Chapter 13

Night Out

Pagpasok palang ng Noctis ay parang gusto ko nang umuwi. 

It was a high-end club but it was still a club. I felt icky just by watching the sweaty people dry humping each other to the beat of the party music. I cringed when I saw that.

My ears were already ringing because of the volume of the music.

I was glancing around the place when Madolle pulled me towards a booth. The three of us sat down and they both ordered drinks for themselves. Samantalang ako naman ay nakaupo lang habang sila ay nag-oorder.

Hindi ako pamilyar sa mga inumin sa ganito kaya ipinagpaliban ko na ang pag-order ng drinks ko sa dalawa. I just hope they don't give me something foul tasting.

Hindi ko nalang pinansin ang pag-oorder nila at nagfocus sa paligid.

The people here were not as bad as I thought they would be. Maybe because this bar is high-end. I'm seeing a lot of famous socialites and celebrities all over the place.

Ilang sandali pa ay dumating na ang drinks namin. Mine was contained in what seemed like a shot glass. Mayroon itong cream sa ibabaw which looks like whipped cream.

Kinuha ko iyon at nag-ambang iinumin ito nang pigilan ako ni Elle.

"That's not how you drink it!" sabi nito.

"How am I supposed to drink it then? With a straw?" sarkastiko kong tanong.

"No, silly!" natatawang sabi ni Madolle.

"Watch," tila naghahamon na sabi nito.

Madolle placed both of her hands at her back and positioned her mouth on top of the shot glass. Napakunot naman ang noo ko. What the hell?

Unti-unti siyang nagbend until her lips fully cover the shot glass. She secured the glass on her mouth and leaned back again pouring the drink on her mouth flawlessly.

"What the fuck?" ani ko. Natawa naman sa reaksyon ko ang dalawa.

Elle did the same exact thing with ease. How the hell am I supposed to do that?!

"Come on, Safira, try it!" excited na sabi ni Madolle. I shook my head.

"No," matigas kong sabi.

"Come on, huwag kang KJ!" sabi ni Elle.

I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms on my chest.

"Loosen up!" sabi ni Madolle na sumasayaw na to the beat of the music.

I sighed and stood up. Napatili naman ang dalawa at nag-apir.

I did what both of them did but instead of placing my hands on my back, I gripped the table for support.

I leaned in and gripped the shot glass with my mouth. I slowly bent backwards to pour the drink on my mouth and instantly regretted it. I choked and the glass fell from my mouth. I coughed and coughed until I felt my throat become scratchy.

I will never ever do that again.

Laughter erupted from the two idiots beside me.

"You're so cute, Safira!" sabi ni Madolle habang tumatawa. Sinamaan ko naman siya ng tingin.

Umupo na ako at hinayaan silang tumawa doon ngunit binigyan naman ako ng tubig.

The night was still young and so they decided to order more drinks. Inilatag sa aming table ang iilang shot glass na may kasamang lemon at salt.
