Kalinna Linnea:
Hey! I know I promised I'll return your hanky today
Can I return it tomorrow instead?
Caihzer Letran:
Sure, no worries
I slid my phone back to my small bag and hurriedly chugged my drink. Medyo nahihilo na ako pero kaya ko pa naman. Unlike Micah and Ivi who are now dancing wildly on the dance floor.
They were grinding their asses, moving their hips while playing with their hair to the beat of the music.
Si Ry naman ay nasa balcony, calling his loml through phone. God! These lovers! But they're both adorable tho. Sana magtagal sila. Whatever makes them happy.
"Saan na ba 'yang kasama mo, Camden?" tanong ni Dian matapos ilapag ang bote ng Bacardi. Nakailang shot na kami pero hindi pa rin dumadating 'yong kasama ni Camden. He informed us kanina na may isasama raw siya - his cousin.
Camden who was busy with his phone, lifted his gazed. "He's on his way. Something urgent came up and he needed to fix it"
"Gwapo ba 'yan?" I laughed at Dian's question. Siraulo talaga 'tong babaeng 'to.
"In my honest opinion, I'm twice as handsome as he is" agad naman siyang binato ni Dian ng crumpled tissue. Sapol 'yon sa mukha ni Camden na tawa lang ng tawa.
"What? I'm serious!" he said in between his laughs.
"Sinungaling ka! Hindi kami uto-uto!" tugon sa kanya ni Dian.
Tumayo ako at nagpaalam sa kanila na pupunta sa kabilang table para i-welcome pa ang mga bagong dating.
I have a lot of friends. And when I say a lot, I mean it. Halos lahat ng nandito ngayon sa bar ay kaibigan ko. Few of them are just acquaintances. Kumbaga kakilala ko lang pero we're not that close. Hindi naman big deal sa 'kin 'yon, anyone is welcome sa party na ito.
"Hey, Kali! Welcome back! Ano? Nakamove on na ba? Okay na ba puso mo?" Crizza, a model friend of mine, asked.
"Absolutely yes!" tugon ko sa kanya.
She handed me a glass of liquor which I immediately took it. "So, are you considering ulit being in a relationship?"
Honestly, I have been asking that also to myself for how many days now. Alam kong okay na ako. I am more than hundred percent sure na I've moved on pero that doesn't mean that I'm ready to enter a new relationship.
I'll focus on my self muna and ofc, my babies - my restaurants.
"Nope" I answered her and smiled.
Her forehead creased. "Why? Sayang naman. May irereto sana ako sa 'yo"
"If that's another Braylon, then I don't want it. Hard pass" I laughed and raised both of my hands.
After that chitchat, I hopped to another table. Lumipas ang ilang minuto, halos napuntuhan ko na lahat ng table kaya't naisipan ko na bumalik na table namin.
Mariin akong pumikit nang magsimulang maging blurry ang paningin ko. I admit it, I'm a little bit tipsy now. Nakailang baso rin kasi ako kada table. Nonetheless, I've made it to our table.
"Hoy, Kalinna! Punyeta! Lasing ka na ba?!" salubong sa 'kin ni Dian nang makaupo ako.
"Wag mo nga akong sigawan!" bulyaw ko sa kanya.
"Girl bar 'to! What do you expect?! Magbubulungan tayo rito?! And besides, lumalalim na ang gabi!" tinanguhan ko lamang siya. I held my head back for a while and closed my eyes.
