That Monday Night

01

I woke up with the strong rays of the sun hitting my face.

Kinusot kusot ko ang mga mata ko at akmang uupo na sana nung natigilan ako at may naramdaman akong kamay na nakapulupot sa may bewang ko. I immediately looked at myself to see if I was still wearing my clothes and a part of my soul left my body.

I wasn't.

"Shit." I cursed at myself inwardly when I saw I was only wearing an unfamiliar white shirt and my red laced panties, with my bra nowhere to be found. The guy beside me just shifted hissleeping position which made me look at him. My jaw literally dropped when I saw the guy from last night, sleeping soundly beside me without a shirt on. 

Mortified, I was lowkey panicking and was kind of dumbfounded.

Nasapo ko ang ulo ko at napasinghap.

Anong ginawa ko kagabi? shit wala akong maalala.

This is bad. I just came from a break up and hours later I'd find myself in a room that's not mine with a half-naked stranger beside me which I think I just had sex with.

Did I seriously just have my first with a random guy? Not that it mattered cause virginity is a social construct anyway but, What the fudge?

Couldn't I at least have experienced it sober though?

Nakatulala pa rin ako, still proccessing the events that happened overnight when I heard my phone ring and found it sa bedside table with a glass of water beside it. Dali dali ko naman iyon inabot sa takot na baka magising itong nasa tabi ko.

I saw my bestfriend's name on the screen and immediately answered the call.

//"Oh Gosh! I've been calling you since yesterday. San ka ba nagsususuot? I was dead worried!"// bungad niya, I had to put my phone away from my ears dahil sumakit iyon dahil sa high pitched na boses niya.

I rolled my eyes as I took a glance at the guy who was still asleep hanggang ngayon at dahan dahang kinuha gamit ko na nakita kong nakaayos sa couch niya sa corner ng kwarto.

Triny kong pakiramdaman kung masakit kapag naglalakad kasi diba sabi you'd feel sore after your first? Pero hindi naman masakit.

I was confused, big time. Baka hindi lang talaga siya magaling? Kaya di ko maalala? Sabrina's voice brought me back to reality.

I cleared my voice to make it seem like I'm chill para hindi ako paghinalaan ni Sabrina, I still don't remember what exactly happened last night kaya ayoko pa ikwento. Dahan dahan kong inalis yung kamay nung guy at tahimik na tumayo hoping thatI don't wake him up.

//" U-uh Sab hey! I'm fine, really, I just needed some alone time."// I tried my best to not sound awkward, praying that she won't catch anything. I don't really know why I'm that nervous that she'd find out when I know na if ever, she'd be the last one to suspect dahil sa kadense-an niya.

I took one last glance at the sleeping beauty before I quietly closed the door to leave.

//"Girl I know you. ASAN BA YANG IAN NA YAN MEDYO TANGINA NIYA HA."// I chuckled at how cute Sab sounds when she curses, which rarely happens.

//" Yeah. Tangina niya talaga. I guess I'm not that okay but I'm sure I will be. Ako pa ba?"//

//"Hng. I have my doubts pero sige I trust you. 'Nga pala today yung start ng enrollments what's your plan?"// Natigilan ako sa harap ng pinto at naalala yung mga nangyari kahapon.

//:{12 HOURS AGO}://

"Kailan mo planong sabihin kay Dad mo?" Sabrina carefully asked nung lumapit siya saakin at nilapag ang Caramel Frappe sa harap ko. I sighed as I was staring at the two envelopes I have in my hands.
