Love me
"Shot pa!" I winced when James gave me a shot glass again. Black label na kami.
"Oh, ipapa-ikot ko na!" Jason shouted as he spinned the bottle again. Wala na siyang twist kasi ayaw ni Keoz, ang kj nga eh, chour. So 'yon, kapag natapatan ka ng bottle, iinom ka lang ng isang basong black label, hindi shot glass ha? Isang mataas na baso talaga! Nanlaki ang mga mata ko ng tumapat sa akin ang bote! I quickly shook my hands in front of them. Naghiyawan ang mga kaibigan niya at sinalin na sa isang baso ang alak. Tumingin ako kay Keoz, nanghihingi ng tulong. Hindi pa siya nalalasing pero ako medyo tipsy na! He nodded and grabbed the glass of alcohol from his friend.
"Ang daya naman Markeus! Kay Fionna dapat 'yan!" Anang Jason. Tinitigan ko lang si Keoz na isang tunggaan lang ang baso. He let out a large amount of air and put the glass down on the table.
"Sus, iba talaga pag may special someone 'no?" bulong ni Lucas at pumikit. Lasing na siya, pati namumula na rin siya. Tumawa kami sa bulong niyang narinig naman namin.
"Sana all diba? Diba Markeus?" tanong ni Prince kay Keoz. Binato niya si Prince ng takip ng alak.
"Iikot na lang natin ulit!" pinaikot ulit ang bote and my mouth dropped when the bottle pointed at me again! James poured the alcohol in the glass and handed the glass on me. Keoz was about to grabbed it again when I stopped him. I smiled at him and get the glass then drunk on it, naghiyawan ulit sila. Napapikit ako ng manuot sa lalamunan ko ang alak. Medyo umiikot na ang paningin ko ng mag-mulat muli ako. Kita ko ang nag-aalalang tingin sa akin ni Keoz pero nginitian ko lang siya para sabihing okay lang ako. He caressed my shoulder, parang nawala ang antok ko bigla. Nagpatugtog bigla si Prince at nilakasan iyon! Napatingin ako roon sa speaker pero nagulat ako ng maramdaman ko ang labi ni Keoz sa tenga ko. Kinilabutan ako ng maramdaman ko ang hinga niya sa tenga ko kaya medyo umisod ako pero hinila niya rin ako pabalik.
"I like you Fion," then he chuckled and kissed me on my cheeks. I was caught off guard and my eyes widened. His kiss prolong. His friends were busy hitting each other because they're all drunk now. Napalayo ako kay Keoz, tumawa siya at umiling-iling.
"I knew it, you'll never love me Fion. Never," I swallowed hardly when the phone on the table rang. My forehead creased when I saw Max' phone lighting on other phone's screen.
"Ah, guys whose phone is this? Someone is calling," I said to them. Agad bumaling si Geoffrey sa phone. Lumunok ako. I remembered Max' was talking about him days ago. Is it true?
Geoffrey licked his lower lip before answering the phone. Ni-loudspeaker pa niya kaya naririnig ko! And it's Max' voice!
"Hello Geo.." muntikan na akong masuka sa boses niya. Bakit gano'n? Babaeng-babae na parang inipit 'yung boses?! Siya ba talaga 'yun? Pilit na pilit ah?
"Hi Max. It's already late, why are you still calling? Are you okay?" napasapo ako sa noo ko ng umimpit sa kabilang linya si Max. Sinong nanay nito? Pasapak nga! Charot.
Bumaling sa akin si Geoffrey kaya napaiwas ako ng tingin.
Kita ko pa rin ang paglayo niya ng phone sa bibig niya at pag-takip nito dito.
"Fionna, do'n muna ako ha? Gurlfriend ko lang," nanlaki ang mga mata ko. Ngumiti lang siya sa'kin at pumunta na sa veranda. Tumingin ako kay Keoz na knock-out na. Akala ko pa naman high tolerance 'to sa alak?! May pasabi-sabi pa na siya bahala sa'kin? Utot.
Tinapik-tapik ko ang pisngi niya para magising.
"Keoz.. gising ka nga. Mabigat ka 'no," I whispered. I leaned and poked his cheeks, "Huy, wake up, wake up," tumingin ako kay James ng mag-suka na ito sa sahig. Ngumiwi ako at tatayo na sana ng hatakin ako pabalik ni Keoz kaya napadagan ako sa kanya! My heart pound hard. My breathing hitched when he started to make his head closer to mine until our lips met.
I was shocked that my lips parted. I groaned when he pushed his tongue inside and glide his tongue every side of it! Agad akong nagising at napabangon. My chest was moving up and down because of my breathing.
"Fionna, alis na kami ah? Pakasaya kayo rito!" hindi na ako nakasagot kayna Prince dahil sa pagkatulala ko.
Tinapik na lang ako ni Geoffrey at pagewang-gewang na lumabas na ng unit.
I scoffed and put both of my hands on my waist.
I lightly slapped my heart.
"Why are you beating so fast and loud huh? Are you insane?" tanong ko sa puso ko. Alam ko namang di 'to sasagot pero di mo sure baka sagutin ako.
"Fion.." agad akong napatingin kay Keoz na nakahilata sa couch.
"Ano?"
He tsked, "Nothing," he then chuckled. I rolled my eyes and walked in the kitchen to get the mop. Why did James vomit here? Kadiri 'yon!
Tsaka iniwanan nila ako rito mag-isa pagkatapos maki-inom? Ako lang talaga maglilinis nito? Aba, thank you.
I was starting to mop the floor and Keoz keeps muttering something I couldn't understand. Bahala siya diyan, ngayong gabi, dito siya matulog! Ano? Bubuhatin ko siya pataas? Aba, utot niya.
I collected all the empty can beers and throw it on the trash bin. I wiped the table where the alcohols are spilled on.
I sighed. This is such a mess! Why did I allow them to hang out here? Ugh!
I tied my her in a high ponytail and wiped my sweat, why is it getting hot in here?!
"Fion.." I ignored him. Maybe he's just dreaming of me. Well, ako lang 'to, 'yung bubuo ng buhay mo. cHarot.
As I was starting to hum a song Keoz suddenly muttered something that made me stop.
"Can you.. just.." he hiccup, "removed Jerico on your.. mind and just," he hiccup again. My heart raced. I breathed in.
"And just love me Fion?"
