Strings Attached (Cebu Séries #1)

"Hey, what should I wear?",

"Suotin mo nga lang kahit ano. I mean... normal clothes but elegant, 'yong hindi tayo magmumukhang harbat",

Napanguso nalang ako sa kanilang dalawa. Kanina pa nila pinag-aawayan kung anong susuotin ngayon. It really gives me a headache though, they both whinning about their clothes to wear. While me, I don't have the urge to change my clothes.

Nakasuot pa rin ako ng staff uniform. Hindi na ako nakapagbihis dahil pinick-up nila agad ako sa coffee shop. Yeah, they did that a lot of times, kaya sanay na din ako kapag may ganitong hangouts. They just wanted to make sure that I will never backdown to the party.

Madalas kasi nila akong niyayaya, but I always neglect their invitations. Kaya sa tuwing umo'oo agad ako, they actually never let me go, and they mostly do something that I could never step back in our haunts. Sort of, I could never runaway to them nor escape them.

"Come on ash, magbihis kana. I have spare clothes in my closet. Madami kang pagpipilian do'n", nasaharap ito sa akin habang nakapamewang.

"Okay, pero hindi ako magsusuot ng hindi ako komportable", saad ko nito.

"You have no choice, my clothes are too showy, kaysa naman ganyan ang suot mo", sinuyod niya ng tingin ang suot ko kaya napanguso ulit ako.

"She's right ash, you should wear something presentable rather than that. And besides, we're going to a club so that's okay", sabi ni Dawnel kung saan nakaupo lang ito sa sofa habang nakatingin sa akin.

I sighed deeply, a cue that I don't have a choice but to wear Klarence's clothes.

"A'right",

We changed clothes and fixed ourselves. It took a lot of time, since they really aced to make ourselves beautiful. Minake-upan nila ako, 'cause I don't know how to do it. Kaya sila mismo ang gumawa, and it turns out really good. Iba talaga ang nagagawa ng make-up, from dukha to a hot beautiful chic.

"Shit ang ganda mo na, ganito ka dapat mag-ayos ash. You should flaunt your beauty", komento ni Klarence, katatapos lang nitong ayusan ako.

"Yeah, tao kana ash", tamad na sabi ni Dawnel.

I smiled to them. "Thank you, I really look good", I said softly as I watched myself in the mirror.

Klarence laughed. "It's all because of me, thanks to the make-up artist", she said loud and proud

As we're done on our stuffs, we immediately rode Klarence's car. The trip was not long, it was definitely short. Hindi naman kasi malayo ang club na pupuntahan namin, kaya hindi ko masyadong na enjoy ang byahe namin.

Gusto ko pa naman sumasakay sa kotse na nagmamasid sa paligid. I'm so fond of watching the city. For me, it's like a paradise, a wide city of avenues we're people indulged in everything. Despite the wrath view which showered upon, the city still stands beyond its beauty.

Kaya hindi ko mapigilang mapasimangot ngayon dahil naputol ang pagtatanaw ko do'n. Since this time, the ride was short and I totally didn't enjoy the view.

"Nando'n naba sila?", Klarence asked as she pulled out the car on the mere side of the parking lot.

"Yeah, they're waiting for us", Dawnel stated.

Tumigil bigla ang sasakyan, hudyat na nandito na talaga kami.

Napatingin si Klarence sa amin. "Okay girls, let's enjoy the party, but let's not get laid tonight. Are we clear?",

Sabay kaming napatango sa kanya na tila mga batang masunurin.

"Hindi dapat isusuko ang kabataan", saad ni Dawnel.
