Leah’s Point of View

Nagtingin ako sa walk-in closet ng gagamitin ko tonight papuntang bar.

Hmmm... white backless top and black high-waisted shorts paired with white pumps. I wore them then I put on maroon lipstick and light make-up.

Oh simple lang ako ngayon!

I grab my phone and wallet then lumabas na ako sa unit ko.

Napansin kong sabay pala kami ni Kesha na lumabas ng unit namin.

She’s wearing white sexy top and maroon mini skirt paired with black stilettos. And oh, dark red lipstick.

“You ready?” she asked.

“Always, honey.” I answered sweetly.

Bumaba na kami papunta sa Parking Lot. Pinagtitinginan nga kami eh. Well, what do you expect? A famous businesswoman slash model named Leah Rodriguez and a popular fashion designer slash model named Kesha Akiyama together, sinong hindi mapapatingin dun? Tsk. We’re already used to it.

I’ll use my Lamborghini tonight while Kesha will use her Audi. So, we got in and started driving our own cars.

While on the way, I’m thinking of something. Anong klaseng lalaki naman kaya ang fling ko this time? Bartender? Vocalist? Model? Actor? Whatever, basta gwapo.

And we arrived. Pagkababa pa lang, andami na naming nakuhang attention. All eyes on us.

Naisip ko na lang kung anong magiging reaksyon nila Marie pagkadating namin bukas. Yeah, I’m going back to Philippines tomorrow and Kesha’s coming with me. Tapos na ang dapat kong gawin dito. Naka-move on na ako at nagbago na ako. Hindi na ako madaling mainlove. Sa walong taon ko nga dito, never as in never akong nainlove sa kahit sinong lalaki.

Pumasok na kami sa bar na ito. FYI, this bar is for elites only. So, puro personalities ang laman niyan.

Pagkapasok pa lang namin, may sumalubong na agad sa ‘kin.

“Hi. You must be Leah Rodriguez? I’m Blake Fortner. 26 years old, model.”

He’s handsome, hot and an elite. Okay na, pasok na.

I kissed him on his cheek. Means, he’s now my fling. Fast, aight?

At mukhang may nakuha na rin si Kesha. He’s with a guy who looks like a basketball player. He’s hot, but he looks like a player. Tsk.

Pumunta kami sa may counter.

“Andito nanaman kayo, Leah-san?” tanong ni Matthew.

Matthew is the bartender here. He’s a Filipino. At close kami. Palagi kasi kami dito tumatambay ni Kesha para mag-boy hunting.

“Gusto mo umalis kami? Isasama ka na rin namin kasi ipapatanggal kita kay Jerson.”

Si Jerson ang may-ari nitong bar. Close din kami. Fil-am naman siya.

“Ay hindi hindi. Ikaw naman. Ba’t naman ko naman kayo paaalisin?”

“Tss. Margarita nga.”

Umorder na din sila Kesha ng inumin. Tapos ayun nakipaghalikan na sa player.

Habang naghihintay, inakbayan ako ni Blake. Okay lang ang akbay. ‘Wag lang bumaba pa. Kasi, kahit “bitch” naman ako, hindi naman ako ganun kagaga para hayaan silang hawakan ang katawan ko. I’m a decent bitch. A good bitch indeed.
