STEPH'S POV

"One tequila for the beautiful and stunning lady in front of me." The bartender said smiling as he placed the tequila down. Agad ko iyong kinuha at pinaglaruan ang laman niyon.

Beautiful and stunning? That's what everyone is saying about me.

I am Stephanie Dela Vega. A lady with beauty and brains, admired for having a gorgeous face and sexy body that every girl wants to be in my shoes, well except for the fact that I still have to work my ass off to support myself financially. But nonetheless, they always say that I am an ideal woman. No, I'm not being boastful here or whatsoever, I just learned how to appreciate myself for who I am. Self-love ika nga.

I am every man's desire but that's what I thought BEFORE. Not until my "loving" boyfriend, no scratch that, my EX-BOYFRIEND that was supposedly my soon-to-be-husband didn't show up in our wedding earlier.

I smiled bitterly and straightly drank the tequila in front of me and looked around. People are enjoying themselves and dancing wildly at the dance floor like there's no tomorrow. Ah, I envy them.

"Another, please." I said to the bartender and after a while, he immediately placed my drinks on the table.

Hindi ko alam kung naka-ilang shot na ako pero wala akong pakialam. Gusto ko lang namang mamanhid. Gusto kong mawala ang sakit na nararamdaman ko ngayon.

They said alcohols are expert on this and I'm completely depending my life unto it.

I love Tristan. He was my boyfriend for almost 6 years and I thought, siya na talaga. We were about to get married today, but sadly, he didn't come. He left me hanging.

Have you ever experienced planning your future with the man you love and yet sa isang iglap nasira ang lahat? I smiled sadly. Look at you Stephanie, you are already wasted.

D*mn you Tristan for making me feel this way. D*mn you bastard.

I took another shot. Bottoms up.

Then suddenly, I felt the hot liquid flowing again in my cheeks. Why did you have to do this to me Tristan? What's wrong with me?

I thought everything was perfect. I just thought it was.

"Curse the person who is making you cry right now." Napalingon ako sa tabi ko and there, I saw a guy looking straight at me.

Umiwas ako ng tingin dahil hindi ko naman siya kilala. I wiped my tears and didn't bother to talk to him.

"Mind telling me the reason why an angel like you is here at this kind of place?" He said trying to sound sexy. But I am not here to flirt.

"It's none of your business." Pagtataray ko at inirapan siya.

I heard him chuckle. "One Martini." He said to the bartender at agad namang tumalima ang huli.

Few minutes passed. Hindi ko na mabilang kung nakailang shots na ako dahil nakakaramdam na ako ng hilo.

"Tell me, am I beautiful?" I suddenly asked him. I am hiccuping uncontrollably.

Nakita ko sa peripheral vision ko na nakatingin siya sa akin. I suddenly want to throw up. Sobrang lasing na nga yata ako.

"Nevermi-" akma kong babawiin ang tanong ko sa kanya pero agad siyang nagsalita.

"No."

Nagulat ako at napalingon sa lalaking katabi ko. Hindi ko sinasadyang mapatingin na naman sa mata niya. Nakatingin lang siya ng diretso sa mga mata ko. Gwapo siya oo, pero hindi ko tipo, walang spark, walang connection. But I feel comfortable with him. Yung feeling na parang matagal ko na siyang kilala.

"You're not beautiful because the word beautiful is an understatement. Not even gorgeous. I actually can't describe how perfect you are"

Umiwas ako ng tingin at ramdam kong bahagyang nag init ang pisngi ko. Probably because of alcohol but definitely not because I am attracted to this man. Again, he's not my type.

"T-Then why did he left me?" mahina kong sabi kasabay ng pagtulo na naman ng mga luha ko. I was surprised I was able to open up to him.

"He's a bastard for leaving you behind. He doesn't know what he lost."

Pinaglaruan ko ang natitirang tequila sa baso ko saka diretsong ininom.

"I love him and yet he broke my heart." I smiled bitterly while my tears are falling nonstop. "T-This day...This day was supposed to be the happiest day in my life but he ruined it..Hindi siya sumipot sa kasal namin. I don't know his reason why he did this. I don't know what I have done wrong." And then I remember how happy I was kanina habang inaayusan ako and how excited I was nung nasa kotse na ako. Pero para akong nasabugan ng bomba nung malaman ko na hindi sisipot si Tristan.

I waited. I waited for one whole day hoping na darating siya.

I was crying really hard. It was like someone poured salt on my already aching heart. Ganun kasakit.

I still remember how people at the church look at the direction of my bridal car with pity in their eyes. Hanggang sa unti unti na silang nagsisialisan.

"He is not the one Angel, believe me. You will meet someone that will love you unconditionally. Malay mo nasa tabi tabi lang siya." He said mysteriously.

Yumuko ako at pinahid ang luhang lumalabas sa mata ko pero ayaw niya talagang tumigil.

"E-Excuse me." Tumayo ako para pumunta sa comfort room at doon ibuhos lahat ng sakit nararamdaman ko. I don't want other people to see me like this. Lumiko ako papuntang cr ng bigla akong nakaramdam ng matinding hilo. And then suddenly, I felt two strong arms encircled on my waist preventing me from falling down on the floor.

Nag-angat ako ng tingin pero hindi ko masyadong makita ang itsura ng lalaki dahil sa paiba ibang kulay ng ilaw. But his hands are gripping me tightly. Napahawak ako sa dibdib nya sa sobrang pagkabigla.

Hinapit nito ang bewang ko palapit sa kanya. Parang biglang nag init ang aking pakiramdam. Umiikot na din ang paningin ko.

"Be careful." He said without any trace of emotion. I can feel the warmth of his breath na tumatama sa mukha ko. He's too close, too intoxicating. Nakatingin lang ako sa mata niya pero hindi siya nakatingin sa mata ko, kundi sa labi ko at naramdaman ko na lang na humihigpit ang pagkakayakap niya sa akin.

The next thing I know, his lips are already on my lips, invading my mouth. I can taste the alcohol on his lips. He's kissing me passionately. I've never been kissed like this before by Tristan.

Oh my God. I don't know what the hell is happening. My mind is protesting and telling me to push him away but my body is telling me the other way around.

Hindi ko alam kung dahil ba to sa epekto ng alak dahil hindi ko mapigilan ang sarili ko na tumugon sa halik niya.

Medyo nabigla yata siya sa pagtugon ko dahil napatigil siya pero agad ding nakabawi and he kissed me again. Nakakahilo, nakakalunod.

His other hand is already on its way to my legs while the other is still on my waist. I encircled my hands on his neck and pulled him closer making the kiss deeper ignoring the people who were watching us.

Maya-maya ay humiwalay ang mga labi niya sakin at pumunta sa may puno ng tenga ko. He bit my earlobe which made me moan. "I think we should go somewhere private, sweetheart." He whispered in a husky and very cold voice.

I don't know what's going on but I found myself making my way out of the bar, WITH HIM.
