Secret and Lies

PART 45

THIRD PERSON'S POV

"Why?" Jhoanna asked. Mikha looked at her and rest her arms sa sofa na inuupuan nila.

"What do you mean?" Mikha asked.

"Bakit mo ni-reject si chie? Alam naman naming lahat you love dancing more that anything else" Colet said.

"Wala lang ako sa mood ngayon" Mikha said.

"Is that so? O baka naman kasi nandun si aiah kaya ayaw mo?" Sabi ni gwen sabay turo sa couple using her eyes. Kaya napatingin silang lahat don.

Napalitan naman ang song na medyo sexy and now seeing how aiah wave her hips na nakapag palunok kay mikha, kasi ito ang first time niyang makita ang best friend niyang sumayaw. But what really caught her guard off is the fact na nakatingin sa kanya si aiah intenly habang ginagawa ang kanyang sexy moves.

Agad naman inalis ni mikha ang tingin niya dito. Natatakot siya na baka hindi niya mapigilan na pahintoin si aiah at pull her off from the dance floor. Napainom naman si mikha ng isang glass ng alcohol at na ubos ito agad. Nakita naman nila ang reaksyon ni mikha kaya napatawa silang tatlo.

Jhoanna was saved from mikha's hitting nung biglang dumating si chie na nahihilo na. Agad naman tumayo si mikha papunta kay chie ng bigla babagsak na ito pero agad naman nasalo ni mikha ito. Chie lifted her head up and smiled at mikha. Masasabi na she had enough alcohol na.

"You should take her home na, Nakarami na yan oh" Gwen said and tumayo para puntahan si sheena na finefeel ang sarili sa dance floor.

"Yeah right, Sabihin mo nalang sa kanila na mauuna na kami ni chie" Mikha said.

"Miks ingatan mo yan ah" Jhoanna said.

"Mag ingat kayong dalawa and iuwi mo ng buo yan baka ano pa gawin mo" Colet said na nangaasar pa.

"Nah bye guys!" mikha said. they just nodded and walk away from them.

Nung makarating si mikha sa bahay, hinubad niya ang coat niya at binato sa sofa. Dumiretso naman siya sa kusina at nag hanap sa cabinets to search something. When she finally found what she's been looking for, napangiti naman agad siya.

"Perfect!" Mikha said habang nakatitig sa bote ng whiskey na hawak niya. Hindi niya na enjoy ang pag inom niya sa bar kasi kailangan pa niya mag hatid at umuwi.

Umakyat naman na si mikha para sa balcony niya ituloy ang pag inom niya.
Drinking right under the sky full of stars while the night breeze hitting your skin ang nakakapag relaxed kay mikha.

"Now, a cigarette would make it perfect" sabi ni mikha at kumuha na ng isang stick sa box of cigarettes niya.

A few minutes later, Nakarinig si mikha ng kotseng paparating. The car stopped revealing stacey and jhoanna, tahimik lang ni mikha pinapanood ang dalawa and what surprised her is nung hinalikan ni jhoanna sa cheeks si stacey bago umalis.

Hindi alam ng dalawa na may nanonood sa kanilang dalawa. Ayaw naman mag assume ni mikha kasi mas gusto niya malaman ang totoo.

Nagulat naman si stacey nung makita niya si mikha sa balcony na nakatingin sa kanya ngayon. Nakaramdam naman ng kaba si stacey nung makita niya si mikha na nakatingin sa kanya teasingly. Nagulat naman si stacey nung maramdaman niyang nag vibrate ang phone niya sa pocket niya. It was mikha who is calling her. She looked back once again and saw mikha's smirk.

"H-hey?" Stacey said and smiled awkwardly kaya napatawa si mikha.

"Hi! want to come over?" Mikha said.

"Ano naman ang makukuha ko kapag pumunta ako diyan?"

"Hmm....A drink with the most handsome girl in the world?" Mikha said which stacey rolled her eyes.

"Yung confidence chicken ah. really" Stacey replied and mikha just chuckled.

"So, pupunta ka ba or not?"

"Do you have anything ba bukod sa whiskey?"

"Kumuha ka nalang don sa kitchen, I think i saw some vodka there"

"Okay, One more thing mikha"

"What?"

"Itapon mo nga yang hawak mo"

Napatingin naman si mikha sa hawak niyang sigarilyo at napatingin kay stacey na nakakatitig ng masama. natawa naman ito bago niya itapon ang kanyang sigarilyo sa trash bin sa tabi niya.

Pinakita naman ni mikha ang kamay niya kay stacey na wala na siyang hawak na. Napangiti naman si stacey at pinatay na ang call at tuluyan na pumasok sa bahay ng kanyang pinsan. Kumuha siya ng isang bote ng vodka and a glass bago pumunta kay mikha.

"You haven't had enough?" Tanong ni stacey at pumunta sa tabi ni mikha na nakasandal ngayon sa verdana.

"Hindi ko masyadong na enjoy yung kanina ee, Being a driver sucks" Mikha said and they both chuckled. Inangat naman ni mikha ang glass niya for a toast and stacey gladly accept it.

Few minutes later of silence filled the space between then nag decide si mikha na sirain yon.

"I kissed chie" Mikha said and took another sip from her whiskey.

"I know" Stacey said that make Mikha almost choke.

"P-papaano?"

"You both came with swollen lips, ano paba ang iisipin ko?"

"Is that so?"

"Yup. So, kamusta sa pakiramdam miks?"

"Nothing more like when aiah and I did that."

"Oh. ano na ang gagawin mo ngayon?"

"Im about to follow gwen's advice"

"So ida-date mo na si chie?"

"Apparently"

"Paalala ko lang mikha, Hindi mo lang siya masasaktan ah but yourself also."

"Alam ko, But there's nothing wrong diverting my attention to someone else right? But who knows? Maybe mahulog naman ako sa kanya as time goes by."

"Fine pero you have only until the tour end got it? Pag si aiah parin talaga stop dating chie and move on by yourself"

"Now parang kaboses mo na si mom"

"Ayoko lang din masaktan mo siya kasi that person loves you that much, Alam kong alam mo kung ano pakiramdam non"

"Yes mom" Mikha said lazily and stacey nudged her slightly making the both of them giggle.

"Oh. May itatanong nga pala ako sayo staks" Mikha said earning a confuse look to stacey.

"Ano yon miks?"

"There's something odd between you and jho. Baka naman may gusto kang sabihin sa akin?."

Stacey eyes grew wide and cleared her throat before responding.

"You know what? Napadami kana ng inom ng alak mikha Kailangan na natin matulog it's late na"

"But I saw how-"

"WE. NEED. TO. SLEEP!" Sigaw ni stacey and pushed mikha inside ignoring the annoying whine of hers.
