"What took you so long to get here?" A gravelly irate voice spoke.One of the Costa Mafia Capo asked, and I can't tell who it was because my brain is still processing what is happening right now.
It is not Xavi's because he sounded young and kind, but whoever spoke sounded sardonic.
And I am not prepared to see them all three together. Halos kabahan na nga ako nang makita ko si Xavi kaninang umaga sa personal tapos idagdag mo pa ang dalawang Capo na si Aksel at Bowie.
Sure, I was somehow expecting Leah here, but I didn't expect the capos of an infamous mafia group to be here.
Well, this is a freaking strip club. I shouldn't be surprised. Ginala ko saglit ang mga mata ko sa table nila pero hindi ko nakikita si Leah.
Where is she? Akala ko ba kasama niya si Xavi?
Kahit madilim ay aninag ko pa rin ang mga itsura nila at nasa memorya ko pa rin kung ano ang kanilang mga itsura. Even if I close my eyes, I could probably tell how they look like.
Bumalik ako sa kasalukuyan ng marinig ko ang malakas na hampas sa mesa. "Miss, are you fucking deaf? Hindi mo ba ako naririnig?"
Napatingin ako kay Bowie Gallo na galit na galit sa akin at mukhang nakarami na siya ng nainom na alak.
Tahimik lang ang dalawang Capo. Si Aksel ay nanatili ang mga tingin sa akin at samantalang abala naman si Xavi sa kanyang cellphone.
I didn't know Bowie would be this intense in person, sa litrato kasi na pinakita ni Detective ay mukha siyang mabait na University Professor yung tipong pwede mo syang lapitan kahit kailan kung may hindi ka man maintindihan sa lesson.
Bowie's green eyes are pretty. I'd give him that pero yun lang naman ang maganda sa kanya. Mata. I wonder how many times those eyes have seen blood.
Aksel Romano's hair looks longer in person than in pictures, and he has a beard now. Sa picture kasi na nakita ko noon ay wala. He has this carefree look on his face na nakakairita.
Yung tipong kahit hindi niya pa binuksan ang kanyang bibig ay alam mong hindi na maganda ang lalabas dito.
Xavi Pravo doesn't even care about what's going on around his surroundings. Sigurado ba si Noah na kay Xavi ako dapat pinaka mag ingat?
Kasi sa mga oras na ito ay mas nakakatakot ang galit ni Bowie.
I swallowed before speaking. "I'm sorry, Sir. It took a while for your drinks to get here because I had a hard time looking for your table. I just got the job today, and I am still not familiar with the place. Again, I am sorry for the inconvenience it brought to you."
"Then they shouldn't have fucking hired you! Do you have any idea how long I waited for this damn liquor?!"
Bowie's voice boomed around the table. Even with the loud music the other people at the nearby tables glanced at us. Ito ang unang pagkakataon na sinigawan ako ng customer.
Sa lahat ng pwedeng customer ay Capo pa ng Costa Mafia pag minamalas ka nga naman. So, anong balak niya ngayon? Ipapapatay niya ba ako dahil nahuli ako sa paghatid ng alak niya?
"I am so sorry, Sir. I will talk to our bartender. Ako na po ang magbabayad ng mga inumin niyo ngayong gabi to compensate."
Humalakhak si Bowie and nakita kong umiling si Aksel sa akin.
Aksel looks so amused by the situation at nakita ko pa kung paano niya ako tignan mula ulo hanggang paa as he drinks from his beer. It made me feel uncomfortable.
