Caiden's Point of View
As soon as we reached the street, I felt the thirst hit me. The smell of alcohol was already in the air.
God, I missed this.
It hit me hard how long it's been since I last went clubbing. Hopefully I hook up with someone tonight—if not, I'll just drink.
"So, saan tayo tonight?" Magnus said excitedly as we lurked outside, driving slowly.
"Of course! The usual, Mags. Our home!" I exclaimed out of excitement.
"Viking's nightclub!" we said and laughed in chorus.
I missed partying.
Nakaka-miss ding makipagkulitan sa mga kaibiganko habang lasing.I missed the feeling ofdrunkenness.
Isa pa sanang nilu-look forward ko 'yong may maka- hook up ako at gigising ako sa isang morning sex. That soundedright and glorious.
"Huh? May naka-park na Fortuner do'n sa palagi nating pinagpa-parking-an. Marami kayang tao sa VNC ngayon?" nagtatakang sabi ni Magnus at naghanap ng ibang puwedeng mapag-parking-an.
A sigh slipped out of me as I glanced at the club beside VNC.
I didn't even want to remember how terrifying and infuriating myexperience there was. I'd experienced things that no one deserved to experience. It was a total nightmare.
And I was not yet too comfortable talking about it. Now and then, it still felt revolting whenever I remembered how petrifying and traumatic it was.
It didn't happen just once, but twice.
Hindi ko sasabihing mas okay sana na isang beses lang nangyari, because either way, parehas lang nakagagalit. Sa tuwing naalala ko, gusto kong magalit nang magalit dahil wala akong nagawa para sa sarili ko.
Kaya gano'n na lang din ako makangiwi at makaramdam ng malalang pag-ikot sa tiyan sa tuwing naiisip kong may kapitbahay akong bading. I felt this weight in my chest, and I didn't feel safe.
I was even more irritated by how he approached me earlier, and by everything he said and admitted. Just remembering it made my anxiety spike and my irritation worse.
Yes, paulit-ulit kong naalala kaya paulit-ulit ko rin kailangan i-rant sa utak ko. Naiipon na nga lang nang naiipon.
Dumadagdag pa 'yong inis sa sistema ko kapag ginagawa iyong joke ni Titus. Gusto ko siyang intindihin at 'wagmapikon, pero hindi ko mapigilang hindi ma-trigger dahil somehow para sa akin, hindi naman 'yon simpleng joke at alam nila 'yon.
Malapit lang din sa VNC ang nahanap na puwedeng mapag-park-an ni Magnus. Sinubukan ko na lang i-sway sa isip ko ang taong 'yon. Sabay-sabay kaming bumaba at masayang naglakad papasok sa VNC.
We greeted the bouncer. Kaso mukhang bago kaya hindi kami kilala. Masungit at mukhang nagbabantay nang mabuti based sa expression niya. Hindi nga lang kami hiningan ng kung anuman. Nagbago siguro sila ng policy? Or I didn't know. Hindi naman ganito kaluwag dito.
