Baby 8

Kailangan kong panindigan ito.

"Gusto ko lang naman kasing makalimot..." sabi ko with matching sad face pa.

"F*ck! Broken hearted ka ba?" tanong nya na parang hindi makapaniwala.

Dahan-dahan akong tumango na hindi tumitingin sa kanya.

Pilit kong kinalas yung kamay nya sa bewang ko.

I ordered two more shots of tequila just to prove my point.

Pero tiningnan nya ng masama ang bartender.

"Hindi na sya iinom! Ako na magbabayad ng mga ininom nya, just put it on my tab."

"Wait! I'm not yet drunk!"

"That's it! I'm taking you home Ms. Enriquez!"

Nagulat ako ng bigla nya akong buhatin.

Napakapit ako sa batok nya.

Hindi ko sinasadyang amuyin ang leeg nya.

Hindi ko talaga sinadya.

Swear!

His scent is so manly and intoxicating.

I stopped myself from sniffing his neck.

I tried to protest syempre kunwari ayaw ko.

"Put me down Mr. Barton! Kaya ko ang sarili ko!"

Mas lalo nyang hinigpitan ang kapit sa bewang ko.

"No."

Yun lang ang sinabi nya sabay lakad palabas ng bar.

Yes!

Sabi ng isip ko.

My plan seems to be working.

Binaba nya lang ako nung nasa kotse na kami.

He carefully put me on the passenger seat and buckled my belt.

Then he climbed on the driver's side.

I continue my act.

Before this day is over he will agree to my plan.

Hindi nya pa agad pinaandar yung kotse.

I can feel that he wants to ask me something.

Pasimple akong humikbi.

Just enough to get his attention.

"Are you crying Ms. Enriquez?"

He tried to make me look at him.

Pero syempre umiwas ako kunwari.

Umiling ako.

Sabay hikbi.

"F*ck!" ulit-ulit nyang sabi with matching hampas sa manibela.

OA ng reaction nya samantalang sya rin naman maraming babae ng pinaiyak!

He gripped the wheel.

"Whoever that ba§tard is doesn't deserve you or your tears!"

Inabot nya sa akin yung panyo nya.

Tinanggap ko yung panyo sabay punas ng luha ko.

He started driving.

Hinawakan ko ang braso nya.

"Ayoko pang umuwi, ayokong makita ako nila mamu ng ganito ako!" pakiusap ko sa kanya.

Bumuntong-hininga sya.

"Magchecheck-in na lang muna ako sa malapit na hotel."

Umiling sya.

Drunk & desperate mode on.

"Shige na pleash...ayoko pang umuwi..." sabay hikbi ulit.

Tumingin sya sa akin.

I can't read his expression.

"I won't let you check in to a hotel by yourself in that state baka mapano ka pa."

Yes!

"I'm taking you to my house."

Double yes!
