When Will It Be My Turn?

chapter 29

Celine's POV

"What happened?" Kuya asked, also confused on why Isabel just left when she just said earlier that she had nothing to do anymore.

We all looked at Lorraine.

Do they have a bad history together? why both of them look tensed when they saw each other?

"I don't know too." Lorraine answered plainly, she might've noticed us staring at her with lots of questions in our eyes.

She looks more scary now, her eyes held no emotions, she look so intimidating, it's like one wrong move she's gonna kill us.

"I'm tired of the long drive, can I use one of your guest rooms here for a little while?" She looked at Azari then me, I nodded and Azari guided her to one of the rooms available here. Kuya looked at her confused, I know na kahit si kuya ay gustong tanungin si Lorraine kung anong problema but he knows best not to ask right now.

Even a numb person can feel that Lorraine is not in the mood to talk about it, so we just let her. It didn't take long at bumalik na rin si Azari sa tabi ko. We decided na umakyat na rin sa kwarto at magpahinga muna uli since maaga pa naman at wala rin kaming balak gawin buong araw.

"Rest well, Celi."

"You too." I entered my room and locked it.

Ever since that night, my room changed. nandito pa rin ako sa master bedroom pero wala na dito ang mga litrato nila ni Olivia. iba na rin ang interior ng kwarto, as in binago na niya talaga ang itsura.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit, nung itinanong ko naman sakanya she just simply say. "I just feel like it" it was weird, but then I decided to just drop it off and just enjoy the moment. I like the new design too, it's simple yet cosy.

---------

I woke up at the sound of my phone ringing. I lazily picked up not checking who the caller is.

"Hello?" my voice a little sore.

"Good evening ma'am, i'm sorry to bother you but your friend here is really drunk." A feminine voice said.

Napabangon ako bigla at tinignan kung sino ang tumawag.

your bel🔔

"Where is she?" agad agad kong tanong at para bang nawala lahat ng antok na nararamdaman ko.

I checked the time it's 9:57pm.

Fuck, nakatulog ako buong araw.

Agad agad akong bumaba at nakita sa living room sila Azari kasama ang kapatid ko at ang girlfriend niya. Halos mukhang kakagising lang din nila.

Napatingin silang tatlo sa'kin at napalapit ng makitang taranta na taranta ang boses ko.

"What happened?" Azari asked as she touched my cheeks making me look at her.

"I-Isabel" I breathed out. my heart is beating so fast, I am really worried. the last time i heard that isabel got drunk is nung muntikan na siyang maaksidente.

She told me she don't normally drink or kung iinom siya konti lang, kapag uminom talaga siya hanggang malasing, something happened na hindi niya na talaga kayang ihandle.

And when she and her dad fought before, uminom siya ng sobra, she didn't tell me the reason why, she was in paris nun, I got told na isa ako sa mga nasa emergency calls niya kaya ako ang tinawagan but hell. How am I supposed to help kung nasa ibang bansa siya? I remember how worried I am to the point na balak ko ng kausapin si Azari about it but then hindi rin nagtagal nasabihan ako na okay na siya at hindi naman daw ganun kalaki ang mga damages na nangyari.

Since thankfully hindi ganun kabilis ang pagpapatakbo ni Isabel ng kotse.

Those scenes flashed back in me and hell I was so fucking worried.

I saw how Lorraine's face changed, kinakabahan na rin siya at sobrang nag-aalala.

"Where is she?" She asked almost too quickly.

I saw how worried she is, her hand is lightly shaking too. I told her the address at bigla-bigla niyang kinuha ang susi ng kotse niya.

"I'll pick her up." Hindi na kami nakasagot lalo na't sobrang bilis niyang nakalabas ng bahay.

Tinignan ko si kuya at malungkot lang siyang nakatingin sa girlfriend niya nang umalis ito. Azari is still holding me in her arms calming me down. I didn't realize na nagppanic ako kanina not until I heard Azari telling me to match her breathing which I did.

I stayed in her arms and closed my eyes.

"She'll be okay."

Isabel's POV

"I told you I'm not fucking drunk." I hissed at the bartender who just grabbed my phone and called who knows in my phone.

I took my phone out of her and grabbed myself another drink, she's trying to stop me from drinking but I'm just too strong for her.

I looked at the dance floor and saw lots of people dancing in the middle, loud music echoed to the whole club as lot of them is swaying their hips to the beat.

A blonde girl caught my attention, she has a blue orb eyes like hers. I shaked my head, trying to forget the brunette. I must've made a mistake.

that can't be her.

But I saw how her eyes changed when she see me, we're both thinking the same thing. I can't be wrong but fuck, how did that happen?

Is she a fucking zombie?

I saw the blonde girl made her way towards me, smirking.

"Hi there, darling" she said seductively as she bend down a little, showing me her cleavage.

"I noticed how you kept staring at me there." She added as she snaked her arms around my neck.

I didn't say anything, I just looked at her. She looks like her.

"Wanna dance, pretty girl?" She whispered in my ears as I felt her nibble my ear.

"Sure" I felt how my eyes is slowly closing yet I tried to keep it open to accompany this gorgeous woman. I put my hands to her waist as we danced the night away.

She turned her back to me and started grinding me her ass, I won't lie to you, it does turn me on. I can't even remember the last time I got laid, maybe  7-8 months already? I smiled cheekily, as I held her waist while she's grinding on me. She smiled seductively when she felt my nails dig into her skin.

She faced me again, lust filled her eyes and I assure you, mine too. I can feel the growing desire inside me, I just want to forget everything. I want to forget a single brunette.

I saw her leaning in so I closed my eyes, seconds passed yet I don't feel her lips being pressed on mine so I opened my eyes just to be met by someone who I truly want to forget tonight.

"What do you think you're doing?" She asked with venom in her voice.

I didn't answer, I just looked back at her. anong ginagawa niya dito? don't tell me siya ang susundo sa'kin at tinawagan nung bartender? But I don't remember having her number.

My thoughts were cut off when I heard her making the woman leave.

"I told you to leave." Lorraine said again but the woman infront of me didn't budge.

"Who is sh-" Even before the girl finished hinila na 'ko papalayo ni Lorraine, not minding the people na nababangga niya along the way. Ni hindi na ako nakapalag since I know to myself na I am drunk.

"Just what the hell are you thinking, Isabel?" Bulyaw nito sa akin nang makarating na kami sa parking lot.
