Kiss Me When You're Sober (FREENBECKY)

VIII

Riley's POV

"RILEY?!!!"

Nagulat ako kasi pag kalabas ko ng restroom, sabay sabay silang tatlo na sinigaw yung pangalan ko. Si ate Nita, Doc Tristan, and Jenna.

I'm confused why Jenna is here but I have no energy to ask her.

"Hey Riley what are you doing he- oh wait you work here?" Doc Tristan asked.

I just nod at him.

"Ohhh okay... by the way did you see Re-"

"She's inside the restroom Tris. Go and get her. Jenna please help Tristan." ate Nita said while she's looking at me, worriedly. Why is she giving me that look?

Pagkapasok ni Doc Tristan at Jenna sa restroom hinila ako ni ate Nita papasok ng VIP room.

"Upo ka Riley, I'll just get my bag." she said calmly.

"Hindi na ate, lilinisin ko pa 'tong bubog."

"Sit down Riley." matigas niyang sabi. I've never seen or heard her talk like that. Umupo nalang ako. I don't know, I suddenly feel drained as well that's why I didn't bother to argue.

When ate Nita got her bag, she sat beside me. Nilabas niya yung wipes sa bag niya at humarap sa akin.

Teka, para saan yung wipes?

"Don't think about it, she didn't mean it." ang sabi ni ate Nita tapos pinunasan niya yung gilid ng labi ko.

Huh?

Then I saw the wipes. Ate Nita is removing the lipstick smudges around my lips. It means, she knew that Ma'am Ren kissed me.

"H.. how did you know ate that she didn't mean it?" i asked.

"First of all Riley she's drunk. Second, she will tell you once she sober up that she didn't mean it, kaya uunahan ko na siya so that you won't think about it that much." she explained.

Yes, she's right. It's because of the alcohol. Nag overreact ka nanaman Riley.

"And also... it's her habit. Bigla bigla nalang siya nanghahalik kapag sobrang lasing na."

Ha?

"Pano yun ate kapag nasa bar? Basta may mahila siya hahalikan niya?" anong habit yan?!!!

"Riley, kapag lasing na lasing lang siya. Mataas tolerance niyan ni Ren sa alak pero once she reached her limit, dun na siya nanghahalik." natatawang sabi ni ate Nita. It seems like she really knows Ma'am Ren. She added,

"Si Jenna yung muntik na niyang mahalikan kanina, pero napigilan namin ni Tristan. Actually, Ren kissed me and Tristan already. Ako sa lips si Tris sa cheeks. Pero multiple pecks lang kasi napigilan namin."

"Peck lang po?!" please ate Nita say no...

"Yes peck lang kasi napigilan namin. I don't know what will happen kung hindi." she said then tumawa siya.

OMG ka Riley, pinipigilan kasi dapat hindi sinasabayan!

Tinulungan ako ni ate Nita na linisin yung kalat nila. Habang nag lilinis, kwento ng kwento si ate Nita ng kung anu ano. Random lang, which helps me to divert my thoughts.

Ang sarap niya talaga kausap.

Para akong asong napapangiti sa mga kwento niya about her college days and struggle niya sa course na psych. One thing that I like about ate Nita is that I can relate to her.
