2:15 am Friday

She came again to the store. Drunk and feisty. Zhaira opened the glass door wide as if she meant to break it.

"Kape! Kape! Tabe!!!!"

She commanded and pushed those who are in front of the line.

"Miss, nauna naman kami dito"

"Pakeko?! Gusto ko ng kape"

The customers begin to be irritated as they whisper about the drunk chick.

"Miss wag mo dalin dito kalasingan mo. Nakaka-abala ka ng ibang customer oh"

"Ah ganon! Baket? Sino ka? Ikaw may-arineto ha!"

She pointed her finger at the man who rebuked her.

The customers started to rant when Zachary intervened.

"Ah mga sir mga madame pasensya na po kayo medyo nakainon lang pero harmless naman po"

"Yan, yan pag-tanggol mo ako dali!"

She pat Zachary on his shoulders.

"Kilalamo tong lansengana to?"

"Naku hindipo!"

"Putek ka Zach!"

She looked at Zachary with full of angst.

"Customer lang din po. Pasenyanapo kayo. Ako napo kukuha ng kape para sa inyo"

"Pasalamat ka mabait tong si Zach"

"Etomabait? pfft"

She was about to vomit while her finger still points at Zach.

"Huy!!!! Duon ka sa labas"

Shouted by the customers.

"Jok lang jok lang."

She helped her way to the corner and sat helpless.

Zachary just watched her almost crawled her way to the corner.

"You are helpless you know that?"

"Aba hoy! Wag mo akong titigan lang. Kuhaan mo rin ako ng kape! Pagsilbihan mo ako dali!"

"Telege teng bebeeng te"

Zach murmoured as he fake a smile to calm the mood for everyone.

After an hour. Zachary noticed that Zhaira is still lying her face flat on the table and her coffee is getting cold and untouched.

"Tsk. Gumawa na ng eksena dahil sa kape, hindi naman pala gagalawin"

Shaking his head as he slowly walks towards her and forcefully tapped the table.

BAAAAAAGGG!

"Ha!!!! ANO?!!!! ANONG MERON? RAUL!?"

Zhaira rose up quickly, astound by the sound.

"Aray!!!! ang sakit ng ulo ko!"

She reached for her coffee and sip.

"Shit. Lumamigna. Ahm... pwede bang ipa-heater ito?"

The customer and staff who heard it laugh at her craziness.

Zachary sat across and leaned his arms on the table.

"Lasing ka pa nga"

Zhaira looked at him and confused.

"Anonanaman?"

Zachary looked at her in silence for a few more seconds.

"ANO BA!"

He leaned back and crossed his arms.

"Sinusundan mo ba ako?"

Zhaira stopped brushing her hair. Her Eyebrow raised when she heard Zachary's assumptions.

"EXCUSE ME!?"
