Pretty but Deadly

Chapter 13: Deadlier When Drunk

So, finally, here it is. This chapter contains *coughs* (extreme) offensive words. Sorry for those bad words, but this is Aurora's murderous mind so bare with it and accept it with flying colors! Haha! And, I also let out some things in my Box of Revelations, so read between the lines. *winks*

Thank you for the long wait :* Expect an update tomorrow.

Everything is getting fuzzy. And I really mean, every damn thing is being blurry. Is it my eyes or this place is really moving or whatever? Malabo na ata ang mga mata ko. I should visit an ophthalmologist tomorrow. This isn't good during fights, especially when using a gun. Anyway, kaya ko pa namang makakilala ng mga bagay-bagay, so yeah...

Tumayo ako at ──Woah! Muntikan na akong matumba. I giggled unknowingly. Muntikan lang naman. Napahawak ako agad sa lamesa kaya di ako lumagapak sa sahig. "Thanks, glass table..." I murmured. It just saved my damn life. Tsk! Bat kasi ambigat ng ulo ko at ang init?! Cursed you heavy head!

Huhubarin ko na sana ang damit ko dahil sa sobrang init ng may nahagip akong pamilyar na taong dumaan sa kabilang bahagi. Naniningkit ang mga mata ko habang kinikilala ito.

"Max?" Anong ginagawa niya dito? "Max! Maaax!" Tawag ko sa kanya. Actually, napansin niya na ako sa una kong tawag pero gusto ko lang talagang sumigaw.

Napalingon naman ito sa gawi ko, "Aurora?" Gulat nitong wika. "A-Anong ginagawa mo dito?" Nauutal nitong tanong ng makalapit. Tinaasan ko ito ng kilay. Hindi ba dapat ako ang nagtatanong kung bakit siya nandito?

"What are you doing here, too?" I asked while squinting my eyes for further focus.

"Mafia stuffs." Simpleng sagot nito. Tsk! Yeah, right! He's still working in that shitty organization after all. "Sino bang nagdala sayo rito?" May bakas ng pagtataka at kaba ang tono ng boses nito. Weird. Wala namang problema sa lugar, ah.

"Demon Henderson." Maikling sagot ko at natawa. I don't know but I just feel like laughing though there is nothing funny in this conversation.

Nanlaki ang mga mata nito sa sagot ko, "What? You mean, D-Devon Henderson?" Bago pa ako magtanong kung anong problema ay bigla itong napatingin sa hawak ko. "Wait! What's that?" Tinignan ko ang tinuro niya.

"Ah. This?" Nakangisi kong inangat ang boteng hawak ko. "This is a glass bottle!" I answered cheerfully. I didn't know Max has this kind of stupidity.

"Yeah. I know, I mean──Fuck! Are you drunk? Ilan na nainom mo?" Kinakabahan nitong tanong. Silly! I'm not yet drunk. Konti pa lang nainom ko, eh!

"Just a little sip." Nakangiting sagot ko habang pinakita ang maikling pagitan ng aking dalawang daliri. And, I'm giggling again. Oh, damn. Bat' ba parang lahat ng bagay nakakatuwa ngayon?

"What the heck! You're already drunk!" Naghuhuramintadong sigaw nito. I gave him a narrowing look as my brows wrinkled.

"Hey! I am not yet drunk!" I whined. Bigla akong nawala sa mood at nagsisimula ng mairita. Ugh. My head is throbbing, too. I closed my eyes for a while, thinking that it will lessens the ache and my growing annoyance.
