Waking Up in Vegas

Chapter 4

Chapter 4

Fifteen minutes before boarding, we're still checking every area so the passengers will be able to get comfortable and have the best experience on our flight. I keep hanging myself to get on the mood kahit sobrang bagsak ang balikat ko at walang kagana-gana. Pinipilit ko lang kasi on-duty na ako. I'm on the first-class cabin and there are only a few capacities so it wouldn't be hard for me to assist those who have a request.

Pansin din nila Andrew at Caroline ang pagbagsak ng gana ko. Ikaw ba naman laging nasasalisihan ng taong kailangan mong kausapin then in the end, lagi na lang babagsak on what area? Sa kalugmukan! Napapala ng mga masyadong pabida sa dare, pa-kiss-kiss ka pang hayop ka, a, iba tuloy ang nakiskis sa akin! Bwisit!

I was separated to them, too, kaya mag-isa lang ako kasama ang dalawa pang babaeng crewmates ko. Kapag on-board, trabaho lang at walang halong kyeme pero ngayon, hindi ko maaalis sa isipan ko 'yong nangyari kanina. That was so close! Kulang na lang ay lumipad ako at kumapit sa braso niya para lang pigilan siya.

But I could also shout his name and get his attention pero bakit hindi ko ginawa? I was so speechless. I don't even know what should I do at that time.

Kung malakas lang ang loob ko ginawa ko 'yon. But I also did the opposite of that thing, that kiss brought me to hell, not in Vegas!

"Hey, Celyne, are you okay?" One of my girl crewmates asked, tumango naman ako. Hinagod pa niya ang likod ko. "Really? You don't look so well. Is everything all right?" She scrunched her nose.

Grabe naman 'to si ate girl! Dukutin ko 'yang almond eye mo, e! Judgerist! Hindi naman ata nagmamanas mukha 'ko 'no? 'Di pa naman ako preggy!

"I'm fine. I'm just not in the mood."

"Oh, why?" She asked, chismosa rin talaga 'to. Kitang wala nga ako sa mood, kinakausap mo pa ako.

"I didn't get to enjoy Vegas...something happened but don't worry, nothing bad."

Puñemas Cely, anong nothing bad?! Gusto ko nang ibaon ang sarili ko sa hukay sa kahihiyan. Ano kayang iniisip ni Devin ngayon? Does he think of me? Kung gano'n, namiss niya rin kaya ang underground river ko?

"Ladies, position, passengers are boarding in any minute." Our lead cabin crew announced and we all positioned in our areas.

I positioned on the middle area and after a few minutes, nagsimula nang pumasok ang mga first-class passengers. I'm not intimidated by these wealthy people who can afford this seat. Pera nila 'yon and for the fact na nasa Vegas sila, they are wasting, earning million of dollars on casinos. Walang umuuwing luhaan sa kanila! Some ended up going to the strip clubs and pay thousands of dollars to these strippers.

Minsan napapaisip ako, fly high o igiling ko na lang ito sa dancing pole? But I wouldn't ever someone touched me without my consent, ngayon pa nga lang na wala akong ideya sa nangyari sa akin, sobra na akong nagpapanic. How come if I end up going home with someone who just paid me—no attachment, not anything. Ang boring siguro no'n?

"Welcome and good evening! We hope you enjoy your flight, have a good day ahead!" I greeted to the first-class passenger who passed by on me.

Surely, I only get a nod but mostly, snob kapag sobrang yaman at tanda ni passenger. Minsan napapaisip na lang din ako. Bakit hindi na lang sumakay sa private plane o jet? They could even rent those things with those millions they have. Pero not far from me naririnig ko, hindi ko sinasabing si Caro 'to, sasabihin niyang...bakit hindi na lang ako ang sakyan nila? Puñemas!

I repeated the same line when passengers walked past by me and assisted them to their seats. Bilang lamang ang capacity ng first-class seats, more likely nasa twenty lang ang seats at mukhang mapupuno ang first-class cabin today. Bongga lahat ng nanggaling sa Vegas, sana magpaagaw din sila ng cash at poker chips ng libre, e 'di happy life na!
