Hindi alam ni Cassidy kung bakit napag tripan nilang mag Xylo. Yes, they are planning on it since last week until she had to go to Singapore for a fashion shoot, but none of them really enjoy drinking alcohol.
She also can't hold her alcohol. Hindi siya madaling malasing, but when she wakes up the next day buong araw siyang lutang at masakit ang ulo.
Naalala niya na noong high school silang magkakaibigan ay iced tea or softdrinks lang habang naglalaro ng poker ang pampaantok nilang magkakaibigan during sleepovers.
"Nag Xylo pa tayo kung uupo lang din pala tayo? Sana naglaro na lang tayo ng chess o kaya Scrabble sa penthouse" Basag ni Ellie sa katahimikan dahil literal na nakaupo lang silang apat sa VIP table na kinuha ni Avrille para sa kanila pero nakuntento na silang uminom ng cocktail and mocktail drinks.
"Ellie's right! We should hit the dance floor!" Avrille said to hype them up.
"I feel like I still have a jetlag." Sagot ni Cassidy sa kaibigan.
"Maka jetlag ka! Kala mo di pareho ng timezone ang Pinas at Singapore." Sabat ni Billie while taking a sip of one of the many glasses of margaritas that they ordered.
Avrille and Ellie laughed.
"Billie's right. C'mon, Sidd! Baka next clubbing natin sa 30th birthday mo na." Pangagatong ni Avrille.
She rolled her eyes. She'll probably just eat a huge bowl of pasta when she hit the big 3-0, but she still got four years left of her 20s.
"Fine, let's go and do whatever you do on a dance floor." Sagot niya at hinila niya si Billie dahil mukhang wala itong balak tumayo.
"Belinda, sumayaw ka rin. Wag kang KJ jan!"
Dahil mas matangkad siya rito ay nahila niya ito agad kaya wala na rin itong choice kundi sumunod.
They were already out of their seats when the music suddenly stopped and everyone seems to be staring in one direction.
That's when she saw four familiar drop dead gorgeous guys walking towards them.
She knew them so well, she practically grew up with them.
Si Milo na kinakapatid niya, at presidente ng isang multinational financial company sa Europe.
Si Mikko, the player and rebel without a cause, at ang first love ng kaibigan niyang si Billie. He's her least favorite among Kaizer's friends.
Then there's Chase, the heartthrob and matinee idol who is loved by everyone. He's her favorite among Kaizer's friends dahil ito ang pinakamabait.
Finally, there's Kaizer, her bestfriend, and the man she's secretly loving since time immemorial.
They're The Heartbreak Project, a very popular pop/rock band until they disbanded a few years ago to take over their family's business empires.
"Hangang dito ba naman pagmumukha pa rin ng Kaizer na 'to iyong makikita ko? Kulang pa ba yung imagination at panaginip?" Naiinis na sabi ni Cassidy sa isip niya.
She's still not talking to him because of the blind date fiasco. She hates it na nakikialam ito sa love life niya, samantalang siya no comment sa pagpapalit-palit nito ng babae.
"Hey, Sidd! I didn't know you'll be here!" Bati ni Kaizer sa kanya, with his arms drape over a woman who looks like a model.
"Just hanging out with my girls, and I'm not surprise to see you and the boys here." Nakangiting sagot niya, trying not to sound sarcastic, which is hard because sarcasm is her second language.
