Tilting the Hourglass

Chapter 3

I woke up with a massive headache the next morning. I was busy holding to the comfort of my pillow when I remembered what happened at the club!

I abruptly sat on bed with and gently removed my silk eyemask. "Fuck!"

I looked around to check where I am and to my delight, I saw the familiar vintage photos that are still sticking on the wall.

I am in my room. That's a relief.

I immediately wondered how I got here. I looked for my phone and saw that it was hidden under my white comforter.

I opened my messenger and saw all of the unread messages.

Trey: Gising mga lasing!

Lynne: Gising mga malalanding pumapapak ng labi ng 'di kakilala!

Amybeth: Hahahaha

Milo: Ayaw pa bitawan kagabi eh HAHAHAHA

I shut my eyes with what I've read, embarrassed of what I did last night. Grabe ang mga kaibigan kong ito. I stretched my arms and stared at the sunlight that is peeping in my room through my window.

Then I typed on my phone.

Serena: Move on please.

Lynne: Wow. Laplap and forget ang peg.

I closed my phone when I read how ridiculous their replies are. They won't let it pass! Naku! It's not like I'll meet the guy again!

The guy. The adonis one. Grabe! I unconsciously touched my lips. Parang ramdam ko pa iyong halik niya kagabi.

If only I could kiss him again, I would and this time, I would gladly touch his body while doing so..

"AAAAhH!" I screamed when I realized what I was thinking. I buried my face on my pillow, giggled and flopped my feet.

I'm going to hell because of that stranger!

It took me a couple of minutes before I dragged myself in my bathroom. I took my bamboo toothbrush and began brushing my teeth.

I was blankly staring at the mirror when I realized something. "No shit!" I yelped.

I have a huge pimple on my forehead!

I immediately spit the toothpaste out of my mouth then reached out for my mouthwash to gargle then spit it out. "Bakit ba kasi naglasing ka??" I scolded myself. "Hindi ka tuloy nakapag skincare kagabi!" I said to myself while washing my face.

Bakit nga ba ako naglasing? Then it hit me. My fcking ex cheated on me. My blood boiled instantly with that thought. Ano yun? I went there for him only to see with my own eyes how he flirts with other girls???

I was brutally tapping the serum on my face when my phone rang. I let it ring and continued my skincare with my moisturizer. It stopped ringing but it rang again. I put my sunscreen then went out the bathroom and checked my phone to see who's calling.

Speak of the devil and the devil shall appear.

"Oh?" I answered in a cold voice.

I heard Tristan's deep breath before he said spitefully, "Really, Serena? Really?"

I raised a brow with what he said, "Huh?" Then I heard a knock on my door. Auntie opened the door and waved at me. I pointed at my phone and she nodded.

"Baba kana after." She mouthed and made a gesture like she's eating.

I nodded and smile but it faded when Tristan said, "I can't believe what you did! lip-locking with someone who isn't your boyfriend! Delicadeza naman." He raised his tone at his last words.
