My Perpetually Sunshine

Chapter 20

Sor.

"Cheers!" Sigaw namin as we raised our bottles.

"For Kia and Soria!" Sigaw naman ni Maya.

"Love wins!" Mikaila shouted and we started drinking our alcohol bottles.

It was 6 pm in the evening ng makarating kami sa bar. I missed this kind of place. Hindi ko naman naiwasan mapaisip kay Maybelle. I was drinking my drink ng bigla akong hinagit ni Maya sa dance floor.

"Let's enjoy this night Sor dahil ikakasal kana bukas." Natatawang sabi ni Maya at napangiti naman ako.

"I'm gonna miss my single friend." Maiyak-iyak na sabi ni Mikaila na pinipigalan ang tawa.

"Buang." Hinampas ko siya ng mahina at natawa kaming tatlo.

We were dancing as we formed a circle on the dance floor at sinabayan namin ang bawat tugtog ng music. Hawak-hawak pa rin namin ang bote ng alak at sabay pa kami lumagok kaya natawa nalang kami.

"You're so hot. Mind if I dance with you?" Napalingon naman ako sa bumulong sa'kin and I saw a handsome foreigner holding my hips.

"Ah-" Hindi na ako nakasagot ng bigla akong tinulak nina Maya kaya naramdaman ko ang boner niya sa likuran ko.

"Fvck!" I exclaimed at humarap sa kanya. He was still holding my hips at nakangiti pa sa'kin.

"Are you new here?" Pasigaw niyang bulong sa'kin dahil sa lakas ng music.

"Yes." Sagot ko naman sa kanya.

"Is it okay with you if we will go out? Let's have fun somewhere else babe." Napalunok ako sa sinabi niya. Alam ko iba ang ibig niyang sabihin.

"I can't." Lumayo ako sa kanya but he pulled me closer to him.

"Awww don't be a shy babe. I will give you cash after." I got goosebumps after what he said. Pumiglas ako sa yakap niya sa'kin pero hindi ako makagalaw dahil sa lakas niya. He leans towards my face at akmang hahalikan ako.

Blag!

Bigla nalang natumba ang lalaki and I saw Chloe was already riding his back and holding his hands sa likod ng lalake.

May bigla naman humawak sa kamay ko at hinatak ako palabas ng bar. When suddenly a music started to play.

Ain't never felt this way

Can't get enough so stay with me

It's not like we got big plans

Let's drive around town holding hands  

Nag slow motion ang bawat galaw niya as she held my hand with her warm hand. Napangiti nalang ako bigla habang nakatingin ako sa likuran niya.

And you need to know
You're the only one, alright alright
And you need to know
That you keep me up all night, all night

Yeah. You need to know Kia, you're the only one that keeps me up all night. Why this music sounds so good?

Oh, my heart hurts so good
I love you, babe, so bad, so bad
Oh, oh my heart hurts so good
I love you, babe, so bad, so bad

"I love you so bad." Nabigla kong sabi na napahinto sa kanya for a seconds at patuloy niya akong kinaladkad.

Napunta kami sa parking area at pinasakay niya ako ng kotse. I bit my lower lip as she started driving. We were both silent and I can sense her that she was mad. I was about to ask her if she owns this car but I feel the tension inside the car so I refused not to.
