The volleyball ended and nagyaya agad sila na kumain outside. Ica suggested a restaurant nearby and everyone agrees.
"You should try their lobster tails. That's one of the best sellers here." CJ said na naka-upo sa tapat ko. Tiningnan ko siya sandali pero agad din akong nag-iwas nang magtama ang paningin namin.
"Okay." Tanging nasabi ko na lang.
"Sobrang mahal naman pala ng mga pagkain dito, masasaid ang laman ng wallet ko. Itong congee na lang sa 'kin." Sabi naman ng katabi kong si Iryn.
"Don't worry, ma'am. It's on us. Order everything you like," Tamara replied.
"You're so dramatic." It was Louise while looking at Iryn.
"Anong dramatic? Palibhasa kasi mga rich kid kayo at hindi niyo naranasang magipit sa pera. Hay nako!" Iryn rebutted and rolled her eyes.
"Where did your salary go? Didn't I just give it to you the other day?" Louise said again and my curiosity shoots up.
"Wait, wait. Iryn, you're receiving salary from Louise? How come?" I can't help but ask. I noticed that the others are looking at them too, and I guess we're all feeling the same.
"Nagpa-part-time ako sa kanya." Her voice toned-down for a second, but she immediately recovered and raised the menu. "Ito na lang ang order ko, Tam. Isang lobster tails din at pesto pasta."
Gusto ko pa sanang magtanong, but I know this is not the right time for that so I'll just shut up for now.
After a good dinner, CJ talked about the hidden bar just under this restaurant and then she turned to me. "Do you wanna try the underground bar?"
"If everyone likes to go, then I guess I have no choice but to come." I shrugged.
"So, girls... are you in?"
As expected, everyone agrees at nangunguna pa si Iryn. Pumunta na rin kami agad sa may entrance door ng bar after magbayad ng bill.
The place was unexpectedly plush. I didn't expect this dahil ang narrow no'ng dinaanan namin kanina at parang pupunta lang kami sa stock room. The volume of their speakers is not ear-damaging which is a plus because I will definitely go home if it's too loud.
"Do you have a table for ten here?" Ica asked the staff who came to us immediately when she saw us walked in.
"We have, ma'am. This way, please." The female staff delightedly guided us to the elevated floor, where there's a huge L-shaped leather sofa with a rectangular glass table at the center.
You can see the dance floor from here even if it's on the other side, and what I liked about the area is that we don't have any nearby tables. It's like a VIP area where we can watch everyone in this bar.
We finally sat on the sofa while Louise was talking to the female staff. It looks like she's ordering for us because the staff is taking notes.
"Who likes to add more? Anyone?" Louise asked after awhile.
"Mayroon ba silang cheese sticks? Bigla akong nag-crave." Of course, It's Iryn.
"I'm sorry, ma'am. But we don't have that on our menu," the staff politely answered.
"But does your chef accept special requests? Because that woman will not shut her mouth until tomorrow if she doesn't eat the food that she's talking about." Louise asked again.
My attention shifted to CJ 'cause she's asking me something, "Are you sure you don't want anything?"
"Yes, I'm still full." I replied while nodding.
