TITUS
When I entered Archimedes' house, I heard their laughter. I instantly knew they were in the pool area.
Dumiretso agad ako doon at nakita iyong mga bote ng inumin na wala ng laman. There was even another case of beers na hindi pa nagagalaw.
Lyle saw me from the doorway. Tumigil siya sa pag-inom pagkatapos ay itinuro ako.
Fucker.
" Palakpakan tayo mga kapatid. Nandito na ang knight in shining armour ni Patchouli." sabi niya pa. And our crazy friends then clapped their hands. Ang aking pinsan na si Solandra ay parang baliw na pumapalakpak.
Patchouli Sloane was beside her, a bottle of beer in her hand. She was leaning on Solandra's shoulders and not moving.
Napailing ako. Sinabi ko ng ilayo sa kaniya yung bote. Malakas pa nga itong uminom sa akin.
" Shot ka muna!" sabi ni Lyle sa akin.
" Ang init init tapos umiinom kayo." sabi ko at iniwas yung tingin sa bote.
" Kasi last na to. Next week pasukan na. Mas mahirap kaya ang second year." sabi ni Carin.
" Saan ka ba galing?" si Alexandra iyong nagtanong tapos parang nakakaloko iyong tingin sa akin.
" Somewhere." I waved them off. I went towards my cousin who's already trying to wake Patchouli Sloane.
" Stay for a little bit. You weren't here last week." Archimedes told me when I stood beside Patchouli Sloane. Tiningnan ko muna si Patchouli Sloane tapos bumuntong-hininga ako. She was already fast asleep.
" I'll have one beer then I'll take her home." sabi ko. Inabutan ako ni Novice pero umiling ako at kinuha iying bote na nasa kamay ni Patchouli.
" SANA ALL!" It was Alexandra who shouted when I chugged down the contents of the bottle. It was already in a half. Hindi ko alam kung ilan ang nainom ng babaeng ito.
" Iyak ng iyak kanina si Patch kaya pinainom na namin para naman makamove on na sa'yo." sabi ni Carin. My forehead knotted and then I looked down at Patchouli Sloane who was peacefully sleeping.
" Hindi naman naging kami. There's no need for a moving on." I said plainly. I placed the bottle on the table.
" Ubos mo na? Isa pa!" si Lyle at pilit na inaabot sa akin iyong isang bote.
" Gago ka. Magda-drive pa ako. Ayaw kong mapulis." I raised my middle finger at him. The asshole just laugh so hard, clutching his stomach.
I crouched down at Patchouli Sloane. Dahan-dahan kong inangat ang kaniyang katawan para mabuhat siya. She wasn't really that heavy.
" SANA ALL!" ulit ni Alexandra. Umiling-iling na lang ako bago nagpaalam sa kanila.
Those crazy people are indeed much crazier than me. Who drinks in the middle of the day, anyway? Sila lang iyon.
I placed her at the back seat of my car. Pasulyap-sulyap ako sa kaniya kasi baka mahulog siya. I also slowed down my speed. When I reached their house, I also carried her. Nagulat pa si Ate Xo nang makita ang kapatid na tulog na tulog.
" Uminom kayo kahit tanghali? Aba magaling!"Ate Xo exclaimed while she was opening the door to Patchouli Sloane's room. I chuckled and tightened my hold on her.
Ibinaba ko siya sa kaniyang kama. Nang lumingon ako ay wala na si Ate Xo.
I sighed and sat beside her. Bahagya siyang gumalaw kaya nakita ko iyong mukha niya. Her cheeks were a bit red and her pink lips were parted. She also smells like beer.
" Ang lakas uminom, di naman pala kaya." bulong ko. I heard the crying of her cats somewhere. Napalingon ako at nakita kong nag-iiyakan iyong mga pusa sa kanilang higaan.
My lips pouted a bit to stifle a smile. Kinuha ko iyong dalawang pusa at itinabi sa kaniya. They look so adorable together especially when the kittens cuddled closer to her.
Binantayan ko lang si Patchouli doon pero dahil hinihila ako ng antok ay hindi ko namalayang nakatulog na din ako sa kaniyang tabi.
