I looked at myself in the mirror of the fitting room. I am now wearing a black pencil skirt and a red hanging blouse. Long sleeves ito at hindi din masyadong kita ang tiyan ko kaya ayos lang. But the skirt?
It's three-inches above the knee!
Nakalugay ang buhok ko and Sabrina applied light makeup on me a while ago. Luckily, she didn't make me wear heels but only sandals.
Hindi ko talaga alam kung paano niya ako napilit na magsuot ng ganito. Well, it's not my first time to wear this kind of clothes. Nagsuot na ako ng ganito noon but that was a long time ago.
"Cleo, are you finish?" I heard Sabrina asked.
"Sandali lang!" I answered while still staring at myself. Is this really me?
"Oh c'mon! You have been there for almost ten minutes now."
Hindi na ako sumagot at napabuntong hininga na lang. Mukhang ako na lang ang hinihintay nila and I can't stay here forever.
Well, I'll wear this only for today. Just for today.
Binuksan ko iyong pinto ng fitting room at humakbang palabas. Hindi ako yumuko dahil hindi naman ako nahihiya at mas lalong hindi mababa ang self-confidence ko. It's just that, I'm not used on wearing this kind of clothes.
It makes me uncomfortable.
"You! Who are you?!" Sabrina asked while looking at me with widened eyes. "Where's my best friend Cleo?!"
"You are exaggerating."
"I'm not!" sambit niya. Then she grinned. "You look gorgeous! Right, guys?"
Tumingin ako doon sa dalawa. They are both staring at me but also looked away when I looked at them. Napatikhim si Slade at tumango-tango.
"Y-yeah."
Sabrina smirked then turned to Zeus. And when I looked at him, malawak ang ngiti nito. It's not her usual 'manyak' smile but more like an amazed one.
"May mas ipapangit ka pa pala?" pang-aasar niya and my lips parted.
"Anong sabi mo?"
"Bawal ulitin sa bingi."
I just hissed and glared at him. Tumawa lang si Sabrina at doon ko napansin na ang ganda din niya sa suot niya. Maganda naman talaga siya pero mas magpaganda sa kanya iyong suot niya.
She's wearing a red fitted dress. It's sleeveless and more daring than mine. She looks gorgeous. Same with the boys.
"So, let's go?"
Tumango lang kami sa tanong ni Slade at nagpaalam na. We literally didn't pay anything and that's a relief for me. Pero balak ko din namang isauli itong damit pagkalabas namin sa bar.
It only took us few minutes to reach the bar they are talking about. May eskinita kaming pinasukan bago marating iyong mismong entrance ng bar.
"Ready?"
We just nodded at Slade's question. Nauna siyang lumapit sa mga bouncer na nagbabantay habang nakasunod si Sabrina.
"Dito ka lang sa tabi ko."
I looked at Zeus when he said that and held my left arm. He pulled me closer to him and I didn't resist. Nakangiti pa din naman siya pero ramdam ko ang pagka-alerto niya.
Gano'n ba kadelikado ang mga bar?
The bouncers checked us from head to toe. Muntik pang mapataas ang kilay ko nang mapatagal ang tingin nila sa bandang legs namin ni Sabrina. But the boys stood in front of us and pulled us inside. Hinayaan lang naman kaming makapasok ng mga lalaking iyon.
