Chapter 18: Hang Over

Sky's POV

Now, inaamin ko na sa sarili ko. I like Carol. This is not just a simple crush anymore, gusto ko na s'ya. Pero kung kailan may Matt na s'ya saka ko pa nakumpirma 'tong nararamdaman ko.

Tangina. Anong laban ko ro'n? Si Matthew matagal na n'yang kilala. Ex n'ya 'yon, matagal na pinagsamahan nila. Tapos nand'yan pa s'ya during Carol's pregnancy. S'ya rin nakamulatan ni Thea as a father figure. Pota, anong laban ko?

"One more tequila shot, please," I told the bartender. I was sitting on the bar counter, nage-emote. Binigay naman ng bartender ang order ko.

Maya-maya ay may isang babaeng tumabi sa'kin. "Alone?" She asked saka hinaplos ang balikat ko.

"May nakikita ka bang kasama ko?" Pabalang na sagot ko. Imbes na mainis ay tumawa lang ito. Pinaikot n'ya ang bar stool na inuupuan ko kaya napaharap ako sa kanya. She suddenly kissed my lips. The fuck?

I tried to push her at mabuti nalang ay nagawa ko. Nailayo ko ang mukha n'ya sa'kin but I was stunned when I saw whose face is this. Carol..

Hinaplos ko ang mukha n'ya, she smiled at me. This time, I was the one who initiated the kiss. I pulled her closer to me to kiss her again. She respond with the same hunger, the same neediness of my kisses. Fuck, I'm kissing Carol right now.

I pulled her closer even more but minutes after, may humila nalang sa'kin saka ako sinuntok kaya tila nawala ang pagkahilo ko at nagising ako sa katotohanan.

"The fuck you're doing with my girlfriend?!" Sigaw ng isang lalaki. Akmang bibigyan pa ako nito ng isang suntok pero nahila na s'ya palayo sa'kin.

"Dave!" The girl exclaimed to stop her boyfriend maybe, I don't know shit. So hindi si Carol ang kahalikan ko? What the fuck? I'm hallucinating for fuck's sake!

Nag-iwan na ako ng bayad sa counter bago susuray-suray na naglakad palabas ng bar. Where's my car? Saan ko ba pinark 'yon? Where's my key? The fuck!

Napaupo nalang ako sa parking lot nang hindi ko talaga mahanap ang susi ng kotse ko. Damn it! I can't even remember where I put it. Basta dala ko 'yon because I used my car to go here..

My phone? Where's my phone? Kinapa ko ang bulsa ko and I felt my phone on my back pocket kaya kinuha ko 'yon. I browse my contacts but I can't properly read it due to dizziness.

"H-hello? Vera.. p-pasundo ako sa bar.. dito sa—shit I can't remember the name of the bar.. but I'm here outside." I didn't receive a response but she hang up the phone. Oh well.. I guess I'm sleeping here.

Hindi ko na kaya, tagalang pabagsak na ang mga mata at pati ang katawan ko. Nahiga ako sa malamig na simentong sahig ng parking lot saka ipinikit ang mga mata.

Carol's POV

"Matt.." I called for Matt while his lips is busy devouring my skin on my neck.

"Hmm?" He response but he's still busy on my neck.

"My phone's ringing.. I need to answer it," sa wakas ay nasabi ko rin. He immediately stops, parang ngayon n'ya lang narealize na may tumatawag nga sa akin kaya s'ya ang nag-abot ng bag ko na nahulog sa sahig ng kotse.

"Sorry.." nahihiyang wika n'ya. I just smiled. Kinuha ko ang phone sa kanya and I got confused when I saw Sky's name on the screen but I still answered it.

"H-hello? Vera.. p-pasundo ako sa bar.. dito sa—shit I can't remember the name of the bar.. but I'm here outside." She said from the other line. Alam ko agad na lasing ito so I hang up the phone.
