Chapter Thirty Two: What Was That?

"Thank you." salamat ko agad kay Alexander na binilhan ako ng tubig at ng gamot din for my headache.

Me and Genevieve had so much fun last night na masyado yata akong naparami ng inom, it was my last job too for Silas' agency so I just wanted to have fun with my best friend.

Masarap naman kasing talagang uminom kaso nga lang sa tuwing nagigising ako pagkatapos ng ilang bote ng Heineken ang naubos ko, doon ko bumabalik ang rason ko kung bakit hindi ako dapat umiinom ng gano'ng karaming bote.

Alexander and I saw each other in the elevator pataas sa floor ng apartment ko.

He was not happy.

Just like a normal best friend would do, tinulungan niya 'kong makapasok sa loob ng apartment ko without throwing up, at binilan niya rin ako gamot at extra tubig.

I'm thankful for him, for being such an amazing friend.

I think Genevieve is still sleeping, Quinten arrived and said na siya na raw bahala sa kanya.

Ipagdadasal ko mamaya si Genevieve para buhay pa siya.

"What happened last night? And how many bottles of Heineken did you drink?"

"Paano mo naman nalamang Heineken?"

"You love Heineken when you want to have fun, Rina."

"Ugh... it was a really fun night, really fun."

"Huh, with your date?" rinig kong bulong niya.

Tiningnan ko lang siya habang ininom ko yung bote ng tubig na binili niya para sa'kin.

"Yup, Genevieve."

"Genevieve?"

"Yes, it was a girls' night, last shoot ko na kasi sa agency ni Silas. We just wanted to have fun. Girls' night, date night, gano'n..." tawa ko.

Ang dami rin naming pinagdaanan ni Genevieve kagabi.

We ate so much, we drank way too many bottles of alcohol, and we sang our hearts out in the karaoke.

We really had so much fun.

"Ah... akala ko naman kung ano..."

"Anong akala? Anong inakala mo?"

Blanko lang din ang ekspresyon niya dahil sa tanong ko.

Pinagpatuloy ko lang ang paginom ng tubig na binili niya sa'kin.

"Nothing. Wala lang... haha."

Damn it. I'm so jealous of him. Ang bango niya at ang amoy ko naman parang bangungot, parang gusto kong masuka dahil sa sarili kong amoy.

"May problema ba? Masakit ba ulo mo?"

"No... ang bango mo lang kasi..."

"B-Bango?"

"Yup, at amoy bangungot ako, ugh..."

Yep, hindi muna ako iinom ng alcohol for a month, ngayon parang gusto ko lang isuka ang lahat ng nainom ko pero it's too late to do that now.

"Nah, you smell good."

"You didn't have to lie, Alex."

"When have I ever lied to you? Kailangan mo lang ng pahinga, just rest."
