THE NEXT day, she and Eugene met again at Tipsy Talk, he was alone this time, unlike the other night. He looked so dashing as usual, wearing his light blue button-up shirt, pair with jeans and leather shoes. His hair was partly tousled, what makes him even sexier was the days-old stubbles that were intentionally left out.

He was looking at her and his eyes were urging her to seat beside him. Vodka felt like she was hypnotized and found herself walking in his direction. He was smiling while watching her getting closer and closer in his direction.

"Can I... join you?" she asked boldly and flinched when he held her hand and pulled her to the seat. He then offered her a drink.

"You love going here? Partying? Having a good time?" tanong ni Eugene malapit sa tainga ng dalaga upang marinig nito dahil sa ingay sa paligid.

She nodded and took a gulp of her drink. "What are you doing?" tanong ni Vodka nang biglang kuhanin ni Eugene ang kanyang baso, inilapag sa mesang nasa harapan nila at dumukwang palapit sa kanya. Nai-atras niya ang likod pasandal sa sofa.

Hindi siya nakagalaw nang unti-unting bumaba ang mukha ni Eugene sa kanya. Inilapit nito ang mukha sa kanyang buhok at suminghot na ikinatayo ng kanyang mga balahibo sa batok.

"The smell of your hair is billowing, it smells like... vanilla."

Biglang naitulak ni Vodka si Eugene dahil sa sinabi nito. Gustong manginig ng kanyang katawan ngunit pinigilan niya. How dare him do that to her?!

Hindi lumayo si Eugene, sa halip ay idinantay ang braso sa ibabaw ng sofa at umusog ng upo papalapit kay Vodka. Parang nakaakbay na ito sa dalaga.

It was a mistake sitting beside Eugene. Tatayo na sana si Vodka upang lumipat sa ibang puwesto nang pigilan siya nito. "Stay. Let's keep each other's company. I want to know you more."

"Me lo estas poniendo dificil."

"I'm making this hard for you?" kunot noong tanong ni Eugene. Strangely, he can understand what she heard. Maybe he studied Spanish before?

He looked at her face and frowned deeper when the beating of his heart went overdrive.

"Let's just drink and cleanse our brains," she muttered spiritlessly. Muli niyang dinampot ang kanyang baso at uminom.

NAPALINGON si Vodka sa kanyang likuran nang may sasakyang biglang tumigil roon. Magkasamang gulat at pananabik ang naramdaman niya nang makikilala kung kaninong sasakyan iyon. Lumabas si Eugene na nakangiti na ngayon sa kanya.

Dalawang araw na ng huli niya itong makita sa loob ng nightclub dahil sa loob ng mga gabing iyon ay hindi siya nagpupunta roon. She was currently busy with the restoration of her shop and at night she was too tired to party. She can't help but feel excited seeing Eugene in broad daylight in front of her shop.

Nasa labas siya ng building at tinitingnan ang exterior niyon. Iniisip niyang pananatilihin baa ng dating anyo sa labas ng kanyang shop o may babaguhin nang bigla itong dumating.

"What are you doing here?"

"Want to have lunch with me?" he asked instead of answering her question.

"I don't know." She wasn't sure if she can leave her shop. Marami pa silang kailangang gawin at hindi pa tapos ang construction ng shop.

"You can have her for the rest of the day." Sabay silang napatingin sa nagsalitang iyon. Vodka found her manager smiling at them widely. Pinanlakihan niya ito ng mga mata ngunit hindi nito pinansin ang babala niya. "Enjoy, boss," she was teasing her, she knew that she doesn't like to be referred to as, boss.
