Her Little Secret

HLS - 25

25

I threw myself into clubbing like it was going out of style. Cillian and I usually bounced all over downtown clubs here in Manila before wasting stupid money to cover charges and having a fabulous time but when I got married I focused myself on work and forget about clubbing, Today is an exception. . . I guess? I need a break from all these crazy stuff running through my mind.

" Great place to get off of your feet for a while Mac ." I saw Cillian approached me without her usual flashy smile.

" And here I thought you're not coming here ." I teased her.

" Hahaha ako pa ba dude? I was surprise pa nung tumawag ka. . . Trolling our for today lover girl? " she jests

" I'm not trolling. . . I'm burning off tensions after a stressful day." I just smiled and shake my head. Cilly always do that to me.

" Cranberry" She said to the waitress. A pretty waitress set two pinkish-colored iced drinks in a square tumbler. She looked at me and gave me a flirtatious smile.

" Here you go pretty face, Can I get you anthing else?" she scans my physique with so much intensity tssk... cheap wh*re

" Nothing. . . Just get rid of your freaking face from us that it." I said and glared at her. She immedaitely stormed and I heard Cillian's laugh

" Pistik Bai... hahahha you're so mean. She's just doing her job you know. "

" She's practically throwing herself at me di mo ba nakita?" I exclaimed

" Piskit bai, kumalma ka nga, hindi naman siya naghubad sa harap mo. You are over reacting to her gestures."

" Pssh. Let's just drink, I want to cool down pero baka lalo pa ko mainis " I dismissed her. We then both raised our glass. I pounded it, draining the tumbler. My stomach churned for a moment, then settled. I saw her put her glass on the table and she handed me a folder.

" Everything inside in it is complete already. All you just need to do now is to let her sign then we can proceed in filing the petition.. Then --- "

" She knew about us . . . " I cut her off.

" Huh? What the hell? HOW?! " She exclaimed

" I don't know Cilly. Hindi ko rin alam paano niya nalaman. " I take a swing of another glass and slurp it all. She inhaled deeply, and then pulled away. Settling her drink down she had the grace to look disgruntled

" Pss... piskit Mac. . It's really happening. How did she react about it then?"

" She's mad of course. . . Crazy mad. . ." I shut my eyes remembering the way Ashley's eyes look at me with so much fury. I heard the slight amusement in her voice and swiftly change the topic

" Well you can't blame her Mac, alangan naman magtatalon siya sa tuwa diba?

" What about Yvonne? Alam na din ba niya tong set up niyo?" She asked me as she shoved a hand through her hair. The intensity of her gaze makes my stomach spin.

" Not yet, Dude." She stared at me for a good minute and then nodded

" So what's your plan then? " My gaze fell to my drink on the table, my thoughts swirling around in my head

" She moved to my place. . . "

" Remember the small villa I manage to obtain last year?" She nodded

" So that it? Ganun na lang yun Mac? Are you planning to hide her from Ashley forever? What about the divorce Mac? " All the chaotic emotion and energy that had been writhing around inside me abruptly become to much to contain in this moment
