Blatant (taglish)

Questions are still flooding my mind like where are my friends? And my phone? where's the owner of this mansion? why do I have to be so unlucky to stumble across my ex? What the fuck am I still doing here.

Wishing it was all unreal, I opened my eyes.

I couldn't expect how.

How am I here sa kwarto ko right now?

All the questions in my mind gave birth to further confusion, was it all just a dream? Was I dreaming all along?

I looked at my desk and found my phone, checking the time. 10 am in the morning but there were 20 missed calls from Stacy, and 9 from Angel, I didn't have the strength para tawagan sila dahil alam kong mapapa explain ako ng sobrang tagal, I'll talk to them if I'm ready and sure what actually just happened. Kinapa kapa ko ang higaan ko just to make sure it's real and I am here, but as I did tinanggal ko ang kumot ko and there revealed answers to some of my questions.

Why

Am

I

Wearing

Different

Clothes?

Worse part is, this isn't even mine, gray tshirt that smelled like an expensive perfume of a man, plus, wala na akong bra and panty. Fuck, it is real. And bakit wala akong bra and panty underneath? Did they raped me? And pano ako naka uwi ng ganon ganon lang? Tumayo ako at tumingin sa salamin, but something caught my attention, two paper bags I don't remember owning. I looked inside and there was my clothes, along with my bra and panty, may maliit na papel na nahulog as I scanned it.

I had no choice but to change your clothes, but don't worry, I didn't do anything to you.. hope you enjoy being home.

I sighed in a little relief but at the same time.. hindi nawawala sa isip ko pano nangyari ang mga bagay bagay. How is this happening porket lumabas lang ako? I don't even know kung never na ba ako lalabas or dapat akong lumabas para nothing like this would happen again.

I checked the other paper bag, revealing two dresses , new ones. One maroon and black. Another note slid past the fabric, making me pick it up.

Here's a little something for disturbing your 'girls night out'. I'll find you soon, I have to deal with business for now. Ciao, amore.

Kinabahan ako sa linyang "I'll find you soon". He really is attractive, but he's a stranger, and him finding me like I'm an object to be owned does not give smiles to me at all.

But okay, the important thing here is, I'm home, and I'll get to visit grandma and grandpa this weekend. Pero wgat worries me now is, Stacy and Angel would probably kill me for not even texting them.

I finally decided to give them a little text, still a bit mad na hindi nila ako hinanap and I just got host-aged ng ganon ganon lang. But maybe I have to know their side of the story first. And I plan on knowing right away.

I'll be there in 3 hours. -Kate

"Where the fuck did you go?!" Unang bati sakin ni Stacy, always the nanay sa aming tatlo.

"Chill the fuck down Stace." Angel warned her and turned to look at me. "Umm, girl, I don't want to offend you, but you look so tired." As if hindi ko pa alam, hindi na ako nag abalang mag ayos to go sa apartment nilang dalawa, we've been together ever since. Me and Stacy since elementary, Angel and me since high school. So we've been inseparable ever since. But I always wanted to have a little privacy so I didn't agree on staying with them kahit ako pa dati ang nangungulit sa kanila.

Sa tagal kong tumulala at nag isip paano ko sasabihin ang nangyari, Stacy pulled me down to sit. "Hindi ka nagparamdam girl, akala ko kasi nagalit ka or you got laid. So we left na." Stacy explained.

"You didn't even looked for me?" I asked.

"Believe me baks we did, nag ask kami sa mga tao specially nung nag announce yung dj na pinapaalis na kaming lahat nung may ari ng bahay." Angel told me, and she indeed sounds convincing.

"Tsaka may napagtanungan kami na sabi nya nakita ka daw nya pauwi with someone, so akala ko talaga you're getting an action, kaya I was dying to call you." Pagdagdag ni Stacy. Wait? Nakita akong may kasama?

"Anong itsura ng nagsabi sayo nyan." Tanong ko.

"I'm glad you asked, poringger (foreigner) sya girl, kaso hindi fafa, malaki lang katawan and matankad." Stacy described.

"Fuck.. that's exactly one of the person who hostaged the fuck out of me." Sagot ko, nanlaki ang mata ni Stacy.

"Anong hostage?! Puta?! Explain!" Sigaw nya, with hint of worry and confusion.

"I told you hindi mukhang matino yung guy na pinagtanungan natin." Siniko sya ni Angel.

"Wait, you told me na si Luca ang nag invite sayo right?" I asked Angel, which made her nod her head yes.

"Pero, I never saw him that night." Angel replied, which just added to the questions and the odds.

"Did he really mentioned about bringing friends?" Tanong ko ulit, and she once again nodded.. I didn't know if that guy Luca is involved in this, but the piano guy made it seem he never really expected me there, pero nakakapagtaka, if it all meant nothing, bakit wala doon si Luca.

"Let's go to the kitchen, I'll cook lunch, and please sabihin mo us how it all happened." Stacy pleaded and I agreed, pero kinuha ko muna ang dalawang paper bag na iniwan ng lalaking iyon sa akin. As well as the tshirt he made me wear. I gave it to them, they scanned both the clothes and the notes. Hindi pa nila alam ang story, but they looked at each other.

"Bitch, you fucking need to move in with us now, you got a stalker sneaking up your ass." I rolled my eyes at them, pero baka tama si Stacy, I need to feel a bit secured, with people I feel safe most, Hindi naman ako pwede kila lolo and lola because if anything, I'll put them to danger, and I wouldn't allow myself to live if I caused that to them.

~~~

"That fucking piano guy was a psycho?!" As always, laging kasing ingay ko mag-react si Stacy.

"Tangina ka let's go get your things right fucking now, wag ka na matutulog sa apartment mo." Nagmamadali tumayo si Angel, followed by Stacy. I have no choice din, once these two decides, I'll let the boat float wherever they want...

I won't be alone anymore, but why do I feel a bit worried that he won't find me? Eh dapat nga I should be happy.

~~~

Both Angel and Stacy fell fast asleep. Pero ako vividly thinking parin sa mga nangyari, but most importantly about him..

Just as I am about to fall asleep, a notification hit my phone up making me open my eyes to check it.

I'll always find you, buonanotte, amore.

From an unknown number. My heart started beating fast again... he sounded like he's always checking on me.

How could I escape from this man, I have no business to deal with him anymore.

Pero bakit kailangan pa nya malaman ang mga bagay bagay sakin..
