Where Universe Was Found (SOW #2)

Prologue

SELENE was all smiles while seeing her friends get wasted. Halos lahat ito ay lasing na kaya kung ano-ano na ang kalokohan na ginagawa. Merong nagwawala na sa dancefloor, meron ding mga malalakas na ang loob maghanap ng 'bebe', meron ding mga kung ano-ano nang sinasabi.

Napailing na lang s'ya at sumandal sa inuupuan. Hindi naman s'ya malakas uminom kaya nahihilo na kaagad s'ya. Wala eh, graduation party nila kaya kailangan talagang um-attend. Last day together na din kasi at magkakaniya-kaniya na.

She smiled when she thought about all her hardworks paid off. Lahat ng pagod, stress at iyak niya sa pag-aaral ay nasuklian na. Graduated na siya.

"Selene, ano? Kaya pa?" Her friend, Julianna, asked.

"Hmm, kaya pa," she answered in a drunk voice. Halos hindi na din siya gumagalaw dahil sa pagkahilo. Damn that liquor she drank.

"Selene, kilala mo 'yon?" She heard Julianna asked but she can't see what she's implying since she's closing her eyes.

"Hm? Sino ba?" Tanong niya pero napangiwi s'ya nang hampasin s'ya ng kaibigan.

"Gaga, magmulat ka kasi ng mata mo. Paano mo makikita?" She slowly opened her eyes and the moment it opens, she locked her eyes with a man that she can never go unnoticed.

Who would ignore him?

Parker James Tolentino is a well-known student in their campus. Not only in their campus but also, in other schools near them and even, on the other cities.

Sino ba naman ang hindi makakakilala sa kan'ya kung halos lahat ng babaeng makakasalubong n'ya ay bukambibig ito?

She always crossed paths with Parker at campus pero hindi n'ya pinapansin. Wala s'yang interest sa kahit sinong sikat sa school or whatever.

Seeing him in the bar is just normal. Gano'n naman kasi talaga, diba? Hindi mawawala sa nature ng mga lalaki ang bar. Kaya hindi nakakapagtaka.

She lifts her gaze again and saw Parker's eyes on her.

He is staring at her with his hawk like eyes. She studied his features. Parker is wearing a simple black shirt, tucked in his black pants. May dogtag ito na suot. Naka-brush up ang buhok na hindi na makita ang kulay dahil madilim pero halatang may kulay ang buhok dahil matingkad 'yon. Sunod na bumaba ang tingin n'ya sa mukha ng binata. He has beautiful eyebrows, a very soft and pretty monolids and she noticed that the man's lashes are long. Probably, longer than hers. Sana all.

The man's body was obviously sexy. Hindi gano'ng kalaki pero halata ang muscles nito. Biceps, arms, torso and even the thighs.

She noticed how the Parker's lips lifts into a smirk. Napailing s'ya at umiwas ng tingin.

Damn it, Selene! You just shamelessly checked him out!

And by that thought, she drank again until she became wasted just like her batchmates.

"PARKER, anong nginingisi-ngisi mo d'yan? Para kang gago." Jeoniel, who's beside Parker asked as he notice his friend smirking. Napatingin sa kan'ya si Parker at inginuso ang isang direksyon.

"Ay, gago! Kaya naman pala. 'Yung crush mo pala," Jeoniel said and smacked Parker's arms.

"'Wag kang pa-epal. Tinititigan na nga ako eh," he joked.
