Loving the Night

Wakas

#NOLWAKAS

"Good evening! Ma'am, Sir!"

I heard the waitress saying this. She's pretty, tall, sexy—just my type. When my mom walk towards her, I immediately followed. I heard mom calls her Stolen so I guess that's the name of pretty waitress.

What a unique and nice name you've got there baby, sounds playboy? But no, I'm not. She's just my type. Love at first sight? I don't believe it, just . . . she's just my type. No more, no less. Fuck, what is happening to me? I can't take my eyes of her. She's pretty good and I'm already attracted.

We're all settled at our table when I saw her fighting or should I say arguing with her friend about serving. I immediately stood up to go to the comfort room when fucking shit, she accidentally hit me with that fucking tray and we fell down and oh boy, she's on my above, her boobs are touching my chest.

Who knows our love story will start there. At the very first it was just a like so I didn't mind. I made her believe that I'm annoyed of this desperate girl because that was just the move that I know to get closer to her. Cheap move but no choice. I'm annoyed because she won't even throw a single glance on me. What's wrong with her? I talk to her coldly so she would notice that I'm annoyed but oh fuck she became distant. Maybe she's afraid of me. I won't eat you baby.

"What the hell grandma? Why can't I contact Ate Shielo? Where did you hide her? Grandma tell me!" I shouted angrily. I'm mad. How can she throw Ate to somewhere we don't know. Bea's crying right now and Daze is also mad while our parents' just calm there.

"Mommy, Daddy? Where's Ate?" Daze ask.

"M-mommy . . . a-ate." Humihikbing sabi ni Bea.

"Simeon Benjamin to my office, now!" Grandma said strictly.

I look at my parents and they just nod. How could they? I clenched my fist while walking. How can they let this happen? Whoever that family is . . .  they will pay.

"Please take a seat, apo. Just calm down. Keila's coming already, I'm sure you want to see her."

"I don't want to see her." Matigas na sabi ko.

"Fine. See this picture. If you want to know where your sister is then gantihan mo sila. A good suggestion here is, why don't you use their daughter? Their older daughter is just one year younger than you. Paibigin mo tapos iwanan sa ere. Ipamukha mo sa kanila kung gaano kalupit ang isang Montevello. Ipadama mo sa kanila ang nararamdaman mo ngayon ."

She's cruel. Fuck. This girl is the same girl I admire at the MSBAR but my mind was too clouded at ang nasa isip ko lang ay puro paghihiganti at si Ate. I didn't think what the consequence would be. I go on with the plan—to make her fall for me hardly and deeply then leave her like how ate leaves us.

"Stolen Zayineth Dela Vera, can you be my official girlfriend?" I fuck up because this is true. No more pretending and just true loving. I fall for my own trap. When she said 'yes' I felt like my world was about to crash. I'm badly smitten with this girl. That night was the special night for me because I fall for her over and over again. That night was also the night I officially introduce her to my parents as my official girlfriend. They're looking at me seriously wondering if it's still a joke or not but I clarified it after the party.

Rancho, Happiness Park, Paraiso River, MBAR, and MSBAR became our favorite places especially the rooftop. The rooftop is our haven. Our roadtrips was the reason why we knew each other. Dito kami nagkakilala ng husto.

"Bro are you fucking serious with Stolen?" Daze ask me seriously. We're at the MBAR, celebrating the birthday of one of our closest friends.

"Why?"
