Ewan ko. Hindi ko na alam. Huwag mo akong tanungin.
Tangina, mababaliw na yata ako. Kinakausap ko na 'yung sarili ko.
"Blake!"
"Oo, ito na! Stop shouting!"
Ayaw ko talaga na sinisigawan ako. Pero sumigaw din ako pabalik kaya okay lang.
And I understand the frustration because I've been showering for more than an hour now. Fuck. Hindi ko na namalayan ang oras dahil sa mga iniisip.
"I'll leave my car here muna, Ram. Ayaw ko munang gamitin at baka maamoy ko pa 'yung mga nilabas ni Blake kagabi."
I flipped my finger on him as we stride our way out of the elevator in Ram's condo building.
"I'll go with Ram. Doon ka kay Elijah."
I am actually thankful for them for not bringing me home today because my mom would surely take care of me and I don't want that. My drunk ass isn't my mom's obligation, it's my friends' obligation.
Natawa ako nang mahina dahil sa iniisip kaya naman ay tinignan ako ni Ram na parang naweweirduhan na sa akin.
"Ang sakit ng ulo ko." I reclined the seat so I could sit comfortably and closed my eyes. The side of my lips stretched when I realized na ako ngayon ang passenger princess ni Ram. "Why don't you find a girlfriend para may passenger princess ka na Ram?"
"I have no time for that." he said as he lazily sat on his seat, his right hand was maneuvering the steering wheel while his left arm was resting on the window. "Why don't you find your passenger princess instead?"
"Ayaw ko. Gusto ko ako 'yung passenger princess." I closed my eyes when I felt like I'm going to vomit.
This is what I don't like about hangovers. It makes me feel sick.
"So you're telling me that if you're going to have a girlfriend, you would rather sit on the front seat while you make them drive for you?"
I faint chuckle went out of my mouth, imagining a woman driving for me while I was sitting on the front seat.
"That's ridiculous, man." I said.
I can't imagine myself asking my girl to drive for me.
"It is. I don't even let Kiel drive for me." my eyebrows furrowed thinking how is our conversation connected to Kiel. He just mentioned his name out of nowhere. "I mean, I don't let my friends drive for me so what made you think I'd let a woman drive for me?"
"Hindi ko naman inisip 'yan. Ikaw nga ang nagtanong kung hahayaan ko ba na ipag-drive ako ng girlfriend ko." gusto kong umirap ngunit si Ram itong kausap. I feel like even rolling my eyes on him feels illegal and forbidden.
"Whatever, Blake. Let's drop this topic."
He opened a different topic after that, but I felt like I was in the hot seat because he asked me about last night.
"I don't have a boyfriend. The woman mistaken me with someone else." I said, lying a bit. "Ano pala ang nangyari at paano ako nakauwi sa condo mo?" tanong ko dahil hindi ko na maalala ang sunod na nangyari pagkatapos makabalik sa upuan namin.
"We dragged you out of the place." he said like it's the most normal thing to do.
"Drag talaga? Hindi niyo man lang ako binuhat?"
"You're too heavy." I went silent imagining them dragging me just so we could reach Aiden's car. It's a little bit embarrassing knowing that there were other people there.
By thinking about it, a certain person came to my mind. He offered to bring me home. If I said yes, would he be able to bring me home? Ni hindi niya nga alam kung saan ako nakatira.
