Heartless Hannah (Completed)

4 Life and Pain

Muli kong ibinalik sa babae ang aking paningin. She's wearing the tightest black dress that hugs her hourglass body like second skin. I felt a tightening in my pants as I deliciously ogled her every curves. Her hair is sleek in a high ponytail. Showing off her sexy nape and bare shoulders. Her lips, although painted with lispstick, still looks full and red. I itched to have a taste. It's been almost two months since the last time I saw her but her effect on me didn't change a bit. She still makes me feel like a teenager with raging hormones I cannot control.

I think she felt my stares when she suddenly looked up. Our eyes met and my breath hitched at that unexpected eye contact. Napalunok ako. But as quickly as she looked up, she also was quick to take her eyes off me, without even a hint of recognizition in her eyes. I released my breath I didn't know I was holding and unexplainably annoyed being overlooked.

Fvck! Did she even remembers me?!

I was watching her the whole time.  She drinks her tequilla without any limes. She drank it straight from the glass and another shot follows. She drinks with the intention of getting dead drunk. I shook my head in disappointment and left. I walked towards my office without a second glance. That woman is a walking trouble.

I was engrossed with my own thoughts when Vinz entered my office looking pissed.

"Boss! Hindi ka pa ba uuwi?" Tanong ni Vins na ikinatingin ko sa aking relo. It's already five in the morning.

"Ah, yeah. Pauwi na din ako." Inaantok kong sagot sabay tayo na para maghandang umalis. Dahil sa kakaisip sa babaeng suicidal na 'yon ay di ko na namalayan ang oras at di na rin ako nakakuha ng babaeng iuuwi.

"Are we closed?" Naghihikab na tanong ko kay Vinz.

"Iyon nga boss eh, may maliit na problema. May babae kasing lasing na lasing sa baba, nagwawala. Walang dalang I.D, walang cellphone at mukhang walang dalang pambayad. Tatawag na ako ng pulis." Naiiling na ani Vinz na nagpatigil sa paghakbang ko. Pumipindot na si Vinz sa cellphone niya ng agawin ko iyon. Napakunot ang noo ni Vinz sa pagtataka.

Could it be her?

"Don't call the police yet. Where is she?" Madiing aniko kay Vinz na lalong nagpakunot ng noo niya. Hindi kasi ako masyadong nakikielam sa pamamalakad sa bar. Madalas si Vinz ang gumagawa at puro report lang ang iniintindi ko.

"Nasa may bar counter pa boss." Nagtatakang sagot ni Vinz kaya dali-dali akong bumaba para lang makumpirma ang hinala ko.

Naroon nga ang babae at lasing na lasing. Nakaupo ito at halos malapit ng pumikit ang mata nitong mapungay. Nakita kong pinipigilan ito ng bartender kong si Jimmy na inumin ang bote ng alak na hawak nito pero nakikipag-agawan ito at hinahawi si Jimmy.

"Jim, ako ng bahala sa kanya. Let her go." Madiin kong utos kay Jimmy na nakapaikot ang kamay sa bewang ng dalaga. Agad naman itong binitawan ni Jimmy kaya muntikan ng mahulog sa upuan ang dalaga. Inagaw ko ang bote ng alak sa kamay nito at ibinato iyon. Napabaling naman ang tingin ng babae sa akin sa ginawa ko.

She looks at me with that dead expression on her face, I don't know why my heart raced with that simple eye contact. And I couldn't breath properly. She got up and with wobbly legs, stood close to me, eyeing me with her tipsy eyes that made my forehead break a sweat. I'm trying real hard to return her challenging eyes with my own menacing stares.

"Gusto mong mamatay?!" She said in her drunk tone and I release my breath I didn't know I was holding.

What the actual fvck!

Pero bago pa ako makapagsalita ay nahimatay na sa kalasingan ang babae na agad ko namang sinapo. I can feel the erratic beating of my heart that only she can make as I hold her in my arms. Napa-iling ako habang pinapanood ang walang malay na dalaga. Napaka-amo na ng mukha nito dahil nakatago na ang mapanganib nitong mga tingin. She deeply sighed and I smelled her alcohol-stench breath. The alcohol didn't even masked her sweet familiar scent. I felt conscious of her body pressed to mine. Her skin felt so soft and smooth on my palm.

"Boss, kilala mo?" Ani Vinz na nagpagising sa pagkakatitig ko sa babae.

"Ah... Yeah, I know her. I'll take care of her, Vinz. Her tab is on me. Go ahead and close the bar." Nagmamadaling sagot ko habang inaayos ang pagbuhat ko sa babae. Agad ko din siyang dinala sa labas at isinakay sa kotse ko.

Pagkasakay ko sa driver seat ay pinagmasdan kong muli ang babaeng himbing na himbing na natutulog. She really is gorgeous, kaya lang nakaka-turn-off ang paglalasing nito ng walang pakundangan sa kahihinatnan ng kanyang sarili. Napapapalatak na pinaandar ko ang kotse at tinungo ang condo kung saan ako nakatira.

Why do I always have to save this mischievous suicidal girl?!
