Ace's POV
"Ace, dude! It has been a long time!"
Someone greeted me the minute I went inside Anton's bar here in BGC. I just couldn't remember who he is. I nodded at him to atleast acknowledge and proceeded to the bar nook.
I am aware about the stares directed at me especially ng mga babae. I don't give a damn, actually. I'm used to it kahit na nasa Amerika pa ako.
Lalo na pag nalaman nila kung sino ako. Not to brag but I really find the women clinging to me and to my status petty.
I sat on one of the stool chairs to where Anton is tending. I already reached out to him before I went here just to make sure.
Anton is one of my closest friends back when I was in elementary. Hindi nawala ang occasional kamustahan online even when I went to Boston when I was 12.
"Ace," simple niyang bati habang busy na nagmi-mix ng drinks.
"Old fashioned, thank you." I said my order before I looked around.
His bar seemed really successful. Ma-tao ngayon perhaps dahil weekend.
"Congrats to your business."
He smirked, "Dude, I'm just lucky because of my dad."
His father, as far as I know, is a retired admiral of the Navy. Anton was a happy-go-lucky back then but his dad really is patient to him.
"How about you? Finally decided to take over the business huh?"
I smirked, "Not fully taking over. Dad can own it all by himself. I'm just doing this for my mom."
He nodded slightly and gave me my drinks.
We were catching up for a while when a petite woman who just sat beside me caught his attention, napatingin tuloy ako.
Wait. She seemed really familiar. Naka-tagilid lang kasi at naka-loose ang mahabang buhok niya kaya natatakpan ng kaunti ang mukha.
She ordered a lot of drinks. I smirked inwardly. Kawawa ang atay ng babaeng ito.
I squinted my eyes at her while she was telling something to Anton.
Holy mother of—
Napalingon siya sa gawi ko at mabilis na tumalikod matapos manlaki ang mga mata niya pagkakita sa akin.
I smirked. Well well well. Look who's here. Mukhang may magbabayad ng nasirang cellphone ngayong gabi.
Curt's POV
Shooocks!
Siya nga yun! Fudge talaga. Of all clubs and places here in BGC, dito ko pa siya nakita sa bar ni Anton! Sa bar pa talaga kung saan ako madalas tumatambay.
Nagmamadali akong umakyat sa second floor para puntahan si Jane. Nakita ko siyang mamula-mula na ang mukha at leeg; downing her last glass of whatever she ordered earlier.
Hindi na ako umupo at isinakbit na rin ang sling bag sa balikat.
"Jane, let's go!"
"Huh?"
She looked at me as if I've grown some heads.
"M-may kailangan pala akong tapusin ngayon. Uwi na tayo," kinakabahan nang sabi ko at hinatak na rin siya.
