Kiss Me When You're Sober (FREENBECKY)

XVII

Riley's POV

"Ry? Let's talk please?" I used to fall for this voice.

"Let's talk after my shift. I don't have time for you now." Hinila ko si ate Ren at iniwan namin si Jasmine. Mag hintay ka gaga.

I like how ate Ren is not asking about Jasmine. She just let me drag her to the VIP room.

Pag pasok namin sa room, nagsisigawan sila. There's a couch in the middle and they're having a body shot. Binitawan ko na yung kamay ni ate Ren at nag paalam sa kanya na pupunta na ako sa pwesto ko.

"Riley! You won't believe wha-"

"Si Jasmine?" putol ko sa kanya. Mas mukang nagulat pa si Marcus kesa sa akin.

Tama nga si ate Ren, I've already processed my feelings towards Jasmine. I don't have any unresolved feelings anymore. What I have are questions that need answers.

Nagsisigawan parin sila pero hindi ko nalang pinansin. Inalok ako ni Christine ng drinks at tinanggap ko yun.

I'm relieved that I'll be able to talk to Jasmine again because I'll get my answers but there's something that keeps bothering me.

It's about ate Ren.

"Hi Riley!" si ate Nita. Lumapit siya sa bar counter. Naiingayan at naiirita daw siya dun sa nag ba body shot.

Oh wait, I have to thank her.

"Ate Nita! Thanks pala sa pinadala mo na pagkain yesterday." Nakita ko sa muka niya yung pagtataka.

"Oh! That?! It was Ren, she used my card." What? How come she didn't say anything about it earlier?

Lumakas yung sigawan.

"Nakakairita talaga si Ren, kapag ako ayaw pero kapag iba okay lang." Ha?

"What do you mean ate?" tinuro niya yung nag ba body shot.

Putangina.

Si Ate Ren at Jasmine.

"Sis ang wild nila, hindi ko inexpect si Ma'am Ren." Bulong ni Marcus. "Tapos yung ex mo ganyan pala dumila." Dagdag niya. Napapikit ako.

Tumingin ako dun sa couch kung saan nag ba body shot si Jasmine at ate Ren. Nagbubulungan sila at nakangiti pa. After non naglagay na ulit ng asin si Ma'am Stela sa collarbone ni ate Ren at dinilaan yun ni Jasmine.

Humarap ako kay ate Nita, "gusto mo ng body shot from ate Ren?"

"Umm.. yes? I like her Riley. I almost courted her pero ayoko sayangin friendship. Pero minsan nilalandi ko parin siya haha..." Sumasakit yung ulo ko sa mga nalalaman at nangyayari ngayong gabi.

Lord pinagsabay sabay mo naman?

Humingi ako ng whiskey kay Christine pero ang bruha ayaw akong bigyan kasi nag vodka na daw ako. Pero binigyan parin niya ako in the end.

May lumapit din dito sa bar counter at inabutan ako ng drinks. Tinanggap ko nalang. Nakadalawang shot ako from him.

Tapos na yung body shot nila at bumalik na si ate Ren sa table niya. I saw her looking at me. Umiwas ako. Uminom nalang ulit ako, patapos na rin naman yung shift namin.

Pero wait... may kakaiba sa drink na 'to?

Ren's POV

I immediately run towards Riley when she passed out but Jasmine is way faster than me. I'm watching her carrying Riley on her back and it seems that she knew how to handle Riley's body with care.
