It took one hour before Teddy was able to finish transforming me into what he called sexy swan. Phew I thought it was forever, but I think it went well. I look at the mirror and saw this gorgeous lady in front of me. I can't remember the last time I look like this. My curve hips were being highlighted by my bold and sexy knitted dress. Good thing I was not able to eat a lot since I am so busy, that I managed to maintain my slim figure. My bestfriend Teddy did a great job by picking the right lipstick and make up that will able to intensify my beauty. What am I saying? Is this vanity? Oh well, let's just get to bar, have some fun and some drinks and go home. I just wish nothing bad will happen.
We decided to check in at Royal Bar which is nearer to my house, Makati City. It was exactly 10:30 when we arrived and it seems that the night is so busy. Everybody is holding something, either a bottle of beer, a glass of vodka, or someone's hand while dancing on the floor. The music is so loud that I can feel my heart beating aloud. Teddy was holding my hand while he leads us to our table.
Teddy: "Dude, one shot of vodka please, " saying in a masculine voice.
(Even though Teddy is gay, he never showed it to anyone. Actually when we are in public he acts like a real man. I was the only one who knows the real him.)
Teddy: "How about you Mitch?"
Me: "One martini, thanks."
Time has passed and we talked many stuff, from our memories in childhood, our dreams together as friends, to not so important topics and of course he mentioned again about me having zero romance. We danced like there's no tomorrow. We just stop when I said that I have to go to the powder room.
(Inside the powder room I hear these ladies talking)
Girl 1: "So how's between you and Gino, Rachel?"
(hmm Gino? Is this the same Gino that I know. I continued listening to them, pretending that I am powdering my face)
Girl 2: "Still the same. He is kinda of boring. He's head over heels in love with me. He's so cliny and possessive. Arrghhh I hate it that I have to ask his permission every time I go out. So annoying. I can't even go to a bar without him."
(What?!! Is he backstabbing his boyfriend)
Girl 1: "But he looks so sweet to you. I saw you two earlier and I thought you are in good terms. What is the problem?"
Girl 2: "Nothing. Never mind him. for sure he is waiting outside now, making sure no guys will go near to me. He is too much for me to handle. If I know that he will be like this, I should've not snatched him from his girlfriend."
(Wait?! I am really confused right now. Who is this Gino they are talking about? I really want to know who is this guy)
After the girls talked, they went out and I secretly followed them.
(What am I doing? Stop Mitch! For sure he is not the same Gino)
But still I followed.
Outside the powder room, there I saw this familiar face, seems mad and is now talking to the girl I saw inside the powder room. They look like they are fighting.
Guy: "What took you so long? I have been waiting here for thirty minutes."
Girl: "The hell I care. Just get lost!"
Guy: "Stop Rachel, you're already drunk. Let's just go home."
Girl: "You go home. I can take care of myself. Come one Kate."
The guy was about to follow but one hand suddenly grabs his arm.
(Yes, it's mine. I grabbed Gino's arm withouth even thinking and now he is looking at me with his blank eyes.)
