"Oh my god!"

I muttered a curse when I took my phone from the drawer beside my bed, It was ringing countless times at ng tingnan ko kung sino ang tumatawag ay mas lalo akong na-bwisit.

[Morgan! Thank God you answered!] She greeted, ang ingay ng paligid niya at rinig 'yon sa tawag naming dalawa. Where is she?

"Why are you calling? Don't you know it's just three o'clock in the morning?"

Napahilamos ako sa sarili kong mukha gamit ang mga palad ko bago bumuntong hininga, umayos ako ng pagkakahiga habang pinapakinggan ko ang sinasabi 'nung nasa kabilang linya.

[Sorry for waking you up, I just have a favor to ask!] I finally I heard Sefanie's voice again after hearing a loud music all over the line. [Please?]

"Hazel! It's 3 in the morning, what do you want?" I asked with a glint of irritation. "Magpapasundo ka ba? Where exactly are you?"

[No... but can you fetch Amara on The Glorious? I'm supposed to fetch her but something came up,] Alanganing sagot niya sa'kin. [She's my cousin!]

"Hindi ko 'yon kilala sino ba 'yon?" I asked again, this time I sat up on my bed. "You're asking me to pick up someone I don't know, why do you think I'll do it?"

[Because you love me, duh. Well anyway, I owe you one! Pick her up, ha! Love you, bye Morgan!]

"Hey! Wait, Hazel—" I was cutted off when the line went out. "What the hell..."

I cursed out multiple times. Nag send siya ng picture sa'kin kaya naman wala na akong nagawa kung 'di ang tingnan 'yon, nakita ko ang isang babae sa larawan at kaagad na kumunot ang mga noo ko.

As I look at her picture I saw how pretty she was,
she was wearing a sleeveless coat and a skirt, the length was just about her thighs. She looked good with her light make up on and 'yong buhok niya ay nakababa lang, her face is charming. I suddenly felt a twitch inside me, specifically on my chest na para bang kumirot ang dibdib ko.

This woman's gonna make my head ache and I can feel it. Tinawagan ko ang bartender na kilala ko sa 'The Glorious' at sinabi 'kong may susunduin ako, I instructed him to look and watch over her.

"I'm on my way, please take care of her."

As a drove to the bar, inabot lang siguro ako ng 30 minutes dahil hindi naman kalayuan ito sa condo ko at mabilis lang akong nakapag-paandar papunta dito, hindi pa ako nakakapasok ay rinig na rinig ko na ang ingay ng music pati na din ang ingay ng mga tao. And when I entered, there I saw her sitting on a chair while resting her upper body on the counter habang nakapikit ang mata. I walked up to her faster than I could get while removing my jacket para ipang tapis sakanya, goodness! She's revealing too much!

"Hey, Caleb." Bati ko sa bartender na kaharap ko ngayon at ibinigay niya naman sa'kin ang cellphone at gamit niya. "Thank you for watching her."

I just got my wallet and I gave him four thousand pesos, nag-tanong pa siya kung bakit ako nagbigay sakanya ng pera, I said that it's his tip and I thanked him for taking care of this woman. I helped her stood up, inalalayan ko siya at pagkatapos ay dumiretso kami sa kotse ko, I sat her in front at tsaka ako pumasok sa loob ng driver seat.
