The Beauty of Love

Chapter 13

Our singing session is still going. Now, Chanda's the one singing. And oh my goodness, I can't stop drinking. With every shot, I just want more and more. Cuervo's really something.

The girls and I are having so much fun. We're all still sober, but we're being playful now. Hips are swaying and we are laughing together because, dang, the night is fun.

Knowing them, they have high alcohol tolerance too, so we're pretty sure we won't get knocked down that easily.

We are vibing with the music. Right now, Obsessed by Mariah Carey is playing on the karaoke, and Chanda is singing it. We're all singing along with her.

"Why you so obsessed with me? Boy, I wanna know," we sang together. "Lying that you're sexing me, when everybody knows..."

Chanda looked at my way. "Damn, girl. Ada, you're so hot!"

"For real, look at those hips. Such a hottie!" Niña smirked playfully.

"Keep on grinding, babe. You're fucking sexy," Phoebe added.

I chuckled and shook my head.

"Mga bading spotted," tawa ni Maia.

We all laughed at that. I poured a drink into my glass again. The kantahan continues and when it's my turn, I sang Taylor Swift's Babe. They all went quiet while I am singing. All their eyes were on me. After the song, they all come over and hugged me.

We did a group hug. I was smiling while hugging them. They didn't say anything but even without words, their hug means so much more. And it's enough for me. I'm just glad they are here with me now.

And yeah, my heart hurts a bit while singing the song because I can relate to it, but I didn't cry. I know my heart did, but my eyes didn't. I don't want to ruin Maia's day just because of my own pain.

They didn't bring him up, so I feel very relieved. Instead, when it's Niña's turn, she sang a party song again. I'm sure it's for me to feel better, and it actually does. I jived in with them.

I let my mind in the moment. Not letting anyone or anything bother it for a while. I focused only on what's happening right now. We continued singing and vibing with other. I am laughing continuously because, shit, we are now twirking and hyping each other up.

The alcohol is slowly hitting me.

When tiredness hits us, we sat down for a while. We played a good song and started talking again about a certain topic. Our topic now is about the guy who will be here any minute now. Maia's describing him for us.

I took a shot.

"Single and hot, that's a combo." Phobe smirked and then laughed.

Niña chuckled. "I can't wait to see him. Even without his presence yet, I'm already drooling."

"Me too, girl." Chanda said, snickering. "Just pray for me tonight, guys. Huwag sana bumaba ang panty ko for tonight's video."

"Easy, Chands! What the fuck?!" Maia laughed.

I was just chuckling while hearing their conversation, not expecting Maia to suddenly look at me beside her. Shen then flashes a playful smirk while looking at me.

"What about you, sis? What are your thoughts about the guy?" her face is full of curiosity, waiting for my reaction.

"Nothing," I simply replied with a laugh.

All eyes are on me. It's as if they are going to listen to anything I'm about to say. I pouted because I know that look.

"I have no comments on him because he's not here yet," I added, feeling like my answer from earlier isn't enough.
