Tonight

Prologue

Edward Hernandez POV

The lively music filled the place. Different colors of light are illuminated. Everyone's enjoying the night. Most of the poeple are drinking liquors while dancing in the beat while some are making out.

It's just another night out with my friends here at our favorite bar. Ang best friend kong si Renz ang may-ari nito kaya libre ang mga drinks tuwing nagkakaayaan kami.

"Bro, look." Sabi ni Clyde sabay turo sa isang babaeng sumasayaw sa gitna ng dance floor.

She's dancing like there's no tomorrow. She was wearing a sexy red cocktail dress that exposes her smooth and white skin. Her long and wavy hair lay just above her elbows.

Hindi ko maaninag masyado ang kanyang mukha dahil sa patay-sinding ilaw pero just by looking at her body ay masasabing napakaganda ng babaeng 'to.

"Whew chicks," Renz whistled, admiring the woman's beautiful complexion.

"Grabe, ang galing gumiling mga tol!" sabi naman ni Henry.

Apat kaming magkakaibigan at pareho-pareho kaming playboy. They even call us the "Four Kings" and I don't even know the reason why.

"Oh mga bro. Ako ang unang nakakita kaya akin siya ngayon," Clyde said wearing his famous smirk.

He was about to stand up but Henry stopped him. "Huwag na 'tol. Tingnan mo oh."

Binalingan ulit namin ang babae at nakita namin siyang nakikipag-usap sa isang lalaki. I bet the guy wants to dance with her or something but based on her expression, she rejected him.

The guy insisted. Hinawakan niya ang braso ng babae at pinalapit sa kanya. The woman shook her head then walked out leaving the guy dumbfounded.

"See? Ayaw niya ngang sumama sa lalaking yun, sayo pa kaya?" panggagatong ni Henry kay Clyde.

"Tss. Edi ikaw na. Ikaw na ang playboy na gentleman. Galing mo!" Clyde said sarcastically.

"Hey that's my spot," I countered, referring to the 'gentleman playboy' thing.

"Ay oo nga pala! Nandito pala ang playboy na naniniwala pa ring 'chivalry is not dead.' Seriously man, gentleman and playboy? Not a great combination. Tsk, kung sana pinaubaya niyo na lang sa'kin yung chicks..." bulong pa niya.

Tumawa na lang kami sa itsura ni Clyde. Hanggang ngayon mukha pa rin siyang nalugi.

Well, I can't blame him. I couldn't even take my eyes off her like she is a precious gem. Gusto ko nga siyang sundan at alamin ang pangalan niya pero di ko magawa. Baka kasi magduda sila. I'm known for being a chick magnet. Hindi ako humahabol sa babae dahil sila na mismo ang lumalapit sakin.

I stared at the spot where the beautiful woman was dancing earlier. Naiimagine ko pa rin siya na sumasayaw sa gitna ng nagkumpol-kumpol na mga tao.

Sa sobrang pag-iisip ko ay hindi ko namalayan ang paglapit ng isang babae.

"Hi handsome." Napabalik ako sa wisyo nang kumandong siya sa mga hita ko.

Mestisa ang babae at may pulang buhok na bumagay sa makinis at maputi niyang balat.

"I'm Elaine. But you can call me yours." Pagpapakilala niya sabay nakaw ng mabilis na halik sa aking labi.

"Whoo, idol! Kahit na tulala nilalapitan pa rin ng chicks! Chick magnet ka talaga Edward!" kantyaw sa'kin ni Renz.

I just smirked at them.

Elaine handed me a shot of margarita which I gladly accepted. I drink it in one shot then put down the glass.
