My Ghost Girlfriend

MGG 19

Hi

"Argh..." I immediately closed my eyes and firmly pressed it with my thumb as pain starts throbbing in my head. Damn that Johnnie Walker.

I lay still and let the ache subsided. Back in the day, I was not the type of person who usually gets a hangover after a session. Maybe it's because of the fact that I've never had one since the accident and my body is still currently recovering. Fuck. I feel like shit.

I opened my eyes and abruptly shut it again. What the hell was that? I think I saw---realization hits me to damn heaven. With a pounding heart, I opened my eyes as fast as I could. A rush of disappointment flowed through me. No, don't do this to yourself. She's probably in heaven now. I shook my head and abandoned the thoughts of a certain woman. For Pete's sake! Why am I even thinking about her again? I'm sick.

I went to the bathroom and washed my face before deciding to check the morons downstairs where I can hear Ace's stubborn whinning. I don't know how and who brought me to my room. We were all clearly wasted last night except for Dame who, among us, has the highest alcohol tolerance (obviously Camisole has the least).

"Sinasabi ko na sa inyo hindi ako namamalikmata!"

Kumunot ang noo ko pagkarinig ng pagmamaktol ni Ace mula sa kusina. Nadatnan ko siyang nagpapaliwanag kay Lancelot na mukhang hindi naman interesado dahil nakatutok lang ang atensyon nito sa cellphone na hawak niya. Ace has been repeating the same thing but no one seems to be listening. Napailing nalang ako bago lumapit kay Dame na kumukuha ng tubig mula sa fridge. Ngayon ko lang napansin na nakapagbihis na sila at mukhang handa nang sumabak sa gyera. Hindi na nakakapagtaka dahil may sarili naman silang kwarto rito sa bahay at closet na ipinagawa nila para raw hindi na hassle kapag tinamaan sila sa gitna ng meeting at naisipan nilang magsleepover.

"Ano na naman bang pinagtatalunan ng dalawang yan?"

Mula sa pagkakayuko ay tumingin siya sakin at inabutan ako ng tubig. "Some notional girl Ace fancied last night."

Muli kong nilingon ang dalawa.

"Fine. What does she looked like?" Lancelot asked.

"Hmm..." Ace thumped his fingers on his chin then later frowned. "I-I can't remember."

"See? You're delusional!"

"I'm not imagining things! I swear I saw someone!"

Lancelot huffed. "Bawas bawasan mo ang paghithit. Ayokong mabugahan."

"Damn it. Why don't you believe me?" Hinilamos niya ang palad sa mukha at pabagsak na umupo. Napailing nalang ako.

"No cussing, boys." Nalipat ang atensyon ko sa kung saan galing ang boses at agad na sumama ang gising ko pagkakita sa kanya. He gaze at me and smiled. "Mag umagahan na muna kayo, apo."

"Woah! Breakfast!"

Mabilis na umupo si Lancelot sa tabi ni Ace samantalang tinignan muna ako ni Dame bago sumunod.

I just stared back at the old man and walk passed him. Pumasok na ang mga katulong para maghain ng pagkain sa mesa.

"Kaytagal ko kayong hindi nakita. Ang lalaki niyo na!" Masiglang sabi niya na nagpairita sakin.
