Anatomy of an Heiress

Chapter 05

I was laughing with Yonna nang tawagin ako ni Don to chug. Pumunta ako sa gawi nila at linaklak ang alak na dumiretso sa lalamunan ko. Matapos ang five seconds, napangiwi ako sa pait. Pagsisisihan ko 'to bukas, puta.

Napahiyaw ako at kinuha ang chaser na hawak ng isang blockmate nina Don para mawala ang pait sa panlasa ko. Maya-maya ay lumapit na sa akin si Alyonna at tinatanong kung okay lang ako. "Kaya mo pa ba na umuwi? Baka mamaya pagalitan ka ni Papa mo," she said, concerned. Umiling-iling lang ako habang naglalakad pabalik sa kinauupuan namin ni Yonna. Maya-maya ay may lumapit sa akin, mukang tropa rin nina Don.

"Hey, you owe me something." He said and sat down beside me. Alyonna was talking to someone on my other side. "Bakit? Sino ka bang poncio pilato ka?" I said and rolled my eyes pero agad din nagsisi dahil lalo lang akong nahilo.

"Well, I might be the owner of the cup you are holding right now," sagot n'ya at ngumiti ng maliit. "I'm Luigi by the way." He introduced himself at pinresenta pa ang kamay n'ya sa harap ko. Nakatingin lang ako sa malayo habang iniinom ang laman ng baso na hawak ko."Okay." Pagsuko n'ya at ibinaba na ang kamay n'ya.

Sumandal ako sa couch at nakapako ang tingin sa isang tao. "How would you know kapag nagseselos ka?" I asked out of the blue. I was supposed to say it inside my head, why the hell did I say it out loud? Wala na, tangang-tanga na talaga ako.

"Oh, I see." Luigi nodded and leaned on the couch too, he was also looking at the same person I was staring at. "You know, I also don't know. I don't date. I didn't peg you for the dating type though," He said and looked at me. I stopped staring at the person I was looking at and looked at Luigi instead. "I guess that makes the two of us," I chuckled and left him there.

I sighed heavily and sat on one of the stools in the bar area of the penthouse. I got one bottle of Smirnoff Mule from the freezer and opened it. Maya-maya ay napagdesisyunan kong magsayaw para magpahulas. Pakiramdam ko ay nasusuka na ako pero nilalabanan ko pa rin. Ayaw ko na umuwi.

I felt someone hold me by the waist. Sa kalasingan ko ay hindi ko na pinansin. Nagpupumiglas ako so I can dance some more.

"Tiarra, iuuwi na kita." I heard the voice of Asher... I think?

"Ayaw ko umuwi, I'll go to Yonna's condo na lang! I can wait for her!" Sigaw ko kasi ang lakas ng tugtog at tawanan.

"You can't even get yourself together," the voice told me in the most caring way possible. I sighed and gave up. I looked at the person who owns the caring voice.

"Take me to Alyonna's condo, not the house! I can't go there like this!" Mataray kong sabi at iniwan s'ya doon para kunin ang bag ko malapit sa kinauupuan ni Alyonna. "Pasaan ka? Sandali lang, huy!" Habol sa akin ni Alyonna habang mabilis akong naglakad palabas ng penthouse.

"I'll take her to your unit." Rinig kong sabi ni Asher bago ako maglakad palayo. Hindi ko alam kung saan ako pupunta, basta naglalakad lang ako. Ramdam kong umiikot ang mundo.

Punyeta, sabi nila may gravity?

Naririnig ko na ang yabag ni Asher na palapit sa direksyon ko, I am now walking slowly dahil nakaheels ako at baka matalisod lang ako dahil sa sobrang hilo. "Saan ka ba pupunta?" Tanong ni Asher na iritang-irita habang nakakasunod na sa paglalakad ko.

"Hindi ko na rin alam, nasaan na ba ako?" I asked him and laughed. He held my arm and put it around his neck. He directed me towards a different direction.

"You were going in circles, lady." He said with a hint of irritation in his voice.

His manly scent enveloped my thoughts. I shook my head to clear it out and walked properly as much as I can. I didn't want to bother Asher anymore, he looked pissed already.
