LIONEL'S POV

"Hey, dude! Long time no see!" sabi ni Raven pagkarating ko. He gave me a quick half-hug.

"Yeah! It's been two years, huh?" I replied. 

Veil offered me a bottle of beer. He gave me a friendly smile and raised his bottle of beer as if asking me to drink too. I smiled at him then nodded, gesturing him to hand me a bottle of beer.

"How have you been?" Howel asked as he took a long chug from his first bottle of beer.

"Mukhang jetlag pa siya pare!" natatawang sabi ni Veil.

"Same old," I replied. I lifted my bottle of beer to my lips and looked over to the crowd while taking a drink.

"Woah! Who's the hot chick?" Tanong ni Nathaniel sa kasama ni Friedo.

I curiously look towards the woman, and the dress was sexy indeed. I averted my gaze and leaned back to rest my eyes. A blissful smile graces my face. Every time I close my eyes, I see her.

I opened my eyes at tumingin kay Raven dahil tinawag niya ako. Tinanong pa niya ako kung okay lang ba ako at binigyan ako nang isa pang beer. 

Three hours have passed at nakakarami na rin kami ng inom. I sighed heavily bago ko kuhanin ang phone. Hinanap ko pa ang pangalan niya bago ko siya tawagan at hiniling na sana ay sagutin niya. 

Nahilamos ko ang palad sa mukha ko dahil unattended iyon. Paulit-ulit ko pang tinungga ang beer hanggang sa maubos.

"Stop following me!"

My brows furrowed nang may marinig akong pamilyar na boses.

"Let's have fun, babe."

"Kigwa! Stay away!"

Bigla akong kinilabutan at parang nawala ang pagod na naramdaman ko. Agad akong tumingin sa gilid at napatayo pero wala nang tao roon.

Kinuha ko ang coat at nagpaalam na kay Raven at sa iba pang tropa bago ako bumaba. Nagpalinga-linga ako sa paligid at hinanap siya. Hindi ako p'wedeng magkamali dahil siya lang ang nakilala kong ganoon ang sinasabi kapag naiinis.

"I said... don't touch me!"

I could hear my heart pounding. Naglakad ako papunta sa unahan at napabuga nang hangin dahil siya nga iyon. Gumegewang siya sa paglalakad at nakahawak pa ang gagong lalaking iyon sa kaniyang baywang. 

I could feel anger rushing through my veins to the point when I felt snapping his head was a good option.

"You better not touch her, or I will rip you limb from limb, you fucking piece of shit!" I shouted, making sure he could hear me through the loud music.

Natigil ang ilan sa pagsasayaw at napatingin sa 'kin. Kahit ang lalaking nangungulit sa kaniya ay napatingin din pero saglit lang iyon. Tinulak pa siya ni Eerie saka dinuro.

Anger consumed my body. Bago pa man niya ulit mahawakan ang baywang ni Eerie ay hinila ko na siya papunta sa 'kin. I started to punch him repeatedly in the face.

Maraming umawat sa 'min pero hindi ako tumigil. Nang masiguro kong knockout na siya ay inis kong niluwagan ang necktie ko at sinuklay ang buhok gamit ang daliri ko.
