HAIR-SPRAYED

Okay. What was that?

I am still thinking what happened earlier. Nakahiga na ako ngayon sa kama pero hindi makatulog. Puchi is beside me at natutulog na.

I get my cellphone and texted him.

To Brix:

Brix

Dumapa ako at itinukod ang braso sa kama, nababagot na sa tagal niyang mag reply.

My phone suddenly beep and it was him.

From Brix:

What.

Napataas ang kilay ko. Ang suplado naman.

To Brix:

Text text muna tayo hehe.

Natawa ako sa sariling reply. Parang ang jeje kase.

From Brix:

Ayoko.

To Brix:

Akala ko ba gusto mo ako?

Nag beep ang cellphone ko. Ang bilis naman. Akala ko ba ayaw makipag text.

From Brix:

Your hallucinating.

Napahiga ako bago nagtipa ng irereply.

To Brix:

You don't like me? Pero bakit gusto mo akong ihatid pag ginagabi?

That's what I replied. Not thinking what is really going to tell.

Matagal itong nag reply. Panay tingin tuloy ako sa cellphone ko.

From Brix:

I was just caried away earlier. Babae ka and it's not good to go home late lalo na't naglalakad ka lang pala. I hope you didn't put any meaning with what I said... I don't like you, if it's not clear to you.

Sandaling nangalawang ang utak ko dahil sa reply niya. No. You like me Brix. I'm not stupid.

My mind keep on telling that Brix like me but why does the back of my mind believe that his not.
I think gentlemen are so rare these days that I end up accusing what really his motive is.

To Brix:

Binabasted mo na ba ako?

I replied playfully to lighten our conversation.

Minutes passed by at hindi na ito nag reply. I decided to just sleep than wait for his reply. I put my cellphone on the sidetable.

Kung totoong gusto ko pa 'to, ang masokista ko na tignan.

I am wearing a black strapless dress and I can't describe the details of it because my vision is blury. But I can see how does my dress glows in the dark and how it sparks like a star.

I'm with a man where his shirt's color is the only thing of him that I can see clearly.

He's talking to me but I can't understand what it is all about. I saw him hold the shot glass tightly before drinking the liquid inside.

Hindi ko na ma-control ang katawan ko dahil sa pamamanhid. Lasing na ata ako. I can't even properly breath and I don't know why.

The music boomed and the crowd cheered while dancing widely. different color of disco lights roamed and accelerated. This bar became so lively in just one blink.

I shifted my gaze on this guy I am with, but the bartender in front of me caught my attention.

My eyes widened and there I realized that I'm actually holding a bottle that already fell on the floor now.
