Mr. Popular's Heir

Part 3

He's a good role model and I knew na kapag tinigilan nya ang pagta-trabaho nya, he will excel in his Academics.

Anyway, that's not my problem.

Pagkadating ko sa bar ay wala pa si Xander kaya nauna na akong pumasok duon.

"I'm a dead meat" bulong ko. I just realize na mas inuna ko pa ang pumunta sa bar kaysa sa maghanap nang matutuluyan.

May mga lumapit kaagad sa akin na babae at hinila nila ako papunta sa dancefloor. Of course, I danced with them too. It's not like I'm cheating on my girl.

Yes, I want to call her my girl kahit hindi pa kami. I just want to comfort and encourage my self that sooner or later she will be mine too. But I don't dare to call her like that kapag nasa harap ko sya.

She might turn me down kapag ginawa ko iyon.

After dancing for a while, Naisipan kong uminom na lang habang hinihintay si Xander but I didn't expect na sobrang tagal pa pala bago sya makadating.

I'm quite drunk nang makadating sya. I almost thought that he ditch me.

"I'm sorry. May pinagawa si Dad sa akin kaya na-late ako" tinanggal nya ang coat nya bago sya umupo at nag order nang drinks.

I'm sure he went on a business meeting together with his dad.

"Yeah? You've made me wait for four hours. It's one in the morning already" I was mad at him. I couldn't even remember if I have a class tomorrow.

"You sound like my girlfriend" he frowned bago sya uminom. "Dapat nauna ka na lang umuwi"

"I don't have a home right now. Did you forget? I told you na pinalayas ako ni Mommy" Napailing-iling na lang ako and I decided to scold him for fifteen minutes.

"You should've told me earlier para hindi na kita inimbita para mag bar! You're not thinking again!" Xander was like a brother to me and he likes to scold me too.

"I'm going to live on the street now" pangu-ngunsensya ko sa kanya. "Do you want to see me suffering?" dagdag ko pa.

"Fine, you can use my place for the mean time" He sighed deeply and I grinned.

His place was perfect enough for me. Malapit iyon sa school so I don't need to worry anymore.

"What do you mean by that? Aren't we going to live together there or perhaps you've bought another place?" Oh, and my vision was turning blurry now. I can see Two Xanders already.

"This semester I'm just going to submit some modules and such. I need to go abroad with my Dad since he's expanding our business there" Paliwanag nya naman and I gently rubbed my eyes.

I don't know where to look at. Am I gonna talk to the Left Xander or to the Right Xander?

Oh! now there's another Xander.

"You should go home. You look drunk" paalala nya sa akin at umiling naman ako.

"I'm not drunk yet"

"You are"

"No, I'm not" I insisted.

"You still have a class later" he pointed out and I tilted my head at the side.

"Do I?" tanong ko sa kanya.

"Yes" sagot nya naman. "I'm your classmate so I know our schedule obviously"

My girl would be mad at me kapag hindi ako pumasok! What do I do now?

I won't be able to see my girl kapag hindi ako pumasok!

"I think I should go now" tumayo ako and I was shocked to discover that everything around me was moving.

Even the floor was moving like a jelly.

"Ihahatid na kita" usal naman ni Xander but I declined kaagad.

"I don't want" I will drive by my self. I'm still perfectly fine.

"Be careful then" Xander hesitated for a little while but then pinayagan nya din ako since alam nyang hindi ako papayag na ihatid nya ako. "Here's the key"

"Alright. Don't worry" I gave him a flying kiss bago ako naglakad palabas sa bar and I even saw his face turned pale.
