay po ma’am.” He said.

I smiled sarcastically, and sat on the bar stool in front of the bar table. Naglibot ang mata ko hanggang sa napatigil ‘yon sa lamesa ng mga kalalakihan. Mga nasa lima sila sa iisang lamesa.

They all are handsome as fuck! Pero natigil ang mata ko sa isang lalaking tahimik na tinutungga ang kaniyang baso na may lamang alak.

Parang nags-slow motion ang buong paligid niya ng magtagpo ang mata nila. I gasped and turned my face back to the counter again, not minding if I accidentally hit the other glass in front of me. Gosh, why does he look like a freaking greek god?

“Fucking shit!” I whispered. I look at the man who is glaring at her now.

“Stupid!” Gigil na anito at mahigpit na hinawakan ang kamay niya. Dahil sa higpit ay nasasaktan na siya. Dahil sa inis ay tinabig niya ito at walang pagaa-atubiling sinampal ito.

“How dare you touch me like this! Sa susunod na hawakan mo ko ng ganito, sisiguraduhin ko kahit pag lapat lang ng mga kamay mo sa braso ko ay kakasuhan kita!” Gigil na sambit niya.

Ngumisi ito. Tinapunan siya ng tingin na mapanguyam, bago sinuri ang katawan niya mula ulo hanggang paa.

“Really, kung magyabang ka ah? Pinasukan ka na ata ng ibat ibang p―” to my surprise, he was cut because of a punch landed on him that made me stiff. Napatili ako ng masundan pa yon.

“Disrespecting a woman out of the rule bro.” gigil na sambit nito bago at hindi tinigilan ang pag suntok.

I keep on screaming cause I can’t move my feet, I was stiffened in my place. Hindi niya ito tinigilan at halos hindi na makilaka ang muka ng lalaki sa sobrang bugbog. I heard him saying some words that I can’t understand.

Imbis na maawa ay umikot lang ang mata ko sa lalaking nakalupagi na ngayon.

“Serves you right.” I said before facing the bartender who looks like he can’t process everything that happened in front of him.

“Hey,” pag agaw pansin niya dito, at napatalon ito ng bagaya sa kaniya.

“Ay ma’am, sorry.” I just nodded at him and looked at my back.

Muling lumapat ang mata ko sa table na yon kanina. They all look handsome and yummy, every person at that table has a dark aura like that man who rescued her kanina.

Bakit parang sila lang ata ang gwapo sa buong bar. Pero mas nakuha ng atensyon ko ay yung mala-dyos ng grego, na nagligtas ‘din sa kaniya.

Well, at least dagdag points. When I laid my eyes on him, I saw him licked is bottom lips that make him looks so fucking, hot. Hmm, what if…

I made him my toy?

I grinned. “I want him to be mine, to be my new toy. And I would do anything just to get that greek god handsomely man who rescued me.” She smirked wickedly.

Pinilit kong hindi lumingon kahit anong mangyari. Kanina pa ‘ko frustrated because I keep on thinking what happened earlier, and I’m affected by his presence.

I mean, maybe cause handsome, at hindi ko magawang maitanggi ‘yon. What happened earlier is the evidence that I don’t like ugly men with nasty behavior. Pangit na ‘nga, ang pangit pa ng ugali.

But this guy, as you can see, is every girl’s standard. Halos nasa kaniya na ata lahat, ang pagiging mabait, malaking biecep, matangkad at gwapo.

“Give me more.” I ordered. The bartender gave me another shot of mojito.

Fuck! Bakit parang hindi yata mahina ang alcohol tolerance ko? Gusto ko sana mag paka vulnerable tonight, tutal naman may knight in shining armor ‘sya today.

“Isa pa po ba madam?” The bartender asked when he saw that my glass was empty, matapos kong laklakin ang ng isahan. I nodded and he smiled at me before refilling my glasses.

“What is your name?” I asked, finally feeling dizzy.

I could still feel my surroundings, and I could still manage to ask the bartender the question. I'm really just curious since his kinda handsome.

“Dazh. I’m Dazh, madam.” He smiled. He keeps on smiling at me, hindi ba ‘sya napapagod ngumiti?

Medyo nanulis ang nguso ko at nangalumbaba para matitigan ng maayos ang bartender. I wanted to talk to someone right now, kasi baka mapanis ang laway ko kung mananahimik lang ako dito. And the only opportunity I saw is this bartender.
