Marian's POV
"Marian..." Nagising ako ng maramdaman kong may yumuyugyog sa balikat ko. I opened my eyes and saw a pair of deep olive eyes staring back at me. I smiled at his handsome face, still disoriented. His brows creased in a deep V. "What are you smiling about?"
"H-huh?" I quickly sat up nang magbalik ang katinuan ko. It was only then that I realized it was Seth. He was sitting on the edge of the couch, looking at me like I was a weird alien.
"Who gets drunk after three cans of beer? Really?" He snickered.
"Sino'ng drunk?" I asked. All I remember was having a drink and conversation with Seth and feeling sleepy after a few drinks. I sat up.
"Just get up. I'm hungry." He rubbed his tummy like a hungry 5-year-old.
"O, e'di kumain ka..." I muttered.
"Naubusan na ko ng pagkain. Bili ka ng dinner, d'yan lang sa baba." Sabi niya.
I let out a huff and got up. "Ano bang gusto mo?"
"I'm thinking pasta." He said. "Meron Italianni's sa malapit lang dito, doon ka na lang bumili."
"Opo, boss." I sarcastically said and rolled my eyes.
Binigyan niya ako ng pera pangbili ng dinner at nagmamadaling pinaalis ako. Halos itulak na nga ako palabas ng unit. Problema nun? I was hardly even awake. I looked at the closed door with my brows knitted together before letting out a huff and walking away. I rode the elevator and it stopped a couple of floors down. A man went in and stood beside me and gave me a glance. Ilang beses siyang lumingon sa akin. I felt creeped out and the fourth time he looked at me, I sneered at him. Nakahinga ako ng maluwag ng bumukas ang elevator at nagmamadali akong lumabas. Well, that was weird.
Italianni's was just a few walks away from Seth's condominium building. As I was walking, I felt like everyone was looking at me. Naisip ko baka napaparanoid lang ako, epekto ng beer na nainom ko. I wasn't fond of alcohol. Kahit noong nagbabar kami nina Abby tuwing girl's night out madalas juice lang ang iniinom ko. I was greetd by a waitress. She just stood there with a look of both hesitation and amusement on her face. I opened my mouth to ask for the menu but before a word came out of it...
"Miss..." Isang lalaki ang lumapit sa akin. He was tall, fair skinned, chinky eyed and so gwapo.
I turned my head to him and smiled. "Yes?" My voice slightly squealed.
"Um, may konting dumi ka yata sa mukha." He said, touching his forehead.
My hand went up to my face and I wiped my forehead. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang tinutukoy niyang dumi kaya kung saan saan dumapo ang kamay ko para punasan ang duming iyon.
"Hindi matanggal." The guys shook his head. "Why don't you go to the restroom? Basain mo na lang. Ito ang panyo kung kailangan mo." He handed me a brown patterned handkerchief. I looked down at it for awhile. Inilapit niya pa ito sa akin at nag-aalinlangan na kinuha ko iyon.. I excused myself and went to the restroom.
