Dolce
"Love the view?" I asked flexing my biceps infront of the mirror and turned my head to my older sister who wore a smug look on her face.
"Dude, we're gonna be late magagalit na naman sila, Cisco. They are waiting for us," iritado niyang sabi sa akin at hinawi ang kamay ko na nakatapat sa mukha niya.
"I don't care," humarap ako ulit sa salamin at tiningnan ang buhok ko mahaba na 'yon at medyo nagf-fade na ang kulay.
I looked at my sister fixing her hair in front of the mirror, tumingin ito sa akin na nagtataka.
"What?" She asked, raising her left eyebrow.
I laughed. "You look like a monkey," sabi ko at patakbong lumabas sa cr.
I went to my room and grabbed an outfit for the night out: a sando and black pants with a red belt, layered with a matcha-colored suit jacket. I put on my Rolex and a silver necklace to match it. I looked in the mirror, brushed my buzz cut hair with my hand, and admired how well it suited me.
I took my keys from my bed lside table at kinuha ang aso ko sa higaan, I checked the clock; It was already 10:30 pm, we are already late kaya binilisan ko na ang galaw at tinawag na si ate Aya.
"Pormang-porma ah," nakangisi kong sabi sa kanya nang makapasok na siya, "shut up, Abelano, just drive."
I started the car engine at pumunta na sa distenasyon sa Centré Distrito ll.
"The rules Abelano, don't forget," babala ni ate Aya, tinanguan ko nalang siya bilang responde sa sinasabi niya.
"Mom and Dad will be mad at you again if you get into any trouble. Dad will probably send you back to the hacienda. Mark my words, you'll lose the city life," she warned.
"Uhh, fine I'll follow the rules, okay?" I said boredly assuring her. Di na siya nagsalita pa, nang makarating na kami ay ako na ang nagpark ng sasakyan, lumabas ako at bungad kaagad si Cisco
"Dude, ang tagal mo, they are waiting for you." bungad niyang sabi, tinanguan ko lang siya pumasok na sa entrance pinakita ko ang I.D sa bouncer at pinapasok na kami, the noisy sound and dancing lights hitting my face, inikot ko ang paningin ko. The VIP section wasn't too crowded.
When my other friends spotted me. Syd came over "Abelano Shanti Dolce!" tawag ni Syd sa buong panganlan ko at inakbayan ako.
"Stupid ass, why are you calling me by my full name?" I asked irritatedly natawa naman siya at nang makalapit na kami sa table ay binigay na sa akin Exis yung shot.
I saw some of our girl friends at the second table, probably spilling some tea.
"How's Paris, Abel?" Exis asked, so I turned my attention over him. "We celebrated dad's birthday and it's fine," I said boredly while sipping at my cup. I looked around looking for someone na never naman a-absent sa mga ganitong occasion.
Si chicago.
"Nasaan si Chico?" I asked, "may sinundo," Exis answered kaya napataas ang kilay ko, bago pa man ako ulit magtanong ay dumating na si Chico at may kasama na lalaki
Nakipagfist-bump mo na ito sa amin at nagtapikan sa likod, "who's that Chico? Your new boy?" Exis asked laughing.
"The fuck dude, this is my cousin," he defended, I glanced at the boy. He is wearing a red leather jacket, a black top with a pearl necklace, and black jeans with a Cartier belt.
"Nice fit," I mumbled under my breath, "This is Conan, Conan, this is my friends, Exis, Syd, Cisco and also Abel." pagpapakilala ni chico at tinanguan naman niya.
