Until I Chase No More

"Ano na naman 'to? Akala ko ba ready ka na bago kita sunduin!? Maghihintay na naman ako"

I cant hid the irritation in my voice as I opened the door at her condo. Janna gave me duplicate of her keys though. Ilang beses na ring umikot ang mga mata ko dahil sa frustration.

"Atat na atat ka ata? I'm not yet even done with my make up. Go calm your ass off while I'm doing my make up" walang modo niyang sabi at inikutan din ako ng mata.

Kita mo 'to? Siya na nga ang sinundo, siya pa ang arogante. I can't believe her, Gosh! She's stressing me out!

"Shut your mouth. Iiwan talaga kita" I threatened her while opening her fridge.

I grab a bottle of milk and drink it straight back in the couch. I'm not really into night outs and parties. You know, I accepted Janna's invitation because Hansel will be in the same event too.

"I got your invitation, you can't enter without it, George"

We both stuck our tongue at each other ang both rolled our eyes. Minsan talaga, hindi kami magka sundo. In our 25th years of living in this world, bihira lang namin makita ang isa't-isa na mature kausap. We both got the same attitude. That's probably the reason why we hang out usually.

I only put light make up kasi sa club lang naman ako pupunta. Hindi ko gusto ng makapal. I won't be comfortable while partying. While Janna, on the other hand put fierce make up that really looks good on her.

I just wore red fitted strapless dress and black heels.

"You good?" She asked while putting her lipstick in her pouch. I just nodded at her in response.

She's so stunning tonight. Sheena's party will surely be wild.

"Can I drive?" She asked with her puppy eyes. I just nodded and handed her the key.

We we're silent for the whole 20 minutes. We just listened to the songs she played on. And I'm glad she didn't ask anything.

"Stay sober okay?" She reminded me again kaya inikutan ko siya ng mata.

Ako ang hindi nalalasing sa'ming dalawa. Hindi naman kasi ako masyadong umiinom. And besides, I really need to stay sober para hindi kami madisgrasya sa daan. She always passed out by just drinking 5 shots of tequila.

Ugh! Can't imagine her for not having high alcohol tolerance!

She encircled her arms in my shoulder as we enter. Madami ng tao pagdating namin. Malakas na rin ang hiyawan ng mga tao kasi sa hallway pa lang, dinig na namin ang tugtog at sigawan ng mga tao.

Sheena is very popular. Isa itong sikat na artista kaya hindi nakapagtatakang madami itong kakilala at madaming kaibigan. She even rented this whole goddamn club for one night.

We went to our couch na inilaan talaga sa'min ni Sheena. Sheena's one of our friends. Hindi nga lang kami masyadong nagkikita because of tight schedules.

The waiter came getting our orders kaya si Janna ang nag-asikaso at siya na rin ang umorder. Busy ako sa pagtingin ng mga taong naglulumpungan at sumasayaw sa dance floor. Some of them are making out infront of crowd! Holly shit! I never imagined myself to be in their shoes.

The whole place is covered with artificial smoke and everyone went wild when the music changed. Pati na rin si Janna napasayaw sa upuan.

"Let's go to dance floor?" I was about to grab her hand when she pulled it.

"I don't wanna dance when I'm not druk" napataas ang kilay ko sa sinabi niya. Eh obvious naman na gusto na niyang magsasasayaw 'don.

"Why not?" siguro nakulitan na siya sa'kin kaya binatukan niya ako sa binigay ang wine glass na kanina pa pala sa harap namin. Hindi ko lang napansin na may waiter na palang nag lapag ng alak sa table namin.
