I removed his arms on my waist at muling bumalik sa dati kong pwesto and since humupa na ang mga tao dahil dumiretso na ang mga ito sa dancefloor ay mabilis na akong nabigyan muli ng maiinom but cranberry and vodka is not doing its job anymore so I asked for tequila.
Colton occupied the stool next to mine but he didn't drink, pinanood lang nito ang ginagawa ng bar tender. Hindi ko sya pinansin at nagpakalunod.
"That's enough." He plucked the glass from my left hand and I can't even fight him because I'm too intoxicated.
"Oohkay." I stood up and made my way to the direction of the doors, well I think I'm heading for the doors but I'm not really sure
"Where do you think you're going?" He blocked my path and tilted my head with the tip of his fingers
"Wonderland."
"But you're walking the wrong way."
"Alam mo kung saan?" I beamed at him when he nodded at kaagad kaming lumabas papunta sa sasakyan nya. It was a sleek silver gray porsche and I can't help but run my hands on the hood.
"Nice ride." I sleepily said before sliding inside when he held the door open, kaagad naman syang sumunod sa loob
"Is there a problem?" He asked when he caught me staring at the entrance of the club
"My friends, they're still inside." I pouted habang itinuturo sa kanya ang mustang ni Eros. They haven't left without me.
"Gusto mo ba silang hanapin sa loob?" I nibbled on my lower lip and thought about it.
"Nasa loob din si Jackson." I mumbled with a sigh
"Peram ng phone." Inilahad ko ang kamay ko sa kanya. He cast me a suspicious look kaya binawi ko ang kamay ko.
"Wala naman akong ibang gagawin sa phone mo, gusto mo ikaw pa mag text sa kanila." I turned away from him.
Bumuntong hininga sya at sinubukang iabot sa akin ang cellphone nya para makabawi but I didn't accept it.
"Here." He took my hand and placed his phone on my palm. Humapdi ang sugat ko sa kamay but I smiled despite the sting dahil napa-payag ko sya.
Mabilis akong nag type habang si Colton naman ay nag simula ng lumabas sa highway
Eros and Dom, this is Achila. Nauna na ako.

Somewhere in the back of my mind past my alcohol induced stupidity, a little voice whispered harsh truths in my ears. Wala talagang wonderland. At hindi ka pwedeng magkasya sa maliit na rabbit hole but those fleeting thoughts are drowned by a certain guy na itago nalang natin sa pangalang Peter...and this Peter have very pretty eyes.
"Peter, 'bat tayo nandito akala ko pupunta tayo sa wonderland?"
"Peter?" Kunot noo nyang tanong, I giggled.
"Nalimutan mo na ang sarili mong pangalan?" I leaned closer to him and smoothed his frown with my thumbs
"Ikaw si Peter...Peter Pan." I smiled goofily at him
"At ang sabi mo dadalhin mo ako sa wonderland, kaya bakit tayo nandito?" It was a small diner called Fred's and its open 24 hours according to the sign near the counter
"I think you're mixing up two different stories." He explained before pushing a steaming mug of coffee in my direction
"I don't drink coffee." Anunsyo ko habang itinatapat ang mga kamay ko sa steam
"Then try it, take a sip."
I'm not the kind of girl who easily follow orders but something in his gaze made me change my mind...so I took a sip and burned my tongue
"Its bitter...and hot" ngumiwi ako habang sya naman ay nangingiti. He looks younger when he smiles. And I realized that I want him to smile more often and because of that I gulped the rancid drink...just to see him smile again.
"It tastes like gasoline, its awful."
I stuck my tongue out and made a funny face after finishing the coffee.
I saw him smile again and felt my lids becoming heavy.
"Gisingin mo nalang ako pag nasa wonderland na tayo." I yawned and closed my eyes.
