Heartbreak Hotline [ON GOING]

Chapter XLVI - Moved on

Nang makarating na kami din ay bumitaw ako agad sa kamay n'ya at lumapit na kela Mary at Harmony. God, this is so awkward! Why is this awkward?

"Nyare sayo 'te? Para kang kamatis dyan." Puna sakin ni Mary at nagpatuloy na sila ni Harmony sa paghaharutan. Para akong kamatis? Am I blushing? God, did Caleb saw me blushing?! Argh, so embarrassing! Baka isipin n'ya may feelings pa ko sakanya! Nako, assumero s'ya ang kapal ng mukha n'ya!

Habang tahimik akong nakababad sa beach ay napasulyap ako sa tatlong lalaking kasama namin na seryosong nag-uusap-usap. Ano kayan pinag-uusapan nila?

"Brianna, Brianna!" Napalingon ako nang tawagin ako ni Harmony sa may di kalayuan. Mukha silang excited dalawa ni Mary. Umahon ako at sinuot ang cover-up ko at naglakad palapit sakanila.

Madilim na, malamang dahil around 7:30 PM na yata.

"Look over there!" Ani Mary at tumuro sa kawalan. Sinundan ko ang tinuturo n'ya at nakita ko ang iba't ibang kulay ng ilaw, which I think are party lights or something.

"Are you excited, badass? It's a beach club! Tara puntahan natin!" Ani Harmony at hinila na kami ni Mary papunta do'n.

"Wait, what about the boys?" Tanong ko at sumulyap ulit sa tatlong lalaki.

"Oh, they're not kids, Brynn. They can handle theirselves. Plus, there's a lot of girls here. They can entertain theirselves." She said and giggled but I did not find that funny at all. "What? Okay, sorry. Pero... Don't you think we need this time to have fun? You know.. Girls gotta have some fun too. Let's go to that beach club and party until it's midnight!" Aniya at tumawa ng malakas at hinila ulit kami papunta dun, hindi ako nagpapigil dahil tama s'ya. Since bumalik si Caleb dito, hindi na ako nakakapagparty sa club. I used to do it a lot with Regina.

Pagkadating namin do'n ay sumalubong agad sa'min ang maingay na tugtog at colorful disco light. Yun lang ang nagsisilbing ilaw namin dito sa madilim na gabi.

Party in the beach isn't bad. Parang normal na club lang s'ya, except everyone is in their swimwears. Mukhang kakagaling lang sa beach.

"So let's divide and conquer." I said at humiwalay na ng landas sakanila.

Inikot ko lang ang buong club dahil hindi naman ito kalakihan when a man approached me.

"Hi." Aniya ngunit hindi ko s'ya pinansin. "So.. Can I get you a drink or something?" Sambit n'ya ulit. Tumingin ako ng diretso sakanya and I felt a little bit of pain in my heart.

His thin red lips, black messy hair, the dimples in his cheek everytime he smile... He... He somehow looks like... T-Travis. I close my eyes for a moment as I remembered that sweet boy.

"Miss? You okay?" Tanong n'ya at hinawakan ako sa braso.

"Y-Yeah. Actually, I think I do need a drink."

He held my hands and lead me to a table. He sat in front of me as I got my beer. Diretso kong ininom ang isang shot glass at matapos no'n ay kumuha ako ng isa pa at ininom ulit. After that, drank another glass again. And again. And again. "Woah, miss, easy.." Aniya.
