Unreachable Zacharius

31

Chapter 31

Staring at my room's ceiling for hours and thinking about how I cried twice in front of him, I realized I showed Zach how weak and smitten I still am for him. Determinado akong burahin sa isipan niya iyon. I will be the younger version of Amber Ylena, untamable and unstoppable.

I buried my face on my pillow and screamed in frustration. Tuwing naiisip ko ang pag-iyak ko ay halos napapapikit ako sa inis at kahihiyan. Lalong nadadagdagan ang umuusbong kong galit dahilan upang determinado kong isinagawa ang plano kinagabihan. Dressed into a sexy black mini backless dress and a four-inch stiletto, I couldn't help but see the teenager Amber Ylena in my reflection.

Huminga ako ng malalim habang tinitignan ang warili sa salamin. Remembering his confession, I sprayed a subtle amount of perfume on my neck and body. Hindi tulad ng mga nakaraang gabi, I didn't call Ethan for company. I went out all alone.

"Good evening, ma'am Amber," the bodyguards greeted me.

The party's already in full blast when I went in. Maingay ang buong bar at marami ng nagsasayawang tao. Dumeretso ako sa nakasanayang high stool at umorder kaagad ng margarita. I wandered my eyes around. There's no trace of him.

Dinampot ko ang kalalapag lang na cocktail. I sipped on it while my eyes are busy wandering around the club. I caught one hunk staring at me from afar. Nanliit ang mga mata ko nang itaas nito ang hawak na kopita habang nakatingin sa akin. I smiled back and raised my glass as well.

Hindi magtatagal ay lalapit na iyon sa akin. Hindi nga ako nagkamali. Paubos na ang cocktail ko nang may maramdaman akong presensya sa gilid ko.

"Another one for the lady, please..." he said smoothly.

I ran my fingers through my hair. Inihanda ko ang praktisadong ngiti bago hinarap ang guwapo at disenteng lalake. He smirked at me and a dimple on his right cheek showed.

"Anong ginagawa ng isang magandang binibining katulad mo sa lugar na ito?" He said and laughed afterwards.

He shook his head. "Damn. That was deep."

My brows shot up. I realized he has soft features. No stubble. He has a very pretty smile. Ngumiti ako nang masulyapan ang dimple sa kanang pisngi nito.

"You look very pretty... and familiar. Did we meet somewhere?" He leaned on the counter and stared at me intensely.

Umiling ako at pinigilang mangiti. A very corny line but can do. I lost count on how many times I have heard that.

"I don't think so." I said and flashed a sweet smile.

Pasimple kong nilibot muli ang paningin sa buong bar. He's not here. What if he was just really making fun of me?  Kumunot ang noo ko at dinampot ang isa pang shot ng margarita sa harap.

"Thanks for this," I raised the glass and drank all its content in one go.

Napanganga ang lalake nang ilapag ko ang ubos na baso. I winced and laughed a bit. Sinenyasan niya ang bartender na bigyan pa ako ng isa.

"You have a problem. I do that when i'm problematic." He pointed at my empty glass.

I shrugged my shoulders. I am always problematic. He's right.

"I can see some guys staring right here. Waiting for their turns, huh? What a waste..." mahangin niyang sinabi.

Dinampot kong muli ang panibagong shot at nilagok iyon. "Where?" I asked just so I could entertain him a bit.
