Inexorable Encounter

Chapter 27

I woke up with a heavy heart and an aching head. I clenched my hand and hissed. I will never drink again. I’ve drank alcohol before, but this is too much. This is hell breaking my head. Argh! I breathed hard, but I got stunned when my room didn’t smell like my room. Did someone change the scent of my room? What the hell?

But my accusations proved me wrong the moment I opened my eyes and scanned the area. The room where I am is far from being my room. What the hell? Why am I here at long hair’s room?

I heavily sighed and tried to remember what happened last night but it just made my head ache. Argh! This is far from what I imagined by drinking a lot of drinks. That Frances!

I saw a glass of water and some medicine on the side table. A note was also there, so I read it and found out that it was from long hair.

Uminom ka ng gamot para mabawasan ang sakit ng ulo mo. Babalik ako, hintayin mo ako. – Izen

I shook my head and drank the medicine. I got some clothes from long hair’s closet and I took myself for a brief shower. I suddenly remembered a glimpse of what happened yesterday.

I put my head on Frances again to rest. After I rant those words to her that brought confusion and curiosity to Frances, I continued asking. I took a rest again on her shoulder.

 

“Frances, be mad if I ruin someone.”

 

“I’m always mad naman kahit hindi mo niru-ruin.” I giggled at her sarcasm. “Sino ba balak mo this time?”

 

“And don’t support me because this is bad,” I added. “Someone’s future is at stake if I ruin it. They were kind to me, and I can’t ruin them. I can’t break them. But my heart would break if I didn’t.”

 

I didn’t know how many hours I stayed here, but when my body awakened again from resting, I felt an additional presence. I strengthened my back and sat properly. Frances got us a VIP room so I can sit properly and she complained about how heavy my head was.

 

“Nagising na ulit siya. She’ll be calling again for a drink,” I heard Frances’ voice talking to someone. “The reason why I brought her here para hindi agad nakakatawag ng waiter. Mananakit na ulo ko sa kaniya, she kept on asking for another glass and being Belle Ivory, I could not stop her from having another one kahit pa sabihin kong huwag bigyan.”

 

“Kanina pa siya nandito?” a familiar voice asked. With closed eyes, I turned my head in the direction of the voice and creased my forehead.

 

“Yes, and I’m sure this will be hell for her the moment she wakes up.” She sighed. “I’m glad that you called. Hindi ko na alam ang gagawin ko. I badly need to get home for some photoshoots tomorrow. I’m not that brave to call Vice Mayor for her.”

 

“Ako na bahala, iuuwi ko na siya.”

 

“Thank you, Izen, ah?”

 

My forehead creased. I groaned. “Another shot, please!” I asked.
