Pursuing Fondness

Kabanata 11

I raised a brow when I noticed Steya, we're here at her room for almost an hour but she haven't talk about anything yet. Looks like she's having a deep thoughts.

"Care to share?" I asked and snap my fingers in front of her face.

Steya is pretty. Short and black hair, dark brown eyes, pouty lips, pointed nose and well-shaped jaw. She have this intimadating aura that can attract both genders.

She looked at me and sighed.

"I have a question"

"Spill" saad ko at sinuklay ang buhok gamit ang mga daliri.

"WWhat's your idea about being a mmistress?" tila interesadong tanong niya.

"Well, it's not actually a good idea. Like being a mistress you won't have a peace of mind. And being a mistress means you're ruining someone's relationship. Why settle for less right? Though marami ang pumapayag na maging kabit but there's a karma of course" sagot ko at tumingin sa bintana.

Natahimik siya

Why is she asking about being a mistress though?

"Are you planning to be a mistress?" gulat na tanong ko

"What?! Silly, no freakin' way" gulat na saad nito at mabilis na lumabas.

I can't help but to overthink. Steya wouldn't ask something weird unless she's interested on it. Or maybe she watched to much movies.

Naglakad ako patungo sa balcony at tumingin sa madilim na langit.

Lately she's been avoiding me. Astrid is avoiding me. Ever since we came back from the island, she's not giving me some attention for fucking 2 weeks.

I don't even know what I did or what's her problem. Is she even serious, after making out with me she'll just avoid me?

Malungkot akong ngumiti.

Sinusubukan kong kunin ang atensyon niya nung mag aaral ako mag surf kaso nalaman ko nalang na nilipat niya na ang surfing lesson ko kay Ava.

Pumasok akong muli sa kwarto at napagdesisyunang magbihis. Inaya ako ni Ava at ng mga kaibigan niya na pumunta sa night club dito sa beach. 

Nagsuot ako ng puting tube dress at puting flat shoes lang. Tinali ko sa bun ang buhok ko at nag-iwan ng kaunting strand sa harap.

Agad akong tumakbo patungo sa elevator ng akmang magsasara na ito, pero agad din akong nagsisi ng makita kung sino ang kasabay ko.

Sana pala di ko nalang hinabol..

It's Astrid and Phoebe. Phoebe is wearing a plunging dress while Astrid is wearing a beach polo and khaki shorts.

Kitang kita ko ang reflection nila sa elevator, nakakapit si Phoebe sa braso ni Astrid habang nakasandal si Astrid sa pader. Nagulat ako ng magtama ang paningin namin mula sa reflection ngunit agad akong umiwas.

"Going somewhere, miss Sachzna?" basag ni Phoebe sa katahimikan

Tumingin ako sa kanya at hindi sinasadyang magtama ang paningin namin ni Astrid.

"Night club" simpleng sagot ko at tumingin muli sa harap

"Ooohhh we'll go there too, do you mind if we join you?" tanong pa nito

What does this girl want now?

"Uhm may mga kasama kasi ako, it's better if you'll just enjoy your date with her" may halong pait na sabi ko

Kasabay non ay ang pagbukas ng elevator. Nauna na akong lumabas at huminga ng malalim bago nagtungo sa club.

Sinalubong ako nila Ava at ang iba pa niyamg kaibigan. Agad nila akong hinila patungo sa isang table.

I can't help but to admire Ava. She looks hot in her button down polo and shorts. She's holding a wine glass but she looks bored.

"Hoy Ava, shot mo na" sigaw ni Thea

I didn't know that Thea is a wild woman, mukhang kanina pa siya umiinom sa itsura niya palang.

Inabot ni Solene ang shot glass kay Ava na may tequila. Walang gana itong tinanggap ni Ava. Ngunit bago pa mainom iyon ni Ava ay tumayo ako at hinablot iyon sa kanya bago ininom ng deretso.

Naupo ako sa tabi ni Ava ay kumuha ng lemon.

"That's my shot" sabi nito at umusog palayo ng konti

Napataas ang kilay ko "Sorry naman po" sabi ko at ngumiti

"You want to get wasted?" tanong nito habang nakatingin sa gilid

Nagtaka naman ako "Huh?"

"You want to get wasted because of them, right?" sabi nito at tinuro ang tinitignan niya kanina

Nagtataka ko iyong nilingon. Only to see Phoebe doing a body shot on Astrid. She's licking Astrid's neck while sitting on her lap.

Napaiwas ako at kumuha ng isang shot ng tequila.

"I knew it" sabi ni Ava.

Pinatong niya ang kamay sa ulo ko at ngumiti. I can't help but to notice something in her eyes and that smile, she looks like in pain or what. Nagkatitigan kami ngunit agad akong napaiwas ng makuha ng tao sa stage ang attention ko.

"Okay, may I invite miss Steya Rosche here on the stage to sing a song for us" sigaw ng bakla sa stage

Nagsigawan at palakpakan ang mga tao nang umakyat si Steya sa stage, hawak ang kanyang gitara.

"Kapatid mo yan diba??" tanong sakin ni Rocky

Tumango lang ako at nanliliit ang mga matang tinignan si Steya. What's up with her?

Steya is not a type of girl who perform in front of a huge crowd, but she still do it sometimes if it is important or for someone.

Now I'm wondering who's this person who got my sister singing in front of a crowd.

She started strumming her guitar while closing her eyes.

You love to be a troublemaker
Leaving now then fuck me later
It's always later, later, later
And I let you come back 'cause sticking 'round is in my nature
And tolerating bad behaviour
You know that I do that
You love that I do that

She opened her eyes and eyed someone in the crowd. Now I know, she's fucking singing for someone. That made me more curious.

You, you know my weaknesses
You banking a break of my rules
Yes, you take advantage, know how to manage my whole fucking planet

You've been playing wicked games
You know what to do to me
I tried to stay steady
I'ma leave but you try to make me misbehave
Fucking up my energy
One day I'll be over all them wicked games, yeah

Always show up when I'm fiending
And in the moment it's appealing
But you're so good disappearing
And I'm just so bad at the truth

You know my weaknesses
You banking a break of my rules
Yes, you take advantage, know how to manage my whole fucking planet

You've been playing wicked games
And you know what to do to me
I tried to stay steady
I'ma leave but you try to make me misbehave
Fucking up my energy
One day I'll be over all them wicked games, yeah, yeah
