Once Upon A One Night Lust

Chapter 16

CHAPTER 16

Back to JEREMIAH'S P.O.V

Yang wajah sangat familiar tu.

The lady... is very beautiful. And she reminds me of someone.

Di mana saya pernah nampak muka dia ni ah?'

As much as I tried to remember, but I can't recall where or when. Or who she is for that matter.

Argh! Inilah bah terlampau minum. Buduh kau, Rem.

Hampir saya mau walk up to her and ask her name.

Lagipun cara dia pandang saya seakan dia pun pernah nampak saya. Macam kami pernah terserempak. Macam kami pernah berkenalan?

"Em! Another shot of success!" A guy lifted a glass to her.

She took the glass and gulped a shot. But her eyes never leaving me.

Handsome sangatkah saya ni sampai perempuan secantik dia tidak dapat mengalih pandangan dia dari wajah saya?

Out of courtesy, I lifted my glass, cheers from a distance and tilted a smile.

Terbulat mata dia.

Why is she looking at me with shock in her eyes?

Astaga. Macam dia nampak hantu saja.

Saya belum mati bah kan? On the way saya jalan pergi sini tiada saya kena rompak dan tikam atau kena langgar bulldozer bah kan? Atau saya tidak terkena stroke kah atau heart attack gara-gara lebih 10 shots sudah saya minum.

I turned to the bartender as he poured me another shot.

"Can you see me?" Saya tanya dia.

Dia nampak terkejut.
"Yes, sir." Dia jawab sopan.

"Do I have eyes?" Saya tanya lagi.

Manalah tau saya kurang satu mata, kena tembak kah mata saya masa saya jalan keluar dari hotel tadi.

"Ummm, yes, sir." Dia jawab lagi, tapi ni kali macam dia tengok saya lain-lain sudah.

"Two?" Saya tanya lagi tidak puas hati saya ni. Dia mengangguk. "Hands?"

Mana tau tangan saya terputus kena langgar truck.

"Yes, sir. Do you want a mirror?" Tu bartender tanya saya.

Hahahaha!

"Ada mirror?" Saya tanya ni kali.

"The washroom's on your right." Dia bilang. "Or the dance floor."

Ah, the dance floor banyak cermin.

Tapi saya sambung dulu minum sekejap.

Namun sekejap nampaknya melanjut sampai the club mau tutup.

Okay, tiada orang lain yang tengok saya macam saya ni hantu. So I ignored the lady in green the whole night.

"Sir, kami tutup sudah." One of the bouncers menyapa saya.

Kabur-kabur sudah pandangan mata saya.
"Ano...ther..."

"Sorry, sir, last call was 10 minutes ago." The bartender bilang.

Saya menarik nafas dalam, menghembus nafas kasar and got my wallet out.

"Swipe." Saya bilang.

Settle bayar, saya berdiri and left the club's pub's entrance.

Saya masuk lift and the bouncer helped me to press the lift button.
"Lobby, sir?"

I just nodded without a word.
