Us against the World - TOTGA Book 2

Chapter 8 - TOTGA

Claire's POV

Isang linggo na ang nakalipas nung umuwi sila Kuya.

Papunta ulit ako sa Club dahil nagyaya na naman sila Zoe. Ewan ko ba sa kanila kung bakit gusto pa nila ko isama. Sabi daw nila hindi daw sila pupunta kung hindi ako pupunta.

Kaya ayun, na-guilty naman ako, kaya napilitan akong pumunta sa club na pinuntahan namin last week.

I'm wearing fitted jeans and black lace cami top paired with red stiletto. I just let down my long wavy hair.

When I arrived at the club, they were all here. Of course, I was the last one to arrive because I'm not as excited as them.

"Hindi ba sinabi ko sayong mag long sleeve ka!" Sabi ni Zoe sakin nung nakaupo na ko sa tabi niya.

"Long sleeve ang init init!" Tugon ko at kinuha ko boteng nasa harapan ko at nilagok ito.

"Kaya hindi kami nilalapitan dahil sayo eh!" Sabay sabay pa nilang sabi at napailing-iling.

"Tsk." Nilagok ko ulit ang alak sa bote.

"Oh my gosh. Tell me I'm just hallucinating." Lahat kami ay napatingin kay Zoe. Nakatingin siya sa kabilang side kaya lahat kami ay napalingon kung saan siya nakatingin.

Agad nanlaki ang mga mata ko nung makita sila Zac! What the f*ck!? Why are they here!? Sa dirami rami ng araw ngayon pa talaga sila magcl-club!? At dito nanaman!?

"Pagminamalas ka nga naman oo!" Sabi ni Sop at ininom lahat ng alak sa baso niya.

Nag-iwas ako ng tingin at inubos din ang alak sa bote.

"Gawin nalang natin ang ginawa natin last week. Ignore them." Sabi ni Mina.

"But did we ignore them?" We all looked at Sophia. "I won't deny it but Ivan and I keep secretly glancing at each other. Most of the time we made eye contact." She continued.

"To tell you the truth, me too," Mina said.

"So we can't ignore them?" Sabi naman ni Zoe. "Let's just have fun then even though we can't ignore them. Cheers!" Tinaas niya ang baso niya. Kumuha naman ako ng baso at nilagyan yun ng alak saka nakipag-tossed.

We were just having fun all night. Sometimes I noticed them glancing on the other side. I want to look at him too but I'm scared. Hindi ko rin kayang tignan siya ng matagal. Siguro pag lasing ako, kumakapal ang mukha ko.

Maya maya pa nagyaya si Zoe sumayaw. Humindi naman ako dahil nahihilo na ko. Ang dami ko kayang nainom at naubos na bote.

"Hey." Napaangat ang tingin ko sa lalaking nasa harapan ko. "Mind if I join you?" He asked, politely.

"Go away." Tugon ko. Tumabi naman siya sakin at ang bilis ni Kuya ha, inakbayan agad ako!?

"Why are you alone here?" He asked. Napakunot ang noo ko nung naramdaman ang kamay niya sa hita ko.

Pervert

"Because I want to be alone. Now get lost because I'm not interested in you." I replied and coldly stared at him.

"Oh, feisty. I like it." He smirked and moved his hand on top of my tight.

"Ano ba!" Sigaw ko at tinulak siya. Tumayo ako at mag lalakad na sana paalis dun dahil nasusuka na ko pero may humawak sa palapulsunan ko. Nilingon ko kung sino yun at ang lalaking bastos na naman.

"Ano ba bitawan mo nga ko!" Mas lalo kong nilakasan ang sigaw ko. Some people whispering and watching us.

"Wag ka na magpakipot. I know what a girl like you wants." Nakangisi niyang sabi.

"Ah ganun? So I guess you're expecting this." Nakangisi kong tugon at sinampal siya.

People gasped, can't believe what happened.Hinarap ako ng lalaki galit na galit at hindi ko inaasahang sasampalin niya ko.I lost balance at napaupo sa sahig. Pag hindi ako makapag timpi sasaktan ko na talaga to!

"How dare—-" hindi naituloy ang sasabihin ng lalaki dahil may sumuntok sa kanya. Napatingin naman ako sa lalaking sumuntok sa kanya at nagulat nung si Zac yun.

"Umalis na kayo, kami na ang bahala dito." Napatingin ako kay Dom.

He looked at me and smiled a little bago siya tumalikod at pumunta sa lalaki. Napako ang tingin ko sa lalaki kaya hindi ko na malayang hinila na pala ako ni Zac patayo at palayo dun.

I stopped walking kaya tumigil din si Zac at nilingon ako ng walang emotion. Binawi ko ang kamay ko at tumakbo ako papunta sa CR. Hindi ko na talaga kaya, nasusuka na ko.

I opened the door sa washroom at tumambad sakin ang isang lalaking naghuhugas.

"Oh shit!" Sabi niya.

Hindi ko na siya pinansin at nagsuka na sa inidoro.

"Miss this is the boy's washroom." Sabi niya pero hindi ko ulit siya pinansin.

"Get out." Rinig ko ang boses ni Zac sa labas ng washroom. Nakita ko naman sa gilid ng mata ko na lumabas anv lalaki. I heard the door closed.

"Blarrggghh." Sumuka ulit ako. Naisuka ko na ata lahat ng nainom ko! Sayang naman yung pera!

Nung tapos na kong sumuka, inabot ko ang flash at flinash ang suka ko. I was out of breath kaya hindi agad ako nakatayo.

"Get up." Naramdaman ko ang mga kamay niya sa braso ko at tinulungan niya kong tumayo.

Inalalayan niya naman ako papunta sa sink. Nagmumug ako at naghilamos. I even gargled a mouth wash para hindi amoy suka ang bunganga ko.

Inaalalayan ako ngayon ni Zac palabas. Nakasandal ako konti sa kanya kaya amoy ko ang pabango niya. The smell of him really makes my heart skip a beat. The way our skin touches gives me electricity through my body.

"That's my car, right there!" Sabi ko sabay turo sa sasakyan ko.

"Can someone pick you up?" He asked. Even his voice...I miss his voice. I looked at him, our faces are so close to each other.

Bumaba ang tingin ko sa labi niya. Those lips. I missed those lips. I looked at him in the eyes, nahuli ko siyang nakatingin din sa labi ko. When our eyes met again nag-iwas na ko ng tingin at tumayo ng maayos.

"No one." bulong ko tsaka naglakad papunta sa sasakyan ko.

"I can't let you drive." He said at hinarang ako.

"I can still drive." tugon ko at walang emosyon na tumingin sa mga mata niya.

His expression is still emotionless. I wonder what he's thinking of...Sometimes, I wish I could read his mind. But then I wonder if I could handle the truth.

If I read his mind, would I be happy because I know what he's thinking? Would I be sad because I can read what his feelings are? Would I be hurt because I can see that he doesn't love me anymore?

Yes. I have no right to feel this way because in the first place I was the one who broke up with him. I'm so stupid to let him go, even though I know this will lead to regret. I'm so stupid to make the biggest mistake of letting the man that I love. The man who makes me happy. The man who makes me feel special. The man who accepts and loves me for who I am. But let's face the reality. That my happy ending with him will never happen anymore. Maybe in another life, I could be his girl again and I will never leave him. In another life, I would stay beside him, so I don't have to say that he's my TOTGA. The One That Got Away ko. I won't give him up even though there's a lot of hindrances. Us against the world. As long as we have each other. I will fight for our happy ending.
