Chapter 13

Lauren was already drunk and Kaizer didn’t know how to deal with her. After eating too many sweets, she then began drinking non-stop.

Tahimik lang itong umiinom kaya naman hindi alam ni Kaizer kung ano ba ang tumatakbo sa isip ng dalaga sa mga oras na ‘yon. Hindi niya ito pinigilan dahil baka magalit na naman sa kanya ang dalaga.

Nasa bar counter na sila naka-pwesto ng mga oras na ‘yon kung saan nasa harap lang nila ang isa sa mga bartender.

Nakikipag-asaran pa sa kanya si Lauren kanina, ngunit matapos uminom ng ilang basong wine ay bigla na lang itong tumahimik. She had this seriousness on her face that made Kaizer unconsciously watched her. Mahirap na at baka kung ano pa ang mangyari kay Lauren.

Kaizer looked at her intently.

If he only knew that she has a low alcohol tolerance, he wouldn't let her drink any alcohol. He would have ordered some fruit juice instead.

Lauren shifted her gaze at him and smiled. But Kaizer knew that it's not a happy smile.

Sadness.

Longing.
