Drunk

I saw him talk to a guy binigay niya ang cellphone na hawak sa lalake tinapik naman siya nito sa balikat. I saw him walking down the stairs at papalapit sa akin. He was now standing in front of our table napabaling sa akin ang mga mata ng kagrupo. Nagtatanong ang mga mata kung kilala ko ito. I nodded and tap the seat next to me umupo rin ito kaagad.

I stare at him napatingin siya sa ayos ko kaya nahiya ako bigla. "I didn't know you do clubing Lily, you look great." Pagpuna niya sa suot ko. "Kasama mo ba si Lev Marie?"

I nodded. "Nasa dance floor pa siya. I texted you kanina."

Napakamot siya sa kanyang batok. " I left my phone sa condo. Nakihiram lang ako kay Xain- my friend, that was his number a while ago. I was about to go down and buy something sa convenient store kanina tapos nahatak na ako ng mga kaibigan sa sasakyan and the next thing I know andito na ako sa birthday party ni Denise." Tumawa ito na parang na alala ang nangyari.

I smiled at him and look at his clothes. "That's explain on why you are on your sweatpants." Tumango tango ako. "Kanina ka pa?" I asked

"Ahh Oo. Naiinip na nga ako eh pero nung nakita ko na parang ikaw ang sumasayaw sa dancefloor." Ngumisi siya. "I am happy to be here."

He saw me dancing? I bit my lip trying hard not to smile and blush at the same time.

"Yolooo." Sigaw ni Lev Marie habang mabilis na pumunta sa upuan. Ngumuwi ako ng makitang kong yayakapin sana ng best friend ko si Yolo kaya hinablot ko siya at pinaupo sa isang gilid ko. She laughed because of what I did.

"Ito naman napaka selosa." She pursed her lips while trying to tickle me.

"Your invading his personal space." Asik ko.

She laughed more napabaling ako kay Yolo at nasilayan na naka ngiti ito sa bangayan naming mag kaibigan.

"Pinuntahan mo ba si Lily dito?" She questioned Yolo.

"Coincidence Lev.. Birthday ng isang kaibigan ko." He said.

"Who's that friend? May girlfriend ba? Pakilala mo ko dali!" Sunod sunod niyang tanong.

Umiling ako kay Yolo. "No." Mariin kong sabi.

Sumimangot naman ang best friend ko. "Ang Kj parang nakahanap lang ng para sa kanya eh."

I rolled my eyes at her. "Pass twelve na Lev.. Sabi ni Mommy uwi na daw."

"She won't know Lily.. Let's enjoy a little bit more." She said and stand up from her sit. Hinatak niya ako at si Yolo papunta sa dance floor.

Nagpatianod kami sa dagat ng tao. Once we found our other friends we started to have some fun. We're dancing pero si Yolo ay nakatayo lang sa gilid ko. He was holding his drink while looking at the people. He found my eyes so I leaned closer to say something to him.

"Hindi ka ba sumasayaw?"

"Nope."

Kumunot ang noo ko. "Lossen up Yolo.. Let's have some fun." I sexually whisper. I don't know why but I just wanted him to dance with me.

His jaw dropped amused of what I said pero umiling ito.

I raised my eyebrow. "Really? Your playing hard to get now?"

He leaned closer to me and whispered I can feel his breath on my neck. "Ako ba ang hard to get dito?" I slightly step aside so we can have space but still my eyes are fix to him.

"Let's do it." I said.

He scoffed. "Let's do what Lily?" He said clueless on what I just said.

"Let's be on a relationship." I confidently said.
