"What's your poison?" The bartender asked with an inviting smile ng maupo ako sa isa sa mga stool sa may bar counter
"I want to drink everything." I replied as I slid another credit card across the counter.
"Start a tab." I told him as he took the card at tumango naman agad ito.
Sa lahat ng inumin na sinubukan ko cranberry juice at vodka ang pinaka nagustuhan ko kaya yoon ang kalimitan kong hinihingi
Luminga linga ako at nakita ang mga kaibigan sa isang booth kasama ang ilang babae. I would've prefered to be sitting with them but I know that my presence will spoil their fun and drive the girls away kaya nanatili ako sa may bar. Atleast I'm closer to the drinks.
"Hey, Diego, I want some more." I pouted and he immediately refilled my glass. I quickly downed the shot and played with the empty glass
More people joined me on the bar counter for their own fix as the night deepened, some would even try to strike a conversation pero naka focus lang ako sa baso ko na walang laman as if some liquor would magically appear inside it. Medyo tumagal kasi ang muling pag refill sa aking baso dahil masyado ng maraming iniintindi ang bar tender
"Come on, Colt, Dance with me." A sultry voice said as she sat beside me on the stool para matabihan ang isang kadadating lang rin na lalaki.
"Please..." Pag susumamo ng babae bago ipulupot ang kamay sa braso noong lalake.
"I didn't come here for that, Cassie." My skin prickled at his voice.
Nag angat ako ng tingin at nakumpirmang si Colton Cross nga iyon. He hadn't seen me yet pero mukha namang ayaw nya dun sa babae so in my alcohol fogged brain I left my spot and headed straight to him, its not really far but the liquor made it harder to walk on my heels
"I've b-been looking for you everywhere!" I exclaimed as I snaked my arms around his neck
Halata kay Colton ang pag kagulat but he didn't push me away so I continued what I am doing... I only want to help him anyway.
"Kanina pa ako n-nalulungkot dito." I slurred before glaring at the girl who still latched at his arms.
I averted my gaze back to Colton and saw his gray eyes looking back at me with something I couldn't fathom.
Oh hell, I thought to myself and without thinking I captured his lips with mine.
He didn't respond at first but I was determined and in a few tugs he was kissing me back.
He tasted like pepper mints and bourbon. I pulled away for air and noticed that he was gripping his seat as if that would anchor him to something.
"She's gone." He looked confused so I explained.
"The leech girl in the red dress, she's gone." He still looked confused so I decided to leave for the bathroom.
Dāmn, I had one too many drinks, I thought as I walked faster.
