Rewriting Fate (Good Girls Series #5)

Chapter 22: Heartbeat

"Damn it! Calm down, Villamonte!" Kheiro exclaimed after Cendrix's elbow hit his tummy.

I am staring at the three drunken men: Cendrix, Mattheo, and Aizren.

Magkakatabi silang apat sa mahabang couch. Cendrix was half asleep, Mattheo's polo's button were ruined, and Aizren's still drinking. But I could feel that he's drunk na rin.

"Tangina nitong si Mattheo! Hindi na nahiya!" Kheiro cursed while pointing at Mattheo, "May chikinini ka pa, 'tol!"

"Uh, that girl was hot!" he exclaimed, napangiwi naman ako.

"Shanice, don't mind this prick." Kheiro even glared at Mattheo. "Oh, buti nanahimik 'tong si Cendrix? Tatahimik ka rin pala, eh!"

"Damn you, Fortaleza!" Cendrix said and even raised his middle finger in front of Kheiro.

"Oh, Alcaraz! Heto na hinihintay mo!" when we looked at Aizren, I caught him leaning his head on Mattheo's shoulder. Lasing na rin siya. "Oh, ampota!" Kheiro chuckled and took his phone to take a photo of the three. Lalo siyang natawa ng isandal din ni Cendrix ang ulo sa balikat ni Mattheo. "Tatlong ugok!"

"Why did they drink?" I asked when I made sure that they were already sleeping.

"Itong si Aizren, nag-aya mag-inom. Akala niya malalasing niya ako." He shook his head, "Itong dalawa, hindi ko alam kung bakit uminom nga eh may pasok pa naman kami bukas. Hangover mapapala ng tatlong 'to pag nagkataon."

I heaved a sigh and stared at them. Cendrix was already sleeping peacefully. Mattheo's even snoring, I could see the lipstick stains on his polo's collar and some tiny hickeys on his neck and collarbone. Aizren was asleep too, but he still looks normal.

"Paano sila makakauwi?" tanong ko.

"Dapat pala naglasing na rin ako, ngayon ko lang na-realize na ako ang maghahatid sa kanila!" he gripped on his hair, "Damn that, Alcaraz!" he whispered.

"I could clearly hear you, Fortaleza." Aizren spoke,

Akala ko tulog na siya. Ghad!

"'Wag ka na magtulug-tulugan d'yan, pinapunta ko na si Shanice. Sa harap ka niya mag-rant, hindi sa amin." Kheiro said, I saw Aizren kicked his foot kaya napadaing siya.

"Aizren," I called. Pero hindi siya umimik o rumespond man lang. tumayo ako at nilapitan siya, "Aizren, are you okay?"

"Do I look like I am damn okay?" he asked, he slowly opened his eyes. Nanginig naman ako,

"Let's not talk here," I said. Tinitigan ko siya, he slowly stood up and walked towards my direction.

"Shanice, tawagan mo agad ako 'pag may ginawa 'tong mokong na 'to sa 'yo." Kheiro said, I just stretched my lips which made him look away. "Sabi ko nga, hindi."

Aizren pulled me towards the second floor of the bar, binuksan niya ang isang pinto and we even caught a couple making out. napahiwalay sila at agad na lumabas. Aizren just walked out casually and sat on the couch on this veranda-like place. I gave him a bottle of water which he accepted, ininuman niya 'yon bago isinandal ang ulo sa headrest.

"What's your problem?" I asked,

Nilingon niya naman ako at binigyan ng masamang tingin. I almost step back but I managed to hold on.

"Really, Shanice?" he scoffed, "Am I really the one with problem here?" he asked sarcastically,

"I know you have too, you won't drink if you have no problems."
