I woke up with a throbbing headache. "Goddamnit. I am never drinking again." I muttered then followed it with a groan because my head started to hurt.

Damn! It was like being hit with a hammer o n your head! Ugh! This is not good. I tried to stand up but there was a heavy thing on my stomach and legs. I checked to see what it is then my eyes instantly bulged when I saw a man's arm. I looked at my side. Nakadapa ito kaya hindi ko kita ang mukha niya. Tinanggal ko ang kamay niya na nakapatong sa tyan ko at dahan dahang tumayo.

I wasn't wearing the dress I wore last night. I was wearing an oversized shirt. I sti had my undergarments on but I didn't have any shorts. The shirt reached half of my tigh. I walked to the bathroom and looked at my self in the mirror.

I looked like a mess! Nanglalagkit din ako dahil sa make-up na hindi pa natatanggal. I decided to take a shower.

Oh god, I forgot clothes. Shit. What if he's awake? I'm only wearing a tiny towel for Pete's sake! How am I supposed to go out like this?!

I bit my lip then I heaved a deep sigh. I slowly turned the door knob and peeked outside. He was still sleeping so I silently tiptoed to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth, took a bath and went out wearing a tiny towel wrapped around my petite body.

"Hey," sabi ni Storm.

"You're awake." sabi ko. Suminangot si Storm.

"Why do you sound dissapointed?" He asked. I rolled my eyes at him.

"Kasi gusto ko na matulog ka na lang habang buhay para wala ng magulo sa buhay ko." I answered while looking at him intently.

Inirapan lang niya ako. Humarap muli ako sa cabinet at binuksan iyon. Humugot ako ng isang shirtvat boxers. I put them on. Kumuha din ako ng isang shirt para kay Storm. "Here," I said at hinagis ko sa kanya ang tshirt.

He put it on. Sinuklay ko naman ang buhok ko gamit ang daliri ko. "Let's go. Ipagluto mo ako. I'm starving." sabi ko pagkatapos niya isuot ang shirt.

He cooked fried rice and hotdogs. We started eating quietly. Minsan, nagjojoke siya kaya binabatuhan ko siya ng tissue o kung ano man ang mahagip ko.

"Do you have something to do today?" I asked.

He looked at me tapos umiling. "Wala naman. Why?" He asked.

"You sure? Baka naman biglang tumawag si ulan tapos magaya ng date?" sabi ko at nagtaas ng kilay.

He made a face. "Hindi. I'll tell her na may usapan tayo." sagot nito with a shrug.

"Eh paano kung pilitin ka niya?" I asked. Kinuha ko ang baso ng tubig na nasa tabi ng plato ko at uminom habang nakatingin kay Storm.

"You know what? Just finish your food." sabi nito. "Where are you planning to go nga pala?" He asked.

"Sa Red 10 sana." I answered.

"Do you think it's too early to go clubbing?" he asked. Nakakunot ang noo nito ng sabihin niya iyon.

I rolled my eyes at him. "Duh. Yung kotse ko kaya nandun." I said.

"Oh." sabi na lang niya. Tinapos na niya ang pagkain niya at tumayo. "I'll just take a shower then we can go now. Your clothes are in the dryer. Kunin mo na lang dun." sabi nito.

I nodded and he went inside his room. Tinapos ko na ang pagkain ko at hinugasan na ito. Lumabas naman si Storm after a few minutes. We went out of the condo and rode the elevator down to the basement. Sumakay kami sa kotse niya and we drove to Red 10.

"OKAY, This is me." sabi ko. "Thanks." I looked at him and smiled bago bumaba ng kotse.

Kita ko na ang kotse ko na nakapark sa di naman kalayuan. Nilapitan ko iyon at kumunot ang noo ko ng makita ang isang lalaki na nakasandal dun.

"Excuse me? Who are you?" I asked the guy. He looked at me and I stared at his eyes. Oh, wow. Nice eyes.

"Are you the owner of this car?" he asked. Tumango ako. "Oh. Anong pangalan mo?"

Nagdalawang isip pa ako kung sasabihin ko ang pangalan ko. My parents told me not to talk to strangers dahil baka bad person ito. But the guy infront of me didn't look like a bad person at all. He was hot and I'm sure he had a fair share of his women.

"I'm Sunny Villega." I answered. A smile flashed across his face.

"Sabi na nga ba eh." He said. Kumunot ang noo ko.

"Huh?"


"I'm Matthew Jiminez. Does arcade and Mr. Fluffy ring a bell to you?" He asked.


Kumunot ang noo ko then I remembered. "Oh! Ikaw pala yun! Hi. Bakit ka nandito?" tanong ko.

"I own the Red 10." he said like it wasn't a big deal at all.


My jaw dropped. "Are you serious?" I asked.


He nodded. "Dead serious."


"So, that means my drinks are free from now on?" I asked. He smiled. "I was joking. Ikaw naman."


I followed it with a laugh so he laughed too. "Well, una na ako. I still have some stuff to do." sabi ko sa kanya.

"Yeah, sure." He stepped aside. Sumakay na ako sa kotse ko. He knocked on my window kaya pinagbuksan ko ito. "Can I have your number atleast?" He asked.


"Yeah, sure." I asnwered. Kinuha ko ang phone niya na inaabot niya sakin and I entered my number. I gave it back to him and he thanked me.


Pagkatapos nun, I drove off.
