The Perks of Loving a Faust (Perks Series #1)

6

The night seemed so calm but weーEnero and others, were as wild as animals or maybe I should say that they were wild as animals. As what they planned, they dragged me with their so called over night in Septimus' house.

Nasa business trip ang mga magulang ni Septimus at isang linggo daw itong wala. Leaving Septimus here alone in their house, ready for party, and open for night gigs.

I sighed as I looked at them. They were currently having their non-so-boring dare-or-dare game. Kung sino mang matapatan ng bunganga ng bote ang siyang gagawa ng dare habang ang matapatan naman ng kabila ay siyang mag-uutos. Kapag hindi mo kayang gawin ang dare, iinumin mo yung shot na ibibigay nila sayo.

Well, this is somehow a game to get drunk. Mabuti na lang at maswerte ako ngayon at hindi ako natatapatan ng bote or else kawawa talaga ako.

I don't want to have another hangover by the next morning. And not to tell na dare or dare ang tawag nila sa larong 'to. I mean, what is the difference between dare and dare? Naglaro pa sila kung wala naman silang pwedeng piliin kung hindi ang dare.

They're topless, exposing their abs on my face. I'm used into it so I don't mind at all. Well, except for Septimus who still wear his tee-shirt.

I bit my lip as I stare on them. Who's childish enough to play such games like this instead of watching a movie or somewhat? I mean, if this is what they do everytime that they do the over night, well then I have to remind myself not to come next time.

Mabuti sana kung simpleng dare lang ang pinapagawa nila ang kaso lang ay, knowing the rules that boys are boys, all dares are gross.

How I wished na hindi na lang nila ako sinama dahil hindi naman ako nag-eenjoy, sila lang ang natutuwa sa sarili nilang kagaguhan. But what can I do? Sinama lang naman nila ako, tapos ako pa 'tong magrereklamo.

"At last!" sigaw ni Sevyn kaya naman napatingin ako dito. Narinig ko naman ang hiyawan nila Devon at kalawang.

"Not so lucky Pasensya," at first, I don't know what they were talking about, pero nang ibaba ko ang tingin ko sa bote ay nakatapat sa'kin ang bunganga nito. Nang tignan ko kung kanino nakatapat ang kabilang dulo ay nakatapat 'yon kay Septimus.

Unlike me, suki ng dare si Septimus. But, he did nothing but to drink every shot that they gave. In short, hindi niya ginagawa yung mga dare na pinapagawa sa kanya.

"Akala ko hindi ka na matatapatam eh," mapang-asar na sabi ni kalawang sa'kin kaya naman sinamaan ko siya ng tingin.

Kanina lang iniisip ko na maswerte ako ngayong gabi at hindi ako natatapatan ng bote, pero binabawi ko na. Malas ako! As in, MALAS.

Natapatan na nga ako ng bote tapos si Septimus pa ang mag-uutos sa'kin. Kinakabahan tuloy ako, baka mamaya kung ano ang iutos niya sa'kin or what.

"So what's my dare?" I see him smirk at me and I don't know on what he's planning on his mind.

"Slap me. No, punch me." agad na nanlaki ang mata ko sa sinabi niya.

"What the fuck?! What kind of dare is . . . that?" as gulat ko ay hindi ko na namalayang nagmura na pala ako. Nang mapagtanto ko ang sinabi ko ay agad akong napahawak sa bibig ko. Damn, why are you so careless Patience?!

"Wait, nagbago na ang isip ko," seryoso niyang sabi sa'kin bago siya ngumisi. Pakiramdam ko'y hindi maganda ang ngisi niyang 'yon. "I want you to stay still and let me do one thing..."

Since nakapabilog naman kami habang naka-upo sa sala nila ay mabilis lang para sa kanya na pumunta sa harap ko. I don't know what to do but I know that he's going to kiss me right in front of my two older brothers.
