Risk It All or Let it pass

Chapter 4

"I'm never gonna drink again." Narci mumbled still drowsy.

The boys drunk so much and can't get to their feet so I decided to prepare breakfast. A typical Filipino breakfast, Tapsilog.

Going back to the the lot I'm keeping, I did get the pork tapa I had for dinner last night. Thought I'll be enough for everyone. Then I start making sunny side up and the heart of the dish, fried rice with love.

"Hey Alexa, play Ranglers" i commanded the studio's Alexa, she grant it and the music classic music filled our lot."

I just love classics, besides we have to decide what are we playing for the open party. Good thing I did this Ranglers playlist in Spotify.

"Daisy, daisy, give me your answer, do.." I sang along.

"I'm half crazy, all for the love of you..." Roj following.

"I won't be a stylish marriage, I can't afford a carriage. But you'll look sweet upon the sit, of a bicycle built for-" we all sang in unison.

"Seven!!" Narci shout singing that made us looked at him confused. "What? We're seven here, no clunk left behind!" He cried.

Everyone tryna laugh at his corny joke.

"Enough of that, let's not make the food wait- hmm inviting aroma" Ms. Manager sniffing the smoke of perfection.

"Ahmm, why are you so good at everything Narra? This is brilliant" Klea worshiping the thought.

"You're husband is really lucky" Marq chuckling making himself choked.

"She's barely dating." Narci add up while he hand water for Marq.

"I'm not in hurry, that's why I don't get choke" I looked around them and end at Marq

"No offense, but when was the last time you had a boyfriend?" Klea asked hesitant but it's the pinoy in her.

"I just broke up with one before graduation, we were inseparable for almost four years" making them all stare at me with their face full of question mark. "Long term with my education, I'm not even sorry we ended."

"Bro! HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA" They all burst laughing that made me too.

"You are incredibly compelling, you always had me believing!" Roj expressing his amazement.

"I didn't took that course for nothing, it benefits me to be honest" proud of myself.

"Back to the real question, you might have took time for that silly long term but you can't run" Klean not giving up.

"I'm not really sure I had a real relationship, they're all more of a word than action. I stopped talking with boys in my senior year, err- even the slightest idea of it  makes me sick."

"Are you uhm- gay?" curious Deirk had his eyes wide at me.

"Not sure" I answered simply.

...

After breakfast, we began to do practice and break and practice and repeat. Tiring but fun. At sunset we decided to call it a day, we all go separate ways, bringing myself in slumping my body on the bed.

"Nap time" muttering under the sheets.

A sudden ringing of a device made jump of my sleep.

"Who tf, is this?" turning away my phone from my ear after the shrieking voice of my sister at the other end. "Geez. I'm sorry, I was sleeping- yes alright I'll be home soon."

She was convincing me to go home in our town, giving me the good news about the house being full furnished and wants me to be there for the home blessing.

I let a good yawn after, making myself comfortable; planning to get back to my sweet sleep when I checked the time

"Holey Freddie! My nap turned to a nap nap nap!" I cried to myself. I have no schedule though, but no time to cook for dinner. My intestines are having a WWE match inside.

Stepping at the exit and thinking where or what should I have tonight, I looked up at the sky; no stars, just moon.

"Do you possibly know where is this art gallery located." I heard a familiar voice and accent, I couldn't remember where. I follow where the voice came from and was a bit shocked. Why am I even shocked?

"It's in the 31st street, Sir. But I'm afraid its closing in 5 minutes." The stranger he was asking.

I was frozen, unconsciously looking at him. What is wrong with my nervous system?
He goes to me.

"You might have heard, you know where I can book reservation? I couldn't find them in the internet" heading to my direction as he asked.

"Sure, make your way to the location they might have posted a phone number you can contact for booking" I instructed.

"Lovely. Thank you Ms." Giving me a smile with a hint of relief.

"Nice seeing you again, Ave." Turning  around quickly and went straight to this fast food restaurants in front me. I didn't took one last look at him. He looked blooming with his beard trimmed and clean cut hair.

Strangely, he didn't even greet me. Who are you kidding? You just have him a little our in a caffee and think he'd get attached? My dinky imp whispering.

I let out a hiss to my self and shaking my head to drop the absorbance.

My meal arriving got me stare at its edible art not so perfect assembled cheesy bacon whooper with nuggies and fries making the rematch in my tummy cease.

While I enjoy my little feast, I could feel eyes looking at me like a creep some of them even giggle. Wtf. Human can't get any weird. One teen heading to my direction excited and scared at the same time and she pass right to me heading to the table next to mine.

"Wow. I did get quite assuming there." I peeped trying so hard not to grin or people might think I'm cracked.

"Can we please have a photo?" The girl begged the guy. Me being intrigued and found out who the person was she was asking.

"Just one more please." The girl begged again.

"The first one looked lovely already dear." As I stood up and head to the next table,  with that signified sod off face of her.

"And who are you?" Not giving her the satisfaction she require.

"Narci, what are you doing here alone? You should've just ordered online" That washed his discomfort. "I understand you're being humble with your fan but some should-" I turn to the girl again "understand that you also need privacy, especially at meal time" Giving her a sweet smile. "I'm his sister by the way"

Like a splash of ocean wave she vanished. I didn't meant to scare her, its just the way she reacted.

"Why would you do that?" Narci keeping his cool.

"Cause why not? You're obvious discomfort says you need rescue and I'm wonder woman" Always proud of me.

"Appreciate you!" Chumming his meal. "Is this a pre-face reveal, letting those earshot I'm your brother?"

"Shut it. I'm worried already when that teenager run pale, I must have petrified her with the sister thing" I hissed.

We walked together getting in the condo and parted. Feeling wrecked and yawning my way to the comfort room to have sponge-bath.

I keep yawning and yawning until i finished. Infatuated by the thought of sleeping "Where have you been in my life?" I muttered giving my whole human body cupped by the mattress.
