Love Again

I don't like crowds.

Sweaty, sticky, drunken crowd. Band per band lahat sila nagsasayawan. Parang di nauubos ang energy. Just like Elie, sya na ung humila hila sa akin buong araw sa mga boutiques at nagpili pili ng outfit na to. She get me a bloodred mini dress paired with a leather jacket tapos pina-makeup pa ako ng mala smoky eyes tas pale red lips.

In my opinion, mukha akong prosti... pero sakanya naman I look kickass and hot. Kaya siguro mga a...h0les din ang laging nakatingin and hitting me. I just brush them off as I swig a gulp of beer into my throat.

If Elie thinks sa ganitong paraan ako makaka-one night stand. Nagkakamali sya. Most of the guys are just attracted with the boobs inside this dress and my rose down there. Pare-parehas lang sila.

I already lock my mind na men are predators. Pero hindi ako isa sa mga prey nila. I bought another bottle of beer to keep me busy.

Magkaibang magkaiba kami ni Elie. She's an extrovert. She loves to party, fun, laughs alot, bossy and adorable. Everyone likes her. A socialite girl... beauty, travel blogger and has a spot in a fashion magazine as a writer. She's what guys want. Had ton of hot boyfriends, either in showbiz or nonshowbiz in the past. But still ended up single at the moment. She had this motto: Do it now, regret it later.

Compared naman sakin, I'm the social-less girl also known as an introvert. Hindi naman ayoko ng friends and party like that. Pero I like dealing with people in a short number. I'm more comfortable on one-on-one conversation, or a small circle of friends. Pero ung ganitong party ma siksikan ang tao, I tend to shrink and found myself waiting at the wall or drinking beers alone in the bar like this. Siguro kaya I stayed with my first and only longtime boyfriend. I mean ex-boyfriend.

Elie and I wouldn't be this close kung ngaun kami nagkakilala. Maybe our path would meet pero Hindi kami magging bestfriends. Parehas naman kasi kaming nasa fashion industry.

We are more like sister, she's the big sis who always saves my day. My protector from all the bullies back when we were still in gradeschool. Who never left me eating alone sa cafeteria kahit na sya ung queen bee and cheer captain in highschool.

Tapos hindi din kami nagkakahiwalay sa seating arrangement kasi ang whole name nya is Elizabeth Buttin a.k.a Elie.

While my whole name is Elizabeth Button a.k.a Lizzy.

my mom and her mom were bestfriends kaya siguro destined na din kami maging bestfriends.

My reverie cut off ng...

Nawala sa paningin ko si Elie ng biglang nagdilim ang paligid. Biglang may tumunog, a catchy set of notes from the guitar habang madilim pa din.

A faint spotlight flashes to the stage at niliwanagan ang isang lalaki. Blonde hair, edgy face -- pronounced cheekbones, pointy nose and squared jawline.

He's charismatic and handsome in his own ways. He smiles crookedly as he sings his lines. I don't know how to completely describe this feeling I'm having.

I was like being drawn to him. Pero yan naman ata nakikita ng lahat ng kababaihan and I won't be one of those pathetic girls.

Then as I was deeply watching him, his set of eyes fixed on mine. He had this vibe on me that I just can't seem to understand. Some thing inside me wanted to remember a feeling I had forgotten a long time ago.

I broke first on our staring game. So I faced the bar and continuously push the alcohol down my throat. This is completely wrong. I shouldn't have thought that.
