"You're going back to the Philippines then?"
I nodded and kept sipping on my mocktail drinks. I couldn't drink alcohol cuz I get drunk too quick. I am always the problem whenever I have hangouts with my co-models back then. That's why I casually drink now. I don't wanna be a burden to them anymore, especially to Jen. Siya ang palaging nag-aalalaga sa akin sa tuwing nalalasing. Well, sila naman ang palaging nag-aaya so I am their responsibility! I grinned.
"I'm planning to go home too." Jen spoke.
"Let me come!"
"Later, Liz." She smirked that I laughed.
"Sure!"
And they began teasing each other and later make out. Our other co-models were also minding their own business now. We need this. Katatapos lang ng fashion show namin this week. I was so tired from the show but I still managed to join our after-party.
I stood up and went down to the dancefloor when I got bored. I joined and danced with the crowd. Hindi na sana ako magtatagal roon dahil sa nalalanghap kong naghalo-halong amoy ng mga tao. But someone made me stay. He made me stay just to satisfy his eyes for watching me intently.
I continued kissing with this random blondie woman I'm having a sexy dance with in the dancefloor now. She smells good and kisses good. Our hands both exploring each other's body as we sexily danced. She knows what she's doing. Mas umangat pataas ang maikling skirt na suot ko. We laughed and danced more. But my eyes still remained open as it directed to the man who's been watching me since earlier. There are a lot of men watching the dancefloor anyway. Pero siya, kahit saan ako magpunta, nakasunod siya ng tingin. Wala siyang ginagawang kung ano man. He was just there in the second floor, leaning and sipping his drinks while stealing glances at us.
Hindi ko alam kung coincidence lang ba na nagkita kami rito sa Dubai o ano. Hindi ko alam kung bakit siya andito. But what I heard before when we met together with Tita Savannah, he was traveling. So maybe it's really a coincidence. But why did he watch my show? He was there the whole time.
"You're hot." This blondie woman complimented me and touched my boobs.
"You're hot." I grinned and licked my lips.
She smiled cheekily. There is something in her smile that made me smile too. Or was it just her two tiny dimples beside her lips?
She was about to kiss me again when a tall curly man pulled her from nowhere and danced with her too. And the next thing I knew, they were gone and left the crowd. I just danced with a man and flirted with him. I glanced at the second floor and I haven't seen Elij there anymore. I stopped dancing and left the man I was dancing with.
I left the dancefloor. Nang umakyat ako sa second floor ay hindi ko na talaga nakita ang presensiya ni Elij. It's either he found a girl to fuck tonight or he already went home. I shrugged and rested for awhile. I'm tired. I checked the time in my wristwatch and it's already 11 o'clock in the evening. I feel sleepy. Kalaunan ay nagpaalam na akong umalis at nauna na akong lumabas ng bar.
"Quartz,"
I was searching for my car keys when someone called my name.
"Holy shit!" I cursed sharply out of shock.
My sleepy eyes found Elij leaning on a car, one car away from my rented car. He's also smoking and looking at me. I'll sneeze with the thick smoke if it will come to me.
"You even curse now..." He blurted out and threw his cigarettes after he puffed the smoke away.
Oh my god, that was so sexy. I've seen a lot of men in the Hollywood, but when it's him...
