"Wait, wait. Dahan-dahan naman, matutumba ako. The ground was swaying," ang sabi ko.

Ngunit tila walang narinig si Louie, he kept on dragging me by the arm.

Napadami yata ang inom ko. My legs felt wobbly. Parang anumang oras ay bibigay na ang mga iyon.

"Slowly, please. I think I'm gonna trip," ang sabi ko pa.

But still, he acted like he didn't hear me. He kept dragging me back to the villa.

My legs kept getting in each other's way hanggang sa muntik na akong matumba. Kung 'di pa ako napakapit kay Louie ay malamang na sa lupa ako pupulutin.

"Aray ko! I told you to walk slowly!" I yelled at him.

He stopped walking, turned to face me, and then swept me off my feet. Literally.

"Hey! Put me down!" I wriggled in his arms.

"Stop it if you don't want me to drop you!" His voice was full of authority.

For a second ay natakot ako na baka totohanin nga nito ang banta kaya napakapit ako bigla sa leeg nito. I stared at his face, he looked like he meant it.

Louie was carrying me like I don't weigh anything at all. Well, sa tangkad ba naman nito, parang kayang-kaya ako nitong ibalibag kapag nagpatuloy ako sa pagpupumiglas.

We reached our villa in no time. He went inside while still carrying me in his arms. Then he basically tossed me to the huge sofa.

"What was that for?" ang asik ko dito.

"Di ba ako dapat ang nagtatanong sa'yo? What the hell was that?" he said. He looked mad.

"About what?" sabi ko.

My mind was foggy. Pero hindi pa naman yata ako lasing.

"You were basically flirting with someone there!" he bellowed at me.

"I wasn't flirting with anyone!" I yelled back at him.

Hindi ko alam kung saan ko nakuha ang lakas ng loob na sigawan ito pabalik. It must be the alcohol.

"You were! And why the hell did you get that drunk, huh?" His face was all red.

"I am not drunk," sabi ko. "Eh, ba't ka namumula? Ikaw yata itong lasing, eh."

"Not drunk? Eh, hindi ka nga makalakad nang maayos pabalik dito?"

"That's because you were dragging me. Why are you so mad?" ang sabi ko.

I saw his jaw move. Nagpakawala ito ng isang malalim na hininga upang pakalmahin ang sarili.

"Let's stop this conversation. You're drunk," anito sabay talikod.

"Hindi nga ako lasing!" I stood up to follow him ngunit pakiwari ko'y gumalaw bigla ang sahig. I tripped and landed on the floor.

Louie turned around to check on me.

"Lumindol ba? Lumindol yata, eh. Gumalaw 'yong sahig," sabi ko.

He shook his head in frustration.

"Stay right there," anito bago umalis.

Noong bumalik ito ay may dala na itong malamig na bottled water.

I was still sitting on the carpeted floor with my back on the sofa.

Binuksan nito ang tubig. "Here." He helped me drink from it.

"More," he said when I stopped drinking.
