Love The Way You Lie

18

WARNING: SPG

It's already 12 midnight. Nakaupo kaming lahat at nakapabilog sa bon fire na ginawa nila kanina. Nagsisimula na rin sila uminom ng alak, at nagkakantahan.

"Do you want some?" napabaling ako sa harap ko nang abutan ako ng beer ng isa sa empleyado ni Lucas.

I was about to get it when Lucas grabbed it instead. "My wife's alcohol tolerance is very low. I'll drink it for her."

"You're so overprotective to your wife, Sir. We only saw this side of yours ngayon. We're lucky!" ani pa ng kanyang empleyado sabay halinghing.

"Agree, kapag nasa kumpanya si sir sobrang  strict. Now we now who's is his weakness." sambit naman ng isa pa.

I don't remember their names. I'm really bad with it.

"Let's play a game, guys! spin the bottle truth or dare. Everyone knows about it right?" tumayo si Alexa, Lucas secretary.

"You'll join us, sir. Right?" I saw she smirk a little. Is she planning something?

"Sure," maikling tugon ni Lucas at ipinulupot ang kanyang dalawang kamay sa baywang ko at ipinatong ang kanyang ulo sa balikat ko.

Alexa started to spin the bottle. There are only 6 of us here dahil ang iba'y tulog na. Tumapat 'yon sa isang empleyado ni Lucas as they start to ask questions.

"Truth or dare?"

"Dare!!"

"Let's make it simple since we have a minor here. Find a embarrassing picture of yours and make it as your profile picture for a month." Alexa stated.

"What? Is it simple? It's embarrassing!!"

Medyo nainis ako sa sinabi niya. Diniin niya pa ang salitang minor while looking at me. I'm already 20 years old at ang tanda lang nila sa'kin ay 3 years mahigit. It's like she's pertaining na nililimitahan nila ang game because of me. I don't want to argue with her kaya nanahimik na lamang ako.

She spin it again at ilang spin pa bago 'yon tumapat kay Lucas. Tumalon pa siya sa tuwa like she have been waiting for this.

"I'll choose truth. I don't want the dare because I have a wife and I don't want to do the things that will make her uncomfortable, so I hope you'll understand." ani ni Lucas at umayos ng pagkakaupo dahil ramdam niya sigurong medyo nangangalay na ang balikat ko.

"I hope we'll be able to find a man like Sir Lucas!" I heard someone whispered.

Ang kaninang mata ni Alexa na nagniningning ay napalitan ng pagka dismaya.

"Who wants to ask?" tanong ni Alexa.

Nag-unahan naman ang iba.

"Who's your first love, Sir? Is it Calista?" napaawang ang labi ko nang marinig ang tanong.

Napabaling ako kay Lucas na bakas din ang gulat sa kanyang mata. He didn't even look at me. His eyes became cold as iced as if the question is something that he doesn't want to hear.

"Kim is my first love..." he said in a very low tone voice.

I heard his employees shouted because they're amaze of what they heard. They knew my full name. They're thinking that it's me but...

Why do I feel like it's not me that he's talking about? Matagal siya bago nakasagot. Is he reminiscing something? or someone?

"Calista, sa'yo na nakatapat ang bottle. Seems like you're not in your mind. Is something wrong?"

I didn't realize that the bottle is on me not until Alexa talked to me. I've been thinking about his answer all a long.

"Oh, sorry... I'm just happy to know that my husband's first love is me. It left me in awe." I tried to smile. "I'll choose truth too."
