Dealing With Hawkins

Chapter 18

Everything is fine, good, according to my plan. Our seminar ended at 5 at papalabas na ako ngayon sa condo ko to meet my friends.

Jessie invited me to join them tonight, total minsan lang naman ako maki party. No paperworks, no checking, no attendance and everything connected to school. Nothing. 

Masaya ako na kahit minsan makasama naman ako kila Jessie. In our circle, we are five, Jessie, Nadia, Nancy, Jenny and me. Matagal na kaming magkaibigan, college pa. 

At nag invite nga si Jess sa isang exclusive bar malayo dito sa lugar namin, ayaw ko naman na may makakita saakin, kahit pa alam kong nasa camping ang mga students ko.

This bar is highly recommended because of its beautiful ambiance and good service, pero kahit pa subrang ganda ay subrang mahal din naman ng entrance at bayad ng mga drinks. Since minsan lang naman gumastos, okay lang.

"Finally!". Impit na sigaw ni Nadia, she comes closer and she kiss my cheeks, ganun din ang ginawa nila Jessie at ng iba pa.

"You look stunning wearing that red dress. Are you planning to give yourself to someone tonight?". Nancy asked. Her name is Nancy because she's so fancy, she's so rich and wealthy.

Nasa kaniya na lahat, sports car, automatic house and all, basta sobrang yaman ng family nila. I met her because of our Research professor, we worked together to finish our task.

She's also smart.

"Nah, I just wanna dance and feel wild. Uuwi akong virgin". Biro ko. Lumabas na kami at sumakay sa iisang sasakyan. Mayroong driver si Nancy, if ever na malasing kami lahat ay uuwi kami sa iisang condo. 

Sa buong biyahe namin ay nag ku-kwentuhan kami about our lives and boyfriends. Since wala akong boyfriend ay tahimik lang ako, kahit alam ni Jessie na mayroon akong internet lover.

Hindi ko na pala nakakausap si Antonio, pero try ko siyang kausapin bukas, busy lang ako these past few days, pero balak ko siyang i- meet sa susunod na linggo.

I will ask him to be my date sa foundation night. 

"Napaka lalim ng iniisip mo Kat". Sabi ni Jenny.

"Sabay sabay ba naman ang seminar at camping. Babalik pa ako bukas, nag o- overthink nanaman ako". May halong tawa na sabi ko sa kaniya.

"Come on girls, let's enjoy the night!". Lumabas kaming lahat.

Pagkababa palang ay ramdam ko kaagad ang cold breeze, napapikit ako at napangiti. I feel free. 

May ipinakita lang si Nancy na card ay agad na kaming pinapasok. We entered a very cool building, with a lot of men and women dancing in the middle.

There's a pole dancers in the middle, may mga nag sasayaw doon at nakaka indak ang mga tugtog.

Ang bawat upuan o mesa nila dito ay alternate, at iba iba, may mga nakataas ng medyo nasa five feet at ang susunod naman ay mababa lang.

Nancy chose the VIP table kaya nakataas kami compared sa mga non VIPs. We made ourselves comfortable and let our eyes watch the dancers in the middle. 

A waiter immediately approached our table and asked for our order, tequila kaagad at champagne ang kinuha nila, medyo hard.

"Wow!". Jessie yelled because of so much enjoyment.

Tumayo ang mga kasama ko kaya tumayo din ako, we danced with the music, I swayed my body and hips. Wala akong pakialam sa paligid, wala din naman silang pakialam saamin so who cares.

I just wanted to dance and enjoy the music.

I sway my hands and hips, we raised our glass at sabay sabay kaming tumunga sa kulay blue na liquid. Yumuko ako to eat gummy candy. It's so sweet and lovely.
