"Miss, miss..."

Hinilamos ko ang palad sa mukha ko dahil nababaliw na 'ko. Lasing na nga si Daxel at wala siyang ginawa kung hindi landiin ako na para bang hindi niya 'ko kilala.

"Ano?" tanong ko.

He smiled at me genuinely with his sleepy eyes. "You're the most beautiful person that I have ever seen."

Muli akong bumuntong hininga.

So, this is a drunk Daxel, huh? This is really unexpected. I don't know what to feel about it.

"You're just drunk, Daxel." I rolled my eyes.

"Maybe..." he chuckled sexily. "...but I can't lie when I'm drunk."

Naramdaman ko kaagad ang pagpula ng mukha ko. Harap-harapan ka ba naman landiin ng napakagwapong nilalang, ewan ko nalang kung hindi ka mahimatay.

I sighed again. "Stop it, Daxel."

"Make me stop, then."

I looked at him, his gaze is serious but there was a small smile on his face.

"How can I make you stop?"

"Hmm..." nilagay niya pa ang hintuturo niya sa kanyang baba. "Let me think."

He suddenly leaned closer to me, halos magtama na ang aming braso. Hindi kaagad ako nakagalaw dahil sa bilis ng pangyayari.

"A kiss will do." he leaned much closer to whisper on my ear. "I want it deep and torrid."

Naramdaman kong namula ang mukha ko at agad na tinulak ko siya palayo dahil naramdaman kong lumagabog ang puso ko. Para na akong mamatay sa sobrang bilis nito.

Humalakhak siya dahil sa reaksyon ko. Mas lalo akong namula at napainom tuloy ako ng shot, iniisip na sana maibsan ito.

"S-Stop it, Daxel. You're seriously drunk."

"If I say it without being drunk, would you do it?"

My brows furrowed. "Of course not."

"Why is that?"

"Because we're friends, Daxel. Friends don't do those kinds of things." I felt like I was talking to a kid.

He pursed his lips while blinking twice. Napanguso siya dahil sa sinabi ko at naghalukipkip.

"I don't want to be your friend then." his lips protruded a little.

"Alright. It's your choice. Treat me like a stranger then." I shrugged.

He smiled at me. "Hi, beautiful stranger! Would you mind giving me a kiss?"

"I said no, Daxel."

"But---"

"Hindi sabi p'wede."

"A friendly kiss, then?"

"Still no."

Muli siyang naghalukipkip na parang bata. It was funny but I don't like how it affects my heart. Napakacute niya pero inisip ko kung dating nalasing siya, sino kaya ang ginawa niya ng ganito?

I just imagined him being drunk while some random woman is taking advantage of his state.

Oh great, now I'm pissed.

"You're a very cruel woman." he sighed dramatically.

"Tumigil ka na, Daxel. Lasing ka lang." matigas na sabi ko.

"If you don't want my kiss, I'll just give it to anyone."

Nanlaki ang mata ko nang bigla siyang tumayo mula sa upuan. He approached some random woman who just passed by our table. Nakita kong nagulat ang babae kaso nang makita si Daxel ay parang natuwa pa siya.
