3rd person's

She looked around the café as she took a small sip on her coffee. She's waiting for someone. She flinched a bit when she felt her phone vibrate a bit.

"I'm outside"

Her head automatically turned towards the café's doorway to se a tall guy walking towards it. A smile slowly crept on her lips as she saw him smiling at her when he opened the door.

"Here!" She said cheerfully waving her hand.

"Sorry, I'm a bit late." He said to her scratching his nape, obviously embarrassed. "Oh, it's okay! Di pa naman ako gaanong katagal dito." Said she. The guy sat across her. The waiter went beside him to get his order. "I'll have a cappuccino please." The waiter nodded then left.

"So..." they both said in chorus. She giggled. "You're cute." He whispered, obviously unaware of what he said. "W-what?" Stuttering, she asked. "Oh, did I just really say it aloud?" He said chuckling. "Pero, you really are cute." That made her blush.

"Fuck!" She cursed in pain when her phone suddenly fell on her face. "God damn it! Why does this always happen!" She whined as she massaged her forehead that is now turning red. Her phone that just fell on her face suddenly rang. "What?!" She shouted. "What the heck is wrong with you?!" A girl on the other line shouted back. "Ah, ikaw lang pala. I thought it was that guy again." She said rolling her eyes. "Can you remind me who that is? Ang dami mo kasing ex!" She laughed knowing that her best friend just rolled her eyes. "Rebound." She just simply said. "Oh!" Her best friend replied. "Why'd you call by the way?" She asked her. "That Bitch is crying over that guy again. She wants to drink." She rolled my eyes. "Where and when?" "The usual." She stood up then headed to her closet. "Be there at 8. You're always late." Her friend just giggled then dropped the call. "What should we wear?" She whispered to herself.

Cassiel's

I walked towards the two girls that I am about to meet today. One's already chugging a bottle of beer. That's to be expected.

"Bitch, here!" My best friend Primrose called for me when she saw me. I nodded then walked over to their place.

"How many beers did she have? Ayoko mag alaga ngayon." I said leaning on the counter. I signaled the bartender to give me my usual order, gin, so he did. "She came early so she probably had three." I rolled my eyes. "To my surprise you came real early." She just rolled her eyes. "Obviously, this cunt would come here earlier than you! She wants to get wasted!" Ah, she's right. I shrugged my shoulders then took my shot. "She looks wasted na for me." I smirked. "Hey, is there any tables available right now?" I asked the bartender. "Yes, ma'am. I'll lead you to the table if you'd want to." I smirked. "Good. And bring a tower to the table. Make it stronger." He nodded then wrote the order to a note and gave it to the other staffs. He then proceeded to lead us to the table.

"Who's that guy again?" I asked I asked Primrose. "Cliff." I nodded. "Here's your order ma'am." Said the waiters as they put a tower of liquor and some finger foods in-front of us. "Isn't this way too much?" Braille asked. "Finally you talked." I rolled my eyes. She finally stopped crying! "Konti pa nga lang to e." I said. When she tried to grab a glass I slapped her hand. "You will only have a drink after you freaking retouch that face!" I said that made her pout. "No pouting! Go you look like a mess!" Then she stood up to go to the restroom.

I filled my glass with the liquor not even putting some ice on the glass. It's still cold anyways. "You want to get wasted." Primrose whispered. I nodded. "Why?" She asked. "I just feel like doing so." I smiled. She only looked at me, waiting for an answer. She knows me too well. I drank all of the content of my glass. "He found a girl that could finally make him..." I clicked my tongue on the roof of my mouth. "Nevermind." Again, I filled my glass with liquor. Now, liquid almost reached the rim. Without even having any second thoughts, I drank it all. Bottoms up! "God, its so strong!" Primrose whined when she tried it. "Ye, I told them to make it strong." I shrugged. "You'll have fun." I gave her a smirk.

After five glasses of liquor and three for Primrose, Braille finally came back looking a lot more decent than how she looked earlier. "Hey! Ang dami niyo nang nainom!" I shrugged. "Ang tagal mo e!" I told her. She pouted then sat right beside me. We started to have chitchats about boys and the people that we do not like till we finished the tower. Primrose is now with Braille helping her in the toilet. Ye, she's puking hard. I went back to the counter after doing some retouches to grab something to drink. "One Bloody Mary." I said then the bartender proceeded go make me one. "Bloody Mary." A familiar baritone voice from behind me said to the other bartender behind the counter. "Here you go, Miss." The bartender handed me the drink and I stared at it for a while.

I snapped back go reality when I felt my phone vibrate. "Hey, Prim." I answered. "We're back on the table na. Can you get us something to drink here?~" I rolled my eyes. Both of them are obviously drunk and they're still asking for another drink?! "Fine, fine! Just make sure that both of you'll get home safe!" I heard her say yes while giggling before dropping the call. "Excuse me. Can you please bring a bucket of beer to table five?" I asked the staff that's currently near me. "Sure ma'am." He said then winked. Ugh! Wtf?! Out of annoyance, I took a sip from my drink.

"Hey, Baby~" a flirty female voice said to the guy beside me. I'm still trying to remember where I heard that voice. "I'm gay." Oh, a lame excuse huh? "Tsk." The girl clicked her tongue to the roof of her mouth then stomped away. I chugged the contents of my glass then stood up to go back to our table. "Leaving already?" The guy said without even trying to look at me. "Ye." I didn't bother to look at him either. I walked straight towards our table to check on the two girls I'm with.

"Hey— Who's this guy?" I asked Primrose while pointing at the guy Braille is kissing. They're freaking kissing! "She just met him and He's Alex." I rolled my eyes. "And your boyfriend is here to." I said while raising a brow. She just gave me a smile. Ye, slap it to my face na I'm single! "Fine! I'll stay sa counter. You guys pay for those beers I'll pay the towers." They nodded. I went back to the counter to grab another drink. The guy earlier ain't here anymore. I grabbed the neck of my beer the started to drink it.

I stared at the people dancing on the dance floor. The mood changed when the DJ changed the song into a slow one. Ah, this... I closed my eyes as I listened to the intro of the song.

"I wanna lay down by the fire with you."

Eyes closed, I took another drink from my beer.

"Where souls are glowing ever warmer too."

I feel tipsy—no. I am tipsy.

"Your love surrounds me like a lullaby."

I remembered the voice.

"Singing softly, you are mine. Oh, mine."

Ah, now I know why it sounded familiar.

"Moon has never glowed this color."

I smiled. I probably look like a damn fool right now.

"Hearts were never been this close."

I opened my eyes.

"I have never been more certain."

Fuck.

"I will love you till we're older."

"You really love this song huh?" I froze.

"Maybe the night holds little hope for us, Dear."

"What are you doing here?" I asked him. I then heard him chuckle.

"Maybe we might want to settle down, just be near. Stay together here."

"Hindi naman siguro bawal na magpakasaya din ako?" Said he. Now I remember why I hate this guy.
