He's Real

Chapter 12

Pag-uwi namin,parang nangigigil si Maze.

"Do you know what he's talking about? Where's Soiré? Damn, I've got to find that asshole!" Sabi niya habang unti-unting namumula ang mukha.

"Calm down,would you!"

"How can I? The guy who killed my family is out there on the loose! Tell me,how can I?!"he shouted with such fury.

I couldn't response. I knew I was wrong. Wala ako sa katwiran para sabihin sa kanya ang gawin.

Napahilamos siya sa mukha niya. He's so angry!

"I-I'll contact Tria if she knows the place. If it's a club, I'm sure she'd know." Sabi ko at tumalikod mula sa kanya. I'm stuterring!

"Hello Tri? Am I bothering you?" Sabi ko on the phone

"Of course not! Why?" Sabi niya in such a happy tone.

"Ah, I was wondering if you know Soirè?"

"Soirè? As in Soirè place? Why? Are you clubbing tonight?" So it is a club.

"Nope. Uhm,just asking." On my peripheral vision, I saw Maze in a apologetic look.

I wrote down the address Tria gave me. Having a party animal as a bestfriend isn't so bad after all.

"Uhm Maze, here's the address. Tri told me that it's an exclusive and high-end club. And that it's hard to get in without a sponsor." I said without looking at him.

"But in this case, I think it's an exclusive party so we'll need an invitation but it's impossible to get one so..."

"Leave it to me." He sighed. "Just...get dressed."

Umakyat ako sa kwarto and looked at the mirror. What should I do?

I took a shower at hinulod ko kahit ang kasulok-sulokan ng paa ko.

I scanned through my wardrobe. What should I wear? All I have is jeans and shirts and dresses that won't suit parties. Ugh!

Nagsearch ako sa google ng mga outfits para sa parties pati na rin makeup tutorials. Gosh, I need Tria right now!

Nahanap ko yung dress ni Tria when she slept over here when she was wasted. Good thing she left it here.

It was a black fitted tube dress with a small v cut on the cleavage part.

Can I do this? Shit! Para kay Maze!

I applied a thick eyeliner and red lipstick,courtesy of my bestfriend,which came in handy in this situation.

Binlow dry ko ang buhok ko and I tied it into a bun since di naman ako marunong maghairstyle.

I brought my mom's purse with me where I placed my phone and other etceteras.

Bumaba ako and I saw Maze wearing a white button down shirt,grey coat,trousers and shades with his hair combed upwards. He's way hotter with his hair like that.

Napansin kong bahagyang nanlaki ang mata niya ngunit agad din itong bumalik sa dating serious look niya.

"Taas ng araw ah. So,how do you plan to gate crash?" Tanong ko.

"Just trust me. I'm a professional. And..."he licked his lips at hinila ang buhok ko na kanina'y nakabun na ngayon ay kulot na. He placed it on my exposed chest. "..there. Better." he said and sighed.

I handed him the keys of our BMW. Marunong naman akong magdrive but I doubt he'd let me take over.

"I thought you weren't into being a 'rich kid'? How come you have of those uhm..." hinead to foot niya ako. "...dress"

Biglang akong ginapang ng kaba. Bakit? Pangit ba? Aish, dapat kasi nagcasual na lang ako eh!

"Nevermind,let's go" he muttered.

Tensed na tensed ako habang nagdridrive. Jusko, eto ba yung tulad ng mga nababasa ko? Yung nakikipagbugbugan siya ng one against many?

Pinark niya ang sasakyan ng medyo malayo sa Soirè.

"Stay here. I'll be back. Huwag kang lalabas."he said with an authoritative tone.

After 20 minutes,bumalik siya na may kasamang isang babaeng mukha nagpast out. What did he do? Is she dead?

"What happened to her?" Tanong ko habang chinecheck ang pulse nito. Thank God she's still alive.

"I didn't kill her. We have no time for chitchat." Sabi niya at pinaandar ang sasakyan papalapit sa club.

"Here's our invitation. You hand it over to the bodyguards and act natural"inabot niya sa sa akin ang invitation na mukhang galing sa babae.

To be honest,he looked like some hot bachelor or celebrity in his outfit. Nabura ang mysterious aura and it was replaced with intensity and elegance instead.

I handed the invitation at napatingin ang receptionist sa amin. I tried to act calm but deep inside ay kinakabahan ako dahil baka mabisto kami ni Maze.

Sa awa ng Diyos ay pinapasok naman kami. Nakahinga na ako ng maluwag.

"You can drink but not too much or not at all. Blend in but don't flirt. Don't catch people's attention,okay woman?" Bulong ni Maze sa tenga ko habang nakahawak sa bewang ko.

Can I at least flirt with you then?

Pagpasok namin ay sinalubong kami ng amoy ng usok at iba't-ibang kulay ng ilaw. The dancefloor was wild but the party doesn't seem to be on its peak.

This is going to be a long night.
