" whooo! "
Everyone cheered as I took my fourth shot glass of martini and slammed the small glass on the table.
The alcohol was making my system dizzy again
I laughed with the group as they'd been drinking for a while now, it was just me, Diane, Zack, and Andrew. Celebrating that we finished our exams.
" God, it's so strong! " I complained as I felt the liquor burn down in my throat
" Paulit ulit mo yang sinasabi kanina pa! But see! You're liking it! Making kamatis na muka mo ngayon " Diane drunkenly says while laughing as she falls into Zack's arm
I sent her a playful glare and continued eating grilled beef that we'd been grilling minutes ago.
We were currently at a sanggyupsal restaurant here in Makati, and the food was so nice
The group and I enjoyed our time together and I can confirm that I'm now actually drunk.

Dwight's POV (a few hours ago)
I walked out of the gym, holding my bag and already changed my clothes inside before heading out in the winter, I walked towards where I parked my car and opened the trunk where I placed my things inside
Today was snowing and it was quite freezing
I shut the trunk and slipped out my phone from my pocket to see if I got any messages from Stella.
But I furrowed my eyebrows when she hadn't messaged me anything for the past four hours, I'd left her a couple of messages already, sat I side my car, and dialed her phone number
After a few seconds of waiting for her to pick up, no one was answering.
I sighed and called her again.
I didn't know why but I started feeling a little worried, probably scared for her. Since I'm no longer in the Philippines for a while, where I'm with her.
I know I can't protect her, and I know I can't watch her while she's on my side.
This long distance is killing me
When no one answered my third phone call, I decided to message her again but she was not online.
I threw my phone on the passenger seat before I began driving back to the house.
************
Stella's pov
" Thanks," I said and handed Diane's power bank to her again. She took it and kept it inside her bag
My phone battery died earlier at school and I forgot to bring my charger, I waited a minute for my phone to open
and when it did, nglaki agad mga mata ko ng damages sakin yung missed messages and calls from Dwight
" Excuse me," I said to the group and stood from the seat
I rushed outside where no one was around, I called Dwight's phone and I couldn't help but not feel the headache coming from the alcohol
" Stella? Do you even have any idea how worried I was?! I keep calling you're phone but you're not picking it up, I left you over fifty messages but you're not reading any of them? Where are you? I was so worried that I almost sent Austin and Sean out to look for you— "
" Dwight, calm down, I'm alright and nothing bad happened to me, babe. Lumabas lang kami ng friends ko para kumain, na lowbat ako, but— ugh! I'm so tipsy right now " I complained, feeling my back hit the wall
Dwight sighed heavily
" Yeah, I can notice that. Do you need someone to pick you up? " He asks and I shake my head.
" No, no I'm alright. I'll take a taxi tonight " I replied and started to massage my temples.
" You shouldn't drink you know, you're not that experienced yet " Dwight continues that his already scolding me at this point. I huffed quietly
Ano ba siya? Tatay ko?
After a while of talking to Dwight, he ordered me to go home immediately, and of course, I listened to him since it was for the best
so I headed back inside the restaurant where the three of them were completely drunk now
Andrew fell asleep at the table while Zack and Diane continued laughing at each other
" Uuwi na ko, hinahanap na ko nila Lola eh," I said and grabbed my bag.
I said goodbye to the group and called a taxi, I nearly fell asleep but luckily the driver woke me up and I walked out of the car and walked inside the subdivision.
" Ew, I could smell the alcohol from here "
When I walked inside the house, right away, I heard Daniel's complaint already
I rolled my eyes at him and his voice made me irritated. I removed my shoes and shut the door behind me
" Shut up " I mumbled, as my head started to pound.
" Yaya Emy, meron pa po ba tayong gamot? " I shout and slowly make my way upstairs to my room
" Opo! "
When I got inside my room, I jumped in my bed as my cheek met the mattress
I groaned and shut my heavy eyes, I was almost falling asleep when I heard my phone ringing
I was not gonna pick it up and let the person continue calling me, but it won't stop. I extended my hand and reached for it
" Yes? " I asked, as a yawn escaped my lips
" Baby, make sure you drink something for your hangover, alright? " I heard Dwight's caring voice in the other line.
I felt my cheeks turned so red and I couldn't help but not to smile
" You so care about me, huh? " I asked, almost reading him, I heard Dwight let out a snort
" Isn't it obvious? " He asks.
This guy's attitude, really
" Just go and rest, I'll call you tomorrow " Dwight continued and I said goodbye. Finally, I drifted into a long sleep
