"Hmm.."
Hinimas ko ang yakap kong unan and it feels like a human skin. Unti-unti kong dinilat ang mata ko at medyo blurry ang paningin ko, hindi dahil sa muta kundi dahil malabo na ang mata ko. Speaking of which, where's my glasses? Nakapa ko yun sa side table at agad na sinuot, and there, I saw a green hair guy with a black shadow under his eyes sleeping beside me. Agad akong napasigaw nang mamukhaan ko siya na naging dahilan para magising siya. Napasigaw din sya at napatayo sa kama nang makita ako.
"What.. What.."
He stuttered while pointing his finger at me. Mind you, he's only wearing boxers. When I realized that, I screamed again and looked under the blanket. I am freakin' naked that made me screamed again.
"Can you stop screaming? Ang sakit sa tenga eh."
He said irritatingly at lumabas na. It's my freakin' ex boyfriend. How did I get here and why did I agree on having..
"Shit. Let this be a dream. Please. Please. Let this be a dream."
Sinampal ko ang sarili nagbabaka sakaling panaginip lang 'to. Sana nga panaginip lang. Pero hindi. I'm still naked and we did it. Damn it! Nagmadali akong magbihis at lumabas na. Paglabas ko ng kwarto ay bumungad sa akin ang napakaraming kalat. The red cups are all over the place. May spilled drink, yung mga photo frames ay nakatigilid na, nakakalat din yung chips, and the chairs were not in their right places. In short, this house is a mess.
"Could you come here and explain what happened?"
Nakatalikod siya at may kausap sa phone. He sounded curious and frustrated at the same time. But why do I care? Umiling ako at dahan-dahang naglakad para sana tumakas.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Kunot noo niyang tingin sa akin. Napatigil ako sa paglalakad at humarap sa kanya. Did he recognized me? Sana hindi.
"Uhm.. Home?"
Umiling siya at tinitigan ako ng masama.
"You're not going home."
He said firmly. Who gave him the right to say that? Bossy na siya ngayon unlike dati.
"Because?"
Taas kilay kong tanong. Right, Julie. Don't be intimidated. Chin up and let him know who's the boss.
"You're going to help me clean up."
I laughed sarcastically.
"You've got to be kidding me."
"You wish."
Sabi niya at naglakad paakyat sa kwarto kung saan kami.. Damn it! I let out a sound of frustration. Umupo ako at pinilit alalahanin ang nangyari.
I remember going to the party with my best friend, Maqui. Inaya niya ako to have fun because Gino left her and coincidentally, our new neighbor threw a costume party. Then, madaming tao as usual. I remembered us dancing through Alan Walker's Faded while holding a red cup. We laughed, smiled, drank and.. My recalling was stopped by a creature who sat down beside me. He is a blonde american and judging by his appearance, he's a certified fuck boy. He placed his arms around me and wiped my chin through his thumb. Maybe my lipstick was smudged. Nakakahiya.
"Hey there Harley Quinn with glasses. How's joker in bed?"
He laughed and winked at me. Before I answered, someone coughed that got our attention. Automatic kong tinanggal ang akbay ng di ko kilalang lalaki nang makita siya. Siya siguro yung kausap ni Elmo kanina sa phone. Tumayo siya at sinalubong ng fist bump si Elmo.
