Anatomy of an Heiress

Chapter 22

"Bakla ka! Kailan 'yon?" Vance exclaimed as we interrogate Mica. 

"Birthday 'yon ng blockmate natin, ayon... basta! Masarap naman." Mica winked. 

We laughed in unison with Mica's reaction. She's already tipsy and becoming too honest. Ang kakalat! 

We're currently playing Truth or Dare. Nandito kami ngayon sa isang resort nina Mica. She reserved the whole place for the four of us. Her parents were kind enough to allow us here. 

Actually, Alyonna really wasn't supposed to go, pinilit ko lang s'ya dahil kailangan n'ya rin naman makipag-mingle. Especially today... despedida party nina Sasha and Don. She'll just dwell in her unit and overthink alone. Mabuti na 'yung kasama n'ya kami. 

So far, I think she's having fun. She's trying. Basta naman daw may alak ay solve s'ya. 

"Okay, next! Paikutin na!" Alyonna shouted from the mini-kitchen in our room, holding two bottles of tequila in her arms. 

"Tangina mo, 'yung atay ko na 'yung susuko sa mga pinapainom mo!" Vance made a disgusted face when he glanced at Yonna. 

"Eh 'di 'wag ka uminom! Mahina ka pala, eh! Wala, mahina!" Mica annoyed Vance as she was presenting a thumbs down in front of his face, her eyes half-closed. 

I shook my head and proceeded to spin the bottle. It ended up landing on both me and Yonna since we were facing each other. The opening of the bottle faced me so I was the one to be asked. 

"F.O. na 'to, pare," Vance joked, making his voice deeper. We laughed again because of that, Mica was already half asleep. She was leaning on half of the bed. Ewan ko d'yan, manhid na siguro. 

"Umabot na ba kayo ni Asher sa first base?" Yonna said straightly, walang intro-intro. 

My eyes circled in surprise because of her question. Bata pa po ako!

"Direk, hindi pa po ako ready for daring roles," I joked and laughed as I take a shot of tequila, refusing to answer her question. 

They clapped and whooped assuming that Asher and I already did. Hindi ko pa nga sinasagot, mga pokpok na 'to!

"Alam mo hindi na kasi uso ngayon 'yung mga ligaw-ligaw," Mica lectured. Buhay pa pala 'tong lasinggera na 'to. 

Eh paano ba naman kasi hindi malalasing? Kahit sumasagot s'ya sa mga tanong ay umiinom pa rin s'ya, hindi kasi n'ya talaga naintindihan 'yung mechanics noong laro namin. 

"Oo, kasi may jowa ka eh 'no?" Vance rolled his eyes and removed Mica's head on his shoulder. "Pero oo nga, bakla! Hindi na uso 'yun," Vance agreed anyway, even nodding his head. 

"Aba, at ikaw may jowa? Next!" I changed the topic and just spun the bottle. 

"Ah, basta, tangina! Ako meron pero niloko ako," Yonna laughed. Vance laughed too and their laughs combined, just make me want to do the same. 

We just ended up laughing at everything each other said. Hanggang sa tinamad na kaming maglaro at nahiga na lang kami lahat sa kama. 

We were all staring at the ceiling when we heard Yonna spoke. "Tarantado talaga si Mica, naharok na," she giggled as she gazes at Mica beside her, sleeping now. 

"Imagine if everything was well... we'd have Sasha here," Yonna added for a while. It shocked me for a minute but then I realized that that's Yonna talking and she forgives easily, but she never forgets. 

"Hindi ka magiging santo sa ginagawa mo," Vance chuckled and grabbed a pillow as he continues to listen to Alyonna. 

"Tanga, hindi talaga. Baka nga kumakaway na si Satanas sa baba eh," Alyonna shot back, still looking at the ceiling. "Imagine lang eh. Imagine if hindi sila tanga," she giggled.
