Briana Huangco's POV

That night, I went to a club with my friends. Jed invited us for some celebration before his wedding which is next week. I'm actually thinking to burst out my feeling through clubbing but as I came, I decided to set aside my personal issues and just get along with them and have fun.

I first saw Jaycee in a lounch with other group of people, probably finding someone to flirt around. As he saw me, he just pointed a table where our friends at and get back on chattering with people with whom he is with.

"Baby girl!!" Mystica blissed out as she saw me walking towards them. Napa tingin na din sa akin sila Jed at Shainna.

"Bawal na nga baby girl, diba? May magagalit!" Jed told Mystica. Agad naming sumingit si Shainna.

"Tanga! Wala na! Break na diba!?" singhal ni Shainna kay Jed. Agad naman syang sinitsitan ni Mystica at pinanlakihan ng mata. Shainna pursed her lips and slowly sip on his glass as she remembered something. While Jed was just laughing at her.

"Wala na pala, eh! Tara na, Anna! Hanapan kita lalaki!" Jed stood up and hook his arm on my nape while sneeking his head up like he's really looking a guy for me.

"Sira! Kailangan ko alak!" I took his hand off me and sat on the couch where he's sitting a while ago. Dun na lang sya sa arm rest naupo. "Asan asawa mo?" I asked.

"Wala. Nasa bahay. Hindi naman mahilig sa ganito 'yun." He explained and pour me a glass of tequila.

"Nako! Pano 'yan, pag kasal ka na, bawal na magwalwal!" Asar ni Shainna sa kanya. I suddenly remember her feeling towards Jed. But based on the emotion I am seeing now, seems like she's already moved on and her feelings for Jed have already gone. I don't know if she's just hiding it or what. Pero lamang pa rin yung sayang nakikita ko sa mata niya. Maybe she just accept the fact that Jed is already getting married.

"Next week! Next week pa! Gusto ko nga takasan, eh!" Nakatanggap si Jed ng sunod sunod na batok samin dahil sa sinabi nya. "Tangina nyo! Nagbibiro lang, eh!"

"Sabihin ko 'yan kay mareng Kaila, eh. Baka ikaw pa takasan non," biro ni Mystica. Kila is Jed's fiancé.

"Oh my God! Oh my God!" Shainna suddenly exclaimed and slap Mystic a's arm continuesly. Her eyes are widened and mixed emotions are all over her face while looking at the direction behind me.

"Tangina Shainna! Ano ba 'yon?!" sigaw ni Mystica sa kanya. Sa sobrang gulat ata ni Shainna hindi nya na magawang magsalita at tinuro na lang yung direksyon sa likod. Then we all looked at the direction where Shainna is pointing at and we were all shocked from what we saw.

"Tama ba 'tong nakikita ko?" I mumbled.

"Lasing na ata si Jaycee," Jed said who's beside me.

"Jaycee is kissing a girl, dude!" Shainna exclaimed and jump on her seat out of excitement. Napailing na lang ako at ininom ang tequila na binigay ni Jed.

In this nightclub, we were offered various delicious foods and drinks. We then decided to enjoy the provided food and drink. It was one of the greatest night. I really enjoyed the moment. While eating and drinking we share our personal and collective experiences. while chatting, we also move our bodies, hands and sometimes beat our feet on the floor following the rhythm of the presented modern music. The waited moment eventually came through. All of us then stood up and went dancing. My night was so pleasing and enjoyable. It's a memorable moment in my life.

After spending our night joyfully, then we decided to come home so as to give a rest for our bodies and minds. When I was on the bed, I couldn't sleep. This is the first time i've stepped up for myself and I feel ok about it. I'm not that overthinking.
