Sweet Revenge

Kabanata 2

"You're here!"

Halos mapatakip ako ng tenga sa lakas ng tili ni Vianne. She's wearing a red tight dress that compliments her pale skin and exposed her long legs. Well, that's what i envy her the most, her long slender legs. No wonder she's a highest paid model of my favorite clothing brand.

She eyed me from head to toe, examining my new pair of black pumps back to my dress. Napakagat-labi muna siya bago niya ako hinila palapit sa lalakeng ngayon ko lang napansin dahil nakatayo ito malapit sa madilim na bahagi.

"Raze, this is Xian Cobblich. Xian, this is Raze Gonzalo. Let's go?"

I nod at Xian. As if hindi pa namin kilala ang isa't-isa. Xian is a lead vocalist in their band at sikat ang banda nilang iyon sa school. Well, not just in school. I heard they are also performing outside the campus.

Dumiretso kami sa pinakadulong sofa, iyong medyo malayo sa mga nagsasayawan.

I rolled my eyes. I think i know why it has to be this far.

I think i had made a mistake by coming here with them. Am i a chaperone here?

Luminga-linga ako sa paligid. There is a group of men not too far away from here but unlike the others, they're busy with their own business so they won't be a bother for these two. A perfect place to make out indeed. Tsk

The bartender spotted us. He winked and gestured us to wait. Well i think he knows what to do, we are a regular customer here anyway. Or should i say.. Vianne is a regular customer here.

I checked my phone. There is a text message coming from kuya saying he can spot me from where he is. And just as i about to look around, i smelled his perfume. Agad niyang inukupa ang espasyo sa pagitan namin ni Vianne. He's staring at her like she stole one of his precious cars. He would throw daggers at her through his eyes if he could.

"Hindi ka nagpaalam." He's talking to me, though he's looking at Vianne's direction.

"I'm not 17 anymore, Reeze." I rolled my eyes.

"Still, you should have told-"

"Come on, Reeze." Vianne cut him off. "She's with me, what's the matter?" Bakas sa boses nito ang pagkairita. Oh crap, here they go again.

Palapit ang waiter sa direksyon namin dala ang tray ng cocktail na lagi naming order. I gestured him to wait pero dahil sa iba ito nakatingin ay dire-diretso ang lakad nito.

Hindi ko na maintindihan kung ano ang pinagtatalunan ng dalawa sa gilid ko, all i can think of right now is the approaching waiter. Oh, this is war!

I'm not allowed to drink when kuya's not around cause i always end up a mess or a disgrace.

Inilapag nito sa table ang tatlong glass at pagkatapos ay umalis rin agad. I think he even smiled at me pero wala na akong matinong pag-iisip sa ngayon.

Kuya Reeze warned me bout drinking alcohols without him and now...

Isang pamilyar na bulto ng lalake ang umupo sa harap ko, took one glass from the table at walang pag-aalinlangang nilagok ito nang isang beses. Napatingin ako sa mukha nito.

He's the man in the parking lot!

Gaya kanina ay masama ang tingin nito sa akin. Well, i find him cool though his eyes are in flame like I've lost one of his precious cars.

I mockingly stared at him with the same intensity he has for me.

Alright. He's beyond attractive, okay? He got that strong sex appeal na literal na makalaglag panty. A typical bachelor businessman na hahabulin ng mga babaeng uhaw sa pera. I examined his face. Every angle of it are perfect. I think i just found my new meaning of perfection.
