The Breakup

Chapter 7

Aubrey's POV:

"You mean last night... you don't remember?" Tanong ni Alex na nagpasakit lalo ng ulo ko.

"So you're saying l-last night we... I uh-" My voice trailed off and I just couldn't look at his eyes.

A couple of seconds later he bursted out laughing. Damn it. What is wrong with him!

"Alexander!"

"God, Aubs. Your face!"

"Ano ba! Seryoso nga!"

He cleared his throat, "okay. Sorry. Last night, we had a small barbeque party, remember? Tapos umalis ako and then pag balik ko, may isang babae ng lasing na lasing pero sinasabi nyang hindi daw. Typical drunk."

I paused. "Yuck! Ako?"

Alex's playful face turned serious for a moment na parang tinitignan nya kung nagbibiro lang ako. Nung di ako sumagot tumawa ulit sya.

Ang tagal nyang tumawa. Hanggang sa hampasin ko na sya ng unan.

"Ay hindi, si Tin yun." He mocked. "Oo nga, ikaw malamang."

My eyes grew wide with shock and disbelief. "I did that? God. So that's why umakyat yung puso ko sa ulo ko."

"What?"

"I swear my pulse went up here." I pointed to my head like a little girl.

"Ginusto mo yan eh. So, I brought you here and pinunasan ko lang yung muka at leeg mo. Pati na din pala yung braso mo. Then I called Pat to change your clothes. Those are hers, by the way." He nodded to what I'm wearing.

Alright. So walang nangyari. Good! Ayoko namang ganito ang scene on my first time no.

I stood up and walked to the bathroom. Nasa tapat na ko ng pinto nang may maalala ko. I turned to Alex who was still looking at me.

"Anong oras na?"

"Past 9am. Why?"

"Ah."

Then it hit me, "shit! Si Sydney! Baka sobrang worried na yun."

I ran to my bag to check my phone.

"Don't worry. We already talked last night."

Napahinto ako sa ginagawa ko tapos nilingon ko sya.

"You what?!"

"Yeah. Well your phone kept buzzing, at wala yun sa bag mo. Ayun oh. Sa may table. So yun, sinagot ko. Tapos sinabi ko na nandito nga tayo at na bukas na lang kita ihahatid kasi nalasing ka. Akala nya nga kidnapper mo ko eh. Pero nagpakilala naman ako."

"And what did you tell her about you?"

"That we're going out."

"She believed you?!"

"I think so. I told her the same story we told my friends. Na we constantly talk online and she didn't ask much after that. I assured her na okay ka lang. But she did ask for my number and full name. Weird." He shrugged.

Oh, dear. What am I gonna tell her when I get home. Will she buy our story?

"Now. You. Go to the bathroom, shower, and wear something decent before I lose control." Sabi pa ni Alex avoiding eye contact.

Napatingin tuloy ako sa sarili ko. Then I realized I was just wearing super short boylegs and the spaghetti strapped thin sando.

Napatakbo tuloy ako sa banyo. I immediately locked the door and let out a deep breath.
