CHAPTER 22

HECTOR FELIPE

"SEE YOU THERE MAN!" Bob tapped my shoulder before he left the office. I nodded my head and lazily smiled at him in response. Hihintayin daw nila ako sa isang club nearby. Nagkayayaan kasi ang mga 'boys' sa department para mag night out, katatapos lang kasi ng isang successful marketing campaign at naging pagod ang lahat kaya ito ang paraan para mag destress. Sinabi ko sa kanila na susunod ako pero ang totoo, tinatamad ako. Kaya uuwi na lang ako at matutulog.

I grabbed my car key and went straight to the parking area. I drove around the city, looking for some place na pwede akong mag take out ng food. Gutom ako pero ayaw kong magluto. I found a Mexican food stall and bought some burritos, then I walked to the nearest convenient store to buy some beer in cans. I went straight home to my apartment after.

Silence...darkness.. , as always. Yan ang araw-araw na sumasalubong sa akin. I'm bored, I'm tired, but this is so much better than being untruly happy and not knowing if you ever really belong to some people. Drama mo Hector!

I sat on the couch, put all the stuff on the table and opened a can of beer. Sisimulan ko na ang lasingan! Well, hindi naman ako naglalasing araw-araw. Kapag may pasok kinabukasan, tama na ang dalawang lata ng beer. Since tomorrow's start of the weekend, bahala nang mabangag!

I was munching on my food when I suddenly remembered someone. Heto na naman tayo… I heaved a deep sigh and opened another can of beer. I drank it bottoms up. As if, malulunod noon ang laman ng isip ko. I actually miss her. I miss how she takes good care of me, her sweetness… even her cooking. Pero sinungaling naman siya. Kaya bahala siya… bahala sila!

The next day, after sleeping for almost an eternity, I found myself driving around the nightlife district. Naiinip talaga ako, at paulit-ulit na pumapasok ang taong yun sa isip ko kaya naisipan kong mag clubbing. Tonight, I'll be who I am good at, and I'm gonna get laid! Dâmn her! Hindi ko siya iisipin! Malaya ako!

The club I went to was on fire. There were people dancing, wild girls partying, some were kissing non stop and bodies were grinding. Yeah, this is what I want! It's what I want… what I want , right… Ito ang gusto ko. Ito talaga..

Pumwesto ako sa mismong bar, ganadong-ganado ang bartender sa kakabigay ng alak. I told him to concoct me his best, I liked it , kaya paulit-ulit akong humihingi. It felt great, cause it numbs me inside. A little while later, my eyes found a very attractive woman. Lady in red will be my target. Dating gawi!

I walked to go near her, maya-maya ay napansin na niya ako. Then she approached me, she started dancing sexily in front of me. She's a beautiful Latina and she became more attractive when she placed her arms over my shoulders. I get her signals, those small skin contacts while she's dancing is actually what I'm looking for. Gawin na natin ito Hector...matagal-tagal na din ang huli.

We ended up making out in her car, on a dark alley just past the club. Init na init si ate mo. She even straddled me, of course I was turned on. Hindi naman ako santo. But when she was unbuttoning my jeans, parang may umurong sa akin. Pakirmadam ko binuhusan ako ng malamig na tubig. She looked at me, as if questioning my actions. Ang ending, nagalit siya kasi umatras ako. Sinipa niya ako palabas ng kotse niya at iniwan sa lugar na iyon. Inis na inis naman ako sa sarili ko. Ayun na eh ,nandun na oh. Bakit ba kasi hanggang ngayon may epekto pa rin sa akin si Amar!? Sinaktan na nga ako! Kahit kailan còckblocker siya!

"Arghhh! Tangīna Amar! Halos isang buwan na kitang di nakikita!"  Napasigaw ako out of frustration. I just hate that I can't seem to move on from her. Hindi yun nakakagago. She did me wrong, she lied to me… Pero sino ba ang niloloko ko?! Ako ang tao na ang bagal mag move on. Plus the fact that I really love Amar.. I still love her.
