Chapter 4
Unexpected Blast
The sunset's reflection woke me up. I don't know how many hours I slept. Natulogan ko na pala ang pagbyabyahe. I blink twice to clear my sight. I saw the sunset beneath the sea. I smell the sea breeze and I heard some jam disco music and loud laughs.
Nandito na ba ako sa private beach resort? Kung ganun—
Agad kong nilingon ang driver seat. Only to find no one. But I found a small piece of paper that was stick into the headrest.
"You look like a baby when you sleep,"
Great. I signed heavily as I got out in the car. Medyo kinakabahan ako nang nakita ang paligid. Maraming nakapark na kotse dito at mga cottages sa gilid. Medyo modern din ang resort kung titignan.
"Raine?" agad kong nilingon ang pamilyar na tinig na iyon.
"C-Courtney," she was wearing short shorts and bikini top. She frowned.
"Bakit ngayon ka lang? I thought you're not going to come?" Nakataas na kilay na tanong niya. May hawak siyang drinks sa isang kamay.
I smiled. I was about to say something...
"And your dress..." She rolled her eyes and grab my arm ahead to the resort. "C'mon, we're not going to someone's death 'kay? We're having bridal shower this night! "
"Kukunin ko 'yung bag pack—"
"Whatever! You're not gonna wear something like that!" Maarte niyang reklamo. I signed heavily.
Okay, di ko naman alam na mainit dito. Umulan kanina!
Meanwhile, I'm seeing myself wearing shorts and sleeveless loose top. Well, I think this is far better than bikinis.
I'm thankful dahil isa sa mga staff ang nagbigay ng bag ko sa room namin dito sa villa.
"Gosh! You're his...ex?" mariing bulong ni Gigi. Courtney introduce me to her a while ago. At silang dalawa lang din ang nakakaalam na ex ko si Hardin. Except for that Amos. "Actually, I'm one of his flings on highschool, but... I never thought he had serious relationship with, other than Denise,"
She's hot and more friendly than her other girl friends; though they aren't really that bad. Nakabikini siya sa pang itaas at shorts naman sa ibaba. Mahaba ang medyo kulot niyang buhok.
"Kind of. Pero, di naman lahat napapasok sa isang relasyon ay seryoso. Maybe, h-he's just playing along," I awkwardly said.
She nodded slowly then she smiled. "Perhaps then," agad niya akong inakbayan at pinakilala sa iba niyang kaibigan and mostly of them are Denise's cousins and friends.
"Can't wait for our quite naughty bridal shower tonight," she said excitedly.
The girls decided to have decent dinner first before the bridal shower party. Marami kaming girls sa iisang lamesa sa isang restaurant. The boys are out. The reason I didn't see my ex. Ang sabi ni Gigi, nasa isang malaking yacht sila. Celebrating bachelor's party.
And finally I saw Denise personally. Indeed, she's beautiful and hot. Elegante din siya kung kumilos. Gigi introduced me to her as her friend, a while ago, and I confirm that she's kind. Hindi rin ako gaanong naa out of place dito, Gigi and her friends are more likely friendly and approachable.
I've never been into a bridal shower and it quite surprise me to know the theme and the activities!
Red balloons, disco lights, expensive hard liquor drinks, tequilas, lemons and barbecues and other some greeny design foods, and the Maroon long sofas and a karaoke in front filled my sight as I enter a big private room of one of the bars in the resort.
"Let's party girls!"
Tumili silang lahat at nagsimula na din mag sayaw dahil sa malakas na jam disco music. I can't help but join them. Nagsimula na din silang magstart sa activities. Kahit medyo ayaw ko'y wala na din akong nagawa. Well, I don't want to be some suck up kj.
We drink some tequilas and few hard liquor shots. Kahit na tinutuon ko naman ang atensyon ko sa mga foods, ay wala pa rin akong kawala sa mga ito. Mayroon din mga dare na pinapagawa isa-isa sa amin. I was even relieve na talent thing lang di-nare sa 'kin, I choose to sing but they requested that it must be a dirty song.
"You know how to sing!"
I can't help but smile as I received some good comments about my singing. Kahit na si Denise na may suot ngayong belo ay pinuri niya ako.
Akala ko drinking hard liquors at tequilas na ang malala sa bridal shower na ito,
But I was wrong. May body shots pa pala!
Hindi ko pa alam kung ano iyon una kaso nang may pumasok na dalawang matitipuno at matatangkad na nakamaskarang lalaki ay naalog ako ng konti.
Mostly of the here are wearing bikinis, showing too much skin and drunk, in this hot mess closed area room and now there are boys here?!
And I thought this is only for the girls?
At this quite drunk state of mine, I was even able to make myself shocked when they just do a sexy dance! Hindi pa kasali doon ang sinasabi nilang body shot! Akala ko sa bride lang iyon! Kay Denise lang!
"Your too stiff Raine, C'mon!"
I'm able to see things but I just can't understand the dizziness I feel right now. Some girls grab me. Nakikita ko na si Gigi na naglalagay ng asin sa abs ng lalaki sa harapan namin at si Courtney ganoon din, naglagok din sila ng tequila pagkatapos.
I never thought about this!
Hindi ko napaghandaan!
Masyado ata ako natameme sa harapan ng lalaki nang sa isang tulak lang sa'kin ni Courtney ay napasubsob na ako doon. The guy just grab me by the waist. He laugh. I blink many times and shake my head at the girls at my back whose now are cheering me up.
"S-Saan...pa-paano nga ba 'to? Oh my, ano ba 'to..." Wala sa sarili kong bulong habang nanginginig ang kamay na nilagyan ngayon ng salt ang dibdib na tinuturo ni Gigi ngayon. The guy laughed at me.
"Damn, You're cute," he murmured.
I immediately licked into it. After I suck the lemon and drink the tequila, mas lalong umingay. Agad kong hinanap ang sofa nang nahilo ako. Pagkatapos 'nun, ay sumampay na ako sa sofa.
I'm so freaking drunk!
I don't wanna do this again.
