Zephyr Strings

Kabanata 4

Ginala niya ang kaniyang paningin habang ginagawa iyon at biglang namilog ang mga mata at dumapo ang malawak na ngisi sa kaniyang mga labi.

Marami na akong nainom. I feel a bit dizzy too. Since I was absent for a month in this field, I'll cherish this night. May group reporting kami at mahihirapan akong pumunta sa ganitong party.

"Diyan ka na nga, kukuha ako ng inumin." I said as I stood up.

"Sabay na tayo, may pupuntahan ako." Cohen took his phone from the table.

Sabay kaming umalis ni Cohen sa lugar na iyon at naghiwalay sa kalagitnaan. I went to the bar counter and smiled at the bartender. Mellow rock na ang music ngayon ngunit medyo maingay pa rin dahil sa mga lasing.

"Tequila, please." I grinned.

Sinenyasan ko ang waiter na dumaan. Agad itong lumapit sa akin. I peeled off my coat when I felt it was getting hotter. Hinawi ko ang buhok ko at binigyan ng isang libo ang waiter.

"One pack of Camel, menthol. Keep the change." I smiled and winked at him.

He bit his lip and nodded. Binalingan ko ang tequila at pinanood ang kumakanta ngayon habang umiinom. The neon lights made me dizzy. I took the lemon and had another shot. May naupo sa tabi ko. He's tall and a hunk. His semi-shaved hair and hooded eyes made him look even more attractive.

"Are you alone?" he asked in a deep voice.

"Yeah. How about you?" I said as I took another shot.

"I'm alone too. Just chilling." He smirked, and his eyes drifted to my body before going back to my face. "Are you new here? I've never seen anyone as beautiful as you. You're a bomb."

Nginitian ko siya at tinanggap ang sigarilyo na inabot sa akin ng waiter. I took one from the pack and turned to the guy beside me.

"Do you have a lighter?" I asked.

He chuckled and handed me his electric lighter. Ngumisi ako at kinuha iyon. I inhaled after lighting up the cigarette and exhaled the smoke through my nose.

"I'm not new here. I'm occupied with my studies nowadays. How about you?" I muttered while smoking.

"I'm taking Engineering. I'm graduating, so I'm kind of busy. Glad I found you here." He chuckled.

I drank another shot, and my vision started spinning like a wheel. Natawa ako at tumayo. The guy beside me held my waist to guide me. I stared at him. Nawala ang ngiti niya nang makita ang seryoso kong titig sa kaniya.

"Why are you glad to see me?" I asked and crouched a bit.

He licked his lips as he scrutinized my body and face. Inabot ko ang isang baso ng whiskey sa isa niyang kamay at nilagok iyon. I shut my eyes and bit my lip.

"Are you free tonight?" he asked instead of answering my question.

I grinned and opened my eyes. I stared into his eyes for a moment. He looks good, and I really like guys with beautiful eyes. Sayang, I am not in the mood suddenly.

"I am, but I am not in the mood, so..." I whispered and gave him deep and lustful kisses.

Humigpit ang hawak niya sa akin at ginantihan ang mga halik ko. I held the side of his neck and bit his lip before sucking it. Lumayo ako sa kaniya at namumungay na ang mga mata niya gaya ko. I licked my lips.

"See you around..." I whispered, and I gave him another swift kiss before leaving him.

Iniwan ko ang sigarilyo roon at halos mabuwal nang mag-angat ako ng tingin. Casimir, who had knitted brows and piercing eyes, was standing not far from me. With his jaw clenched and his face cast in shadow, he appeared even more menacing.
