Imbis na sa balkonahe ang punta ko, nagbihis ako at lumabas ng bahay. It's going to be a long night for me. I thought as I open the front door of my car.
It's already 6:15 in the evening and here I am instead of staying at home, for sure my dad will still argue about that marriage, I drove myself to the nearest club and like to get myself a drink.
"Tequila please." I demanded to the barista as I arrived at the club.
Drunk people at this early are going wild on the center of the club. The smell of the alcohol mixed with cigarette smoke makes the place hotter.
Di ko mapigilang lingunin ang isang lalaking maganda ang built ng katawan. His white fitted v-neck shirt really suits him. He looks 10x hotter.
"Your tequila, miss." My imagination stopped when the barista interrupted. I uttered my thank you to him at nilingon pabalik ang lalaking kanina pa tinitigan. Hindi lingid sa aking kaalaman na papalapit na sa akin ang lalaking may matipuno na pangangatawan. Para akong na sa isang movie na hinaharap ang aking prince charming habang slow motion itong naglalakad papalapit sa akin.
I turned my back towards him at nilunok agad ang aking tequila. Akmang tatayo na sana ako.
"Hi miss. How about another drink?" he asked, hand already half raised to signal the barista.
"How about doing it near my condo?" I suggested habang hinahawi ang buhok showing more of my collar and my cleavage.
I saw him clenched his jaw. As he watched me do the thing. He's so hot. My flesh is craving.
"I'm sorry? Pardon me?" he replied.
"I mean... I'm going home. It's so hot here. I can't bear staying here for too long. Hindi ako sanay." I said. Pero sa totoo sanay na ako sa ganito. Sadyang di ko lang talaga mapigilan ang bugso ng damdamin as if I'm a virgin. "My condo is just near here." hindi ako uuwi sa bahay ngayon for sure gising pa si papa ngayon.
"We can still have our chit-chat here first. I want to know you. You got my attention kanina when you were looking at me intently." he said not looking at me anymore.
He smirk. "Are you new here?" He asked.
"Uhmm no. I'm not. I've been here for three times already." I answered.
"Oh I see. Kaya pala. Your face is new to me kasi." He answered the coño way. "So what brings you here again this time?" he asked.
"Well, problem." I answered facing again the barista doing his thing.
"Specifically?" he asked again curiously. "Uhm... I'm sorry, I'm asking too much." he added ng makitang hindi ako sumagot.
"Well, it's okay. Everybody seems curious about my life." I answered assuring him that it's okay to fire me questions.
We've been drinking and chit-chatting all night long until we decided to have a dance. Medyo nalasing na ako sa pag-iinom ko. Clumsy pa naman ako kapag nakainom.
"Are you okay?" he asked while holding me on my elbow. I nodded answering his question.
We dance and dance until I decided to go to the terrace of the club. It's so hot on the dancefloor and I can't take the hotness anymore.
"So much better out here," I said, the night air cool against the warmth of my skin. Although I already knew for sure that not all of the heat burning sa aking kaloob-looban ay galing laman sa aking nainom na alak, my unusual flirtatiousness and closeness to this stranger over the whole hour had made me desperate with a heat that had nothing to do with the drinking and the dancing thing.
I walked to the railing of the terrace and lean against it, natatawa sa sariling kagaguhang nagawa kani-kanina lang.
"What's funny?" this guy asked while settling a hip against the railing right beside me.
I shook my head. "Not funny, just good. Happy... You know? Being able to forget the problems once in a while."
"This place is good to forget all your problem even just for a while." he said.
I peered up at him, I nodded.
He stepped closer, his thighs coming up against my hip. He lifted my chin and made me look at him.
"Hindi mo ba talaga ako kilala Rebeckah?"
"How did you know me?" I asked. So shocked that this guy knew me all along! "Who are you" I asked again, wanting to get out from his hold.
"My goodness, Reb," he bit out.
The rough desperation in his voice made me wet between my legs. "Just once," I whispered, not sure what I am asking him for.
But he seemed to know because his hand was suddenly tangled in my hair and his mouth was suddenly on mine, claiming probing, tasting. I moaned and parted my lips, inviting him more.
He jerked back from me, his fingers rubbing roughly over his lips. "Fuck, I'm sorry, Reb."
