Enchanted

7. Second Encounter

Loud music, heavy drinks and people dancing & flirting are all around.

Well, I am really not expecting this! Ang buong akala ko ay remoted ang lugar nato! Far from civilization, far from this things that only in cities can be found.. pero mali pala ako. Hihihi.. andami’ng bars nga pala talaga dito at yung iba, mas maganda at sosyal pa compare dun sa Manila.

We are busy chatting about something when Julia stopped and stare at something.. or someone?

“Bakit Julia?” malakas na tanong ni Cassie dito.

“Well, may hot guy na nandoon na kanina pa nakatingin dito sa table natin.” Sagot ni Julia habang tinuturo ang tinutukoy nito na lalaki.

I just rolled my eyes at her. Basta si Julia talaga ang hilig sa gwapo, pero kahit kailan di pa nagkaroon ng boyfriend! :P

“Then why don’t you make your first move, babe?” tukso ko dito.

Humagikhik din si Cassie nang makuha nya ang sinabi ko. Si Julia naman pinandilatan lang ako ng mata. Haha! :P

Julia had a very funny experience about flirting before.

It was Cassie’s 18th birthday that time, so it only happen just a year ago. She got a major crush on Cassie’s brother, Magnus. So she tried to get his attention by seducing him but it only turn out to embarassed her. Hindi talaga marunong makipag-flirt si Julia before.. kaya nagmukha lang sya’ng tanga in front of Marcus. I can still remember how Julia let herself get drunk that night.. not only drunk but dead drunk. As if mawawala ang kahihiyan nya by drinking tequilla A LOT!

“Try me?” asar na baling ni Julia samin ni Cassie.

I just chuckle before I sip my glass of blue margarita.

“Well sorry babe but I think that hottie is not really unto you. Look at him, he’s staring at Ara.” Sabi pa ni Cassie as she wave her hands at the stranger there talking about.

“Pansin ko nga din ehh. Sayang, ang gwapo pa naman sana nya!”

Kaya tiningnan ko din ang lalaki’ng tinutukoy nila. At muntik ko nang mabuga sa harapan ni Julia ang iniinom ko ng ma-realize ko na si Psycho Guy pala ang kanina pa nila’ng pinag-uusapan.

“Hey Ara! Careful!” sigaw ni Julia na biglang napatayo sa upuan nya.

“Babe, are you okay?” sabi ni Cassie habang hinahagod ang likod ko, nag-uubo na kase ako ehh.

Tumango nalang ako at mabilis na kinuha ang clutch ko ng mahimasmasan ako ng konti. Cassie consulted her watche when she noticed me packing my things up.

“Hey, aalis na ba tayo? We just arrived a while ago tapos uuwi na agad? Right Julia?”

“Ara! Ayoko pa’ng umuwi. Ang aga pa kaya!” naka-pout na sabi din ni Julia.

“Babes, let’s just transfer to other bar nalang.. not here!” sagot ko sa kanila.

“Why? Ang cool nga dito ehh.” Tanong ng nakakunot noong si Julia.

“Because, i’m not safe here!” nagpapanic na sagot ko.

“WHY?” –Julia/Cassie.

Napabuga muna ako ng hangin bago ako sumagot.

“Because that guy you’re busy discussing a while ago is no other than Psycho Guy! So hurry up and let’s just go away from here!”
