Take Me Deeper [R-18]

TMD-12

"Like when are you going to tell us who this mystery man is?" Kylie leaned over the bar and waved for the bartender to take their order. They are inside one of the most prestigious bars in the country, Remix. It was high-end and you can see na halos lahat ng mga taong pumapasok rito ay may mga sinabi sa buhay. It was quite different from the other bars that they used to go to where some people can get all rowdy and sleazy. And although she could see some people trying to hook-up with each other, hindi pa rin nawawala ang class ng mga tao rito. There are even some famous personalities and celebrities that are present. Most of them are in the VIP area but Aya could name some businessmen who prefers staying at the bar like the three handsome men sitting a few seats away from her. Looks like they are deep in a serious discussion.

Ayaw sana making ni Aya sa mga ito ngunit may kalakasan kasi ang boses ng isa sa kanila.

"I say let's try to hook him up with someone. Blind date or something. Paano makakapag-asawa iyan kung panay trabaho ang alam? Nakapagpakasal na lang si Scor at lahat--which by the way, akala ko hindi na rin mangyayari. But Randall's still...working." sabi ng isang lalaki na nakilala niya bilang si Aramis Sobrevega, the famous race care driver who's also the husband of her client, Charlize Sobrevega.

"I heard he invested on some architectural company?" the other one mused, he looked like he has chinese blood judging from his chinky eyes. "He's all over the place. Hindi mo na malamang kung ano talagang gusto ng isang iyan."

The other man groaned. He's wearing a black shirt and dark jeans na sobrang taliwas sa mga suot ng kasama nitong mga naka-business casual na attire. "Can't you give the guy a break? If we're going to keep on talking about RD's business as if it were yours, uuwi na lang ako."

"Ikaw, kahit kailan badtrip ka kasama! We're just worried about our friend, I don't want him to grow old alone."

"Let him be, Ram. RD's young and it's not okay for us to talk about him while we're sitting here, drinking his whiskey while he's out of earshot."

"And in front of his co-workers."

"He's used to it. And RD's not young! He's what? Lampas lampasan na sa kalendaryo! Baka mabuntis ko na lang ulit ang asawa ko, single pa rin siya." sagot ni Ram na ikinukumpas ang kamay. He took a chug of his beer. "Am I the only one who's concern about him?"

"We all are concern, man." Napangiti si Aya sa tinutungo ng usapan nila. Whoever that RD they are talking about, he has good friends. But although naiintindihan niya ang nararamdaman ng mga kaibigan nito ay nauunawaan din ni Aya ang kalagayan ng kung sinumang RD na iyon. Maybe he's just not ready to commit? Or maybe he's screwing someone just like she is. Hindi lamang nito masabi sa mga kaibigan. Again, just like her.

Naputol ang pakiki-Marites niya sa usapan ng tatlo nang yugyugin ni Belinda ang balikat niya. "What's going on with you? Kanina pa kami salita nang salita dito and you're not even listening?"

Aya sheepishly smiled. "Sorry." umayos siya ng upo at hinarap ang mga kaibigan. Nahiya naman siya sa mga ito. They all went out just to talk about her non-existent relationship at heto siya nasa ibang tao ang atensyon. "Have you ordered our drink?"

"Yes. I already did and God! Ang gwapo ng bartender nila dito, ha?" Kylie said while fanning herself.

Napahagikgik naman si Aya. Tinunton niya ang direskyon kung saan nakatanaw ang kaibigan niya. Standing there was a tall guy with messy dark hair and a cute dimple. He's busy mixing their drinks that he's oblivious to three women ogling at him. Napahawak pa nga si Belinda sa braso niya at pinisil iyon dala siguro ng gigil nito sa poging bartender. "Oh my goodness, If I weren't dating Pancho, i would definitely hit on him."
