SHANTI POV
I went straight to Valkire Bar to drink myself to oblivion. I ordered absinthe to burn my throat to the hardest drink. If I die drinking this potent drink, then so be it. Atleast, wala ng poproblemahin pa si dad na anak na kagaya ko. He will finally be free of me at hindi na niya kailangan pang ipakasal ako para lang mawala ako sa poder niya.
"I knew I would find you here." Anas ng lalaki na umupo sa tabi ko. Mabilis na bumalik ang sigla ko pagkakita sa lalaki. I miss this guy.
"What? Are you stalking me?" May halong pagbibiro na tugon ko sa lalaki. He chuckled and gave me a wink.
"Oh c'mon Shanti. We both like what happened that night." Sabi nito at nagtawa. He make it sound like something happened between us. Kita ko ang pagbulong-bulungan ng mga lalaki sa tabi ko na kanina pa ako pinapanood. Halatang inilakas ng lalaki ang boses para sa ibang makakarinig nito.
"Brian...brian... were you too drunk to even realize that nothing happened to us that night." Napapapalatak na sabi ko.
Men and their ego!
"Maybe we could change that tonight, babe!" Anito sabay kindat sa akin na nagpatawa sa akin ng malakas.
"You are really one big flirt Brian." I said sabay kurot sa braso. Hmm... ang tigas. I likey.
"Can you blame me for trying? A woman like you will always attract men like me!" Anito at nakakalokong ngumisi. Itinaas nito ang shot niya ar hinintay na iuntog ko ang shot glass ko sa shot glass niya.
I smile then toast his drink as we both drink the potent alcohol together.
"Whew! This drink can kill!" Ani Brian na nakangiti ko namang tinanguan.
"Yeah! Grabe ang tindi ng alak na ito." Napapapilig na lang ako ng ulo sa lakas ng sipa ng alak sa lalamunan ko.
"You're looking so hot tonight babe, I don't mind burning just to be near you." Husky na sabi ni Brian pabulong sa tenga ko. Nakikiliting napangisi ako sa binata.
"Are you using your stupid, fuck up lines on me, Brian?" Natatawang bulong ko din sa kanya. Nagkibit-balikat si Brian.
"I know it won't work on you. Baka lang makalusot." natatawa ring sambit niya. Napailing na lang ako. Nagseryoso na ang mukha ng lalaki habang matagal na napatitig siya sa akin.
"Why are you drinking yourself to death, Shanti? Heartbroken?" Aniya na tinutukoy ay ang matinding alak na kakatungga lang namin.
"Me? Never! I thought you knew me Brian, I'm insulted!" Umakto ako na animo'y nasaktan habang hawak ko ang dibdib ko. Malakas na nagtawa si Brian.
"Okay, that's a silly question. But Absinthe? Really now? You'll be crawling out of here in no time."
"Then you carry me home when I'm about to crawl, alright?"
"You know you can trust me babygirl!" Anito sa nakakalokong ngisi sabay kindat.
"I doubt it." Aniko sabay ngisi din sa kanya. I have known Brian from way back. Just like Vic, we constantly make out, but I never allowed them to go all the way. They knew my limit and they respect that. Kung baga hanggang MOMOL-MOMOL lang ang kaya ko. Brian and I almost did it when we both so drunk that night but he stopped. He said he doesn't want me to regret it by the morning, he likes me enough to not ruin me. From that night on I knew I like the guy. He portrays himself as a playboy but he's just a full blown gentleman. He is somehow fond of me.
"Babe, you know if you have a problem I'm here for yah, okay?" Anito sa seryosong tono.
"You really love me do you?" I said teasing him and letting him know I don't want to talk about it.
"Ah! if you only knew, I love you all!" Anito at nagtawa ng malakas, napatawa na din ako.
"But baby, I'm one in a million!" Aniko sabay trace ng daliri ko sa pisngi niya hanggang sa labi niya at idiin ko pa iyon sa pang-ibabang labi ng lalaki, parting his manly soft lips. Nakita ko ang pagnanasa sa mga mata nito. Tinatablan ito sa daliri ko lamang.
"Such a tease!" Anito sabay kinagat ang daliri ko na nagpakawala ng tawa ko.
Brian and I danced seductively on the floor, drunk and in heat. I like how he swayed me in tune with the beat of the DJ. He hold my hand and turn me around making my head feel heady. I let him support my weight as I lean on to him. I rested my head in his chest as we both sway. I felt him kiss my hair down to my cheeks and pull me even harder to him. I can feel his muscled body and his aroused manhood poking my upturned butt. I like how he swayed us both very slowly but nevertheless sensually. I was enjoying his small kisses on my neck when a hand grabbed me on my arm and pull me away from Brian. I heard gasps and a tud on the floor but my mind does not comprehend what is happening around me. I felt dizzy of the sudden movement that I let the tall man dragged me out of the bar without a protest. I was shoved inside the passenger seat of a black car and it was shut so hard that I flinched. Maybe I was too drunk to process what is happening so I let all of it happen. I felt really sleepy so I let myself doze off. I knew I'm drunk but I can't do anything about it now. Damn those Absinthe!
Bahala na! Kung sino man ang lalaking ito!
