My Cinderella

Drunk

"Alam mo Paul, just let me okay?! Fvck you." I said angrily at saka iniwan s'ya sa may hallway.

I was heading in a club near my hotel, I just want to clear my mind and have fun.

Pagdating ko ng bar, agad din akong nag order ng drinks. My arm still hurts pero bahala na. It's not like the very first time that I've experienced it.

Pagka take ko ng second shot ay napa buntong hininga ako at inikot ikot ang baso sa harap ko.

"You know it's not nice to leave someone who saved your ass earlier." I dropped the glass and looked at him.

God. Why are you here?!

"And it's also not nice to leave me-

"I go first so I could ask someone to help you also." He cuts me off. Okay alam ko namang hindi s'ya nag papatalo

I rolled my eyes at him and take another shot.

I could feel his pierced eyes at me as I drink my shot at pagtapos kong uminom ulit , tinignan ko s'ya.

"What do you want?" I asked tiredly.

"You."

Napatawa ako sa nasabi nito at inirapan pa s'ya. "I want you dead if you won't answer my question."

Ay akala ko ayon lang sagot n'ya. I looked at him and his aura turns into a serious and dangerous one.

"What is it?"

"What's your connection with Alejandro Sandoval?"

Whew. Keep it cool Xey. You are now a girl so act like a girl.

"Why the fvck you all after me and ask that shit?! As if I know that guy." I rolled my eyes at him and take another shot.

Pagka shot ko ng pang lima ay tinignan ko muli s'ya. he was just staring at me.

That's creepy.

"If not then do you know the people who chased us earlier?"

Natawa ako na parang loka loka at hinawakan ang kaniyang balikat. "That's your name right? Chase?" I said and I did not meant to say that. shit am I drunk already?!

I quickly cover my mouth and pretend I have hiccups. "How did you k-

"I'm from here. And I know a Vicasente owns Dean Haux building near my hotel. " Glad I made something up.

"Nobody knew that I am Chase Vicasente and nobody cuts me off. How dare-

"Then somebody has to. And wow, I feel lucky for knowing you. And the guy you killed earlier mentioned it too. How can't I forget that." I wink at him at mas lalong lumala ang kaniyang tingin saakin. Also anong ibig sabihin n'ya? Eh alam naman siguro ng lahat na s'ya si Chase Vicasente? Oh baka ako nga lang talaga? Sabagay, hindi naman ganong kilala ang anak ni Mr. Javier Vicasente. But I hope he let this topic go, I have no more adlibs. I'm a lil drunk.

"Fine. Whatever. Who are those people that chased me earlier?" I asked at naghalumbaba ako sa tapat n'ya.

"My Uncle's men and if you don't have any connection with Alejandro Sandoval then why you have that?" He moved close to me and put out my necklace.

Shit. I forgot.

Now I know why I'm the target. I have something that shouldn't be mine.

"My uncle was after you because you have these. It tracks-

"Awe. I did not know. Here. Take this then. I just picked it up from a building." I hand him the necklace and was about to stand but I was shocked when he grabbed my neck and I started to stop him.
