His Pretty Mess (Editing)

CHAPTER 5 (Epic date)

ALAS SAIZ y media pa lamang ay nandoon na si Vince sa nasabing venue ng pagkikitaan nila ni Tricia, and it's none other than here in Infinity bar where he first met her.

Pasulyap-sulyap siya sa kanyang relo, na may konting pag-aalinlangan dahil baka hindi siya sipotin ni Tricia.

Iilan na rin ang lumapit sa kanya, nginingitian lamang niya ito at kung maaari ay iwasan niya. Hindi katulad ng dati, isang lapit lang ng babae at kapag natipuhan ni Vince ay hindi lang pagpapakilala ang umaabot sa kanila, minsan umaabot pa sa make-out, and then one-night-stand. And after that they will remain strangers, no commitment or anything. That was Vince's regular shinanigans.

Ewan ba niya, mula ng makita niya si Tricia tila nawalan na siya ng paningin sa ibang babae. He was like bewitched. And It's a weird feelings for him, he was such crazy overthinking about her every time, every hour and every minute.

Napakurap-kurap si Vince nang makitang papasok na si Tricia sa bar, tila nag-slow motion ang kanyang paningin kay Tricia na parang modelong rumarampa sa runway patungo sa kanya.

Binalot ng kasiyahan ang puso ni Vince ng makita niya ito. Napalunok pa siya habang titig na titig dito, and as usual napakaganda nito.

Wearing a black tight ripped jeans, paired with red sleeveless blouse revealing her belly, with high heels of course and persian red lipstick. Lalo tuloy kuminang ang mala-glamorosang ganda nito.

"Are you going to stare at me this whole night? Or I shall go home either?" Tricia said nang nakalapit ito kay Vince. They are now facing each other.

Napakurap-kurap si Vince. Then he cleared his throat, and smile. "I just can't help not to stare a beautiful lady like you." Pasimpleng banat nito.

Inirapan lamang ito ni Tricia. She sits on the high chair beside Vince, nasa harapan sila ng counter table.

"Drinks?" Pag-aya ni Vince.

Humarap si Tricia sa bartender. "Tequilla on the rocks with lime."

"Woah! That was hard!" Vince muttered.

Itinaas ni Tricia ang isa niyang kilay, sabay irap kay Vince.

"How about you Sir?" Tanong ng bartender.

"Just beer." He cooly said, sabay sulyap kay Tricia. "You're really fund of parties at the bar, right?"

"Of course! this is the only way I can hang out freely." Simpleng sagot niya, matapos nilang kunin ang kani-kanilang inumin nang iabot ito ng bartender.

Napatitig si Vince sa kanya na walang pag-aalinlangang ininom ang tequilla na halos mangalahati nalang sa kanyang wine glass. It was like a peice of cake for her to drink hard.

"Talagang sanay na sanay ka." He beam. "Who's the man you are with, on the first time we met here?"

"I don't know, just a stranger."

"Kaya pala muntik ka nang pagsamantalahan nun, ka-babaeng tao nakikipagsayaw sa kung kani-kanino." Vince lean on the counter.

"Well, you don't care. Kayo din namang mga lalaki ah? nakikipagharutan kayo sa kung sino-sinong babae kahit di niyo kilala."

He just smile after sipping his beer. "Shempre sino ba naman ang makakatanggi kapag nilapitan kana ng grasya."

Napailing-iling na lamang si Tricia. "Edi patas lang tayo."

Vince chuckled. "But we're different. Boys are always be boys."

"Yes. But that's not fair for us. Mambababae kayo pero kami, walang karapatang manlalaki?" Depensa naman ni Tricia.
