The Roommate (Short-Story)

Chapter 2

Nandito na kami sa bar. kasama namin ang dalawang friends ni Jetro. sabi nga nila, the more the merrier ika nga. ako lang yata yung nag iisang 'BOY' sa aming lima. The bar is so crowded that's why nakatayo lang kami pansamantala. the bar is so near sa Roseville Academy. mga ilang blocks away lang. I saw a girl, biglang nag bell yung gaydar ko. shit. kaya nga ako umalis sa all girls school because of this situation e. pero darn. pati rin pala dito sa Roseville Town ay marami paring girls. shit.

"Couz ang lagkit makatingin a? akala ko ba magbabago ka na." Note: He said it with sarcasm. tsk.

I rolled my eyes, "Duh, pinagsasabi mo?" I denied. He's right naman kasi e. Darn. "Wala pa bang becant?" I said with irretate. He chuckling. fuck! what so funny?

He put his hand up, "Chillax my pretty cousin, im just teasing you." He said. tsk. di lang talaga crowded e. nasapak ko nato.

"Dude there's a becant." Jetro's friend Larry said and point it out sa bakanting mesa na malapit lang sa babaeng kanina ko pa tinitignan. shit.

We moved on there. after we all sat, the girl look at us. shit. ang ganda niya pala talaga. akala ko kasi saranggula siya, maganda sa malayo pangit sa malapitan. pero siya hindi. she's so hot damn pretty.

The bar waiter gave us a menu. sila cousin lang yung nag order dahil busy pa ako. busy kakatingin sa babaeng katabing table namin. Alam kong tinitignan din ako nung babae dahil nakikita at nararamdam yun ng gaydar ko.

When our eyes met. I felt like there's a lightning volt in my body. shit. ang corny. hindi kasi ako naniniwala sa ganitong feeling. She smile at me like she was seducing me. darn. dont do it again babe. Im melting right now. argh. ang corny.

Im shaking my cousin's arm when I saw the girl walking here at our table. my cousin looked at where i am looking and he saw the girl near walking beside me. I saw my cousin's face, he smile at this girl in front of me. shit. shit. shit!

"Hi." Bati niya sa akin. Oh god! her voice is so addictive. OA na kung oa pero nakaka-addict talaga boses niya. tae lang.

"Couz she said HI." Allen smirking when he said that. I elbow him on his chest. shit.

"I know. please cousin, not now." May pagbabantang bulong ko sa kanya. "Hi." Bati ko kay sexy hot damn pretty girl in front of me.

"If is it okay, can I borrow you for a minute?" Nakangiti niyang sabi. Babe kahit ilang oras pa. In my mind.

"Uhm, sure." Tumayo ako at naglakad kami papuntang counter. we sat sa stool ng bar at nag order.

"I'm Rebbeca by the way." Pakilala niya at ininom yung whisky sa maliit na shot glass.

"I'm Sara." Ngumiti ako sa kanya. She nodded at ininom ulit ang ikalawang baso ng whisky.

"So taga dito ka ba?" She ask. I shook my head because I drunk my Whiskey.

"Uhm, actually taga Roseville Town lang din ako pero hindi ako nakatira dito." I point this bar. I'm just joking to make a topic. She sexy laugh.

"You're so funny huh. So taga Roseville Town ka rin pala? But why we haven't seen each other e ang liit lang naman ng town natin?" Oo nga. Bakit nga ba hindi namin nakita ang isat isa. Siguro nagkita o nagtagpo na yung landas namin pero hindi lang namin alam.

"I don't know." I laugh. The silent is now attacking us. No one spoke. "Uhm, are you single?" I don't know pero bigla na lang lumabas sa bibig ko ang salitang yun. I felt shy kaya ngumiti lang siya na may assurance na may karapatan akong mag tanong sa kanya?

"Yes." Tipid niyang sabi and smile at me. Shit. Those smile is killing me softly. Corny taena.
