"Sumama ka na, Adi, please?" halos lumuhod si Alee sa harap ko para lang sumama sa punyetang bar na sinasabi niya.
"Bakit ba kasi gusto mo 'kong isama, ha?" I irritatedly asked. Nakita na kasing nagtatrabaho ako, e!
"Para naman mag-enjoy ka! Puro ka na lang work, kaya ampangit pangit mo na, e! Magbar ka tapos malay mo madiligan ka pa!" she happily said kaya pinanlisikan ko siya ng mata.
"Hoy Aleesa Montreal, maganda ako kahit hindi madiligan!" I said before throwing her a scrambled paper.
She laughed so hard. Inis ko siyang tinitigan. Pumunta ba siya rito para lang manggulo?
"Tara na kasi, sis! Pampawala ng stress. Sunday naman bukas, okay lang kung tanghali ka na magising!" she uttered.
"Ayoko pa rin, Alee." I sighed.
"Ayaw mo pa rin ba kung sasabihin kong nandoon ang crush mo?" she smirked.
My eyes twinkled as I looked at her. "N-Nando'n si Kyle?" I asked.
"Oh yes, madame! Ano pang hinihintay mo? Tara na!"
She immediately grabbed me outside my office. "I'll just change my clothes, Alee!" reklamo ko nang mapag-alamang didiretso na kami sa bar na sinasabi niya.
She snorted. "E'di pupunta pa tayo sa unit mo?" she asked.
"Malamang, bobo." I rolled my eyes.
Ganoon nga ang nangyari. We stopped by in the Condominium. I just wore a black cropped top and a denim skirt and a YSL heels. I also put a perfume on my wrists and neck before putting a light make up.
Nang bumaba ako at pumasok sa kotse ay ang masamang tingin agad ni Alee and nakita ko.
"What?" I asked.
"Ang tagal mo, pucha." she said as she drove the car.
"Sinabi na kasing sumama ka sa unit, e." I said.
She said so many things bago man lang kami makarating sa bar. "Where's ate Fiona?" I asked.
Alee just shrugged her shoulders. "Nasa loob na siguro kasama ang friends niya." she answered before grabbing me again inside the bar.
Maingay at nakakahilong lights ang sumalubong sa amin sa loob. I felt like it's my first time. Kailan pa ba 'ko huling nakapasok dito? It was so many years ago. Seven or eight?
Agad naming nahanap ang table ni Ate Fiona, Alee's elder sister. She's with her circle of friends. Napa-iwas ako ng tingin nang makita si Kyle. He's so hot wearing his khaki shorts and blue shirt.
"Hey coz!" Ate Fiona greeted me using her beautiful smile.
Tumango lang ako sa kaniya bago maupo sa couch, I sat beside Kyle. Well, hindi na ako teenager para mahiya!
I was about to talk to him pero agad akong kiniblit ni Alee. I turned my head to her, ready to glare her but I didn't.
I was expecting her to give me a drink pero pasimple niyang itinuro ang naka-upo sa harapan namin na hindi ko man lang napansin mula pa kanina!
He's looking at me intently while holding a glass of tequila. The man who's sitting in front of us is definitely my ex best friend!
Oh my god, why is Red Adleigh Soriano here?!
