"Cheers!" glasses clicked before they downed the tequila in one shot. They all shrieked and hooted nang maubos na nila.

And by 'they', I mean they. Lahat sila nagpapakalasing maliban sa akin. The club's music pounded in my ears, making me deaf while the sweat is making me nauseous. Today is our victory party matapos akong manalo sa International Music Awards. Best Asian pop singer. Akalain mo nga namang manonominate ako dahil sa kanta ko at music video na kasama si Sheimaeka, di ba?

"Max! Bakit hindi ka umiinom? Para saan pa 'tong party mo? This is supposed to be your walwal day, di ba? Astaka, it's not like every day you could go to Vegas. Go, uminom ka na!" pamimilit sa akin ni Lalisa sabay bigay ng isa pang baso na may lamang inumin.

I rolled my eyes. "At sino naman ang maghahatid sa inyo, aber? Eh pati si kuya reymond na driver dapat natin, umiinom eh. Willing ka bang magpasagasa mamaya?"

"Regina is here. And why, Max?" this time she rolled her eyes and placed the glass on the table. "Hindi ka pa ba nakakamove-on kay Victoria? Eh, four months na 'yun eh! At isa pa, halata namang nakamove-on na yung isa." Sigaw niya over the music.

She sighed. I wouldn't have known that she did if I wasn't looking at her. "You know, what? You should just-"

"Hi gorgeous." Sabi ng isang lalaki sa amin. Agad tumalikod si Lalisa.

"I'm sorry, dude. I'm taken." She replied icily.

The guy- he was a little Hispanic and Latin (a wonderful mix, really) - scrunched his forehead and looked at Lalisa as if she had grown two heads. Lalisa is quite a looker, if I must say. She's got a good figure as well. But his reply wasn't what we were expecting.

"Not you, miss. I mean him." Pagkatapos niyang sabihin iyon ay namilog ang mga mata ni Lalisa. At tumingin siya sa akin.

The guy immediately went between the two of us and inched closer to me. "Are you free tonight?" he huskily whispered at me causing my neck to get goosebumps. Both in a good and bad way.

I've had quite a few flings back in Australia. All of them were guys. Pero, iisa pa rin naman talaga ang laman ng puso ko kahit ilang beses kong dayain ang sarili ko.

In a good way, kasi ngayon lang talaga may nagdare magflirt sa akin ng harap-harapan. I kinda missed the feeling. Iba kasi yung orientation sa Pilipinas. At siyempre, lalaki ang role ko doon.

And in a bad way, kasi nakatitig ngayon si Sheimaeka. Multiple emotions flooded her face and it made me read her like an open book. She's jealous, alright. And angry.

I internally smirked.

I could finally get my revenge pagkatapos niya akong pagselosin sa kanilang dalawa ni Justin for four months- four long freaking months.

Friends ba kamo? Sure! Ikaw na ang nagsabi 'non ha? Ibig sabihin, pwede kong gawin ang kahit na anong gusto ko. Kasi nga, friends lang tayo, di ba? Akala nga ng lahat, dahil sa break-up ko kay Victoria ang dahilan kung bakit ako naging malungkot. Little did they know why- or who.

"I sure am. Wanna dance?" I huskily replied back. I downed the shot from a now gawking Lalisa. Hindi ito makapaniwala sa nakita. Parang sinusunog ng alcohol ang lalamunan ko. Uggh!

While he and I danced, I could see Shei drinking like there's no tomorrow. Hindi pa nga niya nauubos ang isang baso, meron na kaagad siyang hawak sa kabilang kamay.
