Ace

"I-I’m sorry.” I apologized, stuttering because of embarrassment. Gosh nakakahiya! Bakit ko ba naisipang pumasok na lang!?

“K-kumatok naman ako eh hindi ka sumagot kaya pumasok na ako.” I explained myself.

“It’s my fault too. I didn’t replied immediately.”  Pag amin niya. Whoa buti naman. But, really,

This man wants to stay quiet rather than fight for himself, which made my forehead knotted.

“Hoy anyare!?” Natatarantang lumapit sa amin si Lex at palinga linga na parang may hinahanap na magnanakaw.

“N-nothing,” I buried the truth.

“Ha? Eh, bat parang may sumigaw!?” Makulit niyang tanong.

I chuckled for her not to conclude that I was the one who screamed earlier.

“Wala gagi. Sabog ka lang. Imagination mo lang yan.” I giggled para hindi siya magtaka na mukha akong tense.

“Okay,” Whoa lusot. Tinulak ko na siya palayo sa kwarto ni Mohan para makaligo na siya. I looked back at him and gave him an apologetic smile.

“Hurry. Maligo ka na at may pupuntahan pa tayo.” I kicked her into the bathroom.

“Grabe naman to maka sip-“ I shut the door in front of her face.

I was embarrassed and couldn’t look at Mohan for the whole time as we eat breakfast!

Saksakin niyo nalang ako. Barilin niyo nalang ako. Gripuhan niyo nalang ako. Pero charot lang.

Ang hot niya sa totoo lang ha. Hard toned muscle and six pack abs. By just looking at his body kanina parang I want to bury my face on his chest.

Wait! I’m not lusting over him ah! Teka, ano ba ‘tong mga sinasabi ko?!

“Hoy Athena Grace!” I was startled when Lex shouted my name. Gosh! Ano ba ‘tong iniisip ko! Come on Athena, get back to your senses.

“I’m sorry I was just thinking of something. Come again, please?” I reasoned out.

“Sabi ko paabot nong rice.” Inabot ko naman sa kaniya ‘yong rice. 

After namin kumain tinour kami ni Mohan sa university and it was a little bit chaotic. Picture kami nang picture ni Lex kaya hinto kami nang hinto. It was fun and I met the figure skating club! I’m planning to join the club.

“Geo ‘di ba sport mo rin yan?” We both looked at him. He’s a figure skater too?!

“To kill time.” Ang short talaga but I didn’t payed attention to that anymore, all I want to do is to know about him being a figure skater.

“Really!?” I beamed, excited. “That’s awesome, ngayon tatlo na tayo.” Lex can skate too, we're both in love in figure skating.

After the tour ay nag shopping naman kami and as usual, ang gastos ko. Kung ano ‘yong ikinagastos ko ayon naman ang ikina tipid ni Lex. I should really make tipid next time.

I threw all my shopping bags on the sofa before laying in my bed, checking my phone.

Teodoro 🚽: Welcome to States my little sisters! Sorry ‘di ko na kayo nasundo sa airport busy kasi eh 🙁

Athena na matalino: It’s okay kuya. Mohan took care of us naman. Meet us ba?

Teodoro 🚽: Hoy gagi sinong nag palit ng nickname kooo

Quatros: I’m free later at night. You should guys grab the opportunity already.

Copy 😸: Gge lbre m. Sndin nyu kmi d2 wla kmi ssskyan

Quatros: Stupid. What's your car's and guard's purpose there? To model?

In the end ay hindi kami sinundo ni kuya because their location is far to us but they said they want to see us or should I say Kuya Tros said baka mamatay kami sa sobrang boring ng pag company ni Mohan. He’s so mean! Okay naman kasama si Mohan ah. It’s actually fun to be with him.

I changed into white crop top and black trousers with channel black belt. I just curled my hair since I don’t want my neck to be expose in the bar.

“Wow after a century you guys finally arrived!” Kuya Theo greeted us with his frowned face, complaining.

“Grabe gan’yan ba ang tamang pag greet ha, Theodore?” Lex snorted na naka pameywang pa. I giggled. Para kasi siyang nanay na pinag sasabihan ang anak niya. I and Lex hugged and kissed them on the cheeks.

When we got in to the club, the boys immediately ordered drinks and pumunta na kami sa VVIP section. We ordered margarita and tequila.

“Ito ba yung pambawi niyo matapos kayong hindi makadalo sa debut namin?” Lex raised her eyebrows at them.

“Huhu sorry talaga mga beshy ko kasi sobrang busy namin that time eh.” Si Kuya Theo habang nagpepeke pa na umiiyak.

After we finished all the shots, we ordered another cocktail but this time the alcohol content is higher. I think sinadya nila kuya para madali kami malasing ni bruha. I mean, their alcohol tolerance is so high! I think kaya nila uminom mula gabi hanggang umaga.

I was a little bit tipsy after finishing my 5th, 6th, I don’t know glass while the boys seemed like they didn’t drink at all.

“Hey guys! Maglaro na lang tayo ng truth or dare.” Kuya Theo suggested.

“Kung kanino matatapat yung nguso ng bote siya ang taya and kung kanino matatapat yung other end siya ang mag uutos.” Geez. I didn’t even know how I understood his long explanation.

“Game?” We just nodded before pinaikot ni kuya tros ‘yong bottle.

“You got caught in your own game.” Kuya Tros said. The bottle stopped at Kuya Theo and the other side faced me.

“Truth or dare?”

“Dare.”

“Get the mic there and sabihin mo 'Everyone, I’m gay please call me Thea from now on’.” I smirked. Lex giggled.

“What’s the punishment?” He asked. “You will seduce a man by dancing with him.” Lex and I giggled even more.

Kuya Theo chose the first one! Oh my gosh hahaha! Pinagtitinginan na siya ng mga tao.

“Okay, next.” Pinaikot niya ang bottle and this time it stopped at Lex and the other side faced Kuya Theo. Iniba kasi namin ang mga pwesto namin para mas exciting.

“Do you like someone now?” Don’t get Kuya Theo wrong, sadyang chismoso lang talaga siya. I was worried on what will Lex say because like me she’s already drunk!

“I like alxen.” She whispered, drunk. I’m drunk but I still heard it properly, I think? Kahit ang hina ng pagkakasabi niya. She’s even holding a bottle of beer! Alxen huh? Ma-interview nga ‘to mamaya.

“Tama na nga umuwi na tayo.” Oh, no fun!

I just found myself vomiting while Manang Fe is caressing my back and holding my hair to keep in place. I don’t even know the details kung paano kami naka uwi! Basta naka uwi. I just heard her calling Mohan to help me.

“Mmmm” I heard Lex moan out of frustration, she’s freaking drunk asf.

“To my bedroom.” She ordered our two kasambahay who’s assisting her.

Due to alcohol hindi na ako nakapag ayos! Mohan gave me a piggyback ride at sinamahan ako papunta ng bedroom. Wait, Mohan!? Bahala na, bukas ko na lang haharapin ang bagong kahihiyan na ginawa ko.

Before I fell asleep, I heard someone says ‘goodnight ace’ but I didn’t pay attention to that anymore. I just want to sleep already!
