Where His Dream Began (Chasing Dreams Trilogy #1)

Simula

I was giggling with my friends when I stepped out of my red ferrari. Kagagaling lang namin sa pangatlong high end bar and now we're jumping to another one.

"That was fun!" Tawa ng isang kaibigan ko.

"Have you seen the reaction of those bitches when you got that hot guy? Oh my God! So funny!" It's Siobhan--one of my friends.

"Oo nga Aine. Now I believe in your magical charms. Nakukuha mo kahit sino." Si Kadence.

"Of course," I chuckled.

I have every girl's dream. I have the looks. I am rich. I am smart. I am sociable and I'm fun to be with. Sinong lalaki ang hindi magkakagusto sa akin? Wala. I have everything in life. Money and fame. I party a lot and I burn cash everyday aside from eight credit cards.

My parents can provide me everything that I want from head to toe so what more could I wish for?

My body begins to dance when the bass thumped in with my heart beat as if they were one. The music was as loud as thunder. Neon lights are everywhere like police sirens but much more colourful so I had no choice but to join the wild crowd.

"Aine! Don't you think it's too early to dance? Let's have some shot first! " Siobhan shouted.

"Nah. Enjoy yourselves guys and I'll enjoy myself here!" I shouted back and chuckled.

Naiiling na natatawa naman silang pumunta sa isa sa mga table na may mahahabang sofa.

I danced like crazy when my favorite party song was played. Papalit palit rin ako ng lalaking sinasayawan. If I find it too agressive then I'll jump to another.

Nang magsawa sa dancefloor ay tatawa tawa akong pumunta sa table namin.

I saw my other guy friends in school with their bunch of girls. Halos umikot ang mata ko nang makitang kung saan saan dumadapo ang mga kamay nila.

"One shot for the Queen Aine!" deklara ni Fraser sabay taas ng shot glass.

Tumawa ako at walang pag aalinlangang ininom nang diretso. Naghiyawan sila ng maibaba ko ang shot glass sa table. Pabagsak akong umupo sa tabi ni Cole Martin--one of my ex.

"Saan tayo later?" bulong nya.

Tumawa ako. "Walang tayo Cole."

He chuckled on my ear bago ako inabutan ng isa pang shot.

"I know right. I just wonder if we could... you know.. let out some steam?" Kibit balikat niya.

Tumawa uli ako nilaklak ang iniabot niyang shot ng vodka.

I've kissed men but I have limits. And I don't go beyond it. I always refuse if they want the highest level of intimacy. Maybe I'm not yet ready? And besides I'm just eighteen.

Napapikit ako nang manuot sa lalamunan ko ang matapang na alak.

"You know I don't do that stuff." Tumawa ako bago sumipsip sa lemon.

"As expected." Ngisi niya bago bumaling sa babaeng katabi niya.

Cole is a nice guy. Hindi nga lang kami nagtagal dahil pareho kaming madaling magsawa. At isa pa, I don't do serious relationships. Wala sa bokabularyo ko 'yan.

"Aine, do you know this Zyan guy? From AU? He's quite popular. Lalo na sa social media," wika ni Yara.

"Why? Do you want his number?" tanong ko habang pinaglalaruan ang cocktail drink na hawak.
