ONE SHOTS

Shot#12 BREAKING ICE

        I overtake and step on the gas not minding the other cars. When I heard Irish is in a bar, AGAIN. It makes me irritated and frustrated, AGAIN. Yes, she always did this then called me after because some dickheads are keep bugging her and touching her. I don't understand why she still go to a place like that then call me because of that. I can't just say no when it comes to a topic like that. Irish is my younger twin sister. As the older, It's my responsibility to guard her and she always take advantage.

I just came back from States earlier and this is her grand welcome to me. She's getting on my nerves again. That girl. Tsk.

I parked my car immediately and went out. Roaming my eyes around outside the bar, it's disgusting and too inappropriate. I catch the others attention especially the ladies. I don't care though, they're just a pain in my ass and ache in my head.

I know. I know. I'm still in my slack, polo and black shoes. Not appropriate to a place like this but yes again, I don't care about them. I went in, looking around trying to find my headache since birth.

It's too crowded. I came around, looking every corner hoping to see my face. Yes my face, we're really identical.

I turned right when I heard loud laughter's. I move forward and then I found what I'm looking for. She's laughing hard together with her company. Four ladies. A nerd one, a sly one, the drunk one and there she is, laughing her heart out.

I came forward to her then tap her shoulder. The laughter faded and she looked back to me. I stare at her coldly. She should know that she's not entertaining me this night around. I'm fucking tired and I have my jetlag for Pete's sake.

"Hey!"

She smiled from ear to ear. She stand up and hug me. She should never think that it will calm me.

"Welcome back, Icy!"

I almost rolled my eyes in her remarks. She's really over. Sobra na siya sa sobra.

"Let's go!"

I know it's harsh and sharp but I don't care. Pagod na pagod ako, gusto ko na magpahinga at mahiga man lamang.

"Hephep!!

We both turned our attention towards the one who interrupted us. My vision block with that gloomy and tired eyes. The drunk one. She came forward to me then look straight to my eyes in a few inches, I almost step backward to her aggressive action. She's not blinking. She's staring at me directly and seriously, but the gloominess and tiredness are still visible.

I secretly swallowed, my heart skip a bit.  I'm not intimidated right? I'm not. Not ever.

"What are you doing miss?!"

I just said it normally but it turns out cold. I stiffened when she put her palm on my checks. Left and right.

"Kapag ba sineryoso kita at sabihin ko sayong dati akong may lawit, seseryosohin mo rin ba ako?"

I stop. My mind is lagging. When I finally get her, my eyebrows creased and that's the time when her friends and my evil sister laugh their heart out again. She's still looking at me, looks like waiting for my answer. My heart does not skip only, but it runs faster. The faster that I've ever felt and imagined. No one's and nobody's did this to me, nobody's tried to stared at me this long, nobody's tried to look at me this nearly, nobody's tried to intimidated me the way she's doing right now. The fuck, what the? What the hell is her problem?

I blink when she tap my check then turned to my sister.

"I see. Magkamukhang -magkamukha nga kayo Rish. Kung hindi lang kulay itim ang mga mata niya baka mabaliw ako kakaisip ngayon kung sino si Irish at sino si Icy."
