Under The City Lights Of Chicago

Chapter 06

And typically our morning routine inside the house was no other than to fight. Small little things always lead us to big argument.

"Koleen, you're being hard headed! Can't you hear me?" Rinig kong sigaw niya.

"I'm leaving!" I shouted.

Kaya umalis muna ako just to calm my mind. I called Cha to see me to the nearest club out here. Iniwan ko si Zaiden sa bahay.

Dahil Nakakainis siya!

Cha and I went to the mall at noong malapit ng gumabi ay pumunta na kami ng bar. I didn't ask any permission kay Zaiden dahil uuwi naman ako agad.

I'm hyping with the crowds. And dance together with the music. It feels like I calmed after wards. I can feel my world spin a bit. So I decided to sit in the high stall near the bartender. When I calmed. I raised my hand.

"Can you give me a glass of tequila?" I said. Before following my order.

Napa angat ako ng tingin when I heard a familiar voice jus beside me!

"Bring the drinks on the V.I.P room,"

"I need your name sir." The bartender ask.

"Zaiden," He said!

I cursed so many times. Pilit ng umiwas ng tingin.I waited for a minute bago dumating ang order ko ngumiti siya at binigay sakin. I grabbed the glass and didn't have the chance to smile at the bartender dahil nag mamadali ako.

I tiptoed to walk silently.

But, shit!

Our eyes met.

Parehos kaming gulat na nagtitigan sa isat isa!

"Koleen, Lets go." One of my colleague guy friend came to fetch me.

Mabilis akong tumayo at susunod na sana sa lalaki when Zaiden grabbed my wrist.

"She's not going with you. She's married." He said in a tern voice!

I hissed. "Zai!"

Kinapitan din ng isa iyong kamay ko! They were both holding it. I saw how Zaiden's eyes flicker with madness. Kaya mabilis kong binitawan iyong kamay ni Kyle at hinila palayo si Zaiden.

Hinila ko siya palabas at mariin na tinitigan! For God's sake I'm having fun!

"What do you think you are doing, why are you here?"

"I'm just having fun, Zaiden." I said nonchalantly.

"With boys?" Galit niyang sabi.

"You're here. So why Can't I be?." I crossed my arms. "So you're here, every night? With who with your gurls? So I'm just giving you a fair treatment, moron!"

Aalis sana ako nang hinila niya ako ulit. I hissed.

"We're going home."

"I won't going with you. My friend-"

"Don't worry about it. I'll tell my friend about it."

"I don't trust your friend." Giit ko.

He hissed. Pinasok niya muna ako sa sasakyan bago bumalik ulit sa loob para ipasundo si Charity. Balak ko pa sanang tumakas kaso magagalit naman ang kumag na 'yon!

Napanguso ako habang naka sakay sa sasakyan niya! I don't have any choice! Nakakainis! Wala akong choice dahil nakakatakot siya pag galit.

We're living with eachother but those first days ay hindi siya natulog rito at hindi ko alam kung bakit.
