Chapter 37: Feel the Heat

Victoria Abbel's Point of View

Hiro drove me to my place. Wala na kaming pinuntahan na iba at dumiretso na lang sa condo ko. Pero nang makababa kami ni Hiro matapos niyang ipark ang kotse ay may bumisina na lang sa may likuran ng kotse ni Hiro. Kaya sabay kaming pumunta sa likod upang makita kung sino ang bumisina ng ganong kalakas. It was none other than Nikos, riding his red convertible car. Nakababa ang roof ng kotse niya, kaya naman kitang-kita ko ang binata. Agaw atensiyon talaga ang gusto ni Nikos. Katabi naman niya si Reeve sa may passenger seat na nakasimangot.

"Why are you wearing like... that?" Sabi ko at tinuro siya. Napatingin naman siya sa suot niya. He's actually wearing a black sunglasses, a floral polo but all the buttons are open, kaya naman nakikita ko ang sando niya sa loob. Pati ang short niya ay pareho lang ang design sa kanyang polo.

"Hi, Reeve!" I waved at her and she waved back at me. Reeve is Nikos' girlfriend and I wonder why is she dating the likes of Nikos? Hmm.

"What's wrong? Didn't Elizabeth told you?" Napakunot ang noo ko dahil hanggang ngayon ay wala pa rin akong na rereceived na kahit ano mula kay Elizabeth.

"Tell me what?"

"We're going to the beach!" Nikos explained.

"I didn't receive anything from her. And if I did, edi sana nakapag ready ako."

"Hop on, you two." Sabi ni Nikos sa aming dalawa ni Hiro na mukhang nagmamadali.

"Wait! Let me just get my things." Hindi ko na pinatapos ang sasabihin ni Nikos nang tumakbo ako papasok ng condo at naghintay sa elevator. I'm not going to the beach without even preparing for my clothes. And I'm not even wearing make-up! Hindi naman na bago sa akin na may nilalakaran kaming lahat, pero ngayon lang ako hindi nakapag handa.

"Victoria Abbel, there's no time for your things." Hindi ko namalayan na nakasunod na pala si Nikos sa akin.

"What's fun in that if you already prepare for it?" And then suddenly, I can't feel my feet on the ground. Nikos just scoop me from the ground and carry me like a sack of rice.

"Put me down! Nikos!" I shouted. Pinaghahampas ko na rin ang likod niya pero parang wala itong nararamdaman na sakit at pinapasok ako sa loob ng convertible.

"And we're off to go." I heard him muttered and started the car.

"What happened to your cheeks?" Nikos asked Hiro.

Hiro and I were both sitting on the back seat. Nakita ko ang pag-iling ni Hiro at tsaka kinwento ko kay Nikos ang nangyari sa restaurant kanina. Nikos laugh while driving while Hiro is groaning. Reeve is chuckling on the passenger seat. Hindi pa rin siguro niya matanggap ang nangyari sa kanya.

Nikos drove his red convertible without putting the car's roof. We've been in the car for almost four hours already. The sun from the horizon produced beads of perspiration along my neck. But it doesn't matter. I put my hands up to feel the fresh air while listening to the song in the radio.

"Turn the radio louder, Nik. Wooh!" Sabi ko habang sinasabayan ang kanta. It's Lady Gaga's song entitled Bad Romance and I was the only one singing along with it. Nikos and Hiro we're only shaking their heads because of my loudness. Some people are also staring at us while they're driving their car but I just ignore them.
