Layne
"Balot na balot, girl?" I creased my forehead at pinasadahan ang suot ko ngayon.
Hindi naman talaga ako balot na balot, sino namang tanga ang balot na balot sa club? Girls can wear anything they want freely, ang sarap nga lamang mang-tusok ng mga mata dito sa club na kung makatingin akala mo, tinutunaw ka.
I scoffed. "Compared naman kasi sayo," Yung damit naman ni Raya ang pinasadahan ko ng tingin. "Nagkulang sa tela, girl?" I shot back.
She rolled her eyes playfully and giggled. I glanced Finnegan, who's busy serving drinks. Yung mga babae naman, pagkaka-order di na lang umalis ka aagad pagkaka-kuha ng order at tinititigan pa talaga si Finn.
Seriously, why is he even here every night? Hindi lang mga lalaki dito ang wagas makatitig pag may pinagnanasaan sila.
I rolled my eyes and sighed before tearing my gaze off of the bar.
"Kalma lang," Malayah patted my shoulder. "How about you already go near him? Claim your man, babe. Nang hindi ka na mainis sa kakatitig ng ibang babae na akala mo hinuhubadan na si Finnegan." She gave me a small smile.
Nakaawang ang labi ko ng lingunin ko siya, she shrugged. "My man? Finnegan and I aren't even a thing, Alayah. Hell I care if someone flirts with him."
"Whatever you say," She gave me a small smile. "But don't get carried away with his words and moves, lalo na't hindi mo sure kung ano meron kayo."
"Alayah, please. He's not doing anything, it's not what it looks like, okay? Wala pa yata 2 months kami magkakilala." I rolled my eyes. "He's not flirting with me."
Tinapik ko yung tuhod nya, "I'll order drinks." She was about to take out her wallet but I stick my tongue out on her. "It's on me, Malayah."
"But you paid last time," She said but I shook my head and walked towards the bar. I combed my hair with my fingers before I leaned in the counter.
Finnegan smiled at me immediately and left the other girls he was talking to with. "Baby," He scanned my body and he gave me a satisfied smile. "I guess you don't want me to get mad." He chuckled.
I visibly rolled my eyes, "Don't be so full of yourself, Finnegan. I dressed for myself."
His smile didn't left his face, "As you should, Layne. Don't dress for other people, even for me."
My heart wanted to explode because of what he said. I noticed that the others girls was also halted at lalo nang nainlove kay Finnegan. How dare he use those kind of words where a lot of people can hear. Ako lang dapat makakarinig ng mga ganong salitaan nya at baka lalo hindi siya tantanan ng di maubos na babae sa paligid nya.
"Your order?" He asked.
"Whiskey Sour, lima." I told him and watched his expression. Is he always smiley? I mean, to every customer, every night?
"Okay, go back to your table. I'll bring it to you and your friends," He gave me a assuring smile but I shook my head.
"I can do it myself,"
"Intayin mo na lang ako, tumawag na ako ng papalit sa akin. I'll sit with you." And he did sit with me for the rest of the night.
