Sultry Shanti

5 Too Drunk

SHANTI POV

Vic and I partied so hard that night, we drink like we are parched and grind like it's our last. I have known Vic for the longest time, we constantly flirt and sometimes we compete on the race tracks. The things we did after the race were just for show. Everybody's mocking Vic for losing and I dont want him to have a reputation of a loser in front of all those racers. Vic is one the good guys and he doesn't deserve being pitied or ridiculed. He can atleast mend his bruised ego by being the man who can kiss Shanti Almonte and gets away with it.  And to top it all off, being applauded because of it. I mean, all the guys there are livid with envy because Vic can kiss the one and only Shanti Almonte.

"So who's the guy?" He asked then drinks his beer from the bottle.

"What guy?" I nonchalantly asked as I too drinks my beer.

"That guy who can make you stop from your devious plans." He said and smirked at me. He's teasing but at the same time curious.

"He's a nobody." I shrugged.

"I think I saw him on the race track too. Is he following you?" Usyoso niyang muli.

"Of course not! Why would he follow me? That's ridiculous!" I said and scant the crowd only to find Xavior looking straight at me, ignoring the two girls beside him touching him all over. His eyes intense and disturbingly hot. Hindi ko natagalan ang titig niya at binaling muli ang tingin ko kay Vic.

"See? He's watching you!" Ani Vic pero sa akin din siya nakatingin na para bang ramdam din nito ang kakaibang paninitig ni Xavior. I smiled at him and kiss his cheek.

"Forget that creep! Hey, Are you really worried about me, kinky vic?" I flirted and he laughed at my winking eye.

"You know I love you Shanti!" Pagsakay niya pero kita ko ang pahkasinsero sa mata niya. I pinched his cheek, hard.

"Yeah, as you love all the female population eighteen years old and above!" Natatawang sabi ko na nagpatawang muli sa kanya.

"But seriously babe, don't you think it's weird he's always there? Is he a stalker? Should we atleast report him?" Naroon pa rin ang pag-aalala sa mata ni Vic kaya naging genuine na ang ngiti ko sa kanya. Na-touch talaga ako, walang halong landi.

"Then let's make a run for it!" Masayang sabi ko at hinawakan ko ang kamay ng nagulat na si Vic at hinila siya palabas ng Valkire Bar. Tumatawang nagpating-anod naman si Vic. Sumakay kami sa
convertible camaro chevy ni Vic at bago niya i-start ang engine ay hinatak niya ang batok ko para halikan ako. I let him, it's the adrenaline of running and making out that we both seek laced with booze and the need for physical contact.

Vic scooped me on the passenger seat and placed me on his lap, good thing his car is hoodless, hindi ako mauuntog.

"Naughty!" I whispered in his left ear as I straddle him. Malakas na muling nagtawa si Vic. I can feel his hard bulge that I'm sitting on. He kissed me again and he now felt my reluctance. He sighed in my ears. He knew the excitement is gone. Our senses are back. And the adrenaline rush is over.

"Baka lang makalusot." Natatawang bulong niya. Nagkangitian kami. Vic is still the most gentle soul. Hindi niya pinipilit ang kagustuhan niya bagkus ay mas iniisip niya ang kagustuhan ko. Kaya naman ako na din mismo ang humalik sa kanya. The most gentle kiss I can give ng biglang maramdaman ko ang kamay na umikot sa aking bewang at ang biglang pag-angat ko sa ere. May bumitbit sa akin at parang bimpong sinampay ako sa kanyang balikat.

"Hey! What are you doing, man?!" Sigaw ni Vic sa lalaki.

"Sorry loverboy, no making out in public places! I came here to put an end to her mischiefs. Stop me and I will punch your face your mother won't even recognize you! Such a pain in the ass slut!" Anito at pinalo pa ang pwet ko na nagpalaki ng mata ko. Walang nagawang tinanaw na lang kami ni Vic.

Oh my Gosh! Tinototoo ata ni Xavior ang bantang pipigilan niya ko!

"Put me down, Xavior!" Sigaw ko sa kanya at binabayo ang likod niya pero hindi man lang niya ako pinapasin at patuloy lang sa paglakad. Nahihilo ako sa posisyon ko dahil na rin sa dami ng nainom kong alak. Napapikit ako sa pagkahilo ngunit bigla rin akong napamulat ng ipasok ako ni Xavior sa kotse niya na parang isang bagahe. Walang kaingay-ingat. Tumama ang tagiliran ko kaya naman di ko namalayan ang pag-ikot ni Xavior at pagsakay sa driver's seat.

"Hey! I'm not coming with you!" Inis pero walang lakas na sabi ko. Ramdam ko ang lalong pagkahilo dahil sa pagbaligtad niya sa akin. Walang nagawang pumikit na lang ako at hinayaang tangayin ako ng antok dahil sa nainom kong alak.
