Behind the skies and lies

Kabanata 36

Kinagat ko ang ibabang labi at uminom. Naglandas muli ang tingin ko sa gawi ni Rad. I watched his back move in a subtle way as he gulped his alcohol. Even his back can make any woman drool.

I drink another shot again.

Dumaan ang babae na tinitingnan ni Rion. Hindi nawala sa tingin ko sakaniya. She's serving at a table a bit near us.

God. She's beautiful. Sexy.

The table is full of men. From here, I can even sense their thirst for the server. I'm kind of alerted. Nakita ko ang paglagay ng kamay ng lalaki sa isang hita ng server.

"Rion." I called him.

"Fucking bastard." I heard Rion cursed. Napatayo at mukhang nagpipigil.

"Puntahan mo." I said.

He look shocked when I said that. I smiled at him, to give him assurance I will be fine here.

"I can't leave you here."

"Rion, I will be fine here. Go to her."

His stares lingered on me for a few seconds, but he immediately went in her direction. I saw the girl's eyes widen at Rion's presence. She quickly glanced in my direction, but Rion was heating up beside her. Mabilis niyang niyakap sa dibdib si Rion para pigilan sa pagsuntok sa customer.

She tamed the beast in Rion, but she's the one who released it as well. I took a sip while I watched them go. I silently wonder about their history.

"You know her?" Baling ko kay Azriel na may hilaw na ngiti.

"Uh no! Hehe. Rion is single. Crush ka 'non, Alya."

Umiling ako at hindi na siya sinagot. Rion will provide the answer eventually. What happened tonight gave us clarity. It is crystal clear for me.

In deep thought, I mindlessly drink a lot. No wonder my head started to spin. My heart started to throb. Umalis na ba siya? Kasama ang babae? Wala na sila sa counter.

Damn. Where is he? I was distracted by Rion and his girl. I lost Rad!

"I will just dance." Paalam ko kay Azriel.

Pumunta ako sa dagat ng tao. It wasn't that crowded like the usual. Hindi ako nahirap makahanap ng spot kung saan ko ilalabas ang bigat ng dibdib.

Well, I was ready for this. He is getting into such a relationship. He is attracted to other women. I accepted it when I let go of him and when we bid our goodbyes despite his promise.

Isang mainit na braso ang pumulupot sa bewang ko. I want to get rid of it immediately but...I want to try this right? I want to explore this world.

I grind against him. From here, I can sense he is tall and masculine. Braso palang ay malaki na, sakop na sakop ang bewang ko. Tuwing humihilig ako sa kaniya ay matigas na dibdib ang natatamaan ko. I can't even feel his neck. Ganoon siya katangkad?

I felt him lean a bit downward.

"You got a boyfriend?" he whispered in a low voice.

Damn. I can feel the heat gushing over my body. Just because of his whisper?!

"I wouldn't be dancing with you if I had." Halos umirap ako. What does he think of me? A damn cheater?

"Right. Nevertheless, I would shoot my shot still. Baka agawin pa kita kung mayroon nga."

Tumawa ako. "I said wala. Go shoot your shot then."

"Really huh. How about suitors?"

Inisip ko si Rion. Clearly, he's not courting me, and just flirting. He's interested to someone else!

"None.."

We look so dumb. We were talking while he was on my back. He is locking me with his arms while dancing the same rhythm as mine.

"Wanna go somewhere quiet?"

His voice is too tempting! But I can't! I'm just here to flirt. I don't want to have any sexual intercourse with just random strangers! I will explore, but not in this way!
