Made For Him

Chapter 23

Vannesa Jasmine's

Kasalukuyan aking nakaupo sa U-shape sofa ng kwartong kinalalagyan namin.

Sa kaliwang banda ng upuan namin ay matatanaw mo ang nangyayari sa main floor ng club. Sa kanang bahagi naman ay may mini bar. May Tv ring nakalagay sa harap ng inuupuan namin. The room we are in have a dim lights that sets the mood to enjoy the night.

Different kinds of liquors and foods are scattered in the table between us. And Ali that is sitting in front of me, enjoying her drinks while avoiding my eyes.

Nasa kaliwang bahagi niya ay yung morenong lalaki. I concluded that he's a pure filipino based on his looks. May katamtamang tangos ng ilong at may kayumangging kulay na mga mata. Pinks lips and all. Mga tipong lalaki ni Ali. I snickered at the thought.

"What? You'll keep on shutting your mouth, Ali?" I spat. I knew I'm being harsh but I can't help it. I was missing for a month now and she wasn't even surprised that I'm with Rio!

I already have my suspicions but held it in. Mas gusto kong sakanya mismo manggaling. Hindi ko gustong pangunahan siya. I'm willing to listen to her but what am I going to listen to when she'll keep on shutting her mouth. She's my friend and I'll listen to her Alibi's.

The three other man inside the room can feel the tension between me, Ali, Rio and the man beside her. I didn't give a shit to them and keep on glaring at Ali.

"What's up with this mood, Everyone? Were supposed to enjoy the night, didn't we?" A man with a goodlooking face butt-in. He looks like an Italian guy.

"Can you shut up? Didn't you understand the atmosphere? It's a war! A girl's war, dude!" The one beside the Italian-looking-guy said. Hindi ko alam kung bulong ba dapat iyon o hindi. I can hear them bickering but I remain my eyes on the girl across me.

My minds keeps on wandering about her. What's she doing here? Why is she with Rio's friend? Does she knew Rio before I did? My mind keep on throbbing and wondering.

"J-jasmine. You see-" she paused when I glared at her even more. "Ok! Ok! I'm sorry!" Bumuntong hininga ito.

"Before I explain myself. Can we go somewhere private-?" Hindi nito naituloy ang sasabihin ng biglang sumabat si Rio sa tabi ko. "No. Kung mag-uusap kayo, dito niyo na gawin. There's nothing to hide, isn't there?" He said.

"It's something both we, Me and Jasmine, need to talk without you-" pointing her finger at Rio " and this other guys knowing. Because I knew you'll manipulate it." Then she cross her hands.

I can feel her anger in her words. I just kept my mouth shut. Afraid that this will make a commotion. Kapag si Rio na ang nagsalita, I'm afraid sometimes that something will happen.

Ali stands up and walk towards me. I tensed in my sit. "What? Sabi mo mag-uusap tayo?" She said after standing straight in front of me.

I didn't know where my guts go. I can feel Rio's eyes on my face and I don't want to face him now.

Suddenly, Ali drag me. Running towards the door. "What the fuck?" Is what I heard Rio said before Ali shut the door.

Ali kept dragging me towards the first floor, across the crowds and in a room on the back stage of the club. Man or woman, they run their eyes along with us. Marahil ay dahil sa pagtataka kung bakit kami tumatakbo. And I can say that Ali is a regular in this club, she knew the place so well.

Along our way, their are guys who approached us but Ali just brushed them off and walked pass them. It's rude but we are kind of in a hurry, that's why.

Pagkarating sa isang kwarto sa likod ng stage agad na sinarado at ni-lock ni Ali ang pinto bago humarap saakin. "What's this room?" I ask her curiosly.
The room was consist of a sofa, bed, a tv and a mini bar. It has a dim light and has a romantic atmosphere.
